"A lot of new games aren't really getting the chance they should"

Troy Baker says The Last of Us 2's devastating final scene was originally at the start of the game

The Last of Us 2 has the perfect video game ending for my money. Without spoiling anything in case you've yet to experience this masterpiece of a game, it's bitterly unsatisfying but somehow, thematically and narratively, the only way to wrap up the story in a way that does justice to the characters, who they are, and what they've all been through.

Carrie's Mike Flanagan explains why he chose to exclude one infamous scene

Mike Flanagan says he opted to skip the infamous pig slaughtering scene in his adaptation of Carrie. "Yeah, I didn't have much of a stomach to watch the pig get slaughtered," Flanagan tells GamesRadar+. "There's so much cruelty in the show, but it was also seeing the lack of horror on Chris's face that became more horrific to me. And seeing how far down that road she'd gone and her kind of fascination with that. Yeah, that was how we decided to approach it.

At this point, it'd almost be easier to name the blockbuster game franchise Troy Baker hasn't been a part of. The Last of Us, BioShock: Infinite, Final Fantasy 13, Mass Effect 3; he gets around. He's so prolific that creators have specifically sought him out for certain roles, like Hideo Kojima, who created a part in Death Stranding for the performer.

Final Fantasy 7's beloved soundtrack is mostly "boring," Nobuo Uematsu says, but that was on purpose

The Final Fantasy series has always had incredible music, and if you were to ask my top three soundtracks from the franchise, Final Fantasy 7 and 10 would probably compete for the number one position.

I still think this Lego set is better than Minas Tirith, and it just hit a record low price

I knew from early on when building Minas Tirith that it was one of my favorite Lego sets. It's a jaw-dropping build with an incredible level of detail, and the forced perspective is so cleverly done... but even then, it can't beat what I would argue is one of the all-time best Lego sets: Rivendell.

Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 boss says using AI to replace devs is a "fundamentally flawed idea"

There's a certain routine setting in for AI in video games right now, wherein a studio or publisher uses it to some extent, only to get pushback and replace the generative assets with more human work. The approach is fundamentally wrong-headed, believes Martin Klima, the CEO of Warhorse Studios, the studio behind the Kingdom Come: Deliverance games, because the tech is a tool, not a replacement for the creative process.

Analogue Pocket SNES emulator dev says AI-powered slop code "has no place in my world"

One of the best parts of the Analogue Pocket is openFPGA – a fancy name for supporting an array of open-source, homebrew emulators. But as with seemingly every corner of the retro dev scene, the makers of these FPGA emulator cores are having to contend with low-effort, vibe-coded slop from would-be contributors. You can pencil in the dev behind the SNES emulator for Analogue Pocket as one of the many annoyed by having to deal with all this AI-generated code.

Naughty Dog "exists to sell Sony hardware," former Last of Us and Uncharted dev says

Making AAA games is only getting more expensive, particularly in North America, where many of the industry's most prestigious studios are based. With so many companies pouring their big budget development resources into live-service games that can generate infinite profits, how are studios like Naughty Dog allowed to continue investing years into one-and-done single-player games? Probably because Sony needs those games to keep selling PS5s.

Castlevania Belmont's Curse skipping Switch 2 also baffles former Nintendo marketing lead

The release of Castlevania: Belmont's Curse is something of a monkey's paw affair for Nintendo Switch 2 owners.

14 years later, Troy Baker is still embarrassed by his Mass Effect 3 role

Calling Mass Effect 3's legacy "controversial" would be an understatement. The ending, the DLC rollout, the decision to turn the Normandy's computer into a sexed-up fembot… the list goes on.

The collective industry has been reckoning with expanded usage of AI for the last several years. We've seen generative AI used in various capacities across multiple blockbuster releases, and more recently, the tech in Nvidia DLSS 5 has created a whole frontier of discussion.

Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 lead is "bored and tired" of "repetitive" RPGs and "games for teenagers"

There are some well-worn tropes in RPGs. The protagonist is often some form of destined saviour, on a quest to defeat a cartoonishly evil villain, with a selection of side-characters along the way. Warhorse Studios actively rejects all of that when it comes to Kingdom Come: Deliverance, because in the studio's mind, they sell the genre short.
