Lo Wang and his rude 'tude will return next year in Shadow Warrior 3, developer Flying Wild Hog and publisher Devolver Digital announced today. He's off to recapture an ancient dragon, which is probably fine. The most important detail: this time, the agile FPS has a grappling hook too. Congratulations, Shadow Warrior, on finally becoming a proper real video game. Game director Kuba Opoń says Flying Wild Hog "hope that Shadow Warrior 3 will feel like a homecoming for those fans that have been with us since the beginning." Read into that as much as you want. For now, come see the trailer.
]]>HDR on PC hasn't improved much in 2019. Despite there being more HDR gaming monitors than ever before, the very best gaming monitors for HDR continue to be quite expensive compared to non-HDR monitors, and the situation around Windows 10 support for it is still a bit of a mess. However, provided you're willing to fight through all that, then the next step on your path to high dynamic range glory is to get an HDR compatible graphics card.
Below, you'll find a complete list of all the Nvidia and AMD graphics cards that have built-in support for HDR, as well as everything you need to know about getting one that also supports Nvidia and AMD's own HDR standards, G-Sync Ultimate and FreeSync 2. I've also put together a list of all the PC games that support HDR as well, so you know exactly which PC games you can start playing in high dynamic range.
]]>After years of growing beards and wearing plaid shirts as an independent studio, Hard Reset developers and Shadow Warrior rebooters Flying Wild Hog have got a shave, started wearing ties, and sided with The Suits. The Polish studio have been bought by Supernova Capital, an investment firm founded by a number of Splash Damage veterans including former CEO Paul Wedgwood. They all say this is good news for Flying Wild Hog, as the gang will get to focus on making games while The Suits provide financial security, sit in smoky rooms steepling their fingers, and cackle ominously when they don't realise conference calls are still going.
]]>The rude, crude Shadow Warrior 2 is free to grab on GOG for the next two days. Flying Wild Hog's shooter is a big messy slab of old-school FPS'ing infused with painful jokes (which frequently made me giggle), some Borderlands-ish stat juggling, procedural encounter generation and lots of monsters and cyborgs to mulch.
Adam Smith gushed profusely in his review, calling it "anarchic, excessive, ridiculous, occasionally spectacular and almost entirely wonderful". After winning over Firewatch and Superhot in a vote today, GOG are giving it away for 48 hours, celebrating the store's 10th anniversary . Get it here and tell your friends - it's co-op too.
]]>The store formerly known as Good Old Games is ten years old, and GOG is celebrating by slashing prices on a bunch of games, as you do. The site has also been revamped with a new, wider and roomier design, and there's a vote happening now to decide what game they'll be giving away on October 4th - Shadow Warrior 2, Superhot or Firewatch? Take your pick.
GOG invited RPS's crew to pick a few showcase games. While not all of them are discounted, we think that our list of Good Games For Better People is a nice look at the softer side of videogames. Romance and relationships get top billing, although if you like to mix in a little violence, half of Dragon Age: Origins's best dialogue happens while everyone's dripping with fresh demon blood.
]]>Hey gang, if you missed Shadow Warrior the last time it was free, another chance is here for a few more hours. This is the 2013 reboot of the demon-stabbing FPS, to be clear, not 3D Realm's original (which is always free). You've got until 6pm today (10am Pacific) to grab this free so chop chop.
The giveaway celebrates the launch of new missions and weapons for Shadow Warrior 2 in a free update last night. And that game's on sale right now too. So many shadows and wars, so little time.
]]>Seeing as Shadow Warrior 2 [official site] has been out for five months, by now you might have murdered millions of demons with every one of its dozens of weapons and be ready for something new. Good news: developers Flying Wild Hog today released a free 'DLC pack' adding new missions, perks, and weapons to the first-person looter shooter. Expect everything from a Medusa Ray to trouble with demonic rabbit lords. Have a look at the new weapons in this trailer:
]]>Shadow Warrior 2 [official site] is hardly story-heavy but if you simply want to launch yourself into a horde of monsters with your swords swinging, a new update has your back. Developers Flying Wild Hog last night boshed in trials offering a series of rewards as you murder the heck out a load of demons. Why delay? Murder today!
]]>As I predicted, so it shall soon come to pass. The same game in no less than four slots in the Steam chart (comprising, as always, those games which sold best over the past week). Out, damn top-spot hoggers.
]]>Shadow Warrior 2 [official site] is "anarchic, excessive, ridiculous, occasionally spectacular and almost entirely wonderful", our Adam will tell you. Now, I'm not saying you should do and believe everything Adam might tell you - please don't worship him as a minor ale deity, not again - but he's not wrong there. Now that it's out, developers Flying Wild Hog and publishers Devolver Digital are gabbing about what's next. Freebies including new missions and weapons, for starters. They're a bit vague but hey, more of a good game is coming, and that's good.
]]>I have a terrible confession to make. While, on a weekly basis, I protest about the oft-unchanging nature of these charts, the truth is that a new entry makes me sigh. It means I have to laboriously type out new HTML rather than just copy the links from last week. This means terrible, unspeakable suffering in a week such as this, where there actually are quite a few 'new' games.
