Crimson Desert's Kliff was originally so Scottish he was named after a MacBeth character, and his actor pushed Pearl Abyss to make him less "stoic"
I know exactly who Kliff, the protagonist of Crimson Desert, is. During my romp through the vast expanse of Pywel, he was a distant tower enthusiast with a side interest in lonely locomotives. Aside from those things, he's rather bland. Though, the actor who played him has now outlined that throughout the game's regularly shifting development - which included a name change for its main character - he pushed Pearl Abyss to make the character more than just a stoic line-grumbler.

Ancient version of GTA 4 with a cut zombie mode, ferry assets and DJ lines reportedly found at car boot sale
An ancient, work-in-progress version of Rockstar's Grand Theft Auto IV has reportedly been discovered on an Xbox 360 development kit at a car boot sale, somewhere up Edinburgh way. Dating back to November 2007, about six months before the open world game's launch, it's said to contain a cut model for a Liberty City river ferry that once featured in a trailer. While we only have the buyer's word that the development hardware - "a phat white Xbox 360 XDK with a Rockstar North label on it" - is le

This potent low profile Logitech G515 Lightspeed TKL keyboard is discounted on both sides of the Atlantic
The Logitech G515 Lightspeed TKL first launched back in mid-2024 as a more affordable alternative to the Swiss brand's all-conquering G915 TKL. It retained enough of the fundamentals - solid chassis, snappy low-profile switches, reliable wireless connectivity and so on - to make it feel like a strong value proposition at the time, although with current sales, has been made an even better one. I'm currently seeing it for its best prices in a while on both sides of the Atlantic - that's £95

Screamerâs multiplayer chases unleash the racerâs full chaotic potential, trapping you inside a relentlessly boosty, bashy, and boomy washing machine
When James and I published our impressions of anime racer Screamer the other week, I mentioned I was keen to give its online races a go once it’d pulled out of the garage. Would the sights and sounds of sliding around its twisty tracks and slamming into real people make for as much fun as I’d had racing the computer in its story mode? Read more

"0.63 is the perfect default delay": Bungie, Respawn and Firaxis game developers talk NPC barks, grenade timing and other questions of craft
Much of the time, using social media is like fondling a wasp's nest, but sometimes, sometimes, social media is Nice. For example, Firaxis narrative director Cat Manning recently started a Bluesky thread "of small practical pieces of advice developers just starting out or unfamiliar with a genre might not know". The replies and quote-posts include thoughts from people with credits on fairly big games. Inevitably, they run the gamut of approachability. At one end of the spectrum, you have Apex Le
