Our eyes are yet to open, to a remaster (Sony Interactive Entertainment)The Tuesday letters page doesnt think the God Of War series has many stories left to tell, as one reader wonders when Final Fantasy 17 will be announced.To join in with the discussions yourself email gamecentral@metro.co.ukPraise the old bloodJust to highlight a non trivial birthday, but it was the 10th anniversary of Bloodborne on Monday. Thats right, its been 10 years since the best PlayStation exclusive, which Sony has completely ignored ever since and barely seems to want to acknowledge exists.I did hold out a smidgen of hope that they might say something today but its 6pm and theres been nothing. Tweets about Indiana Jones and God Of War and a bunch of others but not a word about FromSoftwares greatest achievement.What is it with this game, that Sony wants to pretend it never happened? I know no-one here has the answer but its just baffling and I wish it would stop because I want the PlayStation 5 patch, I want a remaster, and eventually I want a remake.Although to be honest it doesnt really need a remake. Its still amazing to playthrough today and I highly recommend it to everyone. Welcome home, good hunter.LimptonGC: Happy birthday Bloodborne, we miss you.Made for Switch 2Thinking about what third party games might be announced during the Switch 2 Direct I wondered whether it was too early to hear about Final Fantasy 17 yet. Im sure the launch is a long way off, but it strikes me as the sort of thing Nintendo would be keen to promote as coming back to their consoles.Theyll probably just stick with ports of the Final Fantasy 7 remakes, but I wonder if the next mainline sequel will also be on Switch 2. We know Square Enix want things to be multiformat from now on, so Im sure itll be on PC and Xbox Series X/S, but will it be able to run on the Switch 2?If the Switch 2 cant run it, because its not powerful enough, would Square Enix simplify the game for all formats, in order to fit it on? If the Switch 2 is a runaway hit, and they have enough advance warning of that, its got to be possibility and one that a lot of fans wont like.PascalHors doeuvre DirectI find it hard to believe that Nintendo is going to have another Direct this week, just a week before one of the biggest events in their history. Surely theyd be worried that less clued-up people would assume this weeks was the big one and leave very confused, assuming its only about minor Switch 1 games.I can easily believe theyre going to port some old 3DS Kirby game but I find it harder to imagine that theyve got some fan service sequel to a forgotten series on the boil, much as Id love that to be true. I heard one person suggest it could be that Fire Emblem remake theyve apparently had ready to go for ages. That is believable too, but Fire Emblem is hardly a forgotten franchise. Maybe some wires got crossed and they just meant lower profile than Mario and Zelda.I dont really mind, as long as the Switch 2 reveal doesnt disappoint. Im hoping for a lot from next week.OnibeeEmail your comments to: gamecentral@metro.co.ukKart it offSpeaking of games that do or dont get cloned a lot, I agree it is interesting the seemingly random way publishers choose what to copy and what not to. Theres never any Animal Crossing or Zelda clones, and barely any Mario ones nowadays, but for a while there you couldnt move for Mario Kart clones.I know in theory they must be easier to make but only in theory. Apart from Crash Bandicoot and, to a degree, Sonic, which were made by proper developers, I cant think of any Mario Kart clones that were successful, simply because they never play as well as the real thing.Id say Im curious to know who Warner Bros. wouldve put in their cancelled one but Im going to guess it was the cast of MultiVersus. So Batman vs. Bugs Bunny vs. Arya Stark. Yeah, I can live without that.TrepsilsPhysically absentExcited to play Indiana Jones And The Great Circle on PlayStation 5 and very glad to hear that therell be a physical edition until you read about the internet connection stuff and it basically sounds like an empty disc, which is becoming sadly common nowadays.I know digital won out over physical long ago but were fooling ourselves if we think were buying physical copies for anything other than the box. The game is not on the disc, either literally its empty or it just wont work without additional downloads. If you want to buy a physical edition because you like to see it sitting on your shelf thats fine, I get that, but I think we have to accept that copies today are not preserving anything.ChekovSkip, grind, and completeJust wrapped up my playthrough of Starfield on PC and Ill be honest, I actually enjoyed the main story far more than if I actually explored every barren planet. Thats the secret to an enjoyable playthrough. Focus on the positive aspects of the game, such as the main story and the few worthwhile side quests; never waste a second on the procedurally generated planets. Theyre the worst part of the game and we all know it.Another negative was the companions. Sarah Morgan was my favourite character and I used her from the beginning to the very end and Ill also mention the mods helped me out a lot. From skipping the temple puzzles to the cheat room. It allowed me to skip any grind and complete the story in 28 hours. Ill say that I also very much loved the time I spent on Neon. You travel with Walter Stroud from Constellation and that stands out to me as a highlight.The loading screens are insidiously excessive but it stood as a factor for me to skip dogfights in space. I detest that element of the game, so it was a welcome addition for myself. But the greatest quest in my opinion, and what was truly a marvel, was Entangled. Taking a few cues from Stranger Things, phasing seamlessly between parallel universes and having to navigate between, a lab, and a nightmarish infested underbelly was a welcome surprise.Even Morrowind or Oblivion have never utilised such a complex and interesting narrative, intertwined with a shifting landscape. A memorable romp and infinitely better use of time than exploring a wasteland teeming with a few creatures and an outpost opportunity.Ill say that I played this title the right way. I never joined the United Colonies, the Crimson Fleet or the Freestar Rangers, because it may have soured my experience and the story pulled me in that way. So, in conclusion, I enjoyed my time with Starfield and though theres an opportunity to experience a parallel universe after the credits Ive shifted my interest to what Bethesda will serve us with The Elder Scrolls 6. A new engine is sorely needed and some fresh ideas, the first one is the use of Unreal Engine 5. Innovate Bethesda.Shahzaib SadiqThe Outlaws strikes backNow that Assassins Creed Shadows has been confirmed a hit, and will hopefully stabilise Ubisoft for a while, I really hope that they will consider making a Star Wars Outlaws 2. I know the game really underperformed but I have no idea why. I got it (admittedly at quite a bargain) and Ive loved it. Its the best open world Ive played in a long time, and you can see it is making an effort to avoid a lot of the tropes and flaws of earlier Ubisoft games.I really like the way skills are learnt and the graphics are great, with a good variety of different locations and enemies. The problems are that the combat and story are just fine, but they dont really bring it down. Kay is a bit of a nothing character as well, which is maybe why a lot of people didnt connect with it, but I really think its a great game even with the flaws.Sir SteveGodless worldWell have to see, if and when its announced, but Im not sure what is to be gained from another God Of War prequel set in Greece, unless its to retcon everything, including Kratos personality. I would actually kind of expect that at this point, but it seems a bad idea to me.On the other hand, going to Egypt, or wherever, and beating up on another pantheon of gods might start seem a bit redundant, but I dont feel the series has ever really address the idea of people not needing gods anymore and Kratos helping getting rid of them. I feel thats the underlying theme of whats going on, but nobody ever comes out and says it.Thats probably because, as many people have pointed out, there are no ordinary people in the Norse games. Which is strange because there are plenty in the Greek ones. If theres ever been an explanation for this Ive never heard it, but I think we need at least one game where a reformed Kratos helps ordinary mortals and sets out what he thinks should be the order of things.Beyond that though Im not really sure the character has anywhere else to go. The series has just had two great games, the last one left plenty of plot threads for a new game, and yet the franchise feels like it really hasnt got much left to say, beyond what Ive just written.A prequel always seems like a sign of a series running out of steam and I have trouble imagining this will be any different, especially after Ascension turned out so meh. Maybe Ill be wrong, but Im glad to hear that Santa Monica Studio is working on a new IP at the moment, as I think thats the best decision for them right now.ClampsInbox also-ransJust putting this out there but if the surprise final Switch 1 game is F-Zero then I am pre-ordering a Switch 2 the second its available. Do you hear me Nintendo?!MoistAtomfall was sounding pretty good up until I saw the price. Theres no way Im paying full price for what looks and sounds like an Xbox 360. At 30 to 40 it wouldve been fine, but Im sure itll reach that price pretty quick.TacleMore TrendingEmail your comments to: gamecentral@metro.co.ukThe small printNew Inbox updates appear every weekday morning, with special Hot Topic Inboxes at the weekend.

