Title: Today's Games Can Feel "Soulless," But Can Punch The Monkey Change That? Date: Sat, 14 Mar 2026 08:29:00 -0700 Link: https://www.gamespot.com/articles/todays-games-can-feel-soulless-but-can-punch-the-monkey-change-that/1100-6538667/?ftag=CAD-01-10abi2f Punch the monkey, an adorable macaque born last July in Japan, captured the world's attention recently. He was abandoned by his mother and rejected by his community, only to find solace and comfort in a $20 orangutan plush toy from IKEA. His story tugged on the heartstrings of people worldwide who felt bad for the little guy and wanted him to find companionship.He eventually did, and Punch's prospects are seemingly better now. But Punch still lives in a zoo--the Ichikawa City Zoo--and that's not sitting well with everyone. A new video game, Zoo Fighter, has players taking on the role of Punch and ... punching bullies away with his fist or a swift kick. Knock out 100 and Punch gets to go to a sanctuary, instead of a zoo. And that's the point of the video game."This game is a love letter to all animals doing a bid at the zoo. Animal sanctuaries are often better for primates than zoos because they put the animals' well-being first instead of public display," reads a line from the game's description. "They offer larger, more natural spaces and rescue animals from neglect or captivity rather than breeding them," the description goes on. "The focus is on lifelong care and less human interferecne, giving primates a safer, less stressful place to live."Continue Reading at GameSpot

Title: Donkey Kong Bananza Began As A Goomba With Giant Fists Date: Fri, 13 Mar 2026 11:50:00 -0700 Link: https://www.gamespot.com/articles/donkey-kong-bananza-began-as-a-goomba-with-giant-fists/1100-6538789/?ftag=CAD-01-10abi2f Nintendo loves to build on what it has already created. Donkey Kong Bananza, a game that mixes 3D platforming with freeform destruction, began as a prototype that built on ideas featured in Super Mario Odyssey, and the prototype featured a Goomba with giant fists.Super Mario Odyssey’s Luncheon Kingdom, among other areas, featured breakable structures scattered throughout the environment. These objects could be smashed into pieces using many of the special abilities Cappy gave Mario. Nintendo producer Kenta Motokura and programmer Tatsuya Kurihara explained how that mechanic eventually helped inspire the creation of Donkey Kong Bananza during a talk at the Game Developers Conference in San Francisco this week.After Odyssey was complete, Kurihara put together a simple prototype using assets from the game. He strapped two giant fists onto a Goomba to test how it would feel to smash through walls and even grab debris from those walls to throw. You can see our rendition of what that may have looked like above.Continue Reading at GameSpot

Title: Planet Of Lana II: Children Of The Leaf Review - A Cinematic Odyssey Date: Fri, 13 Mar 2026 11:40:00 -0700 Link: https://www.gamespot.com/reviews/planet-of-lana-ii-children-of-the-leaf-review-a-cinematic-odyssey/1900-6418473/?ftag=CAD-01-10abi2f There aren't alien robots descending from the sky in Planet of Lana II: Children of the Leaf. Instead, the opening of this sequel is much more somber than the first game, beginning with the exploration of a crashed spaceship and the discovery of a more human-driven enemy. Protagonist Lana and her cat-like companion Mui don't seem like they're standing against an impossible threat this time around. They're older, and the world around them feels a bit smaller. But this planet is no less fantastical, and remains filled with unexplained questions. Planet of Lana II doesn't grow much beyond the mechanically simple, 2.5D puzzle-platformer formula of its first game, but it builds on the mystique of its predecessor to deliver a wondrous story.Taking place two years after the events of the first game, Planet of Lana II sees the titular Lana adapting to a changed world where her people and the robots that once tried to collect the entire planet's inhabitants now live side-by-side, with the former using the latter as tireless beasts of burden. However, when the new technologically savvy Dijinghala tribe from the north starts pushing further south, their environmentally destructive practices start to negatively impact the lives of Lana and her people.The biggest issue with Planet of Lana II's story is that it presents two problems in its first hour, and it follows the less interesting of the two for the first three hours of the five-hour story. The escalating efforts of the Dijinghala tribe lead to them dropping a crystal that's leaking a deadly green gas--this poisons Lana's adoptive little sister. To cure her, Lana sets out to collect the three ingredients needed to craft medicine. That's the inciting incident that gets her back out on the road and leaving home for another adventure.Continue Reading at GameSpot

