More Beyond: Two Souls

Oh dear FML, Starfield comes out just a week after Baldur's Gate 3 | PC Gamer WWW.PCGAMER.COM Time to start praying for a strategic delay?

Conte has to go and he can take about 75% of the squad with him. I honestly don't know how Spurs are in 4th place right now and still they could be displaced by Liverpool if they win their game in hand. Another mediocre display last night from the get-go - anyone would think they were playing for a draw despite going out. Need a new manager with an attacking focus. Also need to dispose of the wealth of shit players on the books who will never improve or do anything for the club.

Starfield delayed for a third time Starfield Delayed Again, Launches in September - IGN WWW.IGN.COM Bethesda has delayed Starfield once again, as the game will now launch in September for PC and Xbox Series X and S. There will also be a Starfield Direct on June 11, right after the Xbox Games Showcase. Not a huge delay and likely a tactical move but with Bethesda's track record, it wouldn't surprise me if we see this run into March 2024. Currently 10 months off their original and 'guaranteed' target. I expect 32x the detail now😎

Capcom's big show tomorrow Capcom Spotlight March 2023: How to Watch Live and What to Expect - IGN WWW.IGN.COM Wondering when and where to stream the Capcom Spotlight showcase? Check out all of the details here. and a strong possibility we'll be getting a demo for Resident Evil 4 imminently.

Been a handful of pretty successful remakes in recent years - Resident Evil 2, Dead Space, Demon Souls, Final Fantasy VII, Metroid Prime, Age of Empires 2: Definitive, Mafia, Zelda: Links Awakening, Tony Hawks 1+2 and I was wondering if there was any you wanted to see? Off the top of my head, mine would be:- Dino Crisis - classic PS1 title that was shunted for the Resident Evil series. Grown massively in popularity in recent years and Capcom would be more than capable of pulling it off. Metal Gear Solid 3 - a tough one for Konami to pull off especially without HIdeo Kojima at the helm and despite plenty of rumours of the original and this one possibly being remade, still no sign. Splinter Cell - confirmed by Ubisoft after relentless fan badgering (supply and demand doesn't compute with them) but still nothing in the works - suppose they are working out how to monetise it to death. Red Dead Redemption - As long as it isn't a port by Grove Street Games like GTA Triology, I'd love a rehash of the original with RDR2's engine and world depth. Would be massively successful. Max Payne - Rockstar have been sitting idle on the brand since 3. I hope Remedy rebuy it back one day and remake the original with the technology they have at their disposal. 3 was just GTA without cars. Tony Hawks Pro Skater 3 - they've done 1+2 which were a huge hit but no sign of the third game which was a groundbreaking leap on the PS2 back in the day. Deserves a remake. System Shock 2 - Remake of the original releases this month and hopefully they do the sequel too. First game is quite limited but the second offers way more. Bully - Surprise hit from Rockstar about 15 years ago. Got backseated by other brands and GTA but they could do wonders with a sequel if they had the ambition away from GTA Online. Skyrim - just kidding. 27 versions of this decade old game is more than enough. Please no more Bethesda!

Say no more😎

As other James said , it's a lot less arcadey and definitely has more depth. It doesn't quite have the charm or personality that many of the SIm City games had but it makes up with it for being really expansive. Pity EA killed the Sim City brand really but Skylines is a great successor in the domain and there aren't many of these games around now.

It appears to be 4 teams of 3 players and there's one mode available right now where you capture points, earn money and then have to deposit it at cashout stations. I haven't done much research on it so I dunno what else is on offer but it's very much like The Culling meets Titanfall and Overwatch.

Just played a couple of matches and it seems pretty good fun especially if you have a team. Will take a bit of time to learn the ins and outs plus the combat needs a bit of polishing but other than that, it seems a decent experience. Looks fantastic too and it ran flawelessly on Epic settings. e e

Destruction in the first clip looks nuts

More gameplay

Announced today by Paradox. Also coming to consoles

You can also request access to the closed beta on the Steam Store page which begins tomorrow I believe THE FINALS on Steam STORE.STEAMPOWERED.COM Join THE FINALS, the world-famous, free-to-play, combat-centered game show! Fight alongside your teammates in virtual arenas that you can alter, exploit, and even destroy. Build your own playstyle in this...

Most anticipated shooter of the year coming very soon - free to play and looks very interesting with a strong focus on movement mechanics and destruction. Inspired heavily by Titanfall, Mirrors Edge, Battlefield and Overwatch. Be very interested to give this a shot

Looks really decent and good pool of compatible games right off the bat. I'm holding back though and gonna sit on the fence to see what the adoption rate is in the next couple of years from developers. Certainly not been enough uptake with the Index and Quest 2 so you feel this could be the final crack from the industry as to whether VR is a viable proposition long-term.

Quarry, Terminal, Afghan, Highrise are not (yet) 6v6 maps available in this MW2. There's been detailed interviews with Raven where they talk about how they created the Warzone map and also how Infinity Ward wanted to utilise portions of it to generate 'expansive' content for their part of the product so players can be 'familiar' with all the content on the table. The old rehashed maps that appear in Al Mazrah were just lifted from the OG MW2 so I can't really give much credit to either developer here regardless. IW have also talked about some of the maps they created including a couple from real world locations they visited in person (and then replicated without legal permission) and they don't really mention any of the Warzone ones. The maps they supposedly created are of a pretty strong and distinct visual quality too. Pity there aren't more but the ones lifted from Al Mazrah share an asset library and despite being a higher render as standalone, they aren't as polished by design as IW's very own ones.

Beyond: Two Souls

And as I said, most of those maps are siphoned off the Warzone one by a completely different developer. 4v4 is just 6v6 with different rules that I could've concocted in a private match ruleset from day one and not many core MP players care about raids and other tacked-on crap lifted from other titles which is detracting away from the heart of the game. So what if they've paywalled some extra features - doesn't change the core content and shouldn't be an excuse to spread it thinner especially when most of it isn't even made by Infinity Ward themselves.

Especially as it’s the only paid portion of the game.

I love how Mark was bragging before the game how solid their defence was🤣

Yep, all they’ve done is take away content potential and put it into other modes spreading the game thin. You would’ve thought with so many resources, they could make each potion absolutely laden with content and post-launch support. No new 6v6 maps in 5 months so what’s the excuse there and half the non-6v6 MP content is just siphoned off the Warzone map which was made by a developer completely unrelated to the MP aspect anyway. Vanguard had 20 more maps this time last year so there’s no consistency with the content being delivered across the franchise. IW have been largely anonymous since launch and it’s not like they work on Warzone or DMZ either so there’s no excuse for such a poor showing. It’s caused the majority of players to leave the entire game and Activision to radically change their 2023 approach so clearly it’s had a major impact on what should’ve been a very safe two years of COD. Fortnite already has its 2025 content compiled and these clowns don’t even know what to release in 6 months🤣

Picked this up again today, this time on PC along with Beyond Two Souls which I didn't get round to playing. Although I know the story of Heavy Rain, I'm looking forward to giving it another go after a good 13 years. Along with The Walking Dead game, I think it will go down in history as a very important and unique game of its time.

Man Utd are well and truly back! Masterclass from Erik Almost-Ten Nil Hag
