Ten years ago this month, the retro side-scrolling action game Shovel Knight made its debut. To celebrate the anniversary, Yacht Club Games live-streamed an event that featured two big announcements. The first was a new definitive version of the game, Shovel Knight: Shovel of Hope DX. And the second piece of news was confirmation that a Shovel Knight sequel is also in development. Shovel of Hope DX is coming to Steam, and it features a number of enhancements that weren't present in the original Shovel Knight. To start, gamers can choose between 20 playable characters, from Shovel Knight and Shield Knight to their adversary, the Enchantress. Those aren't simply cosmetic changes, as each character has their own abilities and play styles. The game is also adding a rewind function, as well as 300 cheats that can be applied for a unique gameplay experience.Additionally, Shovel of Hope DX will include Challenge Stages, Custom Knight, and the Battle Ghost Arena, as well full Stereoscopic 3D. Online and local multiplayer options are also supported.Continue Reading at GameSpot (https://www.gamespot.com/articles/shovel-knight-sequel-and-shovel-of-hope-dx-are-on-the-way/1100-6524302/?ftag=CAD-01-10abi2f/)
A Quiet Place Game Finally Revealed And It Looks Terrifying
https://www.gamespot.com/articles/a-quiet-place-game-finally-revealed-and-it-looks-terrifying/1100-6524309/?ftag=CAD-01-10abi2f
Back in 2021, Saber Interactive announced it was making a video game based on the film series A Quiet Place (https://www.gamespot.com/articles/a-quiet-place-is-becoming-a-single-player-story-driven-horror-adventure-game/1100-6497384/), and now the game has been officially unveiled. A Quiet Place: The Road Ahead is a new atmospheric horror game from Stormind Games and Saber, and it's set for release in 2024.The eerie announcement trailer shows that the game follows the formula of the film series, which is that players must remain quiet to prevent the aliens from detecting them. The Road Ahead is set for release on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S later this year.The Road Ahead doesn't re-tell the story of A Quiet Place or A Quiet Place 2 (or the upcoming prequel Day One) but instead tells an original story inspired by the movie series. Players take on the role of a young survivor attempting to make their way through a very scary post-apocalyptic world.Continue Reading at GameSpot (https://www.gamespot.com/articles/a-quiet-place-game-finally-revealed-and-it-looks-terrifying/1100-6524309/?ftag=CAD-01-10abi2f/)

Todd Howard Discusses Next Fallout Game And How Bethesda Is In No Rush To Make It
https://www.gamespot.com/articles/todd-howard-discusses-next-fallout-game-and-how-bethesda-is-in-no-rush-to-make-it/1100-6524308/?ftag=CAD-01-10abi2f
With a well-received TV adaptation leading to a resurgence in popularity for Fallout video games, 2024 has been a pretty good year so far for Bethesda. Now that a second season of Fallout has been greenlit (https://www.gamespot.com/gallery/fallout-season-2-release-date-trailers-news/2900-5269/), the expectation for Fallout 5 (https://www.gamespot.com/articles/fallout-5-release-date-trailer-news/1100-6522412/) is higher than ever, but Bethesda's Todd Howard says that there are no plans to rush out a new mainline Fallout game just yet. Thanks to the ongoing popularity of Fallout 76--new DLC for the game has launched (https://www.gamespot.com/articles/fallout-76-skyline-valley-expansion-has-arrived-check-out-the-patch-notes/1100-6524268/)--the company plans to bring the franchise back in a more meaningful way. "For other Fallout games in the future, you know obviously I can't talk about those right now but I would say sort of rushing through them or we need to get stuff out that is different than the work we're doing in 76, you know we don't feel like we need to rush any of that you know right now," Howard said in an interview with MrMattyPlays. "The Fallout TV show fills a certain niche in terms of the franchise and storytelling. [I] totally get the desire for a new kind of mainline single-player game. Look, those things take time. I don't think it's bad for people to miss things. We just want to get it right and make sure that everything we're doing in a franchise, whether it's Elder Scrolls, Fallout, or Starfield, that those become meaningful moments for