As too much of the industry embrace their own death through genAI, Konami say it's real people that are most important for making good games

I've taken a habit, recently, to proclaim my desire to explode in lieu of anything more realistically violent I could wish upon myself when I feel stressed. And, in what would likely be more concerning if I were a sentient bomb talking to a bomb diffusal squad, I've been saying that a lot lately, primarily because of the copious amounts of AI nonsense I've been seeing… everywhere. Epic Games, the ever-boycottable company called Microsoft, the decompiling community, the poison has found its way into everyone's veins and it's making me want to, say it with me now, explode! So you can imagine my relief to hear a developer say they don't think AI will make a massive impact. The developer? Perhaps surprisingly, Konami. Read more

Black & White 3 doesn't sound like it's ever going to happen, but good ole overpromising Peter Molyneux may have let slip about a remaster of the original

Peter Molyneux feels like a man who can never die. He's just sort of always been there, and seems like he always will be, making some kind of game where you can hypothetically do what you want, never quite living up to expectations. But hey, he's Peter Molyneux, what else would you expect? The complicated icon is still ticking away at his latest, Masters of Albion, but in a recent interview, he spoke of one of his old classics, Black & White, and the idea of a third entry in the series (and the fact that there might be something newish on the way).

Oh dear, half a year after launching Samson, Swedish developer Liquid Swords have filed for bankruptcy

Earlier this year, Swedish developer Liquid Swords released Samson, a GTA-ish, open world beat 'em up about dealing with debt, driving sturdy but battered cars, and saving your sister. It wasn't received all that well, including by us, notably because it was quite broken. While subsequent patches did seek to address those issues, it doesn't seem like it was quite enough, as the developer has gone bankrupt. Read more

RimWorld meets Moebius-esque roguelite colony sim Trailblazers: Into The March welcomes you aboard its hulking landships with a chonky-sounding demo

With the devs behind RimWorld gearing up for their next game with a recent engine switch, it'd be entirely fair if you were hankering for something new (if still familiar enough) yourself. Trailblazers: Into The March is one such game, having introduced itself to us earlier this year, a mishmash of the aforementioned colony sim, Nausicaa, Moebius, Andrei Tarkovski, Jeff Vandermeer, and FTL: Faster Than Light by Edwin's measure. And now you don't just have to look at its trailers, because there's a demo for you to have a go at. Read more

What are we all playing this weekend?

Saturday's are for having your mind read. Or, at least, this Saturday is because I'm seeing Derren Brown's new show. I'm a little self-conscious about it, not because I'm worried the mentalist will hypnotise me and make me profess a false love for consoles over PC games but because my partner and her family have never seen me at a magic (or magic adjacent show). Reader, I am an awful audience member for conjurors, illusionists, and psychics. Read more

"I lost the concept of home, until my grandmother took me into these forests" - Trollheim: Gnomes is a survival game from ex-DICE and Paradox devs that channels childhood fairytales

Swedish studio Off-leash Interactive and Denshattack publishers Fireshine Games have announced Trollheim: Gnomes, a survival-crafting fairytale in which you, a three-inch-high gnome, explore a procedurally generated forest derived from Nordic folklore. You'll be clambering up enormous trees, lighting campfires beneath mushrooms, and befriending or evading troublesome larger supernatural creatures known as "Väsen". I caught a briefing for Trollheim: Gnomes earlier this month, and while I worry this is generic fare on some level, I'd sure like to get lost in those procgen woods. I'm also interested in the game's eight-player multiplayer, in that it seemingly creates opportunities for hide-and-seek – the game's building system affords scope to camouflage your dwellings against the litter, moss and mold of the forest floor.

"Some people like it, some people are annoyed by it": Substructure may look like Factorio, but it changes the automation game in some fundamental ways

In many respects, as someone who has played a lot of automation games, Substructure is very familiar. It begins with you landing on the surface of an alien world and using nothing but pluck, the tools on your UI, and the schematics in your tech tree to construct a sprawling factory that claws up resources from the planet and transforms them into materials and components to build ever bigger machines. But it also hints at more. Read more

Over the Hill's off-roading simulation winches you in with a more laid-back take than SnowRunner's, but it'll still bite careless drivers

Over the Hill, a rather chillaxed take on brutal Saber Interactive off-roading sims like SnowRunner, is the latest game from vibesy driving enthusiasts Funselektor. The folks behind the likes of Art of Rally and Absolute Drift have assembled untamed wildernesses in the cold Canadian hills and the boiling desert of Algeria, before handing myself and Julian the keys to some 4x4s. Here’s our verdict. Read more

