As mentioned earlier, 0.49.0 will reject saves made in releases before 0.45.0, released in 2019. Like Morrowind, OpenMW warns you when loading saved games that target a completely different content setup, and 0.49.0 will list what specifically is missing from your current content list.

'They told me to destroy' my backups, Fallout creator Tim Cain says: 'People high up at companies take authority but no responsibility' for game preservation

They (and all the sprites in the original Fallout) represent a milestone for the CRPG—and as far as Fallout co-creator Tim Cain knows, their source art assets might just be gone for good. "Those source art files were huge … they were backed up to DAT tape, but I don't know what happened to that DAT tape and it doesn't last that long. So, I think that source art is all gone." "I've lost stuff, and I think I take an active effort to keep a lot of things, so I can see why companies have lost stuff. "A few months ago, I did a video on game preservation," Cain said in his video. 🖊️️🤖

Final Fantasy Tactics writer says its political message is still relevant because the world hasn’t improved in 30 years

Final Fantasy Tactics: The Ivalice Chronicles is set to arrive on September 30 on PS5, Xbox Series X/S, PS4 and PC. The tactical RPG was originally released on the PlayStation back in 1997, but is getting a modern remaster on PC and consoles. Yasumi Matsuno, the original script writer, scenario writer and editor for the game, pointed out that its central themes remain applicable today. 🖋️🤖

In the paper "Agricultural videogames and 'good farming,'" authors Simon Foureaux and Thomas Daum of the University of Gothenburg outline how they think Farming Simulator encourages an overall harmful view of the farmer's job. 🖋️🤖

The Sims' latest patch has caused a pregnancy epidemic, even if they've never had 'woo-hoo'

The Sims 4's latest expansion, Enchanted By Nature, has stayed true-to-form by messing up unrelated parts of the game. The bug isn't affecting every player but is widespread, and looking into the various places Sims players discuss such things introduced me to an entire weird world of pregnancy questions. When Sims are being erroneously marked as pregnant they are, oddly enough, unable to take a pregnancy test. Vampires aren't allowed to feed off pregnant Sims, you see, so a world full of them is like a buffet under lock-and-key. The Sims team continues to work on "resolutions for pregnant Sims." 🖊️️🤖

Final Fantasy Creator Hironobu Sakaguchi’s Departure Led to Square’s “Collapse”, Series Composer Says

Final Fantasy series creator Hironobu Sakaguchi left Square back in 2003, and his departure impacted more than the popular role-playing game series, as Square reportedly "collapsed" after he left. As reported by Automaton, the creator of the Final Fantasy series recently spoke on the NOBIYO To Isshoni podcast hosted by longtime series composer Nobuo Uematsu about their time together at the Japanese publisher. At the time, Square did not have a proper corporate organization, Uematsu-san recalled during the show, but everybody listened to Sakaguchi-san, whom he described as a leader. Although Hironobu Sakaguchi left Square over 20 years ago, the legendary game developer recently collaborated with the publisher again on FANTASIAN: Neo Dimension, the PC and console port of the JRPG originally released on the Apple Arcade service a few years back. Sakaguchi-san's touch is unmistakable in the game, so much so that it feels like a proper entry in the Final Fantasy series, as I highlighted in my review. 🖊️️🤖

This represents the fourth time in 18 months that Microsoft Gaming has laid off workers.

HR is working directly with impacted employees to provide severance plan benefits (aligned with local laws), including pay, healthcare coverage, and job placement resources to support their transition. Microsoft has laid off thousands upon thousands of workers over the last 18 months, including 1,900 employees in January 2024. According to the report, the number of impacted Blizzard employees could reach as high as 100, with the Overwatch team appearing to escape unscathed this time around. 🖊️️🤖

Nigel Mansell World Championship (C64)

Status: Preview, Findability: 3/5Keeping with all the hype of the ex-world champion, Gremlin bought the rights to produce a game based on the famous British Formula One driver, with Nigel Mansell’s World Championship. As a result, the game became one of the holy grail titles for the C64, one which many had been looking forward to including myself. Martin Piper for instance found a hidden talking head for Nigel Mansell – likely to have been used for the training segment. Warren Pilkington ripped the tunes as a SID (see downloads) and found 5 unused bits of SFX as well. So at long last – check out something of a Nigel Mansell game on your C64 for yourself as we close the case on a title that has haunted Games That Weren’t for 26 years and C64 users for much longer. 🖊️️🤖

