Morrowind modders continue to astound, add object physics with 'pure lua' to a 23-year old game

OpenMWLuaPhysics is a "simple and naive physics engine in pure lua" that produces "Half-Life 1 level of physics, maybe a bit better" Seeing bottles clink around in Vvardenfell is enough to make me feel like I've been hucked into another universe where Bethesda figured out its famous physics shenanigans a few years early. 🖋️🤖

Colony building sim Mountaincore is now free to play and open source

A complicated history for this one, with the developer Rocket Jump Technology no longer existing as a business. The previous iteration of the game named King under the Mountain went open source back in January 2024, and now what was to be the big revamp is also open source. The publisher eventually backed out, but allowed the developer to continue with the funded work and still release it. Having both versions of the game now open source is a great outcome though, another big project for people to learn from and perhaps continue elsewhere.

Pushing Buttons: Is there even any point in making more powerful games consoles?

Last week, my favoured gaming news site, VGC, asked former US PlayStation boss Shawn Layden whether he thought the pursuit of more powerful consoles was still the way to go for the video games industry. I am the least technically minded games journalist I know, and have often felt as if I was in the minority. To me, games started looking pretty great about 15 years ago and most of the improvement I’ve seen since then has felt incremental. The chief technological innovation of the last 15 years in games has been VR, and that turned out to have niche appeal. Also, I hear the Guardian has a very good online games section – you should check it out some time. 🖊️️🤖

Classic JRPG Remake Trails in the Sky 1st Chapter Confirms New Script That 'Honors the Original Japanese Text'

Trails in the Sky 1st Chapter looks like a ridiculously cool remake based on everything we've seen of it so far — but some fans have long wondered whether the game will simply reuse the old localisation from when Trails in the Sky was originally brought overseas by publisher Xseed Games. As it turns out, 1st Chapter will feature a newly localised script, as per the official pre-order information from remake publisher GungHo Online Entertainment. The thing is, the old game's English script has, at times, been accused of being an inaccurate representation of the original Japanese writing. It's not what we'd call a popular complaint — we happen to think the Sky games have a largely charming localisation — but it'll be interesting to see how this reworked script compares. Indeed, GungHo specifically states: "Trails in the Sky 1st Chapter features a new localization, ensuring an authentic and engaging experience that honors the original Japanese text." 🖊️️🤖

Steam's Latest Client Update Introduces Many Refinements for Linux

Steam has been a notable backer of gaming in Linux thanks to their Arch-powered SteamOS and Wine-based Proton compatibility layer. The Linux app now features improved client update download speeds and a fix for a bug where non-Steam versions of Proton were being assigned the wrong compatibility tools. Users of Fedora can follow our guide to get it installed. 🖋️🤖

Ubisoft argues players don't own their games in wake of The Crew lawsuit

The Crew is an online-only title, and once Ubisoft deactivated its servers, launching the game merely starts a restricted demo version. Two California plaintiffs filed suit against Ubisoft last year after the company shut down servers for The Crew. The case has sparked renewed calls for legislation to protect players when games reach end-of-life status. 🖋️🤖

Populous: The Beginning

Whereas previous Populous games were god games where players assumed the role of a god with terrain-altering abilities, Populous: The Beginning adopts elements of real-time strategy games.

Nier Automata is widely regarded as one of the finest action games in recent years thanks to its compelling gameplay and deceptively deep storytelling. PlayStation vet Shuhei Yoshida said that it effectively reversed the Japanese game industry's fortunes after years of struggle during the late 2000s and early 2010s when it tried to appeal to Western tastes. 🖋️🤖

Every Age of Empires Game Ranked, From Worst To Best

Age of Empires II: Age of Kings was the first game I have ever played on PC, so it’s no wonder this series has a special place in my heart. In this article, I’ll take a look at every Age of Empires game (Age of Mythology included), ranking them from worst to best, and exploring how each one contributed to the evolution of the series. What Age of Empires: Mobile truly is, is Return to Empire, a mobile game from 2020 with an Age of Empires II skin. Age of Empires III: Definitive EditionAge of Empires II was (and still is) a genre-defining game that surpassed every other RTS at the time it came out. Personally, I think that as soon as Age of Empires II came out, the original Age of Empires was immediately outdated in almost every aspect, bar one: it’s ancient setting and the civilizations it allowed you to take control of. 🖊️️🤖

The lore reminds me of Warcraft, and the gameplay feels as if Diablo was shrunken down into a book Each book will feature 2 to 3 Acts, in each act, you'll have a number of quests. Cons- Book 1 is not bad, but it doesn't represent what the series has become. This book was created to be an accessible entry into Gamebooks. It might also add to the replayability of the book Each book represents a location on the world map and everything can become interconnected. Nothing in this book is complex, everything is very simple, but, well crafted. I'll also update the list below with more books as I find them 🖊️️🤖

Steam's new disclaimer reminds everyone that you don't actually own your games, GOG moves in for the killshot: Its offline installers 'cannot be taken away from you'

Steam has apparently made a change to its shopping cart page in the form of a new message. It very clearly lays out to one and all that you're not buying a game—you're buying a license. The change follows on the heels of Valve modifying its subscriber agreement last month. 🖋️

“Minetest” is no more; the “Minecraft clone” is no more. Welcome 🥁 … Luanti! Luanti will always be free software, but that core principle is not everything it has to offer. Luanti is a lot of things. Luanti is a platform that is built to help you create. Obviously, all the repositories and community hubs will adopt the Luanti name in some form. Otherwise, Luanti now represents the future of the platform. Rather than rename all the namespaces to luanti, core will be the official namespace to use. 🖊️

The Brief History of Motion Sensor Aiming in Video Games

Let’s call this: “Motion Aiming” Shortly after, Nintendo released Metroid Prime 3: Corruption. until Nintendo decided to add a gyro sensor inside the controller You can jiggy the Sack-person’s booty via Motion Sensors In this mode, you can look around from Link's perspective, and motion aiming is back. One is moving the body, the other is aiming where you’re shooting. But, Breath of the Wild is where most people got introduced to Motion Aiming In the process, “Motion Aiming” got a new name: “Gyro Aiming” (also, ‘Intu-Aiming’ was merged). Future KEX Engine games after DOOM 64 added Gyro Aiming support ever since But The Last of Us kinda works but Aim Assist is in use, and Gyro Aiming doesn’t like Aim Assist 🖊️

California will soon require storefronts to make clear that purchasing digital content, including games, does not mean you actually own it. Terms such as "buy" and "purchase" will be banned from the sale process unless sufficient caveats are added. New legislation, AB 2426, is designed to make consumers more aware of the sometimes-temporary nature of digital ownership. 🖋️

Based on our testing, it indeed does happen. It seems players will see will be different based on each game. So it can be an ad for one game, and maybe a news bit for another one. While this is a first-party feature from the company, it is still an ad. Update (Sept.30): Sony has announced that this was apparently a “bug” and has since been resolved. A tech error with the Official News feature on the PS5 console has since been resolved. There have been no changes to the way game news is displayed on PS5. 🖊️

Linux Scores A Surprising Gaming Victory Against Windows 11

It felt like the perfect opportunity to test how a handful of games ran on Windows 11 and Fedora 40. The Framework 13 running Fedora 40. On Fedora 40, I ran a system update before testing. Let’s kick things off with two games that have native versions for both Windows and Linux. Linux is rocking the Vulkan API, and Windows is utilizing DX12. Indeed, Fedora 40 pulls off 7% higher average framerates. Without FSR scaling enabled, Fedora 40 eeks out a 3% performance advantage. A 7% performance deficit with the overhead of running Proton? 🖊️