Title: Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles II: Secret of the Ooze is still the most fun to be had in a TMNT movie Date: Sat, 14 Mar 2026 17:00:18 GMT Link: https://www.polygon.com/teenage-mutant-ninja-turtles-ii-secret-of-the-ooze-35th-anniversary/ Now, 1991’sTeenage Mutant Ninja Turtles II: The Secret of the Ooze is back in theaters, and, 35 years later, it’s still the most fun to be had with the Turtles on film (especially for those who grew up in the original Turtle-Mania of the late 1980s and early 1990s).

Title: The RAM crisis could completely change the way developers make games Date: Sat, 14 Mar 2026 16:00:17 GMT Link: https://www.polygon.com/ram-crisis-gdc-2026-analysis/ The skyrocketing cost of memory driven by AI was a major topic at this year's GDC. If you didn't bring it up with someone in a conversation, it was because they did first. It was one of the most important narratives of the show, casting a shadow over Xbox's grand Project Helix ambitions and raising questions about how rising prices could impact how games are made. No developer I spoke to quite knew the next steps for navigating the crisis, but several saw it as a moment to finally have a serious conversation about the industry's insatiable hunt to create the most high-end games possible.

Title: Invincible's showrunners reveal the brutal truth about 'superhero fatigue' Date: Sat, 14 Mar 2026 15:30:17 GMT Link: https://www.polygon.com/invincible-season-4-showrunners-superhero-fatigue/ Superhero movies ain’t the zeitgeist-smashing hulks they used to be. At least, that’s the prevailing sentiment, both among Hollywood executives and fans of the genre. While Marvel’s cultural domination was once unmatched and even a mediocre DC movie could make a killing at the box office, the return on these comic-book-based action flicks is rapidly diminishing. Television isn’t faring much better — look at reactions to Wonder Man compared to WandaVision, which basically earned a movie-sized sequel.

Title: Marathon's release signals the dire state of shooters in 2026 Date: Sat, 14 Mar 2026 15:00:17 GMT Link: https://www.polygon.com/marathon-fps-campaign-bungie/ Everyone who’s played or even looked at Marathon can agree its vibes are off the charts. But it’s also an extraction shooter, meaning anyone who wants to soak up those vibes needs to play a tense game mode with confusing rules that allows absolutely no room for error. This hasledmany to wish developer Bungie had instead designed Marathon as a traditional FPS. I’d go a step further: It doesn’t even necessarily need to be Marathon. I’ll take any great FPS campaign at this point.

Title: THX 1138 is still one of George Lucas’ most intriguing worlds Date: Sat, 14 Mar 2026 14:00:17 GMT Link: https://www.polygon.com/55-years-later-thx-1138-george-lucas/ THX 1138 opened in March 1971, and 55 years after its release, the science-fiction thriller mostly exists in the shadow of Lucas’ best-known creation. The filmmaker even went on to hide various references to his first movie throughout the Skywalker saga. But while the earliest evidence of his sci-fi mastery can be found in THX 1138, the film itself has more in common with famous dystopian books by Aldous Huxley or George Orwell than it does with stories of Ewoks and Gungans. That makes it a rare outlier in its director’s career that’s still worth revisiting all these years later.

Title: GeForce NOW Raises the Game at the Game Developers Conference Date: Thu, 12 Mar 2026 13:00:53 +0000 Link: https://blogs.nvidia.com/blog/geforce-now-thursday-gdc-2026/ GeForce NOW is bringing the game to the Game Developers Conference (GDC), running this week in San Francisco.

