Final Fantasy 14’s resident controller modder is turning the MMO into a Bob Ross simulator with a paintbrush controller for the new Pictomancer job

A custom controller maker is playing Final Fantasy 14’s new Pictomancer job in the most immersive way possible, essentially turning the MMO into a Bob Ross game.Content creator SuperLouis64 reveals on Twitter that they’ve “finally cracked the code” after spending the weekend prototyping a paintbrush controller for the colorful mage.I spent the weekend prototyping a Paintbrush controller for Pictomancer and I finally cracked the code!!I ended up going with the plan of having the player scan colors of paint and then literally PAINT to use the ability. So much left to build but the prototype is amazing 😭😭 pic.twitter.com/BoRyBD1CG8September 10, 2024As an accompanying video explains, the idea is to scan a color to queue up an action in-game. Once the color is detected, all you have to do is paint to use that same action. For example, if the controller detects blue, the game lines up the ‘Holy in White’ ability. The controller is designed to keep track of what colors are sca…

Metal Gear Solid Delta dev says they wanted it to be “almost too faithful” and explain why it’s not called “a Hideo Kojima game”

A faithful remake of a beloved game, like in the case of Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater, can be tricky. Finding the balance between retaining what made the original special and modernizing elements that haven’t aged well is a tall task for any developer. But according to production producer Noriaki Okamura in the second episode of Konami’s Metal Gear Production Hotline video series, the team would still rather come down on the side of being “almost too faithful” and maintain the original design of Snake Eater.When looking at an element like the zones separated by loading screens, Okamura mentions “that’s just how the game was designed. The rhythm and the shifting pace of gameplay flows from that choice.” He goes on to say, “if we had done anything to change that overarching design it would have changed the game entirely.”

The 10 best zombie games that will munch your brain

Something about the best zombie games makes them fascinating, disgusting, and awesome all at once. More often than not they’re rooted in survival a well as doubling up as some of the best horror games, launching players into post-apocalyptic wastelands where death is likely, provisions are scarce, and all that’s left to do is press on through the gnawing masses. Whether you love getting up close and personal with makeshift melee weapons or sending some undead brains flying with a shotgun, we’ve got you covered in our selection of the best ever zombie games out there.The voracious beasts you’ll find below are part of a storied subgenre with a glittering, gutsy history. Resident Evil popularized the zombie genre with one of the first and best survival horror games way back in the mid-90s, and has returned to prominence with its first-person slants on the formula in Resident Evil 7 and Resident Evil: Village. Its modern day remakes of the classics include Resident Evil 2, 3, and 4, but th…

A Minecraft Movie trailer reminds everyone of the games’ most evil moment: “Kids cried on Christmas day that we killed the pig”

A Minecraft Movie is certainly, urm, a thing that exists. While the pig-looking sheep mutant thing above is trying its best to distract from our every waking thoughts, at least the blocky adaptation’s first weird trailer has fans reminiscing on the series’ weirder moments.Minecraft itself keeps its world-building on the softer side. You play as a blocky guy. You bash blocks. You craft blocks. Eventually you enter an Upside Down realm with more blocks and dragons and cosmic, teleporting Endermen, but most of Minecraft’s more tangible narrative bits come from the spin-offs.Minecraft Legends and Minecraft Dungeons did their best to give the survival classic some named characters, villains, events, and lore, but it’s perhaps Telltale’s Minecraft: Story Mode that pushed the envelope the furthest. Despite the episodic adventure game debuting in 2015 – back before OG Telltale’s first closure – scenes from Minecraft: Story Mode still go viral every once in a while. One such scene, often m…

Final Fantasy creator Hironobu Sakaguchi can’t stay away, says he’s taking back his retirement plans because making games “may be more of a pleasure than a job”

Final Fantasy series creator Hironobu Sakaguchi says he reversed course on his retirement plans because he simply loves making games that much.In a machine-translated Famitsu interview, Sakaguchi confirmed he’s still working with the same team behind the 2021 mobile RPG Fantasian, which is finally getting a console and PC release this winter, on a brand new project, although he had no new updates to provide.”I made Fantasian thinking it might really be a retirement piece, but yes, I am withdrawing it,” Sakaguchi said. “We are starting to make progress on a new work … which means we are working on a new one.”This isn’t a new announcement, by the way. We first learned back in December 2022 that Sakaguchi was working on a “dark fantasy” game after he made comments suggesting Fantasian could be his final project. In November 2023, he again affirmed he was working on a new “dark fantasy” game, and at the top of this year he revealed he’d finished a plot outline despite being kept thorough…

The best Black Ops 6 SVD build and loadout

Best SVD loadout

Best SVD class

The best SVD build for the Black Ops 6 beta beefs up this excellent sniper rifle with the right attachments to improve its speed and handling. Sniping is extremely fun in BO6, with many players managing to top scoreboards with some seriously flashy kills. In fact, the SVD has definitely been one of the most popular guns used in the Black Ops 6 beta so far. At least judging by how often we’re being taken down by it, that is.

The key to making the SVD sing is to outfit it with the very best attachments, turning it from a decent sniper rifle to a must-try long-ranged option that’s easily one of the best loadouts in Black Ops 6. While SMGs like the C9 have dominated the meta in the ongoing beta so far, the SVD is slowly proving itself to be a real contender. To make the most of it, you’ll need to pair it with a good sidearm, in this case a shotgun, as well as the right Perks to fit the play style.Best SVD loadout in…

Resident Evil and Dead Space writer’s cyberpunk Metroidvania RPG has already doubled its Kickstarter goal with romance “echoing the depth” of Mass Effect

Altered Alma has already more than doubled its Kickstarter funding goal, and after playing its early demo, I can totally see why.Altered Alma is a Metroidvania that mixes acrobatic action-platforming with some RPG progression, all wrapped up in a gorgeous cyberpunk art style that has layers of small details hidden in the background just waiting to be soaked up. I could gush about the way it looks some more, but I’ll just leave the trailer down below so you can do that yourself.

Altered Alma – Official Demo Announcement Trailer | gamescom 2024 – YouTube

Watch On
What makes Altered Alma stand out slightly more than its other, similar contemporaries is that it’s also taking inspiration from Mass Effect – specifically Mass Effect 2’s – crew management and romance. You’re basically in charge of a large space ship with an ever-growing party that you can befriend, and eventually romance if you fancy. Oh, and the story comes from Still Wakes the Deep’s Emma Beeby, alongside Dead Space a…

New Valve shooter Deadlock is still in invite-only alpha, but it’s already got “very blatant” cheaters

Deadlock, Valve’s new shooter/MOBA hybrid, already has a problem with cheaters, which is presumably giving fans of Valve’s other shooters delicious schadenfreude and/or terror-filled flashbacks.Last week, footage of players utilizing some of Deadlock’s first cheats emerged. In the video, two players can be seen taking advantage of aim-botting and what appear to be bullets that curve around corners. An innocent player, reacting to that footage, notes that the cheaters are “very blatant,” and seemingly “do not care at all” that their wicked ways are so obvious to anyone watching.Taking a look at deadlock cheaters from r/SteamIt’s not an ideal situation, not least because Deadlock is a game in an invite-only alpha state that’s so early Valve has had to tighten restrictions against stat-tracking sites. It makes you wonder what the cheaters have to gain – with matchmaking and MMR changes also on the horizon, it’s not like winning a bunch of games now will offer long-term benefit.Hopefully, …
