Crimson Desert sieht für viele einfach "zu gut aus, um wahr zu sein". Eine riesige Open World, wunderschöne Animationen und Kämpfe, die alles in den Schatten stellen sollen. Aber wie gut ist es wirklich? Michi hat das Action Adventure 6 Stunden lang auf Herz und Nieren getestet und kann nun auspacken. Vom Wortkargen Hauptcharakter über die Verbindungen zum MMO Black Desert Online bis zum Kampfsystem: Wir klären ob das Spiel hält was die Trailer versprechen.

Nach dem doch eher schweren, abschreckenden Einstieg im Solo-Modus hätte ich nie gedacht, dass mich Nioh 3 doch so sehr packen kann. Das aus den Vorgängern bekannte, fantastisch schnelle Gameplay wurde erweitert durch die Ninja-Samurai Form, zwischen der man mittels Knopfdruck jederzeit hin und her wechseln kann. Auch die neue “Open World”, die sich über mehrere Bereiche erstreckt, motiviert ungemein: Überall lassen sich Charakter-Upgrades, Gegner, Bosse und Truhen finden, die einen mit massiv viel Loot versorgen. Das führt allerdings dazu, dass man sich sehr schnell überlevelt, wodurch die Gebiete im Vergleich zu den Missionen der Vorgänger keine große Herausforderung mehr sind. Apropos Missionen: Auch diese sind im Spiel weiterhin vorhanden und können über die Schreine jederzeit gestartet werden, ebenso wie Wiederholungen der Storymissionen. Ebenfalls ein Highlight ist der Koop-Modus: Mit bis zu zwei weiteren Mitstreitern kann man sich bei Bossen aushelfen oder auf Expeditionen gehen, um die offene Welt und die Missionen gemeinsam zu erkunden. Gerade Einsteiger des Franchises profitieren davon, allerdings sind selbst die Bosse dann keine Herausforderung mehr. Nichtsdestotrotz steht der Spielspaß an erster Stelle und hier hat Koei Tecmo auf ganzer Linie abgeliefert!

This week on Gamertag Radio, Crimson Desert hands-on impressions with special guest Kevin Kenson. We dive deep into out experiences with the upcoming game.  Discuss the game's mechanics, the learning curve for players, and the overall experience, and the importance of player patience in exploring in this game.Send us questions - fanmail@gamertagradio.com | Speakpipe.com/gamertagradio or 786-273-7GTR.

In today's Daily Fix:The internet is apparently worried that the upcoming Resident Evil: Requiem will ditch the series' spooky corridor environments for a full open world. Speaking with Game Informer, the game's director wanted to make clear that the game will not be 'open world.' If you're curious as to how this game will handle the dual protagonist switching, check out our preview now up on IGN. In other news, actor Eman Ayaz has posted a video to her personal YouTube page lamenting the cancellation of a project she was involved with, and it sounds an awful lot like the Prince of Persia remake. And finally, expect a new Nintendo Direct this Thursday.

Nach der Xbox Developers Direct diskutieren Micha und Felix über die gezeigten Spiele - darunter endlich Neueigkeiten zum Open-World-Rollenspiel Fable und zu Forza Horizon 6. Beide machen schon mal einen sehr interessanten Eindruck - im Gegensatz zu Beast of Reincarnation und dem neuen Double-Fine-Spiel.

Unisciti alla ribellione su Telegram – Iscriviti alla newsletter – Supportaci su Patreon Da che GTA III ha sdoganato l'approccio un po' tutto il mercato si è messo ad inseguire. Solo che sotto il cappello dell'open world ci finiscono dentro sia Shadow of the Colossus che gli Spider-Man di Treyach da una certa in poi, ci finisce roba che sfrutta effettivamente il mondo per raccontare cose (RDR2, i due Zelda per Switch, Death Stranding...) e roba dove sembra che 'sta roba si sia fatta un po' per moda, come per esempio boh, il giochino dei russi (al secolo Atomic Heart). Nessuno ha mai disegnato per bene una mappa dell'Open World, insomma. Per fortuna esiste Gameromancer.

The Yotei Three are here to give you a full deep dive review of the latest Sucker Punch title: Ghost of Yotei. Following up approx. 300 years after the events of Ghost of Tsushima we follow Atsu on a mission of revenge and spirit! This title was fantastic and we have lots of thoughts on how this game hit us. Too many birds? Too few wolves?

In today's Daily Fix:Developers at Pearl Abyss have dropped some details on the world of Crimson Desert. Via the Gaming Interviews YouTube channel, the devs had specified that the open world of Crimson Desert is about twice as large as Skyrim's, and larger as a whole than Red Dead Redemption 2. But they're aware that a large, empty world is no fun to play in, so the game will be 'incredibly interactive.' In other news, Larian Studios did an AMA on Reddit, and the company confirmed their upcoming Divinity RPG will have co-op. You will also be able to make meaningful changes to the story. And finally, fans of BioWare's Anthem are rallying to save the game ahead of server closures next week. The game was an infamous misfire for BioWare, and it never really found an audience large enough to support the game's live-service ambitions. But fans are working to get custom servers up, as the game will go offline permamently when the last official serviers go dark on Monday.

Die Freude über die Rückkehr der klassischen Lara ist riesig, doch ein Detail in den aktuellen Plänen bereitet uns echte Bauchschmerzen. AK, Natalie und Tobi diskutieren, ob das Franchise vor einem grandiosen Comeback steht oder ob die Entwickler gerade einen entscheidenden Fehler begehen.