That little getaway in the woods sure would have been much less eventful if Ash Williams and his pals hadnt decided to read passages out of that creepy old book someone left behind. But were so glad they didthereby awakening the forces of darkness, sparking the events of The Evil Dead and its sequels, launching Bruce Campbell into the goofy action hero pantheon, and giving horror fans endless delights over the past 40-plus years. And now, you can own the actual prop that started it all! Well, that is, if you have $25,000 (to start), with an estimated final price of $50,000-$100,000, according to Propstore. The auction houses latest entertainment-centric memorabilia sale, which also includes Luke Skywalkers Medal of Yavin, is offering a screen-matched Naturom Demonto, aka Necronomicon Ex-Mortis, aka Book of the Dead, complete with hand-illustrated pages by special effects artist Tom Sullivan. He created the prop and is selling it from his own collection, so you know its authentic. (That said, it also comes with a letter of authenticity.) Whats not certain is whether or not the words contained within will do any actual Kandarian Demon conjuringbut whoever puts in the top bid can decide the fate of the world on their own time. Heres a look at the interior pages: Propstore Propstore Propstore Propstore Propstore Propstore Propstore Propstore Propstore According to Propstore, The Book of the Dead was featured in all three films of the original Evil Dead trilogy. It was referred to as the Naturom Demonto in The Evil Dead, but later as the Necronomicon Ex-Mortis in Evil Dead II and Army of Darkness. [Director Sam] Raimi changed the books name after Sullivan told him about the Necronomicon that famously appeared in horror and science-fictions writer H.P. Lovecrafts works, starting with the 1924 short story The Hound. This Naturom Demonto is the only Book of the Dead from the very first Evil Dead film known to survive today, and the only hero book ever created. In total you get the cover (cardboard, not actually human skin), with 38 pages of hand-illustrated pages. Propstore notes [Sullivans] main inspiration for the imagery [was] Leonardo Da Vincis notebooks on anatomy. For the ancient symbols, Sullivan devised his own alphabet that he humorously called Bullscrit.'Bidding for this very cool and genuinely spooky piece of horror history ends Wednesday, March 28; you can visit Propstore to find out how to get in on the auction.