The Brief History of Motion Sensor Aiming in Video Games

In this mode, you can look around from Link's perspective, and motion aiming is back. Motion Aiming is used, but unlike Nintendo’s implementation of Motion Aiming in the Wii era and Ocarina of Time 3D, you can finally use the Right Stick to move the camera. Here comes the recycled paragraph…and it also heavily relies on Motion Controls due to the focus on 360-degree flight. It is playable without Motion Aiming and you can turn it off in the settings, but you practically need Motion Aiming for traversal. (ironically, Wii U Gamepad works better there than handhelds)Unlike Intu-Aiming (which uses ADS for Motion Aiming), Splatoon opts for "Always-On" Motion Aiming. 🖊️️🤖

Morrowind modders continue to astound, add object physics with 'pure lua' to a 23-year old game

OpenMWLuaPhysics is a "simple and naive physics engine in pure lua" that produces "Half-Life 1 level of physics, maybe a bit better" Seeing bottles clink around in Vvardenfell is enough to make me feel like I've been hucked into another universe where Bethesda figured out its famous physics shenanigans a few years early. 🖋️🤖

Colony building sim Mountaincore is now free to play and open source

A complicated history for this one, with the developer Rocket Jump Technology no longer existing as a business. The previous iteration of the game named King under the Mountain went open source back in January 2024, and now what was to be the big revamp is also open source. The publisher eventually backed out, but allowed the developer to continue with the funded work and still release it. Having both versions of the game now open source is a great outcome though, another big project for people to learn from and perhaps continue elsewhere.

Pushing Buttons: Is there even any point in making more powerful games consoles?

Last week, my favoured gaming news site, VGC, asked former US PlayStation boss Shawn Layden whether he thought the pursuit of more powerful consoles was still the way to go for the video games industry. I am the least technically minded games journalist I know, and have often felt as if I was in the minority. To me, games started looking pretty great about 15 years ago and most of the improvement I’ve seen since then has felt incremental. The chief technological innovation of the last 15 years in games has been VR, and that turned out to have niche appeal. Also, I hear the Guardian has a very good online games section – you should check it out some time. 🖊️️🤖

Classic JRPG Remake Trails in the Sky 1st Chapter Confirms New Script That 'Honors the Original Japanese Text'

Trails in the Sky 1st Chapter looks like a ridiculously cool remake based on everything we've seen of it so far — but some fans have long wondered whether the game will simply reuse the old localisation from when Trails in the Sky was originally brought overseas by publisher Xseed Games. As it turns out, 1st Chapter will feature a newly localised script, as per the official pre-order information from remake publisher GungHo Online Entertainment. The thing is, the old game's English script has, at times, been accused of being an inaccurate representation of the original Japanese writing. It's not what we'd call a popular complaint — we happen to think the Sky games have a largely charming localisation — but it'll be interesting to see how this reworked script compares. Indeed, GungHo specifically states: "Trails in the Sky 1st Chapter features a new localization, ensuring an authentic and engaging experience that honors the original Japanese text." 🖊️️🤖

Uninvited guestsFatal Fury: City of the Wolves is the so-long-awaited-we-basically-gave-up-hope-of-ever-getting-it sequel to the legendary Garou: Mark of the Wolves. Garou was something of an experiment akin to Street Fighter III, taking place 10 years after Real Bout Fatal Fury (but crucially not Real Bout Fatal Fury 2: The Newcomers). Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves’ menus look like they were made in Microsoft Paint, so I knew it would be a banger from the moment I first launched it.

Steam Deck Now Cheaper Than A Switch During Valve's Big Summer Sale

Valve’s popular portable PC, the Steam Deck, is currently on sale. You can currently buy the powerful gaming device for less than a Standard Switch or Switch OLED. On June 24, Valve announced that the two models of the original Steam Deck will be marked down by 15% until July 11. That means you can pick up a 64GB Steam Deck for just $297. 🖋️🤖

Elon Musk dies to tutorial boss in Path of Exile 2 livestream

The stream, which, as of this writing, is still available to view on X, lasted for roughly an hour and 45 minutes, in which Musk himself rarely spoke. He stared silently and solemnly at the camera as he played through the early parts of the game, released in early access back in December. During the stream he died a few times, forcing him to create new characters as he played on hardcore (i.e. A few minutes into the stream, Musk started to receive private messages from other players. Some were celebratory, calling him a “god gamer,” but the messages quickly veered into spammy, then abusive territory. 🖊️️🤖

Steam's Latest Client Update Introduces Many Refinements for Linux

Steam has been a notable backer of gaming in Linux thanks to their Arch-powered SteamOS and Wine-based Proton compatibility layer. The Linux app now features improved client update download speeds and a fix for a bug where non-Steam versions of Proton were being assigned the wrong compatibility tools.

