The embattled Tekken X Street Fighter crossover game might still launch in the future despite recent reports of the project being "officially dead," according to Tekken producer Katsuhiro Harada.Reports began circulating earlier this week that the long-in-development title has been cancelled after Harada said that "development stopped but [the team] got about 30% done" in an episode of his talk show Harada's Bar. However, Harada took to TwitLonger to clarify his statement, saying the English subtitles misconstrued the actual status of Tekken X Street Fighter.In the post, Harada says the phrase "今はとめてますよ(ima tomete masuyo)" means "it's pending state" and similar to "pause." The episode's English subtitles suggested Harada meant development on the game is over. Harada said that's not that the case, as in context, the phrase means that "up to 30% of the development was in progress, but now it is still pending."Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

FX Networks has released the first full-length, official teaser for the highly anticipated Hulu debut of the American Horror Story spin-off--somewhat confusingly titled American Horror Stories. The anthology series will hit the streaming service starting July 15, with two episodes back-to-back.This first teaser, titled "Rubber Woman" at first glance doesn't seem particularly creepy based on name alone. But as you can see for yourself in the clip below, it's full of imagery that's unsettling, unnerving, and noticeably paying homage to the infamous red room from everyone's favorite disturb-athon, Twin Peaks.Of course, it's hard to exactly discern what this clip above might mean for the show itself, but at least we won't have long to wait to find out. (We do at least know that the show is expected to feature throwbacks to characters/creatures from previous episodes from the flagship series.) American Horror Stories promises "a different horror story each episode," and given that since 2011 the creators of American Horror Story have "sprouted a legion of dedicated fans who anticipate what terrors the next chapter will hold," they've certainly earned the license to keep us in suspense a little longer.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

Revealed at the Summer Game Fest Kickoff live event and then further detailed at the Xbox Showcase Extended, The Anacrusis is an upcoming four-player cooperative first-person shooter where you and your allies fight through waves of alien monsters. If that seems like an alien variation of Left 4 Dead, it should! The game is developed by Stray Bombay, a studio co-founded by Kimberly Voll and Chet Faliszek, the latter of whom is an ex-writer for Valve who penned Left 4 Dead.I reached out to Stray Bombay to ask the studio about The Anacrusis' overall narrative and how it plans to deliver a story over the course of folks' many replays. Keeping in mind that players will replay the game multiple times, Stray Bombay has designed The Anacrusis to have "hundreds" of stories."The Anacrusis is created to be infinitely replayable," Faliszek said. "That means the action, your tools, the enemy spawns are different each time you play. While the story isn't infinite, we understand how people will play the game and that replayability shapes the way we tell the story."Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

Valheim players can now log out normally without worrying about their character and/or world being corrupted as developer Iron Gate Studio released a new PC update that addresses the catastrophic save bug issues.Prior to the new fix, CEO Richard Svensson tweeted in February 2021 of the "world-destroying bug," urging players to back-up their data by ensuring its saved in the appropriate Valheim folder on the local hard drive. According to Svensson, the bug occurred when players exited the game by pressing ALT+F4, which prompted the erasure of entire characters and worlds.With patch 0.155.7, however, the "unusual case of world corruption caused when shutting down" has been resolved. Players don't have to divert to the roundabout methods to preserve save data--though it's still recommended.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com
