MyGaming's Tarryn van der Byl asks just how important is it for developers to take responsibility for the way they portray certain groups in games.
Is it OK to play at killing people with a character model skinned in a US marine uniform, but not an Al-Queda soldier?
Games Asylum: "Well, this is neat. As the name suggests, Wrath of the Mutants is the rarest of things – a genuine arcade conversion. With most modern arcade games being ticket redemption machines, this is something seldom seen. In fact, the last arcade conversion we can recall was Raw Thrill’s own Cruis’n’ Blast on Switch back in 2021. This is also based on an older iteration of TMNT, harking back to the series from 2012-2017. It’s essentially breaking franchise continuity (we’ve had two different iterations of the Turtles since) and could even be considered nostalgic for a select few – those who grew up with 2012’s Turtles are probably in their late teens."
Fuse ARPG, Soulslike, and cozy crafting mechanics for a one-of-a-kind adventure. Here is The Nerd Stash's early impressions of No Rest for the Wicked.
Starship Troopers: Extermination is continuing its early access period with a class system overhaul that will give players more options when it comes to pushing back the bugs.
It must be frustrating for these devs to see Helldivers 2 absolutely devour their lunch lol
-Oh my God, this game looks like a complete rip-off of Helldivers II!
-At least it gives Xbox players the chance to experience something similar to the PlayStation game!
Jokes aside it does make you wonder why Sony, who owns the IP for both, is continuing with two products when there is such overlap. Should it one day make a new Starship Troopers film or a Helldivers film instead?
A little to late to ask that question perhaps?
it's a poignant discussion. Definitely worth reassessing as the human race.
i dont care. Love shooting everybody
as long as it isn't the russians i don't care... Lately modern warefare games like BFBC and COD MW have sorta focused on the Russians being the big bad guy which irritated me because fighting them is very unlikely in 2days political climate..... I don't see as playing as al qaeda as a playable side is such a big deal. It is only a game remember nothing more.....This is like when Politicians claim violent games make people kill other people which is doesn't they are just mental unstable anyway before they played the game
Yes, we all play games for a realistic commentary on likely warfare scenarios that could emerge from today's political climate...