Künstliche Intelligenz verändert gerade alles – aber macht sie Spiele wirklich besser? Wir sprechen heute über Ubisofts Experimente mit "Project Teammates" und dem KI-Game-Master "Jasper". Gamestar Tech Experte Jan konnte die Demo bereits spielen und teilt seine ungeschönten Eindrücke. Von NPCs, die Sarkasmus nicht verstehen, bis hin zu Momenten echter Immersion, die an "Westworld" erinnern. Vera von Tech like Vera, KI-Experte Tim und Tobi von der GamePro analysieren, was technisch möglich ist, wo die Grenzen liegen und warum ein KI-NPC manchmal einfach "Nein" sagt.

Müssen wir wirklich bis 2031 auf Fallout 5 warten? Host Felix diskutiert mit den Experten Tillmann und Valentin, ob die legendäre Endzeit-Reihe ihre Seele verloren hat oder durch die Amazon-Serie gerade erst wiedergeboren wird. Wir analysieren knallhart, was Bethesda bei Fallout 4 & 76 versäumt hat und werten eure Community-Umfrage aus: Was muss Teil 5 bieten, um die Fans zu retten – Fahrzeuge, Multiplayer oder endlich wieder tiefgründige RPG-Mechaniken?

Das Free2Play-Action-RPG Where Winds Meet begeistert mit seinem atemberaubenden Wuxia-Setting, fliegenden Kämpfen und massiven Spielerzahlen. Doch das Spiel von Everstone Studio ist auch ein Chaos: Überforderung im Menü und vor allem ein kontroverses Time-Gating sorgen für Frust. GameStar-Host Lea spricht mit Jonas und MMO-Experte Karsten (MeinMMO) über Hype, harte Kritik und die 42.000-Euro-Yacht. Wer sollte einsteigen – und wer die Finger davon lassen?

In this special Cloud Wars interview, Oracle Executive Vice President for Applications Development Steve Miranda joins Bob Evans to discuss how Oracle's transformation from CloudWorld to AI World signals a seismic leap in enterprise technology. Miranda shares how Oracle has delivered more than 600 agents, launched the Agent Studio and Marketplace, and unified AI capabilities across its Fusion Applications and industry verticals. The result: a powerful convergence of data, intelligence, and automation driving the next wave of business transformation.AI-driven EnterpriseThe Big Themes:Oracle's Next Seismic Shift: Oracle's renaming of CloudWorld to AI World isn't a branding exercise, it's a declaration. Just as “OpenWorld” and “CloudWorld” reflected past technology revolutions, “AI World” marks Oracle's belief that AI represents a shift of even greater magnitude. Miranda describes this era as one where automation and intelligence redefine enterprise operations. Oracle's applications division is now delivering hundreds of AI-driven agents and features at unprecedented speed.Agents Everywhere: In just two years, Oracle has gone from announcing 50 generative AI features to delivering over 600 agents across its Fusion and vertical applications. These agents automate tasks, surface insights, and optimize processes, often eliminating manual decision-making entirely. Oracle's rapid release cadence (quarterly updates backed by Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI)) means customers constantly inherit new capabilities without disruption.OCI, the Engine: Oracle's leadership in hosting and training large language models within Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) gives its applications a built-in edge. Customers automatically benefit from the latest AI tools, performance improvements, and model upgrades without manual migration. OCI's second-generation architecture, featuring Exadata, cloud-native identity, and networking, delivers both reliability and continuous innovation.The Big Quote: “For many of our customers, it's great timing to have AI delivery, because they've gone live. They've gone through multiple phases. They're on the cloud. They're used to getting quarterly updates. Now, this is a big thing, but they're used to that people part of the transformation." Visit Cloud Wars for more.

This week we're bridging two worlds of storytelling that couldn't be more different - but both pack an emotional punch:Together - A powerful film about connection, relationships, and what it truly means to be there for someone. We unpack the performances, the raw emotion, and why this one will stick with you long after the credits roll.Ghost of Yōtei - The highly anticipated follow-up in the legendary samurai saga takes us to new heights. We're discussing the gameplay reveals, the stunning visuals, what we know about our new protagonist, and how it compares to its predecessor.

Alex Moss and Burton DeWitt are back with a new episode of your go-to darts podcast! The boys start this week's show with a look back at last weekend's Czech Darts Open and discuss whether the world number one Luke Humphries is back to his best after winning the title in Prague, as well as whether Josh Rock is the next first-time PDC major winner after reaching back-to-back European Tour finals. Dave Davies (18:35) calls in to look back on a breakthrough 2025 on the oche. The Welshman reflects on winning the Champion of Champions and his first PDC title on the Challenge Tour last month, as well as his career in the game so far, from switching football for darts, his friendship with the former world champion Mark Webster, representing Wales, and his plans for the rest of the year. Alex and Burton continue the show by reviewing last weekend's PDC Development Tour action in Wigan and pick out the players who caught their eye, before previewing the World Series of Darts Finals in Amsterdam this weekend and choosing the first-round ties they're most looking forward to. Mitchell Lawrie (1:07:58) joins the show to reflect on his recent record-breaking weekend on the WDF circuit. The Scottish teenager discusses his title double in the Welsh Open last month, breaking Luke Littler's record and becoming the youngest winner of the Welsh Open men's title at just 14 years old, his glittering youth career so far winning the WDF Europe Youth Cup boys' singles this summer, topping the JDC Foundation Tour in 2024 and picking up his first Advanced Tour title earlier this year, and his goals for the rest of 2025.