Title: NVIDIA Virtualizes Game Development With RTX PRO Server Date: Tue, 10 Mar 2026 15:30:07 +0000 Link: https://blogs.nvidia.com/blog/gdc-2026-virtual-game-development/ Game development teams are working across larger worlds, more complex pipelines and more distributed teams than ever. At the same time, many studios still rely on fixed, desk-bound GPU hardware for critical production work. At the Game Developers Conference (GDC) this week in San Francisco, NVIDIA is showcasing a new approach to bring together disparate workflows using virtualized game development on NVIDIA RTX PRO Servers, powered by NVIDIA RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell Server Edition GPUs and NVIDIA vGPU software. With the RTX PRO Server, studios can centralize and virtualize core workflows across creative, engineering, AI research and quality assurance (QA) — all on shared GPU infrastructure in the data center.  This enables teams to maintain the responsiveness and visual fidelity they expect from workstation-class systems while improving infrastructure utilization, scalability, data security and operational consistency across teams and locations. Simplifying Complex Workflows As game development studios scale, hardware can often sit underutilized in one location while other teams wait to access it for production work. QA capacity is hard to expand quickly. Over time, workstation hardware, drivers and tools diverge, making bugs harder to reproduce. AI workloads are often isolated on separate infrastructure, creating more operational overhead.  The NVIDIA RTX PRO Server helps studios move from workstation-by-workstation scaling to centralized GPU infrastructure. Studios can pool resources, allocate performance by workload and support parallel development, testing and AI workflows without expanding physical workstation sprawl. Centralized GPU infrastructure enables studios to run AI training, simulation and game automation workloads overnight, then dynamically reallocate the same resources to interactive development during the day, improving overall utilization and reducing idle capacity. The NVIDIA RTX PRO Server supports virtualized workflows for 3D graphics and AI across the game development lifecycle for: Artists: Providing virtual RTX workstations for traditional 3D and generative AI content-creation workflows. Developers: Powering consistent, high-performance engineering environments for coding and 3D development. AI researchers: Offering large-memory GPU profiles for fine-tuning, inference and AI agents. QA teams: Enabling scalable game validation and performance testing using the same NVIDIA Blackwell architecture used by GeForce RTX 50 Series GPUs. This allows studios to support multiple teams — including across sites and contractors — on one common GPU platform, improving collaboration and reducing debugging issues that can arise from disparate hardware. Supporting AI and Engineering on Shared Infrastructure AI is becoming a core part of everyday game development, spanning coding, content creation, testing and live operations. As these workflows expand, studios need infrastructure that can support AI alongside traditional graphics workloads without introducing separate, siloed systems. With the RTX PRO Server, studios can support coding agents, internal model experimentation and AI-assisted production workflows without spinning up a separate AI stack for every team. The NVIDIA RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell Server Edition GPU features a massive 96GB memory buffer, enabling developers to run multiple demanding applications simultaneously while supporting AI inference on larger models directly alongside real-time graphics workflows. NVIDIA Multi-Instance GPU (MIG) technology partitions a single GPU into isolated instances with dedicated memory, compute and cache resources. Combined with NVIDIA vGPU software, MIG can help studios securely allocate GPU capacity across users and workloads. In combined MIG and vGPU configurations, a single RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell Server Edition GPU can support up to 48 concurrent users, maximizing utilization while maintaining performance isolation. Enterprise-Ready Deployment for Game Studios NVIDIA RTX PRO Servers are designed for enterprise-grade data-center operations. Studios can deploy virtual workstations on RTX PRO Servers via NVIDIA vGPU on supported hypervisor and remote workstation platforms. That means RTX PRO Servers can fit into studios’ existing infrastructure and IT practices, rather than requiring one-off deployments. Major game publishers already use NVIDIA vGPU technology to scale centralized development infrastructure and improve efficiency at studio scale. ​Learn more about the NVIDIA RTX PRO Server. See these workflows live by joining NVIDIA’s booth 1426 at GDC or attending NVIDIA GTC, running March 16-19 in San Jose, California.  See notice regarding software product information.

