Broken Roads will now mix Mad Max, Disco Elysium, and Baldur’s Gate in April release date after last year’s out-of-the-blue 5-month delay-
Aussie philoso-RPG Broken Roads is emerging from its state of koala-like hibernation with a new release date. After a lengthy delay, it’ll now arrive on April 10 this year, which so far as I can tell is a date with no relevance to Australia at all apart from being the birthday of lawn bowler Steve “Biscuits” Glasson. So it’s probably to coincide with that.
Once upon a time, Broken Roads was one of our most-anticipated games of 2023, and it was meant to hit on November 14 of that year. That went down the dunny after a last-minute delay that punted it into 2024.
As a wise man once said, “Late is just for a little while. Suck is forever,” so I can’t be too mad at the hold-up. Still, Broken Roads’ heady mix of highfalutin’ philosophy and a distinctly antipodean post-apocalypse is intensely intriguing to me, so I was a bit put out to hear I’d have to wait even longer to get my hands on it properly. It felt a bit like the CRPG renaissance of the last few years…

It looks like Counter-Strike 2 will cancel matches immediately if Valve detects a cheater-
If you haven’t been playing CS:GO for 11 years, you might’ve struggled to see what all the fuss was about when Valve announced Counter-Strike 2 this week. Yes, the maps are prettier on Source 2 and apparently the smoke grenades are a lot smokier, but it is essentially the same game with a bunch of nice upgrades. Based on info datamined from the Counter-Strike 2 closed test happening now, one of those upgrades might be a new way to stop cheaters before they can ruin a whole match.
As noticed by Twitter user Aquarius, Counter-Strike 2’s code mentions a feature called VAC Live that can cancel an in-progress match if a cheater is detected.
“This match has been cancelled by VAC Live,” the code reads.
Cool. If you’ve ever encountered a blatant cheater in your favorite shooters, you know how demoralizing it can be to put up with one for an entire 30-minute match. You can’t leave or you get punished, so you just have to play out the whole match and hope the anticheat…
Konami releases David Hayter-fronted video series about Metal Gear’s incredible legacy, doesn’t mention Metal Gear creator, director, and writer Hideo Kojima once-
Konami has released the first video in what it’s calling the Metal Gear Solid Legacy Series, companion videos to Metal Gear Solid: The Master Collection that offer a shorthand history lesson of the games’ extensive lore. The opening video is six minutes long and presented by David Hayter, the voice actor of Solid Snake and Big Boss in Metal Gear Solids 1-4, and in its script does not mention Hideo Kojima once.
We’ll get into why in a moment, but even for Konami this is absurd. Hideo Kojima took over an existing Konami project for the MSX2 in 1987 and, realising the machine’s capabilities limited what could be shown on-screen, hit upon the idea of a game where avoiding conflict was the goal (for the most part). The first two top-down games have nowhere near the sophistication of what was to come, but they do have an abundance of ideas (the cardboard box, smoking, guided missiles, varied patrol routes, codecs) that remained at the heart of the series.
To be clear, these ga…
It turns out you can find Idris Elba’s Cyberpunk 2077 character hanging out and working a regular job in Night City before you start the expansion-
CD Projekt Red always brings a special attention to detail in its games: I remember my shock at learning about the Witcher 3 easter egg that takes seven in-game years to find. That same sensibility definitely holds strong in Cyberpunk 2077, where you can actually find Idris Elba’s character, Solomon Reed—who was added to the game in the Phantom Liberty expansion—tucked away in Night City minding his own business before you start Phantom Liberty’s main quest.
Madd Gamer on YouTube shared a video of the encounter late last year. In an early conversation with Reed, the New United States superspy tells off his boss over the phone before explaining that he has a day job as a bouncer to help keep cover. A neat enough little character detail, but you can actually be (almost) bounced by Reed before you even know who he is.
Reed’s not even terribly far off the beaten path either: the bar he works at also serves as the home base of fixer (read: questgiver) Dino Dinovic…
Overeager Starfield fans are collaging starships with trailer cutouts and photoshop-
The latest trend among Starfield hopefuls appears to be ship kitbashing, as one very determined fan is passing the time by carving out ship parts from trailer footage and reassembling them in photoshop.
In this thread, user __ass writes: “I separated each individual module from screenshots to put together this ship,” which they have lovingly christened the “__Ass Fleet Ranger”. It’s a pretty convincing fake all told, one that had me double-taking and wondering if Bethesda had released a ship builder early.
The same user has also strapped together a mini fleet of vessels, as well as the Millennium Falcon from Star Wars.
The response to these nifty constructions has been pretty positive, with user sinjiitachimora commenting: “I wish we had a ship builder to mess around with until September, but these posts are getting me by, fantastic work.”
Granted, Todd Howard did reveal that ship building is a late-game activity in a podcast with Kinda Funny Games a co…
‘Britain’s Bill Gates’ among 6 missing after luxury yacht tragedy off coast of Sicily- ‘We should have found something by now’-
The British entrepreneur Mike Lynch is among six people missing after a luxury yacht sank off the coast of Sicily during a storm. The Guardian reports that 22 people were onboard when the vessel sank, of whom 15 have been rescued by the Italian coastguard and firefighters, including a one year-old child, while one person has died.
Lynch and his 18 year-old daughter Hannah are among three Britons that remain missing, while his wife, Angela Bacares, has been rescued. Two Americans and a Canadian are also missing.
A statement from the Italian coastguard reads: “This morning at about 5:00 am, following a violent storm, a 56-metre yacht called Bayesian flying the British flag sank near Porticello.”
Local reports said the boat sank after being hit by a waterspout, a mix of wind and water that can form in storms and is often referred to as a mini-tornado. The BBC reports that fishers saw the waterspout off the coast at around 3:55 am local time, and sh…
Phantom Blade Zero devs say its interconnected world is ‘like the Souls games before Elden Ring’—which has turned my interest into attention-
Described by PC Gamer’s own Richard Stanton as “Sekiro on a drunken night out”, Phantom Blade Zero looks pretty dang intriguing. Developed by S-Game (and making its debut in the PlayStation Showcase last year) Phantom Blade Zero does indeed look absolutely slammed with high-octane nonsense—and I mean this affectionately. I like nonsense a lot.
Its jet fuel combat had my interest, but a recent interview by our friends at GamesRadar with director “Soulframe” Liang doubles down on a similar sentiment shared in a PlayStation blog last year, and that has my attention: “It’s just like the old Souls games … You move around and explore in a seamless map, it’s just not a huge open-world map. But every region is connected together seamlessly.”
As someone very publicly on-record about my general malaise surrounding Elden Ring’s open world—a feature executed beautifully, but which constantly lies at-odds with the game’s other strengths—this has me v…
Prince of Persia- The Lost Crown system requirements are pleasingly low-
If you’re used to looking at system requirements with a feeling of “am I going to have to replace my GPU already” dread, you’ll be happy to know that Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown won’t demand a high-end rig. That cartoony art style was never going to be a real resource hog, but it’s still nice to see system requirements where ultra isn’t out of reach. You’ll probably be able to run this one on a laptop.
Each tier of system requirements for Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown targets a minimum of 60 fps, though Ubisoft notes it can go above 120 fps if you’ve got the hardware for it. To hit ultra on a 4K monitor you’ll only need a GTX 1060 with 6GB of VRAM. What’s more, it’ll only take up 30GB of hard drive space and doesn’t demand an SSD, which is becoming a rare thing these days.
“I know it’s not exactly the Prince of Persia fans have come to expect,” Mollie Taylor wrote after a hands-on with The Lost Crown last year, “especially with the hotly-anticipated Sands of Time…
