I spent 25 hours stomping on Koopas and Goombas in Super Mario Bros. Wonder for Switch 2, and although its multiplayer minigames left me conflicted, I still had a wonderful time. https://t.co/EwEINQMoGg

It's impossible to keep up with Kingdom Hearts lore. I didn't know Sora was meant to be doing all of that.
Marathon is the textbook example of a first-party franchise you nurture until it blossoms. If Sony's not willing to do that then what's the point. https://t.co/n1RGCTnk9p https://t.co/rLyuki5pLs
"Since its May 2025 release, 'Steal A Brainrot' has earned an estimated $64 million from in-game purchases like swords and invisibility cloaks, according to data from Romonitor." https://t.co/rY3HriDxtN
for a minute i thought about leaving media for the games industry. but it would be like getting out the frying pan into another frying pan.
What should I ask David Baszucki, co-founder and CEO of Roblox, https://t.co/nLSMq7mVir, please leave your suggestions in the comments section of this blog post.
Sad news for Epic Games. Hope the efforts to turn things around can work. https://t.co/FBlVb6WIBF https://t.co/8zDXLkk11p

Crimson Desert has grown on me (about 6 hours gameplay over the weekend). At times its baffling and complicated but if you accept you need strategy, it becomes fun.
@iquilezles For the entire duration of the latest 3blue1brown video, all I kept thinking was, "This is surely something Inigo Quilez had done in a shader at some point." https://t.co/wkzlP2lGY5
Sunday @v0: a web-based 3D Jenga game. Everything is procedurally generated: the structure, the bricks, the wooden texture, the sounds, the carved-in ▲ on the top pieces. I tweaked the physics enough that it feels as fun and frustrating as the real...
it’s actually wild crimson desert plays better than death stranding 2. i don’t recommend steam deck for either but i loaded up CD and it runs and looks better than DS2. hopefully KojiPro can make some additional optimizations. steam deck...
Look, y’all remember the optional airport mission for MW2? Yeah, so I can imagine a scenario where someone pretends to be ICE and does the same thing. Then “evidence will be found that points to Iran” and then nukes goes...
I've said this a few times now, but I'll keep saying it: it's also a mistake to assume that the industry in general cares whether something is a clear improvement. We have a long history of adopting new practices that...
🚨 Game studios are going to hate this. Tripo just demoed Smart Mesh at GDC2026 and it generates production-ready 3D meshes with clean topology in 2 seconds. No retopology. No cleanup. No $50K outsourcing budget. Here's the full breakdown: ↓ https://t.co/tjDwDx0Oea

Marathon PVP is another level of ruthless, even when the opposing player has nothing to gain. https://t.co/8EDMckdFuv
This was kind of fun. Codex: "download nethack, add new items that would make the game easy to win and make me feel powerful" It did & it successfully gave me a new .exe file, navigating various issues to do so,...
Any skin collectors/traders looking to offload a Black Pearl Butterfly my way? Looking to make a trade. Tweet me or DM if possible.
yeah i’m done talking about this game. i have a great angle for a review and ive been talking about CD because 1) it’s a fascinating project and 2) Im Korean. this is from my people. it interests me greatly...
i didn’t say that andy. now you got people thinking i’m defending crimson desert 😭 i’m just saying it’s not a great streaming experience to see people struggle with MMO quest design. https://t.co/80TmmPpo6z
@RockstarGames servers are down. And here I thought i would try to enjoy some gaming on a Saturday afternoon... what was i thinking?
if you'd like to learn why brood war is the best esport ever here's a crazy Protoss vs Zerg from ASL s19 quarterfinals - starts as a very aggressive cheese and turns into a super long exhaust macro game https://t.co/X5XEIeQ1TL
I mentioned the anti-woke fault lines in the Crimson Desert discourse and some people were like what the hell are you talking about, but now there is a culture war freakout about sites reporting on AI in the game that's...
Should Niantic's background with the CIA make us nervous about what it's going to do with the virtual world created from 30 billion data points accumulated by Pokemon Go?
just joined geforce now. game changing experience on the steam deck. re9 with path tracing and no noticeable latency. https://t.co/VMIWAF8Bna
these weird bugs happen far too often with game launches on the Xbox app for PC. I can’t remember the last time I had a problem buying or downloading a game on Steam
The discourse over the 2X cutscene speed skip was so funny. Anyone who spent 100 hours ignoring the boring story of vanilla Final Fantasy 14 was wondering why there was no skip story completely option lol
comments like this annoy me but its my fault for not being clearer. obviously CD boasts a more robust move set. but the game FEELING is AC RPG and i love most of the AC RPGs. so this wasn’t even bashing...
NEW: At GDC, I asked Blue Prince lead designer Tonda Ros to pick the game's best and worst puzzles The former was easy for him The latter was tricky, and led him to telling me about a puzzle he might tweak in...

fwiw i always love control schemes that don’t conform to homogenized standards. i love that CD uses buttons weirdly. my issue was always feel. that’s where the AAA homogeneous features are.

Seems very likely that at least some of the in-game art in Crimson Desert was generated with AI. Whether that's by design or poor quality control over a sprawling development pipeline, it's really gona poison the well for some https://t.co/q8ogbsvWII

I feel like I’m losing my mind. In the original Crave release of Heated Rivalry, was there a missing VFX shot of Hunter in the Cup scene? I could swear that the arena spotlight went over the crowd and it...
