The incredible response to Tomb Raider I–III Remastered inspired us to go a little deeper for Lara’s next remastered adventure. Thanks to the overwhelming support and enthusiasm from the Tomb Raider community, we’re continuing to enhance the journey for fans with Tomb Raider IV-VI Remastered which launches on February 14. This time, we’re introducing exclusive tools and fresh new ways to experience these iconic adventures. 

In this article, we’ll dive into some of these exciting new additions—features that redefine how you’ll engage with Lara’s world and cement this remastered trilogy as a labor of love for both the developers and the fans.

Capture every epic moment

Photo Mode is back, and it’s better than ever! Building on the beloved features from the previous trilogy, you’ll still have countless poses to strike and weapons to outfit Lara Croft. This collection features all the Photo Mode resources from the first collection + a slew of new ones for players to discover!

Introducing the Flyby Camera Maker

One of the most exciting additions to Tomb Raider IV–VI Remastered is the Flyby Camera Maker, a tool that empowers players to create their own dynamic, cinematic shots. This feature lets you map out a moving camera path through any scene, opening a world of creative possibilities.

Take a look at this video showcasing the new Flyby Camera Maker in action:

As you can see, this tool is incredibly easy to use. 

1. Simply place up to 20 cameras along a path wherever you like. 
2. Fine-tune your shots by scrolling through your placed camera points and adjust various settings like; Roll, Field-of-View, Zoom, and movement speed. 
3. Hit the play button—it’s that easy! 

It doesn’t stop there—Lara Croft herself can take center stage.

Using Photo Mode, you can position her within your custom shot, choosing her stance, expression, weapons, and outfit to match the mood and style of the moment. 

This tool isn’t just for cinematic enthusiasts—it’s for anyone who’s ever wanted to see the world of Tomb Raider through a filmmaker’s lens. 

We’ve been blown away by the vast amount of Photo-Mode creations that the community has shared across the internet, and this is our way of adding onto that. We want to see what you make, so keep on sharing your creations with the community.

Hello everybody! This is Hugo Martin, Game Director on Doom: The Dark Ages reporting from the offices at id Software – we are all hard at work polishing this latest installment in the franchise. It’s almost ready and we can’t wait for you to play it.  In the meantime, we have a new look at gameplay we put together for you. There’s lots to breakdown from the video, so let’s get started – I’m guessing you’ve got some questions, let me try and give you some more details…

Play Video

What’s the new combat loop in Dark Ages, and how’s it different from Eternal or Doom (2016)?

High level – you could say it’s a blend of the two but with a new, medieval toolkit. We’re looking to create an experience that has the depth of Eternal’s loop with the simplicity of Doom (2016)’s control scheme. As a player, you performed a lot of cool actions in Eternal, and each action/attack had its own input. In Dark Ages we have a brand-new set of cool medieval actions to perform but this time, with fewer buttons to press!

The depth/simplicity is achieved by making the behavior of items like the Shield-Saw change based on the material it interacts with. It’s contextual: the shield throw ricochets off plasma shields hitting other enemies (feels awesome), it sticks into flesh (stun locking larger demons), or it can shatter armor creating an AOE blast – all with a single button press.

I love analogies: it all adds up to us having fewer strings on the guitar this time – but we added frets to maintain the mechanical depth of the experience, giving the player something new to learn and master.

With all of this, we are relying on familiar FPS inputs to execute these moves, giving the loop an intuitive learning curve. The actions feel impactful and fun to execute, and the results give you a tactical advantage – fun on the outside smart on the inside.

What do the “rings” around enemies indicate?

The yellow rings you see appearing around the characters are falter indicators. “Falters” is a meta in Eternal and 2016.  Great players figured out what caused falters and they started to stack those attacks to stun-lock powerful enemies (which is what we hoped they’d do). It’s important that we clearly identify the moment an enemy falters in Dark Ages so more players can begin to explore what causes it and how they can use it to their advantage. You don’t have to rely on falters to be successful but on higher difficulties it can give you an extra advantage – and if you choose to play on Ultra Nightmare you’ll need every advantage y

Twenty years ago, the original Monster Hunter first introduced players to its ever-expanding arsenal of weapons and memorable monsters. Since then, the series has grown in popularity around the world, and been refined into one of the finest multiplayer experiences gaming has to offer. There’s still a special satisfaction that comes from taking down an unfathomably huge creature by the skin of your teeth,  coordinating with your fellow hunters, and using everyone’s weaponry and abilities skillfully to topple the most fearsome foes out there.

To celebrate 20 years of the series – and Monster Hunter Wilds’ upcoming February 28 release – let’s examine how the series evolved alongside PlayStation since its 2004 debut.

Monster Hunter | PS2

The biggest behemoths often emerge from humble beginnings. The game that started it all was released in Japan in March of 2004, with a North American release a few months later in September and a European release in March of 2005. It introduced the core gameplay that would define Monster Hunter in the decades to come: quest-driven progression, resource gathering and management, weapon and armor crafting, and the need to approach and attack ferocious monsters with strategy, planning, and perseverance to succeed.

