Summary

  • With rideable horses, you can travel across the map much faster, making those long-distance journeys easier and more efficient with your time.
  • Build them a safe place in or around your base and be sure to feed them if you expect them to survive the night.
  • Rust Console Edition is available to play today for Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S.

Howdy, survivors! Our western-style content update, conveniently named Horsepocalypse, is making its way to Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S.
This free update will be available for Rust Console Edition starting August 31, with the monthly wipe. Y’all wanted this so bad, we couldn’t help but listen. So, brush off them hats and lace up those boots, because we’re gonna take you through each shiny new feature comin’ to town!


Rideable Horses


This game changing feature is about to turn Rust Console Edition into a whole new experience. Horses have been part of the game since we first released it, but now you can ride them and equip them with equipment like Horseshoes and Saddles to make them faster or more durable. With rideable horses, you can travel across the map much faster, making those long-distance journeys easier and more efficient with your time.
Horses come in 10 different breeds. Some are speedy, while others are sturdier. And they’re not just tools — you’ll need to take good care of them! Build them a safe place in or around your base and be sure to feed them if you expect them to survive the night. In return, they’ll be loyal companions, sticking by your side in the toughest of challenges.

New Monument Safe Zones


Also rollin’ into town with this update are two new safe zone monuments. Yep, you heard it right! These new safe zones are the Large Barn and the Ranch, and you must be wondering, “what can I do there?” Well, partner, you can get all sorts of horse gear like Saddles, Horse Armor (of course we made horse armor), and Horseshoes. And guess what? You can even get your hands on one of the six horses hangin’ around the place. All you gotta do is buy a Saddle from the vendor and walk yourself over to the stable. Once there, pick your favorite stallion, slap that saddle on it, and… it’s yours!
Mind you, both the Large Barn and the Ranch are peaceful zones for both survivors and horses, so no weapons are allowed inside. If you decide to act all rowdy, the turrets will quickly put a stop to your mean-spirited acts.

NPC Missions


Horsepocalypse will also introduce NPC missions! Now, don’t you worry, especially if you’re just starting out your survival adventures. These missions are like a friendly guide to help you learn about different aspects of the game, such as gathering resources, hunting ,and fishing. And the real kicker is that some of these missions hand out rewards that can really speed up your progress in-game, putting you ahead of the competition.
So, next time you step onto that island, don’t forget to give some of these missions a try. Trust me, it’s a mighty good time!

See 64 Beautiful Screenshots From Super Mario Bros. Wonder

We recently learned a lot about Super Mario Bros. Wonder thanks to Thursday’s Nintendo Direct, our first hands-on preview, and our interview with producer Takashi Tezuka and director Shiro Mouri. But maybe you’d like to see more?

In addition to new footage and other info, Nintendo released the 64 Super Mario Bros. Wonder screenshots below. Check them out and bask in all those lovely colors.

The screenshots highlight all the way that Nintendo manages to infuse its upcoming platformer with the sense of joy and (ahem) wonder that the series is known for. It also includes glimpses of the world map, the full cast, and the Elephant Mario power-up that everyone seems to like so much (but Shigeru Miyamoto didn’t like so much).

If you want to see Super Mario Bros. Wonder in action, you can also check out our full preview below.

Super Mario Bros. Wonder was first announced earlier this year. It’s a fresh take on the New Super Mario Bros. formula, bringing with it online co-op multiplayer and other features. It definitely leans into the weirder side of Mario, even allowing you to play as a Goomba.

Super Mario Bros. Wonder is the capper to a banner year for the plumber, which has also seen the opening of a new theme park and an animated movie that has grossed more than a billion dollars. Not too bad! It’s slated to launch October 20 on Nintendo Switch.

Can a Game Make You Turn the Controller Upside Down?

Hi! This is Alfonso del Cerro from Pentadimensional Games.

Today I will comment on one of the many experimental features included in our recent game Tenebris Pictura. Can a game make you turn the controller upside down? Keep on reading to find the answer (spoiler: the answer is yes but some players will refuse to do it).

In Tenebris Pictura you play the role of Magnus, a paranormal investigator with psychic abilities (like the ultra-corporeal travel, i.e., the ability to separate body and soul) who has to explore an island, hunting demons and solving puzzles, under a mystery atmosphere in the Victorian era. The game is very diverse and boasts a wide variety of gameplay mechanics. One of them will make you (maybe) turn your controller upside down.

At one stage, a powerful transdimensional entity called Thronaton attacks Magnus and the hero asks his four horses for help. The four equine friends can also detach their souls from their bodies, so the ultra-corporeal battle is served: Magnus and his four horses versus Thronaton.

The horses are placed on screen from left to right and you control them, evading Thronaton’s attacks and striking back. The first revolutionary feature of the battle is that you have to control the four horses all at once, with the four parts of the controller: the first one with the left stick, the second one with the d-pad, the third one with the right stick and the fourth and final one with the ABXY front buttons. This allows you to evade (left or right) and attack (pressing up) with two, three or up to four horses at the same time. Yes, you read that right. The term “finger gymnastics” acquires a new significance when you realize that you have to release your controller and place it on a surface to be able to move four characters simultaneously.

