Monster Hunter Wilds Doesn't Sacrifice Depth In Streamlining The Experience

Buried under Capcom’s Osaka, Japan headquarters is a small foley studio. Dozens–if not hundreds–of shoes are tucked into cubbies outside the door. Inside, the space looks more like an antique store than the high-end recording studio responsible for the sound effects from nearly every Capcom game. The walls are adorned with household appliances, fabrics, and tools of every kind. The foley artist that greets us is holding what appears to be a PVC pipe with a mouth piece haphazardly mounted onto the side of it. The team calls this strange gray tube Murmurs of a King; it’s an instrument Capcom created specifically for the Rey Dau, a ferocious beast that players will hunt in Monster Hunter Wilds.

Unlike most instruments, Murmurs of a King does not sound pleasant. Its bass-y…

Unreal Engine May Make It Easier To Bring Halo To PS5, Experts Say

At the end of the 2024 Halo World Championships, 343 Industries made some big announcements about the future of Halo. The studio is rebranding as Halo Studios, and future Halo titles will now be developed in Unreal Engine 5, rather than Slipstream Engine. This move has also reignited speculation about Halo games potentially appearing on PlayStation 5. And according to industry experts, this will make porting Halo a lot easier.

“From a multi-platform game development perspective, moving to Unreal Engine 5 would certainly be easier for the developer than porting across the existing Slipspace engine,” said Digital Foundry’s Rich Leadbetter via Eurogamer. “It stands to reason that an engine designed for deployment across multiple platforms would be easier to work with than existing te…

New World: Aeternum, Amazon Games’ MMO, is set during the Age of Exploration, on an island where no one can die–but immortality isn’t always a gift.