By the series’ current standards, Monster Hunter looks a bit sparse, with only seven weapon types and thirty monsters (including many now-famous creatures like the Rathalos), but the game offered quite a bit of variety in quest types and difficulty. Also, the game was designed around online multiplayer when that was still somewhat of a novelty, even offering special event quests that could only be played online.

Monster Hunter did very well in Japan, and while Capcom worked on the follow-up, they released Monster Hunter G, an upgrade with improvements, new features, more monsters, and higher-difficulty quests.

Monster Hunter Dos | PS2

The true Monster Hunter sequel would emerge late into the PS2 era–and only in Japan. Monster Hunter Dos released for the PlayStation 2 in February of 2006, with new weapons, the additions of subquests, a unique day/night and season system, and the addition of armor upgrades, among numerous other small tweaks and improvements. Monster Hunter Dos was warmly received in Japan, and was the final Monster Hunter game on the PS2. But for the larger global market–and the future of Monster Hunter–Capcom was looking towards the PlayStation Portable.

Monster Hunter Freedom | PSP

Even before Monster Hunter Dos launched, Capcom wanted players to be able to take the hunt on the go. Monster Hunter Freedom, known as Monster Hunter Portable in Japan, launched in December of 2005 in Japan and in May of 2006 for the rest of the world. It was based heavily on the aforementioned Monster Hunter G, offering up both new monsters (including the debut of Yian Garuga) and high-lev

What’s next for Insomniac Games

Game Ace Pro / Wednesday, January 22, 2025 0 0

Before we get into offering our perspectives about Ted Price’s long-planned and extremely well-deserved retirement, we want to sincerely thank everyone who has checked in with Insomniac about the state of our employees and Burbank studio during the terrible Los Angeles-area fires. The fires have devastated the communities around us. We continue to focus on supporting each other and communicating daily with Sony Interactive Entertainment to provide the latest information and resources to everyone affected.

Sharing the news that Ted is retiring from Insomniac Games is still just as emotional to type as it has been to think about. The three of us – Chad, Jen and Ryan – have worked closely with Ted for many years. He’s not just our leader, he’s our longtime friend. And a great one at that. Ted will be missed for so many reasons.

One of the great things about Ted is his ability to inspire everyone around him to grow. Ted has also set the ultimate example of how to not just say the right thing, but to do it too. Both with our games and how we behave as leaders and as a studio.

Seeing how Ted operates for decades has prepared us to take on the challenge of stepping into Ted’s enormous, canoe-sized shoes. None of us can nor should try to “be like Ted” though – we must stay true to ourselves and our own leadership styles. However, it’s safe to say we’ll often think to ourselves, “What would Ted do?” as part of our individual and collective decision-making process. 

Now you’re probably wondering, “Well, who exactly are y’all and what should we expect from you going forward?” We want to share a bit more about ourselves, along with some insight into how we’re envisioning our role as co-studio heads.

DC Universe Online introduces new chapter-based story arcs next week

Game Ace Pro / Wednesday, January 22, 2025 0 0

I’m Al Rivera, Creative Director of DC Universe Online, and I’m here today to talk about the exciting narrative changes that are on the way to our beloved MMORPG. Starting with our next update, Light and Rain: Day of Reckoning, our team will be sharing stories over the course of multiple chapters instead of the one-off format that we’ve traditionally taken. What does that mean for players? Let’s get into it!

Show me a comic fan, and I’ll show you a person who appreciates deep narratives told over the long haul. We love one-shot books as much as the next person, but we felt that there was an opportunity for us to lean into what makes comics engaging. That’s why we’re taking a new approach and telling stories through “story arcs” and “chapters.” Chapters are part of a larger story arc, and our premier story arc, Light and Rain, officially begins with the release of its first chapter called Day of Reckoning, which I’m proud to reveal will be available next week.

With Day of Reckoning, Players will be able to experience a completely new narrative experience filled with explosive action and powerful storytelling that you have never seen before in DCUO. We’re excited to see how players respond to the new arc, whether they’re exploring our worlds for the first time or have been with us since we launched on PlayStation 14 years ago. 

As comic fans, we love the community discussions that come between issue releases, and we’re looking forward to seeing the fan theories and speculation that folks will have around DC Universe Online’s narrative. We’ve been sharing Day of Reckoning updates via in-universe posts, and the community has already started sifting through them for hidden nuggets. We’ve worked to ensure that those discussions will continue as players try to predict what’s ahead, what heroes will be swept into the action, and why exactly characters are making difficult and nuanced decisions.

All right, enough talk! We’ve put together a special behind-the-scenes video highlighting what you can expect to see in Day of Reckoning, including the first in-game footage of some of the amazing places that you’ll be able to visit next week. Check it out!
