505 Games recently released Naval Assault: The Killing Tides, a submarine-based action shooter inspired by the aquatic battles and subs of World War II. It's an accessible and suspenseful title by a developer who's been kicking out code since 1982.
After the game went gold, we had an opportunity to chat with Antonio Santamaria, Head of Engineering at Artech Studios, about the historical settings of Naval Assault, the team's past experience, and whether or not players will get to sink those dastardly U-Boats.
The creator of the Cyberpunk 2077 VR mod CD Projekt recently hit with a DMCA strike has paused his Patreon page and pulled access to all his mods after receiving another strike from a different publisher.
The news that Digital Bros. (and its publishing subsidiary 505 Games ) is in the process of restructuring is not new. It was last November when, in the midst of the maelstrom of layoffs in 2023, they announced that they were laying off 30% of the workforce , especially employees belonging to the development studios. This restructuring, like the international maelstrom, seems to be still underway and now affects the offices of the Italian multinational located throughout Europe.
Its callled spring cleaning, freshing up to change in the world
505 Games has issued a very self-aware satirical update for Crime Boss: Rockay City, given the poor reception to the game.
I would of checked it out but far as i know its an online gta5 type game. Had it been single player inwouldve bought I to try by now
I play it as a single player from the start. Game is massively updated. Its much better than when it started. But has its flaws of course. And its not gta 5 type game. Its totally different. Here, it is something like heist centered defender of the crown mixed with rogue lite genre. Definitely worth it.
Of course with some friends, it would be much more fun.
It's no secret that it won't flush. It's pathetic and something just about every actor on that roster will likely not mention with serious excitement or promote it themselves. The cringe is the talent that went snuggling up to it for the $$$ opportunity. So lame and backyard buddy homebrew-level feeling. Total cash grab. Minimum efforts all around. Nice Hollywood reverse engineering a plot based on their talent pool to carry a game into lame territory.
Game was ass.
Bought it to give it a try and it was beyond dead, as was the discord server.
Impossible to play online.
Good interview. They picked a bad week to release the game though.