everybody who loved these franchises as much as we do."It's worth noting that new Fallout games are being planned (https://www.gamespot.com/articles/new-fallout-games-are-being-planned-todd-howard-says/1100-6523813/), but in a previous interview, Howard said that these will take a "good five-ish years" to still be made. Another fascinating tidbit from the interview was that Bethesda has no plans currently to bring the modernized versions of Fallout 1 and 2 to console, and looking to the stars, the company is planning to release annual expansions for Starfield that will answer some of the game's biggest mysteries.Continue Reading at GameSpot (https://www.gamespot.com/articles/todd-howard-discusses-next-fallout-game-and-how-bethesda-is-in-no-rush-to-make-it/1100-6524308/?ftag=CAD-01-10abi2f/)
The Elder Scrolls 6 Teaser Is Now 6 Years Old — and Even Todd Howard Paused to Say, ‘Oh Wow That Has Been a While’

Russell Crowe Shares Why He Refused To Be In The Lord Of The Rings
https://www.gamespot.com/articles/russell-crowe-shares-why-he-refused-to-be-in-the-lord-of-the-rings/1100-6524301/?ftag=CAD-01-10abi2f
Even before Russell Crowe won an Oscar for Best Actor for Gladiator, he was an in-demand performer near the turn of the century. That's right around the time when director Peter Jackson was putting together the cast for his Lord of the Rings trilogy. Crowe has mentioned before that he met with Jackson about playing Aragorn, but now he's revisiting the memory to explain why he passed on what could have been a role of a lifetime.While speaking with British GQ (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4tEz-Si5-VQ), Crowe insisted that he has no regrets about turning the part down. In fact, Crowe is convinced that Jackson never really wanted him at all."I very much felt the studio were making that decision, not the film director," said Crowe. "And I talked to Peter Jackson over the phone, and he wasn’t saying the sort of things that directors were saying to you if they were really trying to attract you to a project. And I just kind of got a sense that he already had somebody else in mind that he wanted to do. And me stepping forward and saying yes was actually going to get in his way."Continue Reading at GameSpot (https://www.gamespot.com/articles/russell-crowe-shares-why-he-refused-to-be-in-the-lord-of-the-rings/1100-6524301/?ftag=CAD-01-10abi2f/)
Sea of Thieves Was The Most Downloaded PS5 Game Of May
https://gameranx.com/updates/id/501342/article/sea-of-thieves-was-the-most-downloaded-ps5-game-of-may/
Sea of Thieves is doing great.
F1 24's most significant selling point is its new, reworked Driver Career mode. You can still play through this multi-season experience as a custom driver, but F1 24 now lets you strap into the helmet of one of the 20 superstar drivers on this season's grid. You may want to try and win Verstappen's fourth successive championship yourself or pick a younger driver like Yuki Tsunoda and earn your way onto one of the bigger teams in the sport. Not only this, but you can also opt to start as an F2 driver--beginning your career in either F2 or F1--and choose from a selection of legendary icons like Aryton Senna, Jacques Villeneuve, and errr… Pastor Maldonado. This isn't just a cosmetic change, either, because all previous stats and accolades carry over, including the number of successful podiums, race wins, championship victories, and so on. It's an enticing prospect being able to potentially win Michael Schumacher's record eighth world title or attempt to rebuild Williams back into a title contender with Senna behind the wheel.Your driver's reputation within the sport will grow as you achieve top-10 finishes, complete contract targets, and tick off more accolades. This can help you secure a new deal with your current team or attract the attention of rival teams, who will then start vying for your services. If this happens, you can agree to attend a secret meeting and negotiate a move or turn down the offer, with the whole thing emulating the sort of behind-closed-doors nature of sudden driver moves that occur in real life. If you opt to stay with your current team, they'll be pleased with your decision. This is nonsensical considering the meeting was supposed to be secret, but these covert rendezvous are a nice new addition nonetheless.Continue Reading at GameSpot (https://www.gamespot.com/reviews/f1-24-review/1900-6418242/?ftag=CAD-01-10abi2f/)

