Watch out! EA claim to have created "the most dangerous ring in gaming" for Battlefield 6's battle royale, and they won't stop waving their lethal hoop around in a post that runs down the mode's features ahead of its first Labs playtest. Prior to now, all we've gotten battle royale-wise have been teases, with the devs busy seeking feedback on the shooter's more standard multiplayer bits during the recent open beta. Oh, and showing off their campaign's rampant helicopter destruction, lest we f...| Rock Paper Shotgun Latest Articles Feed

The rotten tomatoes doth fly towards its bonce, and the resulting juice has turned its Steam reviews a mostly negative shade of crimson. Read more| Rock Paper Shotgun Latest Articles Feed
In my experience, there are two kinds of tank in Battlefield games. There are the ones driven by other people, which are cut from solid granite yet move like ballet dancers. And then there are the ones driven by me, which are made out of candy floss and handle like shopping trolleys. Possibly, this reflects some kind of underlying "skill issue", but come now, that's speculative reporting that flies in the face of logic. Clearly it's a balancing issue. Here's Battlefield 6 lead producer David ...| Rock Paper Shotgun Latest Articles Feed
For most of his game-making career, Australian developer dweedes has projected an image of cheeky, punkish rebellion. His website WET GAMIN has accumulated a trove of experimental games over the last decade: short works by various freeware developers that exemplify a scribbly, DIY spirit. Now, making and selling games on Steam under his studio Nonsense Machine, dweedes finds himself in the position of stepping up his commercial and craft ambitions while trying to stay true to his anti-corpora...| Rock Paper Shotgun Latest Articles Feed
My first memory is of ants. Just ants. It's one of those very early ones that are nothing but a momentary snapshot now, long since worn with use and subconsciously filled in with probably inaccurate details and context. They were moving around on a white doorframe, and I don't remember the surroundings, or what I was doing, what I did with this observation, or whether anyone even told me what ants are or whether I already knew. But I remember a fascination that never left me. I will, as ever,...| Rock Paper Shotgun Latest Articles Feed

Edmund McMillen and Tyler Glaiel's funky cat breeder Mewgenics has meandered back into the kitchen and emitted the first in a series of informative meows that'll build up to its release next year. McMillen has revealed that "all the big important bits" are now sorted, and to celebrate, has released a 50 minute-long video playthrough. Mewgenics has been in development for a while, but efforts to finally have it emerge from the carrier have really begun to click into place this year.

Stardew Valley will get at least one more significant game update, says Eric "ConcernedApe" Barone, mere months after stating that he doesn't "want to just be the Stardew Valley guy." It'll be called update 1.7, and the trimness of the numbering implies that it'll be a large one. For context, Stardew Valley update 1.6 brought eight player PC co-op, new crops, a lot more NPC dialogue, a mastery system, new pets, and the ability to give those pets hats (which caused a few problems).
