    Feature | Forza Horizon 4's stunning tech upgrades - and how Xbox One X shines as lead platform

    DF visits Playground Games and tests the final game.

    The Forza Horizon franchise has carved its own path, veering away from Turn 10's mainline series with its emphasis on arcade racing set within a massive open world. The series' evolution has been a long but often spectacular journey - a vibrant racing celebration that's given Horizon its own distinct identity and in Forza Horizon 4, Playground Games aims for something even more special from a technical perspective - a game that builds substantially on the last entry's technical strengths and focuses on Xbox One X as lead platform.

    Feature | How Brigador sells an experience

    Mecha your dreams come true.

    Brigador's fantasy is simple. It wants you to feel like the coolest rogue and mech pilot that ever existed. Picture that game in your head and you might see a 3D cockpit with cutting-edge graphics or the sleek dashing of humanoid jet-like robots. Brigador has none of those things. It's an isometric, 2D game with a look that harkens back to the likes of Syndicate and Command & Conquer. Yet it so perfectly captures this fantasy. So if it's not about simulating the experience, what really matters in selling it?

  18. New Pokémon is mythical, called Meltan

    Over the past few days, Pokémon Go players have been intrigued and puzzled by the appearance of a new Pokémon during this month's Community Day event.

  20. Activision lawyers send Spyro fan game cease and desist

    You may recall that last week, Eurogamer reported on a promising and ambitious Spyro fan game called Spyro: Myths Awaken.

  22. When did we forget people - not brands - make games?

    Feature | When did we forget people - not brands - make games?

    Clementine will remember this.

    The downfall of Telltale, maker of The Walking Dead episodic series of games, sent shockwaves rippling through the video game industry. Over 200 people lost their jobs in one fell swoop. That's shocking enough, but here's the kicker: Telltale let these people go without giving them severance pay. This means hundreds of staff will struggle to pay rent, mortgages, or perhaps even feed their families. According to one former member of the team, some started at Telltale as recently as a week ago, and some of those people have children. At least one relocated across the country. The situation is heartbreaking.

  27. Nintendo fans are splicing Bowser with Peach and now Bowsette is trending

    Last week, a new item for New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe was unveiled which created a brand new character in Mario lore. The power-up, called the Super Crown, appears to transform Toadette into a Princess Peach fusion called Peachette - and understandably, many Nintendo fans were utterly flummoxed.