]]>Shadow Warrior 2 [official site] could have gone horribly wrong. The 2013 reboot succeeded because it took the principles of a nineties FPS and dragged them kicking and bleeding into the twenty-first century, adding superb melee combat controls, a well thought-out upgrade system, but sticking with linear levels packed with easter eggs and secrets. It was the best of the old and the best of the new.
For their sequel, Flying Wild Hog have kept the fundamentals but built an entirely different game atop them. Part Borderlands, part interactive chainsaw massacre, it throws everything at the wall and hopes there's enough blood to make most of it stick.
]]>Given that Shadow Warrior 2 [official site] has a squillion weapons, I suppose I shouldn't be surprised to learn that the supernatural FPS has a Warhammer 40K-style chainsword. It looks pretty great! There's a terrible moment each time Lo Wang strikes an enemy, a drawn-out dragging as the chainsword's teeth bite into flesh. I wonder how much time went into perfecting that. Anyway! I'll surely rev one up myself after Shadow Warrior 2 launches on October 13, but for now we can watch Lo Wang swinging his in this 12-minute gameplay video:
]]>Shoot and slice 'em up Shadow Warrior 2 [official site] is set to launch October 13. It's a bloody, over-the-top ninja adventure that doesn't take itself too seriously. There's a guy taking a selfie as he decapitates a monster, so there's stuff in there us millennials can relate to, too. It's also shaping up to be quite beautiful if you look past all of the gore spraying everywhere. In the trailer below, Flying Wild Hog has recreated the subtle fall foliage of November in Japan contrasted with the white-washed walls of austere Buddhist temples. Lovely!
]]>We're coming to the end of the Summer Steam Sale so chances are you've picked up the things you'd already got your eye on, but there are always games that sneak under the radar or come from genres you might usually ignore. That's why we've put together our final recommendation list. Here's a whole list of things we love and why we think they're worth your time! (Don't forget to check out our earlier picks and the comments, though - I picked up a bunch of games that had escaped my own notice through reader enthusiasm...)
]]>Demons, in Shadow Warrior 2 [official site], appear to be made of jelly. I’m carving one particularly big bastard open like a Christmas turkey and the segments that slide away are like the gelatinous gloop and gristle sliding from a tin of cheap dogfood. They wibble and wobble, quivering beneath the teeth of my chainsaw. They fold and flop, eventually disintegrating.
The ultraviolence is more over the top than in the game’s predecessor, but it’s nothing new. That’s just about the only place that the sequel takes the “more of the same” approach though. Almost everything has changed.
]]>Have You Played? is an endless stream of game retrospectives. One a day, every day of the year, perhaps for all time.
But which Shadow Warrior do I mean? Despite my love of the magnificent Build Engine, not the 1997 original which never worked its way into my heart in the way that Blood did. Gotta have some Blood in your heart. But, no, I'm talking about the distant year of 2013, when Hard Reset developers Flying Wild Hog released a game that surprised me by being one of my favourites of the year.
]]>The Shadow Warrior reboot was one of the most pleasant surprises I've had since I started writing about games. It's a superb action game that does first-person melee combat well, has gorgeous environments, and managed not to feel like a throwback to the skeevier parts of the Build Engine days while capturing so much that I loved about the era. I can't wait for the sequel [official site], and these twelve minutes of blood, bickering and burning demons make it all the more attractive.
]]>Shadow Warrior 2 [official site] looks full of places I'd like to swim, and I can't think of a higher compliment to pay a game's environment artists.
Shadow Warrior 2 also looks full of some of the nicest-looking first-person shooting I've seen out of E3. A new 13-minute gameplay trailer shows off the demo build they took to E3, with Lo Wang and a co-op pal fighting demons through a village's streets and over its rooftops, into a temple. The speed and slickness of it all looks cool as heck. Check out this cool murder:
]]>Four-player co-op and missions into procedurally-generated lands are the two biggest shiny new things Shadow Warrior 2 [official site] will bring, publishers Devolver Digital announced this afternoon following a teasingly short teaser campaign.
Lo Wang will return in 2016 as a mercenary murdering folks and swiping loot while trying not to be murdered by demons. This time he'll have friends to help with that. Also guns, a sword, and magic powers, same as ever. Come have a look in the first trailer.
]]>Shadow Warrior 2: Wang Harder. 2 Wang 2 Warrior. Shadow Warrior: The Secret of the Wang. Shadow Warrior And The Last Wang/Raiders of the Lost Wang/Kingdom of the Crystal Wang/Wang of Doom. Judgement Wang. Shadow Warrior VII: The Wang Awakens. Shadow Warrior: The Wang of Ultron.
Wang World.
Evidence points toward an official Shadow Warrior 2 [official site] announcement in the near future (and, hey, isn't E3 in the near future?). I have collected the evidence in a small pile, along with some lint and pistachio shells.
