As a result of Australia refusing to classifyWe Happy Few, and this banning its sale in the region, develper Compulsion Games is scrambling to respond. They’ve noted that they’re “looking into it” and are appealing the decision, but in the meantime in addition to “sharing frustration,” the company is also looking into the whole refund thing — especially for Kickstarter backers....

We won’t get to play the new horror game from Silent Hill’s Toyama until at least 2023

Keiichiro Toyama ofSilent Hill,Siren, andGravity Rushfame hasa newly-formed studioand his team is working on a game with horror elements that should speak to “fans of [his] previous work.” Elaborating on whatwe already learnedabout Bokeh Game Studio’s first project, Toyama toldIGNthat the “action-adventure game” they’re making is “horror-oriented” but the developers “will focus on making this a broader entertainment experience, rather than a hardcore horror game.” Some of the body-horror concept art we’ve seen looks gnarly – as in, arguably too grisly for a “broader” audience – so I’m curious to see what this game’s tone is like....

Having taken a few years off after some disappointing and confusing entries, theAlienfranchise has finally returned with director Fede Álvarez’s Alien: Romulus, a film that certainly has its ups and downs and has even generated some division amongAlienenthusiasts since debuting on August 16....

Who do you have on your Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3 team?

Wolverine will always have a spot I wasn’t going to getMarvel Ultimate Alliance 3, at least not at launch.