This shallow water simulation is truly impressive, allowing you to recreate the Biblical flood myth as much as you want. As the developer behind BioGrid mentioned, water gradually erodes sand and soil, and the animals, with this strong vibe of that one classic god game, react to it as well. The animals are generally quite clever when it comes to water, apparently, they even remember the last water source they encountered and will try to return to it.Even this mechanic alone could keep many engaged for hours, but check out more of the latest development updates from BioGrid, a simulation game that blends ecology, evolution, and terraforming:This simulator looks as beautiful as it is promising, so follow the game page on X/Twitter to stay updated on its development and join our80 Level Talent platformand ournew Discord server, follow us onInstagram,Twitter,LinkedIn,Telegram,TikTok, andThreads,where we share breakdowns, the latest news, awesome artworks, and more.Source link The post Incredible Water Physics For Black & White-Style Sim Made With Unity appeared first on CG SHARES.

Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 is not known for being an easy game, especially at the beginning when Henry takes a beating and loses all his possessions. However, there are a few mechanics that could be a tad more punishing and realistic.

Undertale is probably one of the best games ever released, as it not only has a very entertaining gameplay and an interesting concept, but it has also spawned tons of different fan theories that many are still discussing to this day.

Cutiefly, the bee fly Pokmon from Alola, can be found in the wild in Pokmon Go. Yes, Cutiefly can be shiny in Pokmon Go!Neither Cutiefly nor Ribombee see any meta use, but the fact that theyre cute little guys makes up for this.What is the shiny rate for Cutiefly in Pokmon Go?As per old research by the now-defunct website The Silph Road (via Wayback Machine), the shiny rate for Pokmon on a regular day is approximately one in 500. Cutiefly is not a confirmed Pokmon that gets a permaboost (meaning that its a rare spawn and thus gets a boosted shiny rate).What can I do to attract more shiny Pokmon?Not much, unfortunately. It appears to be random chance. Shiny Pokmon catch rates are set by developer Niantic, and they are typically only boosted during special events like Community Days or Safari Zones, or in Legendary Raids. There are no consumable items that boost shiny Pokmon rates.Where can I find a list of available shiny Pokmon?LeekDuck keeps a list of currently available shiny Pokmon. Its a helpful visual guide that illustrates what all of the existing shiny Pokmon look like.For more tips, check out Polygons Pokmon Go guides.