The pleasures of Double Fine's Thank You Bus Driver are not in the destination, nor the journey, but in slapping my disobedient passengers

Showing some gratitude is the least these scribbly wretches can do. The passengers in Thank You Bus Driver – Double Fine’s new comedy public transport sim – are almost invariably rowdy, entitled hypocrites, happy to sully my single-decker by picking their toes and bellowing down their phones, while only ever being seconds away from a strop if another traveller does the same. Still, here I am, locked in symbiotic misery with them, desperate to choke down the scraps of acknowledgement they’ll spare for arriving at their stop in good time. I hate them. Please love me.

Feature: 'He Has Taken Advantage of Extremely Talented, Kind and Professional People' - All Is Not Well with Boutique Retro Publisher 33 Games

A saga of unpaid wages, cancelled deals and past business problems. Earlier this year, the world of physical retro gaming welcomed 33 Games, a UK-based firm with big ideas for ensuring classic games got the legacy treatment they deserved. Kicking things off with Gremlin's Zool on the Sega Mega Drive, 33 Games also revealed it would reissue the SNES title Utopia, along with First Samurai and Stone Protectors, all in lavish physical editions.

Game Changer: Secret of Mana - the SNES Classic That Tided Me Over Until the 32-Bit Revolution Arrived

Secret weapon. Secret of Mana (or Seiken Densetsu 2, if you prefer) is one of those games that, when I think back to my first time playing it, felt like it arrived at a pivotal moment in my gaming history. That is because the day in early 1995 I bought a copy (pre-owned from a market stall in the English town of Northampton) was the exact same day I saw Ridge Racer running on the PlayStation for the first time. An independent gaming store sat right next to Northampton's open-air market (one of the largest in the country, which can trace its history all the way back to 1235, if you're interested) and was demonstrating an imported Japanese console from its window.

Game Changer: Zelda: Ocarina of Time - Not Quite My Favourite Zelda, but Utterly Mind-Blowing Back in 1998

A link to 3D. It's easy to see why so many people are eagerly anticipating the arrival of Zelda: Ocarina of Time on Nintendo Switch 2, a game with a Metascore of 99 and therefore widely regarded as one of the best ever made. Ocarina of Time's fame is the kind that transcends generations; the fame of the series certainly helps, but there's also the fact that this isn't the first time Nintendo has returned to the game – we've already had a 3DS update, after all – and this will have introduced Link's first 3D adventure to millions of new players who weren't alive when the 1998 original launched. History is set to repeat itself with the Switch 2 remake. Read the full article on timeextension.com

Interview: "I Wanted Something Instant" - We Spoke To The Creator Of The "Digital Museum" That Lets Players View Thousands Of N64 & PS1 Models

Final Fantasy VII! Resident Evil 2! Tomb Raider! & More. A new PS1 and N64 asset library (and "digital museum") has just launched, giving players the opportunity to view and compare models and animations from various classic games. Alfred Baudisch's Pardall Games Library went live late last month and currently features assets from 18 games in total, including the likes of Final Fantasy VII, Resident Evil 2, Spyro the Dragon, Tomb Raider, and GoldenEye 007, among several others. Understandably, given the impressive scope of the project and its potential applications, it immediately went viral, racking up thousands of shares and likes across Twitter/X and BlueSky, while drawing attention from artists, journalists, and other preservation-minded individuals. It even went on to inspire a small number of articles from publications like Destructoid and PC Gamer, the latter of which used the library as a jumping-off point to talk about "the best frog in all of gaming."

Interview: "We Don't Want This To Be A Forever Project" - Super Mario Kart DX Dev On The Impressive SNES ROM Hack Nearing The Finish Line

New characters! New items! New courses! & More! Earlier this week, the news broke that the long-awaited ROM hack Super Mario Kart Deluxe finally has a release date: December 25th, 2026. The ambitious project, led by MrL314 and ScouB, has been on Time Extension's radar since the site began in 2022, and looks to be one of the most impressive hacks ever released for the classic Super Nintendo kart racer, introducing new characters, modes, items, and so much more. Even better, none of these additions are reported to overwrite any base-game content, so you can still enjoy the original Mario Kart as is, alongside all this new content (provided you have a legal copy of the ROM on hand). It's also said to work on real hardware too, in addition to emulators, with the project shaping up to be something truly special for the retro Mario Kart community.