Title: The Seven Deadly Sins: Origin PS5 features detailed, launches March 16 Date: Fri, 13 Mar 2026 16:30:24 +0000 Link: https://blog.playstation.com/2026/03/13/the-seven-deadly-sins-origin-ps5-features-detailed-launches-march-16/ The anime-inspired open-world RPG The Seven Deadly Sins: Origin launches March 16 on PlayStation 5. Ahead of release, we’ve unveiled a brand-new Immersion Trailer that highlights how the game leverages PS5 features to deliver a deeply tactile and responsive experience. Play Video This latest trailer goes beyond simply showcasing the world. By actively utilizing the unique capabilities of PlayStation 5, the game is designed so players don’t just see Britannia. They feel it, react to it, and move within it. Freely explore the vast, faithfully recreated world of Britannia, and experience a heightened sense of realism through nuanced haptic feedback and precise control that makes you feel as though you’ve stepped directly into the anime itself. Every action comes alive at your fingertips The Seven Deadly Sins: Origin features finely tuned haptic feedback through the DualSense wireless controller, physically conveying the tension of battle and the weight of every strike. Dynamic combat responses Distinct vibration patterns are applied to key combat actions, including character switching, combination jump attacks, and powerful ultimate abilities. The impact of strikes, explosive skill effects, and the urgency of taking damage are each expressed through unique rhythms that bring the battlefield’s momentum to life in your hands. Weapon-specific tactile differentiation Vibration intensity and patterns vary according to weapon concepts and skill visuals. Beyond visual differences, players can physically sense shifts in combat style, adding a new layer of immersion to every encounter. Controls you can truly feel The DualSense adaptive triggers enhance both exploration and combat with intuitive, situational resistance. Pressing a button becomes part of the experience itself. Fishing activities When a fish bites, trigger resistance changes instantly. The increasing tension heightens excitement and clearly distinguishes success from failure through tactile feedback. Charged attack skills Certain adventure skills build power based on trigger pressure. Gradually increasing resistance creates the sensation of energy gathering before release, amplifying the satisfaction of unleashing powerful abilities. Mounted weapon operation When controlling cannons or ballistae, players feel heavy trigger resistance that conveys the force of large-scale weaponry. The moment of release delivers a strong, satisfying recoil that reinforces the impact of each shot.   Step into the anime world  The Seven Deadly Sins: Origin is more than an adaptation. It is designed to let players step directly into the anime universe. Built in Unreal Engine 5, the seamless open world stretches uninterrupted from the royal capital of Liones to sweeping plains and ancient ruins. Lighting shifts, dynamic weather, environmental depth, and dense combat effects are all elevated by the power of PS5 hardware. Players are no longer just watching the anime unfold — they are moving within it, making choices, and forging their own path through Britannia. Strategic depth that elevates combat Players assemble a team of four heroes and can switch between them in real time during battle to adapt to changing situations. Skills and combination abilities evolve based on hero and weapon pairings Three weapon selection paths shape distinct combat styles A tactical structure that rewards sharp decision-making Combined with the DualSense feedback system, combat goes beyond action alone — delivering a tactical experience where sensation and strategy operate simultaneously. Deep solo play, even more intense together The Seven Deadly Sins: Origin naturally bridges immersive single-player progression with strategic cooperative play. Seamless co-op storytelling Main and side quests can be completed in a party. Players can join based on the party leader’s progression, enabling cooperative adventures without friction. Co-op focused dungeon challenges Multiplayer dungeons feature elemental mechanics that require coordination between players with different abilities. Smart role distribution and strategic responses determine success or failure. Explore the world at your own pace — and when greater challenges arise, join forces with allies to overcome them together. The Seven Deadly Sins: Origin launches March 16 on PS5 Wishlist now on PlayStation Store and prepare to journey across Britannia. The legend begins not just on your screen — but at your fingertips.