Despite the apparent difficulty, every player understands intuitively what he/she has to do, because the disposition of the horses on screen is equal to the disposition of the four parts of the controller that move them… At least, until the second confrontation. In that one, horror!, Thronaton turns the screen upside down and now the four horses are reversed with respect to the controller. Meanwhile, an on-screen tutorial informs you of the only solution: turning the controller upside down. Here is where most players I’ve seen in playtest sessions break out laughing and feel a mixture of tension, incredulity and concentration as they do what the game tells them to do. These are the most deliberately uncomfortable controls ever made in a console game as far as I know. Other players refuse to do it and (with greater difficulty), they mentally reverse the controls. The game lets them do so, of course. It has no way of telling them apart.

This minigame is only a small sample of the many original mechanics that we have introduced in the island of Tenebris Pictura so that you can find and enjoy them, like leaping into paintings, surviving the spontaneous teleport of the player, solving puzzles via tearing down the walls of the room, or chasing movable doors and windows in the Mansion of Madness. And rest assured, you can play most of them while grabbing the controller properly. The game is out now and you can watch the trailer above.

Presenting Tenebris Pictura, an ultra-corporeal action adventure brought to you by the creators of Megaton Rainfall.

You’ll be plunged back to the Victorian era, playing the role of a paranormal investigator with psychic abilities who has landed in a misty, convoluted island, brimming with mystery. You were invited there by an old friend, to investigate his daughter’s disappearance. Before long, you’re embroiled in a supernatural mystery linked with a shady sect, and sightings of extra-terrestrial beings that appear to have escaped from a strange collection of paintings with dubious origins.

DEFY THE UNKNOWN BEASTS

Conceal your body from danger and separate your soul to face the demon hordes. Dodge their barrages of ectoplasm and counter-attack with your psychic energy blasts…

But that won’t be enough! You need to move the objects around and get your surroundings strategically prepared. You’ll discover and learn how to use your strange skills and tricks to divide and conquer, stopping your enemies’ progress in spite of being massively outnumbered.

SOLVE TRANS-DIMENSIONAL PUZZLES

On this island, the laws of nature seem to be crumbling: disappearing floors transport you to far-away galaxies, moving walls, illusions and lights that create the environment in their wake, transportable worlds found inside paintings…

A huge variety of puzzles to scramble your mind presented in a non-linear order, designed to accept multiple creative solutions.

EXPLORE A UNIQUE ISLAND

Use the Aeter Pendulum to find murky presences in areas scattered across the island: misty forests, infested buildings and mansions with spooky basements that appear to have been used as laboratories for the paranormal.

Use your psychic abilities to find clues revealing what is about to happen on the island…

Are you ready to lose yourself in a Victorian fantasy loaded with secrets and worlds within worlds?

Shigeru Miyamoto Didn’t Like Elephant Mario’s Original Design in Super Mario Bros. Wonder

By all accounts, Nintendo game design legend Shigeru Miyamoto is a polite, kind person. Nevertheless, when I had the rare opportunity to interview two leads on Nintendo’s upcoming new flagship 2D Mario game, Super Mario Bros. Wonder, I had to know: what notes does Miyamoto – the guy that created Mario and the lion’s share of my generation’s best childhood gaming memories – give to the Wonder development team?

Director Shiro Mouri and producer Takashi Tezuka gave an honest, insightful answer into Miyamoto’s role in the process. “With Wonder in particular, it wasn’t like Mr. Miyamoto was in our hip pocket during this whole time whispering in our ears or anything like that,” Tezuka said.

“Sometimes he would come by where we are working and look at things and give some opinions. He would generally observe things and make comments here and there, and even things that didn’t seem like they were big comments – I have worked with Mr. Miyamoto for a long time and really understand him, so I was able to get what he was implying or getting to and we would have conversations around those sorts of topics.”

“He did have a comment about Elephant Mario,” Mouri-san interjected, referencing one of the new forms Mario can take in Wonder.

“It was a phase where we still had tentative visuals for Elephant Mario, and we had plans to adjust the visuals already, but he had come and taken a look before that and he gave us the sharp comment that ‘This doesn’t look like a Mario character.’ Along the same topics, there was the idea of how Elephant Mario sprays water, he came and said that if an elephant was actually spraying water, it wouldn’t move that way, and that was an example of feedback he gave us.”

Elephant Mario is proving popular with fans

While Miyamoto isn’t as involved with day-to-day game development, he remains notorious for his pointed feedback and is known for his strong feelings around storytelling and other features. He elaborated a bit on some of his feelings in that regard in an interview with IGN from earlier this year.

Despite Miyamoto’s feelings, Elephant Mario is proving to be a hit with fans. Many were amused by the sight of Elephant Mario crushing poor Yoshi, among visual gags. We also got to see plenty more power-ups during the 15-minute Nintendo Direct.

I played Super Mario Bros. Wonder for an hour last week, ahead of my interview with Mouri and Tezuka. Don’t miss my hands-on impressions, as well as more from my conversation with Wonder’s director and producer, including how the development team started with over 1000 ideas for Wonder effects.

Ryan McCaffrey is IGN’s executive editor of previews and host of both IGN’s weekly Xbox show, Podcast Unlocked, as well as our monthly(-ish) interview show, IGN Unfiltered. He’s a North Jersey guy, so it’s “Taylor ham,” not “pork roll.” Debate it with him on Twitter at @DMC_Ryan.

Embracer close Volition, developer of Red Faction and Saints Row

Embracer Group have announced that they’re closing down Volition, the Illinois, US-based developer best known today for Saints Row and Red Faction. The announcement – which coincided with the predictably uproarious lifting of Starfield’s review embargo, though I’m sure the timing is purely accidental – comes as part of broader restructuring at Embracer Group following a multiple-year acquisition spree, which Alice0 reported on in June.
