Alan Wake 2 took me out of my comfort zone and provided catharsis and reassurance in the most unexpected way

Fair warning: This feature explores the late endgame section of Alan Wake 2. Spoilers ahead. I pin a photo on Saga’s case board in Alan Wake 2. I’ve done this many times before, building up cases to progress through Remedy’s creative survival horror, but this time it’s very different. Instead of leading to more deductions, the evidence plants accusations that shine a light on Saga’s innermost fears. I’m really not in the Mind Place anymore. I’m in the Dark Place, an amplified manifestation of every doubt and anxiety Saga has. When I hover over clues, capitalized words angrily radiate blame, with criticizing notes appearing on the board to link more evidence to. This room that used to be a refuge from the terrors of Bright Falls has transformed into the worst kind of nightmare, and I keep seeing reflections of myself within it. Because, as I well know all too well, sometimes your own mind can be the scariest thing of all. “I’m my own worst enemy,” Saga says as her doubts drown…

Despite developing a “persistent universe” in Fortnite, Disney seemingly isn’t comfortable with all its characters using guns in a battle royale full of guns

Disney may be developing an increasingly close relationship with Fortnite, but that seemingly doesn’t mean we can expect every fan-favorite character to join the battle royale with a gun in tow. Disney-owned characters had already been part of Fortnite for some time, but in February, it was announced that Disney had bought a $1.5 billion stake in Epic Games, in a move that would also see the two collaborate on a new “persistent universe.” Since that announcement, we’ve seen a Fortnite-centric D23 stream hosted within the game itself, another Marvel-focused season, and brand new skins including some of The Incredibles. In a new interview with The Verge, Epic Games executive vice president Saxs Persson says Disney wants a place for “all things Disney,” and “they want to be part of an ecosystem we’ve built.” All that would add up with the sorts of things we’ve seen the two collaborate on so far, but Persson implies that the company isn’t totally comfortable with all of its belov…

Epic is already planning Unreal Engine 6, combining “high-end” dev tools with Fortnite’s simpler creative mode editor and enabling “persistent universe” games

Epic Games is already working towards Unreal Engine 6 – the next big iteration of its game creation toolkit – which is expected to be “several years” away.In an interview with The Verge, Epic’s CEO, Tim Sweeney, refers to the power of the company’s “high-end” engine, but also the “ease of use” of Unreal Editor for Fortnite (simplified tools players can use to make creative mode maps in the hit battle royale). He explains: “The real power will come when we bring these two worlds together so we have the entire power of our high-end game engine merged with the ease of use that we put together in [Unreal Editor for Fortnite]. That’s going to take several years. And when that process is complete, that will be Unreal Engine 6.”Sweeney explains that the idea for Unreal Engine 6 is that devs can simply “build an app once” and then be able to roll it out “as a standalone game for any platform,” with the option to put their work into any game that also chooses to “use this technology…

A year after WWE superstar Bray Wyatt’s untimely death, his “final creation” is finally getting the spotlight it deserves in WWE 2K24

WWE superstar Windham Rotunda – better known by his in-ring name Bray Wyatt – died in 2023 from a heart attack, the result of an existing condition that had been exacerbated by a COVID-19 infection. He was only 36, and the sudden death of a beloved performer hit the wrestling world hard at the time. Now, just over a year later, WWE 2K24 is paying tribute to Bray by recreating the character he never got the opportunity to bring to the ring.After Rotunda’s death, the Bray Wyatt: Becoming Immortal documentary gave us a look at what would have been the next iteration of his Fiend character. Makeup effects artist Jason Baker revealed that he and Rotunda had been collaborating on a new iteration of the Fiend costume that was effectively complete, including a creepy lantern shaped like the character’s mask, complete with animatronic eyes.On the October 4 edition of Smackdown, a brief teaser trailer for a WWE 2K24 update debuted, showing this new version of the Fiend, which had never previousl…

Claims that Concord cost $400 million are inaccurate, according to fan analysis that claims Sony’s ill-fated hero-shooter was “a $150 million game failure”

A claim that Concord cost $400 million to create spread far and wide across the internet the other week, though many are now increasingly questioning how that’s possible.Last week, a widely covered report citing a source claiming to have worked on Concord said that internal optimism at developer Firewalk Studios led some to believe the hero shooter would be the “Future of PlayStation” and that a culture of “toxic positivity” stopped any negative feedback dead in its tracks. The main kicker, though, was that the claim that the whole thing cost $400 million to make.One Kotaku reporter has backed up the point of toxic positivity, noting they had spoken to several sources who mention a “heads in the sand” mentality learned from the senior lead’s Bungie roots. When asked about the $400 million figure, they said they hadn’t been able to confirm it, though it wasn’t the number they had heard.That sentiment lines up with the mood of other journalists, with one saying you only have to…
