GDC Archives

That is an entirely accurate depiction of what the game is like, and while the combat might not have been completely tuned when I checked the game out at GDC (a few weapons seemed a tad over-powered), the feel of the game was solid and enjoyable. Part of that comes down to the game's controls and[...]

There's even a "Single-player Zombie mode, for when you just want me-time" though the game's GDC demo was just local multiplayer Which was pretty darn fun I could honestly see myself breaking this one out at a party, because of how easy it is to pick up The controls are limited to just a handful[...]

People actually managed to hit 1000+ MPH at GDC last week which my brain is still having some trouble processing I was not one of them Driving, as you may know, is not exactly my specialty in games Nor is jumping And Antigraviator has a bit of both involved Oh right, and trip mines, rockets, and[...]

There's no forced lockdown, its just that, with Serial Proof-of-Work, you can't run the mining process in parallel.

They're just harder to capture in a soundbite. And to prove I'm absolutely right, Strength in Numbers released a new trailer for the game a bit ahead of GDC which collected some pretty hilarious moments from various streams of the game. Kaet Must Die will release on April 5th on Steam, but the first 10 levels are[...]

In tests running live at GDC, SpatialOS was able to handle nearly 1500 players, with about 3000 AI, all at once Which is goddamn bonkers for an indie game. While Improbable has taken SpatialOS to GDC before, this year we just might here more about it After all, there was a whole info panel about the[...]

Its still in closed testing, but the game build Atari were showing off at GDC is fully playable,and looks polished So the version that launches should be pretty similar to what I got to play The game has three modes to appeal to the two very different types of gamers they're looking to pull into[...]

Perhaps the worst part of RollerCoaster Tycoon is the fact that you can't really experience your coasters. That's where RollerCoaster Tycoon Joyride comes in. Joyride lets you build and ride on your screaming metal deathtraps.

Llamasoft and Atari's Tempest 4000 is a brand new Tempest, but it looks and feels like the Tempest you know and love. Its got the same barebones design, same gameplay style, and even the same feel.

Unfortunately, we aren't talking about this one for good reasons. My Dream Interactive, along with co-host ClickUp, hosted a party at GDC this year which was supposed to get people interested in their cryptocurrency mining video game AllMine, but instead partiers were much more interested in the venue's VR experience Black Badge Outpost[...]

While the console probably won't be releasing anytime soon, Atari Connect COO Michael Arzt was on-site at GDC this week to answer questions about the console Granted, what he could say was relatively limited, but it did give us some idea of where things are in production "Delaying the release gave us a chance to go[...]