Lords Of The Fallen Sequel Announced But Probably Won't Be On Steam
https://www.gamespot.com/articles/lords-of-the-fallen-sequel-announced-but-probably-wont-be-on-steam/1100-6524313/?ftag=CAD-01-10abi2f
CI Games has announced that a sequel to Lords of the Fallen is currently in development, and it most likely will not be sold on Steam for its PC release.CI Games revealed (https://cigames.com/en/ci-games-se-28-2024-signing-of-binding-term-sheet-with-epic-games-inc/) that Epic Games has the exclusive distribution rights for the Lords of the Fallen sequel on PC for its entire product life cycle. However, the IP rights and publishing rights for other platforms, including PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S, remain with CI Games. The studio mentions that the game is due out in 2026 as well. The announcement refers to it as a sequel to Lords of the Fallen, so it may not actually be called "Lords of the Fallen 2."It's unclear if Epic is funding the game's development similar to how it did for Remedy's Alan Wake 2. It's currently an Epic Games Store exclusive and so far shows no signs of leaving the PC storefront for Steam (https://www.gamespot.com/articles/why-alan-wake-2-isnt-on-steam/1100-6518717/). Even if Epic isn't funding Lords of the Fallen 2's development, its publishing rights on PC suggest the game will follow the same route and be exclusive to the Epic Games Store.Continue Reading at GameSpot (https://www.gamespot.com/articles/lords-of-the-fallen-sequel-announced-but-probably-wont-be-on-steam/1100-6524313/?ftag=CAD-01-10abi2f/)

Fear The Spotlight Is A PS1-Style Survival-Horror Game Without The Survival
https://www.gamespot.com/articles/fear-the-spotlight-is-a-ps1-style-survival-horror-game-without-the-survival/1100-6524300/?ftag=CAD-01-10abi2f
Fear The Spotlight (https://www.gamespot.com/games/fear-the-spotlight/) starts like many good horror stories. A couple of friends--nerdy goody-goody Vivian and her goth pal Amy--sneak into school after-hours to perform a séance. The school has a creepy history, after all, thanks to a fire a few years earlier that claimed the lives of several students. It's a bit morbid and disrespectful to try to contact the spirits of a bunch of kids in the school library, but hey, teenagers are morbid and disrespectful.I played a short demo of Fear The Spotlight at Summer Game Fest 2024's Play Days event (https://www.gamespot.com/summer-game-fest-2024/), and at first, that was the thing that stuck with me most--at least, at first. Sneaking through the halls of the school and listening to conversations between protagonist Vivian and Amy, the whole thing felt pretty natural and realistic. Goth kid befriends nerd and the pair get into trouble together--I'm sure a lot of people have that exact backstory in their lives somewhere.Fear The Spotlight matches a 1990s teen horror story with a 1990s survival-horror aesthetic. The game calls up the look of early 3D games on the original PlayStation, most notably Silent Hill (https://www.gamespot.com/games/silent-hill/). The blocky, low-resolution visuals work well with the dark high school setting, giving the whole game a strange unreality that's perfect for a ghost story.Continue Reading at GameSpot (https://www.gamespot.com/articles/fear-the-spotlight-is-a-ps1-style-survival-horror-game-without-the-survival/1100-6524300/?ftag=CAD-01-10abi2f/)
F1 24 Review - Narrowly Misses Pole Position
https://www.gamespot.com/reviews/f1-24-review/1900-6418242/?ftag=CAD-01-10abi2f
The 2024 Formula One season is finally heating up. Max Verstappen will probably still win a fourth successive driver's championship after the final race in December, but at least the rest of the field is making life more taxing for the dominant Dutchman and his Red Bull team. Recent races have been more competitive and unpredictable, with multiple teams battling for first place in any given race weekend. It should be the perfect time for F1 24 to launch, but the same excitement generated by the real-life product doesn't quite apply to Codemaster's latest. It's still an excellent racing game, especially when you factor in an overhauled Driver Career mode, but its overt familiarity means there are fewer reasons than ever to upgrade if you own F1 23.
