Garry Newman, the mastermind developer behind Garry’s Mod, has “finally” achieved one of the beloved sandbox game’s rarest feats – he has played the game as himself, with himself.Garry’s Mod has long stood the test of time as one of Facepunch Studios and Valve’s greatest hits, but there’s one achievement that most players will never unlock (legitimately, anyway). That’s to “play on the same server as Garry” – AKA, creator Garry Newman, who apparently didn’t have the rare achievement himself until now. “Finally got this,” he writes in a post with a screenshot of the newly unlocked “Yes, I am the real Garry!” achievement.Finally got this pic.twitter.com/RKNOQAmzj1October 11, 2024As a player myself, I’m not sure how any of that would work – but it’s somehow wonderfully hilarious, and the comments under Newman’s post are just as amusing. “Congrats, I’m jealous you could meet the one and only,” reads one. “How many attempts did it take?” Another jokingly calls the situation “impossible,” wi…

Super Smash Bros Ultimate and Kirby creator Masahiro Sakurai says sorry to the players who have spent thousands of hours in his games.The apology comes courtesy of the famed director’s most recent Creating Games episode, in which he reconciles with the idea that a game’s playtime is basically a cost that players need to weigh. “Play time – especially how it’s conceived before starting a game – is better thought of as a cost of sorts,” he explains. “In the modern world, you’re constantly competing with everything else,” Sakurai continues. “It’s a battle for people’s time. Even if someone has lots of free time on their hands, that means something different now than it did in the past. There are always things to do. The question is: how do people choose to spend the time?”

The PS5 Pro is launching this November for the low, low price of $700 – and Sony has shown what the souped up console can do by updating some of its back catalogue.During the PS5 Pro Technical presentation below, lead architect Mark Cerny began by demoing The Last of Us Part 2 running on the upcoming console. “It has huge amounts of detail and targets a super smooth 60 frames per second,” he said, while Ellie runs through an overgrown city. The same scene is then shown running on a normal PS5 at 30fps, which Cerny reckons is “therefore much choppier.”

Cerny then shows how Sony has reached “this goal of delivering almost fidelity-like graphics and performance frame rate” by doing the same side-by-side comparisons for Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 and Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart. “We can see that the PS5 Pro is close to doubling the power of the PlayStation 5,” Cerny continues as dual-screened Ratchet causes some m…

Video game combat has a lot of components that need to work in tandem for players to feel the satisfaction of a visceral hit, and that’s why Indiana Jones and the Great Circle developer MachineGames has set out to ensure that everything comes together to make the fist-fighting feel impactful.Speaking to Edge magazine, design director Jens Andersson recalls how the team at MachineGames worked on first-person fist-fighting 20 years ago. “This isn’t the first time this team has entered the arena of first-person fist-fighting. Back when the foundational core of MachineGames worked at Starbreeze, they won acclaim doing the same with The Chronicles of Riddick: Escape from Butcher Bay.” He goes on to say “It’s really hard.” Harder than they felt it should have been, in fact. “We’ve done this before – we should know how to do it.” Yet in the two decades since that game, “the bar has been raised considerably.”Technology has evolved rapidly in the two decades since MachineGames attempted th…

MMOs and private servers go together like peanut butter and legally questionable jelly, and few MMOs can match RuneScape, now the resurrected and retrofitted Old School RuneScape, for the sheer volume and variety of unofficial fan-made variants. These “private servers” usually boiled down to a much faster way to obtain rare items and high levels compared to the actual game, but they came in all shapes and sizes, from imbalanced PvP badlands that had worse economies than the 1930s, to serious role-playing and quest hubs that were legitimately thoughtfully designed. The most iconic RuneScape private server may be Moparscape, its 2000s-tinged black-and-white launch screen ingrained in the minds of countless OSRS players. If I shut my eyes, I can still see the car. But we may see a new server claim the throne in the years ahead, because OSRS developer Jagex has just revealed official “community servers” under the banner of Project Zanaris, which would give the MMO’s player base “full …
