Elder Scrolls II remake Daggerfall Unity is now playable

The Elder Scrolls II: Daggerfall first released in 1996. It’s a classic but as you’d expect, it aged badly.
Now, thanks to the power of Unity and some dedicated modders, you can play through the whole main quest.
Daggerfall Unity is a community project that’s aiming to make Daggerfall much more accessible. The project began in August 2014 and is now finally playable, with the main quest available from start to finish.
This is a huge milestone in the project’s lifecycle. With the quest system complete, the team is confident the rest will be less of a challenge.
Next on the list is adding the magic system and water. At that point, development will officially hit the halfway mark and the devs reckon the game will be roughly 75% complete. After that, it’s mainly bugfixes and UI changes.
The Daggerfall Unity community is also rallying around a renewed modding scene, with refreshed textures and meshes appearing.
All of this is combining to bring Daggerfall back from the dead. With recent Elder Scrolls titles having a renowned modding scene, it’s not a shock to see a 20 year old game getting this much love. It just need dragging into modern gaming.
Daggerfall released to critical acclaim. Widely viewed as a ‘flawed masterpiece’, it won plenty of awards but suffered from bugs.
With 15,000 settlements and 750,000 NPCs, it’s massive. Although most of this is procedurally generated, there’s plenty to see and do.
As a predecessor to Morrowind, it has the same hardcore DNA. You’ll find no quest markers or fast travel here. It also brings back the popular spell-creation and enchantment system, which can allow for some truly overpowered moments.
It also has many more sandbox elements. While you can do the usual exploring, killing and stealing, there’s much more. Take out a loan. Buy a house. Default on the loan and run from the debt collectors. You can even buy a boat.
What’s even more exciting is the potential for modding. By using the Unity engine, Daggerfall Unity will act as an excellent foundation to build on. Daggerfall had a decent mod scene that will surely expand as this launches.

Sony Has a “Monopoly” on the High-End Japanese Gaming Market, According to a US Senator

The never-ending saga surrounding Microsoft’s proposed $69 billion acquisition of Activision Blizzard has a new participant. Today, Senator Maria Cantwell, a Democrat from the state of Washington, said some things about the subject that were hard to understand.
The senator, whose remarks were reported on by ResetEra, spoke at a Senate finance committee hearing on “the president’s 2023 Trade Policy Plan,” which we are sure was quite interesting.
Senator Cantwell said that she had been told that Sony “controls a monopoly of 98% of the high-end game market” despite the fact that “Japan’s government has allowed Sony to engage in blatant anti-competitive conduct through exclusive deals and payments to game publishers, establishing games that are among the most popular in Japan.”
This 98% statistic is highly deceptive because it ignores PC, Nintendo, and mobile games and instead refers to Sony’s adoption rate over Microsoft in Sony’s native country of Japan, a fact that shouldn’t surprise anyone who is even somewhat familiar with the video game business.
What can we do to rectify these problems and create a level playing field, she said of US Trade Representative Katherine Tai after charging Japan’s Federal Trade Commission with improperly failing to look into this purported “exclusionary conduct”?
It is absurd to claim that Sony has a monopoly on the Japanese video game market, as Luke Plunkett of Kotaku correctly points out, “because Sony doesn’t even have a 98% share of the market for the God of War series, a title they own, as Steam is getting 30% of every sale on PC.”
It goes without saying that we can’t expect elected officials to be experts in every field, but this is a visible step at a time when the ongoing attempt to buy the company is at a very important point.
Is it significant that Microsoft, along with Nintendo, maintains its headquarters in Redmond, Washington—Senator Cantwell’s district—or that Microsoft has given Cantwell more than $500,000 over the past two decades? Let us leave that up to you.

Eating trash, Pizza Possum destroys the PS5

Pizza Possum is an arcade action game in which you, a possum, attempt to consume as much trash as you can without being discovered. It is a web-based sequel to the anarchy simulator Untitled Goose Game.It will eventually be available on the PS5.
We couldn’t help but notice that the possum in the title doesn’t look like the cute Australian possum that comes out at night to visit people.On the other hand, it looks like the horrible North American opossums are the ones that will attack trash cans and cause general chaos.Even though we think the second choice was better in terms of theme, we prefer the first one and are happy to explain why.
Your thoughts on Pizza Possum? Does it possess the necessary mass appeal to successfully skitter along the back fenceline while setting the dog off in the process?
