Tom Ivan with VGC reports that The Last of US remake for the PS5 is allegedly due to release in the later half of this year. Tom Henderson is claiming this but VGC is corroborating information from its own sources. Tom Henderson said this in his tweet, “Heard from multiple people now that the TLOU remake is nearly finished and could release during the latter half of 2022,” he added in another tweet, “With TLOU2 MP and TLOU 2 directors cut – I’ve heard they are coming too – But I don’t know exactly when/how. Them all releasing together could be a good compromise if GOW got delayed to Q1 2023 – But that’s just speculation on my end for the moment,” then finally said, “But I think the overall goal here is to drum up hype for the HBO show, so we’ll see what happens…” The remake was supposedly being worked on by PlayStation’s Visual Arts Service Group but was taken over by Naughty Dog themselves.
As reported by Eddie Makuch with Gamespot, BioWare’s wants to rebuild its reputation. In a blogpost Gary McKay says, “”Continuing to work under the pressure of a world pandemic has not been easy. We’ve had to adopt new tools, processes, and ways to communicate. We’re all balancing personal time and work, and each person is dealing with their own unique situation,” McKay added. “The biggest challenge continues to be the uncertainty of it all, which makes everyone’s life more difficult and makes it hard to plan for the future.” Blaming the pandemic is becoming a common refrain for developers struggling to get games out, and rightly so. Bioware is changing some of its workplace policies in the face of challenges related to covid, adopting a hybrid model where some employees work from the offices and some work remotely. As well prospective employees in North America have the option of working anywhere they want, whereas previously the company required employees to relocate to Austin, Texas, or Edmonton, Canada. Regarding the poster that was released by the developer on N7 day, a day to celebrate the Mass Effect series, the poster teased a few bits of information for the game, and this is what Gary McKay had to say about the poster, “”If you look closely, there are a handful of hidden treats; by my count, there are at least five surprises, all of which point to an amazing future in the Mass Effect universe.”
Alessandro Barbosa with Gamespot reports that a patch for Alan Wake Remastered has introduced an audio bug. Thomas Puha, Remedy Entertainment’s communications director tweeted this out on how to deal with the bug, “We are aware there is an unfortunate audio bug introduced in the latest update on PlayStation platforms. The workaround to avoid this bug is to either use a headset connected to the controller, or set the audio settings to 2ch LPCM.” Though some responses in the tweet indicate that using the headset plugged in doesn’t actually fix the issue for them.
Game releases for next week:
For the PC we will see Monster Hunter Rise January 12th, Wednesday, which will hopefully see some graphical upgrades over the Switch version. On Thursday, January 13th we’ll see The Anacrusis release on the Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, and PC. And probably one of the bigger console to pc ports for the year we will see the release of God of War January 14th, Friday.