Title: Little Nightmares VR: Altered Echoes launches on PS VR2 April 24  Date: Thu, 12 Mar 2026 20:38:26 +0000 Link: https://blog.playstation.com/2026/03/12/little-nightmares-vr-altered-echoes-launches-on-ps-vr2-april-24/ The newest game in the Little Nightmares franchise, Altered Echoes, has just been announced. Soon, you’ll be able to enter the Nowhere in first person and touch the Transmission with your own two hands. Play Video Deep within this errant signal, you’ll play as Dark Six as you search for a way to reunite with Six and become whole once more. Let’s explore how this dangerous journey connects with both Little Nightmares 1 and 2 and catch up with some familiar faces. The Transmission  A dimension of sight and sound where even the strange rules of the Nowhere are twisted and warped. Gravity is optional and the rules of reality are melting into an endless loop of identical staircases and doors. But somewhere a familiar song is beckoning, leading you through these recursive passages and puzzles as you dodge dangerous traps and even more dangerous Residents. It should come as no surprise that the Thin Man stalks these unending halls, at one with the static and the noise. If he catches you, not even a remnant will remain. The Music Box At the heart of Dark Six’s experience of the Transmission is the inescapable Music Box. It guides Dark Six and pushes away the writhing shadows that hunt her. Even so, under the malignant influence of the Transmission, its simple melody seems to exert an uncanny power over Six that you must try to untangle. Here within the signal, the music box’s song is both the path and the unknown destination. Follow its song. To do otherwise is to lose yourself to the noise. The School The music leads you through your past, through the School where Six was captured by Bullies. Here in the Transmission, the Bullies are gone, and only the Teacher remains. In this childless classroom, the Teacher seems to have somewhat lost the plot and is building endless pillars of books, acting as both the inventor and the minotaur of a maddening labyrinth you must navigate to stay on course. Is this the genuine fate of the Teacher or merely a malicious fantasy given form within the Transmission by the imagination of a resentful Six? The lesson plan is unclear. Survive the maze and maybe you’ll find out. The Train Station Next, the song guides you through the present where dozens and dozens of Guests are traveling towards their final destination. Throughout the cars they slumber, saturated by dreams of future feasts and skittering morsels waiting to be snatched. Their keeper, the terrifying Conductor, prowls the aisles, ready to permanently eject anyone without the proper papers. This is the first time the Guests have been seen outside of the Maw and the questions their presence raises are unavoidable. Where are they going? Are there other eating establishments awaiting their business or is this another misleading distortion from the Transmission? You’ll have to survive if you ever want a chance to work it out for yourself. The Connections  The Transmission distorts everything it touches, and yet, an echo of the truth seems to remain. As you struggle to return to Six and find whatever piece of yourself remains intact, the connections you discover between the past, present and possible future may guide or mislead you. Only you can discover what still rings true. Little Nightmares: Altered Echoes will be available on April 24, 2026 for PS VR2.

Title: Marathon's next update will help your vault feel roomier, and Bungie outlines their plans for higher-end PCs Date: Sat, 14 Mar 2026 17:59:32 +0000 Link: https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/marathons-next-update-will-help-your-vault-feel-roomier-and-bungie-outlines-their-plans-for-higher-end-pcs Marathon has entered its second week of existence, even if it somehow feels like it's already been around forever (perhaps that's the discourse I'm remembering now that I think about it), and Bungie have been ticking away at updates bit by bit.

Title: Fear not, phobia havers, Slay the Spire 2 will be catering to you in a future update Date: Sat, 14 Mar 2026 17:01:01 +0000 Link: https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/fear-not-phobia-havers-slay-the-spire-2-will-be-catering-to-you-in-a-future-update Broadly speaking accessibility features still have a long way to go in most games, however, one that has been cropping up more and more are phobia-sensitive options. It cannot be understated how many don't like spiders! So the increase in such features is welcome as someone who perhaps doesn't have a phobia but would still like the option to not look at the eight-legged devils. And according to March's Slay the Spire 2 newsletter, sorry, neowsletter, a phobia accessibility mode is on the way. Read more

Item #1 on the balance change list: "Players, enemies, and pets can no longer have their HP increased above 999,999,999." Yep, that sure sounds like a balancing problem. Thanks, Mega Crit. Read more

Title: Starfield is a game people were "just not ready" for and it'll still come good at some point, reckons Fallout 4 composer Date: Fri, 13 Mar 2026 17:40:37 +0000 Link: https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/starfield-is-a-game-people-were-just-not-ready-for-and-itll-still-come-good-at-some-point-reckons-fallout-4-composer Starfield, despite having fallen short of lodging itself as firmly in the bit of humanity's collective psyche labelled 'the good shit' in comparison to its Bethesda-made siblings, will still achieve something akin to that at some point. Eventually, the man who composed the space RPG's soundtrack reckons, it'll "become something that will be legendary". Why? Because Todd Howard's big visionary brain cannot be stopped. Read more
