In an exclusive interview with GamesBeat, Dark Horse Games’ general manager Johnny Lee explained that Dark Horse will create games through licensing deals with other studios. It’s apparently already in talks with several (albeit unnamed) studios to make triple-A games based on Dark Horse’s most famous properties, which will be released across consoles, PC, mobile, and cloud-based services. And if all goes well, Lee believes these games could start to appear as early as the end of next year’s first quarter....

RELATED: Best Recurring Boss Battles The sets were better off taken apart and used individually, which made all of the min-max players look like they got dressed after a romp through the dumpster of a Spirit store after Halloween. Other gamers sacrificed the best stats for using a whole armor set to look cohesive. This article compiles the results of the discovery process in the field of which sets worked and did not work, both visually and functionally....

A mod is in development for Dark Souls 2 that completely revamps the game’s lighting. Not your typical post-processing additions, the mod aims to rewrite the game’s shaders and replace them with better, higher-quality techniques. RELATED: Dark Souls 2: All Reapers, Ranked Stayd, a self-taught lighting artist and graphics programmer, is currently undertaking the task of remastering the entire game’s lighting. With a few relatively small but massively important tweaks, the game suddenly takes on a new life....

The invasion feature of Dark Souls 3 has been the subject of some criticism, with certain players hacking the system to give their character game-breaking advantages, such as turning their character into a flying archer. Bandai Namco hasn’t done itself any favors in quelling its customers anger over the rampant hacking, as its attempt to police the online portion of the game led to many innocent players being banned for cheating simply because they had been invaded by a hacker....

The war of words, which started with Mithali alleging that Powar was out to destroy her, intensified on Wednesday when the coach, in his tour report, questioned her conduct during the tournament in the West Indies. India were knocked out following a semifinal loss to England, a match from which Mithali was controversially dropped despite being fit. Mithali reacted to Powar’s report by posting a brief statement on her official Twitter page on Thursday....

Going off of publisher THQ Nordic’s description of Darksider: Genesis, the game will be an action-adventure dungeon crawler played from an isometric camera angle. Players will slaughter their way through demons and monsters, collecting loot as they go. However, it’s unclear how much of a balance Darksiders Genesis finds between a looter like Diablo 3 and say an adventure-puzzler like the Lara Croft games. One big question left to be answered is with regards to multiplayer....

Daryl Gates, the tough-talking L.A. police chief who had already agreed to step down after the furor over the Rodney King videotape, was under fire again last week for the LAPD’s slow response to the rioting. In a soon-to-be published book, Gates admits the cops who beat King went too far. But he also blasts the public and politicians for not giving police more support. An excerpt: The American public needs to grow up....

So what is the point? Making music from buildings isn’t that new an idea. In 2004 the German industrial group Einstürzende Neubauten played a concert in—and on—the skeleton of the Parliament building of the former German Democratic Republic. It was a defiant symbol of victory over the forces of oppression. Still, it was just a performance by a band for an audience. In Byrne’s interactive work, the visitor is as integral to the piece as the building itself....

That is the view of former F1 driver David Coulthard, who thinks reports linking Fernando Alonso to the world champion team are wide of the mark.“His manager did what any good manager should do — talk with all of the teams,” the Scot, a Red Bull consultant, told the Dutch magazine Formule 1. “Fernando is undoubtedly frustrated that he is not winning as often as someone of his ability would expect....

What’s not surprising is how quickly he managed ramp up the dialogue even further. The outspoken director might see a stiff challenge in remedying the ills of digitally distributed games - he previously told GamesIndustry that microtransactions wrongly force players to “pay with their time or pay with their money” - but a new interview with the website has him painting a bleaker future for the sales of consoles: Jaffe thinks they’ll be dead within 10 years....

England ended their Ashes campaign with a spectacular batting collapse on day three of the final Test in Hobart. Although the visitors started their 271 run-chase well, putting on 68 runs for the opening wicket, they were bowled out for 124. In his column for the Daily Mail, Lloyd feels Saqib Mahmood deserves a Test spot; but says England’s batting needs strengthening. He opined that Liam Livingstone and Jonny Bairstow must be part of the team’s rebuild....

Fortunately, there are only a couple aces starting, so there are still plenty of potential sleepers to choose from in FanDuel or DraftKings contests. Pick on A.J. Griffin in Toronto, go after Jose Berrios in Houston, load your lineup with Cardinals against Jeremy Hellickson – any of those strategies could be highly effective. It’s just one of those days.

It’s an exciting day here with the DFS Playbook, as I have finally fully incorporated weighted bullpen projections into my model. I’ve been using 11-category bullpen projections for most of this season, but as of today we’ve upped that to include all batted-ball and advanced metrics we need for DFS. In the past we have been only jumping on the outlier numbers for the terrible bullpens, but now important factors such as rest/usage rates are being automatically included in both our hitter and pitcher models....