Ubisoft argues players don't own their games in wake of The Crew lawsuit

The Crew is an online-only title, and once Ubisoft deactivated its servers, launching the game merely starts a restricted demo version.

The case has sparked renewed calls for legislation to protect players when games reach end-of-life status. 🖋️🤖

Every Age of Empires Game Ranked, From Worst To Best

Age of Empires II: Age of Kings was the first game I have ever played on PC, so it’s no wonder this series has a special place in my heart. In this article, I’ll take a look at every Age of Empires game (Age of Mythology included), ranking them from worst to best, and exploring how each one contributed to the evolution of the series. What Age of Empires: Mobile truly is, is Return to Empire, a mobile game from 2020 with an Age of Empires II skin. Age of Empires III: Definitive EditionAge of Empires II was (and still is) a genre-defining game that surpassed every other RTS at the time it came out. Personally, I think that as soon as Age of Empires II came out, the original Age of Empires was immediately outdated in almost every aspect, bar one: it’s ancient setting and the civilizations it allowed you to take control of. 🖊️️🤖

How is GOG Galaxy Still Not On Linux?

If you do want that integrated all-in-one experience of a client, GOG does have its own client known as GOG Galaxy you can download to manage your games. There’s just one problem though, one problem that gives a lot of otherwise-interested Linux users some hesitation in fully switching over to buying their games on GOG. Try to see if you can spot it in this picture:That’s right, GOG Galaxy doesn’t support Linux. Obviously Windows is dominant, but what’s really telling is how there’s a larger share of Linux users than Mac users. And while you could argue Linux users do have other community-made clients available to them such as Lutris (which do support GOG games), these aren’t a full replacement. 🖊️️🤖

AI this, AI that - you can't go anywhere without something trying to force AI on you. So indie devs have begun fighting back with their No Gen AI Seal. Announced by Alex Kanaris-Sotiriou of Polygon Treehouse (Mythwrecked & Röki) on Bluesky, they've launched the free to use No Gen AI Seal available via the Polygon Treehouse website. Perhaps in future we might see stores add specific filters to select "No Gen AI".

Super Smash Bros. creator says instead of making more "Americanized works," Japanese devs should "seek the uniqueness and fun of Japanese games"

Masahiro Sakurai, the legendary mind behind Super Smash Bros. Ultimate and the beloved 25-year-old series behind it, thinks developers in Japan should focus on creating more games "that Japanese people like" after a shift to "Americanized works." "It's not really my own idea," reveals the director, "but as an industry trend, I think Japanese people should keep pursuing the things that Japanese people like." He doesn't think that the overseas market is actually searching for this more "Americanized," filtered experience, however, "but rather, I think that they seek the uniqueness and fun of Japanese games." Masahiro Sakurai says Super Smash Bros "might have died out" if not for late Nintendo president Satoru Iwata: "There's no doubt that he influenced me in many ways" 🖊️️🤖

Video game preservation scored a win today with EA's decision to make four Command & Conquer games open source. The company has released the source code for Command & Conquer, Command & Conquer: Red Alert, Command & Conquer: Renegade and Command & Conquer: Generals through a GPL license. In addition, EA is adding Steam Workshop support to more contemporary entries in the real-time strategy franchise, including a modding support pack with assets from the series titles on the SAGE engine, such as Command & Conquer Red Alert 3. (Plus, never forget that Red Alert 3 also contains the single best line delivery in all of video game history.)

Oh, and there’s Assassin’s Creed Shadows at the end of the week, with a story set in feudal Japan and a whole base-building system. But that will come after Pathologic 3, which starts the week off with another macabre story of death and decay. MLB The Show 25 promises a bunch of new additions to the series, including that roguelike board game mode. And if sports aren’t for you, Reignbreaker is a game that mixes medieval weaponry with a bit of cyberpunk. 🖊️️🤖

The Brief History of Motion Sensor Aiming in Video Games

In this mode, you can look around from Link's perspective, and motion aiming is back. Motion Aiming is used, but unlike Nintendo’s implementation of Motion Aiming in the Wii era and Ocarina of Time 3D, you can finally use the Right Stick to move the camera. Here comes the recycled paragraph…and it also heavily relies on Motion Controls due to the focus on 360-degree flight. It is playable without Motion Aiming and you can turn it off in the settings, but you practically need Motion Aiming for traversal. (ironically, Wii U Gamepad works better there than handhelds)Unlike Intu-Aiming (which uses ADS for Motion Aiming), Splatoon opts for "Always-On" Motion Aiming. 🖊️️🤖
