Imagine this scene:

To be honest, even now, our boss doesn't understand why I'm so interested in "Weather Archive," a free PS VR2 software with an educational nature. You know, from any perspective, there are too many games on the PS VR2 platform that are more "worth" experiencing than it—until last week, I thought so too.

"Control: Resonance" is truly moving towards melee-focused action—this idea has taken deep root in my mind, even after the event ended.

Fuxing Island, located in the eastern part of Shanghai's urban area and downstream of the Huangpu River in southeastern Yangpu District, is a man-made island built in 1927. The island's architecture mainly consists of old industrial factories, with a sparse population and only one park as its sole entertainment facility...

As everyone knows, in Paradox Interactive's simulation games that focus on "historical accuracy" (and heavily modded timelines), the great Eastern power has always been a difficult element to balance—because ancient China was simply too overpowered.

As a classic MMORPG that has been operating for 15 years, Dragon Nest has accompanied countless players through their youth. Meanwhile, the Dragon Nest Classic Server, which launched nearly a year ago, is about to celebrate its anniversary. We were fortunate to interview Xiao Hei, the lead producer of the Dragon Nest Classic Server, discussing various aspects of the game and receiving many sincere answers.

The most absurd joke I've heard this year is that a game's face model must play the game.

At the Nintendo Direct event for third-party publishers in late July, Square Enix, a veteran Japanese developer, secured three presentation slots. In addition to announcing the imminent release of "Dragon Quest I & II Remake," the most significant reveal was naturally "Octopath Traveler 0," which merges the worlds of two mainline titles and the mobile game. In comparison, "Elliott's Thousand-Year Tale," also developed by the "Asano Team," appeared somewhat overshadowed between these two major announcements.

Rumor has it that foreigners have completely lost their minds.

Last year, we published an article introducing Liu Mao Xing, the protagonist of Cooking Master Boy!, who was executed after losing a culinary duel against the villain in the new work, Cooking Master Boy! Extreme.

The PC version of Death Stranding 2: On the Beach is set to release on March 19. However, players' attitudes toward Kojima Productions' latest work go beyond just "playing for fun." In fact, the 3DM editorial team shares this sentiment—we want to know more about Death Stranding 2: On the Beach and the development journey of Kojima Productions.

Recently, I learned a new word—"FOMO".

Thanks to the tireless efforts of various marketing accounts, bloggers, and influencers, our internet has finally reached a state where we must "wait for the dust to settle" before passing judgment on any issue.

With the advent of the mobile era, QR code login has gradually become widespread in major PC games. Compared to traditional username and password login, QR code login eliminates the need to enter passwords on computers, thereby minimizing the risk of account theft or destruction when players use unfamiliar devices.

The Peacock Theater in Los Angeles, located in the L.A. LIVE entertainment complex in downtown Los Angeles, is one of Southern California's most important large indoor venues for performances and awards ceremonies. It is the permanent home of the Emmy Awards, the highest honor in American television, and has also hosted top music awards such as the AMAs and VMAs. For gamers, you may be more familiar with another major event regularly held here: The Game Awards (TGA).

The past year has been quite turbulent for the long-standing sports simulation series, Football Manager. To enhance visual performance and optimize efficiency, developer Sports Interactive announced after the release of Football Manager 2024 that they would abandon their proprietary engine in favor of Unity for future titles. This transition coincided with plans to introduce women's football content for the first time in Football Manager 25, leading to a significant workload backlog and severe development delays. Ultimately, after multiple postponements, Football Manager 25 was canceled earlier this year, leaving players to look forward to Football Manager 26, scheduled for release on November 5th.

An interesting phenomenon is that many current indie games are increasingly pursuing "impact" in their presentation, such as piling on exquisite visuals or music, which makes them look less and less "indie," even gradually losing their "authorship." In fact, today, as the boundary between indie games and commercial games becomes increasingly blurred, discussions about "whether games need authorship" are becoming fewer and fewer.

"If this were a sponsored post, this headline would definitely fail." As I typed those words, I thought to myself.

Good news, my wife Saiqi has finally won the resurrection match.

Since its debut at last year's Nintendo Direct, Nippon Ichi Software's "Tranquil Fields" seems to share a natural rapport with its core audience. This understanding can be summed up as: "I'll just say it, and you'll just listen," or "Don't disbelieve what I say, but don't take it all at face value either."
