Alan Wake Remastered, a refreshed 4K version of the 2010 game and its two expansions, is on the way from Epic Games. The remaster will launch this fall on PC via the Epic Games Store, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X|S.According to a press release, the remaster will include the core 2010 game, plus The Signal and The Writer DLC, along with a new commentary track from creative director Sam Lake. This also marks the first time the game will be available for PlayStation owners--it was previously exclusive to Xbox 360 and PC. Lake announced the remastered version of the game in an open letter to fans on Alan Wake and Remedy fan site The Sudden Stop.Alan Wake centers on the titular horror writer as he searches for his missing wife across the Pacific Northwest town of Bright Falls. The third-person shooter pairs your standard weapons with a flashlight, which you have to use to weaken the supernatural monsters by shining lights on them. It was inspired by mystery and thriller series such as Lost and Twin Peaks, and the works of Stephen King. It received a follow-up, the more arcade-like, combat-focused Alan Wake's American Nightmare, in 2012.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

PUBG creator Brendan Greene AKA PlayerUnknown has left PUBG Studios and is now working on a wildly ambitious-sounding game at his studio PlayerUnknown Productions. Greene shared more details on this project in an interview with GamesBeat, saying the idea is to create a metaverse, of sorts, and give people a new place to exist in a game world that is the size of the Earth."We want to give people a new place to live, because this one has some issues," Greene said of the new game, which is being made under the working title Artemis. Greene didn't want to say the word metaverse, but it sounds like that's what he is trying to achieve."I don't want to say that word. I've been thinking long and hard about this. I watched Ready Player One and I thought, 'Holy sh**, that's what I want to make,'" he said.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

Nintendo is one of the most successful video game companies of all time, and much of its success comes from taking creative risks. Those often pay off in big ways, like with the Wii and the Switch, and others… not so much. Nintendo has created tons of its own weird experiences and devices over the years, and the best weird Nintendo experiences have also come via third-party companies making devices that work with the system. We've rounded up 15 of them, ranging from unique and creative add-ons to pieces of plastic that just had us scratching our heads.For more on Nintendo, check out the best Switch exclusives, as well as the best Switch games for kids and the best multiplayer Switch games.Game Boy Camera and Game Boy PrinterGame Boy CameraIt's hard to imagine today if you're younger, but there was a time when everyone didn't have a camera in their pockets at all times and cell phones were only for making phone calls. Nintendo decided the best way to correct that was the Game Boy Camera, a game cartridge and camera combination that plugged in just like any other game. It could take pictures in such low resolution that they looked like security camera snapshots from an underground criminal compound, but it sure was cool to have a working camera in your Game Boy. Paired with the Game Boy Printer, you could print out little stickers of your favorite photos after doctoring them to be as silly as possible.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

Electronic Arts is reportedly considering using Unreal Engine for Mass Effect 5 instead of its own proprietary Frostbite Engine. An EA job listing for a technical director for the game appeared and states that the company is looking for candidates with experience working with Unreal.VentureBeat's Jeff Grubb has also confirmed through his own sources that EA is willing to explore every avenue when it comes to the technology for a new Mass Effect game. The primary reason for EA to stick with Frostbite is to save money, as the company would have to license Unreal from Epic Games.Additionally, it appears that EA wants to go all in on visual technology during this new generation. When full scale development for Mass Effect 5 reportedly starts in 2023, Frostbite could potentially be far behind Unreal in terms of capability. EA could also be simply looking at Unreal to see what Frostbite needs in order to achieve what it wants for Mass Effect 5.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

The synergy between character classes is one of the things that makes the battle against hordes of xenomorphs exciting in Aliens: Fireteam Elite. With the start of the game's first live content season, developer Cold Iron is adding a new brand of Marine to the battlefield: the Phalanx class.We got a chance to go hands-on with the Phalanx ahead of its release and see what it adds to your fireteam. As the name suggests, the Phalanx Marine sports a deployable shield that turns it into a front-line fighter, acting as your team's tank. The shield can block melee damage and incoming shots, allowing you to better survive some close encounters with both alien enemies and the synthetic soldiers that populate the campaign. It's a trooper that's great for drawing fire and attracting a crowd, so the rest of your three-player squad can avoid being overwhelmed and pick off enemies with a little more space to breathe.The Phalanx's primary ability is a shield you can toggle on and off, pulling it out to block damage and putting it away on your back--there's no cooldown on this thing. When you pull the shield out, it allows you to absorb attacks without getting hurt, so long as they're coming from in front of you. That incentivizes you to hold down chokepoints and wade into narrow corridors. As lead systems and combat designer Chris Matz explained, the shield is particularly great for taking on the synthetic enemies in Aliens: Fireteam Elite--the shield specifically makes it a lot easier to deal with gunfire, giving you the ability to be a little more mobile while fighting bad guys who shoot back.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com
