The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt is widely regarded as one of the best games of the last generation, and we all know the reason why: the bathtub scene. The iconic scene in which the hero, Geralt of Rivia, relaxes with some suds was imitated in the Netflix series, but fans were left to wonder: What if this game had been released on PS1?Well wonder no more. YouTuber Anders Lundbjörk remade the classic scene in the PS1 style, from the roaring fire to his gray ponytail to angering Yennifer. It is extremely silly.Geralt's mouth movements seem a little advanced for the PS1 era, when the likes of Solid Snake would just be static models during voiced cutscenes. But it's a look at how the game could have looked, more-or-less.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

Grand Theft Auto 3 and Vice City have been reverse-engineered on PC by a team of modders and programmers. The two early entries in the series were the games that first made GTA into a household name, but the PC versions aren't easily playable on modern machines without substantial modifications.That's finally changed, thanks to the team behind "re3" and "reVC." You can't experience the mods without a PC copy of GTA 3 or Vice City, but if you have them, it's quite impressive work. (You can find both on Steam.) Both projects add some much-needed features to these games, including native support for widescreen resolutions, improved effects from the PS2 versions, and debug menus. Re3 also includes a map of Liberty City in the pause menu, which, believe it or not, was actually missing from all versions of GTA 3. Definitely make sure to switch the controls to "classic," unless you like strafing with an analog stick.The combined project has reverse-engineered the two games, meaning that it'll be far easier for hobbyists to craft interesting mods for the early GTA entries in the future. Based on the GitHub repository, it looks like the team is also tackling the PSP side-story Liberty City Stories, which uses the same map as GTA 3, though there's no word on when that'll be available. In other GTA news, Take-Two's CEO recently said that single-player is not dead, despite the obvious popularity of multiplayer games. We also recently got word that GTA 5 has sold more than 140 million copies, further cementing its place as one of the best-selling games of all time.Info from Gamespot.com

The once-dead, now-revived tactical first-person shooter Six Days in Fallujah has been embroiled in controversy since its inception for depicting a deadly battle during the Iraq War. Now, Publisher Victura is again defending its embattled title, saying developer Highwire Games is "not trying to make a political commentary" about the conflict.In an interview with Polygon, Victura head Peter Tamte said that the purpose of Six Days in Fallujah is to highlight "the complexity of urban combat" by putting players in the shoes of real-life Marine soldiers who must contend with the decisions made by people in power."For us as a team, it is really about helping players understand the complexity of urban combat," Tamte said. "It's about the experiences of that individual that is now there because of political decisions. And we do want to show how choices that are made by policymakers affect the choices that [a Marine] needs to make on the battlefield. Just as that [Marine] cannot second-guess the choices by the policymakers, we're not trying to make a political commentary about whether or not the war itself was a good or a bad idea."Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

If you were somehow emotionally attached to Disc Room's stated setting of 2089, we've got bad news for you. Jan Willem Nijman, a developer of the indie action game, recently revealed that the year in the game's intro automatically updates to be 69 years in the future. That means that players who start the game this year will see the following crawl instead.now that it's 2021, I can safely spoil that Disc Room will always be Set In The Future. It used to be set in 2089, but just so that our ancestors don't have to deal with the whole "this is the year disc room was set in" drama we add an extra year whenever necessary. pic.twitter.com/HKdZT2yL4U — Jan Willem Nijman (@jwaaaap) February 11, 2021"Now that it's 2021, I can safely spoil that Disc Room will always be Set In The Future," Nijman wrote. "It used to be set in 2089, but just so that our ancestors don't have to deal with the whole 'this is the year Disc Room was set in' drama, we add an extra year whenever necessary."While this is a silly joke based on an internet meme, it's also a surprisingly common problem, especially in sci-fi media. Many of the classics of the genre are set in a future date that is now the recent past. For example, the original Blade Runner was set in November 2019.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

PC hardware manufacturer NZXT has officially started recalling all its H1 PC Chassis after it failed to adequately address a design flaw that posed a fire hazard.The H1, which strongly resembles the design of the Xbox Series X, features a PCIe riser for GPUs to fit in the space-constrained design. This riser features two screws that don't feature enough clearance, meaning they could potentially short a 12V power rail on the connecting PCB. NZXT attempt to solve this issue by shipping nylon screws to H1 customers to prevent the short, but the company has acknowledged that it failed to resolve the core issue at hand.In a statement on the recall, NZXT CEO Johnny Hou apologized for the design oversight, promising to improve QA processes moving forward.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

Gina Carano has been fired by LucasFilm after yet another "social media scandal," if one can define "social media scandal" as very deliberately posting blatant anti-Semitism on a public account, including a meme comparing experiencing any sort of pushback on her own conservative politics to being Jewish and living in Nazi Germany. These posts were just the latest in a long line of public aggressions, both micro and macro, from Carano, who has had a long history of making deeply inappropriate and downright offensive posts against vulnerable minorities, and then immediately falling into defensive self-victimization: It's not the groups she's mocking or blatantly attacking that are being hurt by her actions, it's her, and actually, the people reacting to her posts in a negative way are the real bullies here.If this sounds familiar, it should. By now, we all know the words to this song.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

The Tom Cruise action movies Mission: Impossible 7 and 8 were expected to film back-to-back but film studio Paramount has changed plans and will now shoot the sequel later.Mission: Impossible 7 is wrapping up its shoot now, but Cruise has obligations to do press for Top Gun: Maverick, so he will be unavailable to film Mission: Impossible 8 until later, according to Deadline's sources.

Game developer Josef Fares, who is known for boldly and passionately sharing his opinions, has now spoken up about how people don't finish games. In short, he doesn't like that the data generally shows that people start games but don't finish them.In an interview with Game Informer, Fares said he was told that about 51% of people who played his previous game, A Way Out, actually finished it. He was informed that this was a very good percentage, but it's not good enough for Fares."It actually it saddens me," he said. "That means that 49 percent of people didn't finish it. It's not something I should be happy about. We need to fix the problem that people are not even finishing our games. People are not even finishing the games."Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

A writer at WB Games Montreal, the team working on Gotham Knights, said that the open-world action-RPG will have a "very fresh, unique take" on the familiar Batman game structure.In a brief interview with the Las Vegas Review Journal, narrative designer and writer Mitch Dyer said that Gotham Knights' focus on characters other than Batman makes the game more approachable. In turn, this should give the game an engaging feel that's "fresh" and "unique.""Shifting the focus to be about these characters in the aftermath of this pivotal death that is important to all of them, the framework of this story is unique," Dyer said. "Having this very fresh, unique take on the DC Universe makes it approachable and engaging in a way that is instantly gratifying to me."Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com
