Virtually reality: why isn’t VR more popular?

VR is impressive to watch — but it is less impressive to purchaseMany people probably have experience of VR second-hand, rather than from the comfort of their own home. A casual demo in a gaming convention here, or a half hour spent on someone else’s setup there — the interest exists, but the demand does not.The titles already coming out for it are getting better and better, and have already contributed to a branch of Youtubers focusing on VR content. VRChat, Beat Saber and Half Life: Alyx have been raising

There are big movements in gaming right now to make games cross-platform (not

Those who have played through Sabotage's The Messenger may remember seeing a lot of references to that world's past. Sun and moon symbology all over, along with references to solstice heroes of the past. It was a fascinating look into that world's history, a history that Sabotage is ready to explore more in-depth with its next project, Sea of Stars. [embedded content] Sea of Stars will take place in the same world as The Messenger, but it is very much not like the 2018 platformer. This is a turn-based RPG

Super Doom: How id Software’s Opus Made the Jump to Super NES

ON DECEMBER 10, 1993, ID Software's developers uploaded Doom to a high-speed file-sharing server maintained by an IT administrator who oversaw University of Wisconsin's network. The shareware episode arrived to great fanfare. So great, in fact, that the admin had to ask hundreds of users eager to download Doom to log off so id could transfer the game. Instantly the chat rooms became ghost towns. At midnight on the dot, the gamers at id uploaded their game, and all hell broke loose. Grown adults in businesses suits clogged office networks
