Factions can be a very important part ofStarfield.You will join the faction Constellation by default simply playing through the main missions. But, once you start exploring the galaxy, you will also have the ability to join a few other factions: the United Colonies Vanguard, the Freestar Rangers, Ryujin Industries, and the Crimson Fleet. There are also three religious factions: the House of the Enlightened, Sanctum Universum, and The Va’ruun. However, it’s not possible to join these three factions other than choosing them as a trait when creating a character....

I have to say, just thinking about playingDark Soulsterrifies me. As someone who gets easily frustrated while playing videogames, the idea ofDark Souls‘ punishing gameplay seems like a recipe for an ulcer. However this new trailer makes the game look pretty enticing. It’s not the firstDark Soulsmedia I’ve seen, but man do those boss battles look impressive; that dragon is freaking huge! A giant wolf with a glowing sword in it’s mouth?...

Baaaa-dum. Baaaaa-dum. Ba-dum-ba-dum… Depthdeveloper Digital Confectioners has announced its sharks vs. divers multiplayer game will be coming to the PlayStation 4 next year. The announcement is part of its anniversary celebrations, which seems a bit late seeing as the game came out at the start of last November, but let’s just conveniently ignore that. The game is set to launch on the PS4 “in the first half of 2016,” however a definitive date or price point hasn’t been confirmed yet....

Working towards a million Earlier today, the Kickstarter forDivinity: Original Sin 2debuted, and it’s already exceeded it’s goal of $500,000. In fact, as of the time of this writing, its catapulted into the $750,000 range, and is eyeing a cool million in the near future.

Did we die and go to RPG heaven? Even as someone who doesn’t have any personal attachment toSeiken Densetsu 3, I’m confidentTrials of Manawill work its magic. Today’s a good day to check in on Square Enix’s remake for PC, PS4, and Nintendo Switch if you haven’t kept up. This “deep dive” trailer will bring you up to speed in a flash. No, really – you don’t need to have played a single game in theManaseries to follow along....

Were you at E3? Then there’s no way you could have missedthe crazy hobo-looking dudepreaching something on the path between the two main show floor halls of E3. There’s a certain big city mindset people develop where after you’ve lived in a city long enough, you kind of just block out the crazy people. Well that’s what I ended up doing to the man preaching “No Hope Left” each time I had to pass him....

Electronic Super Joy designer tells all Last week’s Sup Holmes (now oniTunes) was a real barn burner. Cassie Chui lit up the screen with her effervescent personality and passion for game design. She decided at the early age of eight that game development was in her future. It was the N64 that did it to her, though what part she would play in game creation remained unclear for many years....

More than meets the eye When I saw this trailer forEldritchearlier in the week, I wasn’t convinced—not enough to write a post here, anyway. After spending some time with an alpha build of this first-person Lovecraftian roguelike from Minor Key Games, however, I had to fire up the ol’ editor. I’ve been struggling to figure out what, exactly, sold me on the game that wasn’t present in the video. Something aboutEldritchjustfeelsright....

Woah, what’s going on here? The 160GB PS3 is currently listed for $199.99 atGameStop, a nice price that knocks off $50 from the standard. This could just be a really nice sale, or maybe a tease of things to come from Sony at E3. It’s probably just a sale, as the price still stands at $249.99 at Best Buy, Amazon and others. A price drop for PS3 would be fantastic, though even the low price of $200 wouldn’t hold up against the rumored Xbox Lite, which some are saying would be a disc-less system priced for $99....

God, friggin’… AAAAARGH! Another lateHAWPpost! Christ, why can’t I ever catch these on time!? If they were on YouTube, I’d get direct email notifications of new uploads, but noooooooOOO!!! The Burch’s are doing this to me on purpose. I know they are. I have gut feelings. In this week’s — I’m sorry —lastweek’s episode ofHey Ash, Watcha Playin’?, Anthony’s family sits him down to prevent him from from sinking deeper into mainstream mediocrity and to get him back on the indie hipster prick bandwagon....
