Great PR once again Bungie as they are at it again Bungie confirms it stole art once again, will undertake a 'thorough review' of Marathon assets | PC Gamer WWW.PCGAMER.COM Update: Bungie lays the blame on a former artist. What's wrong with these big companies that they have to stoop so low? Maybe they could just move up in the world and use AI instead if they are that starved of basic ideas🤣

Reviews are coming in and the game is out shortly. Seems to be a fairly positive reception. At £70 for the base-game, I think I will wait for a very deep sale. Absolutely Absurd pricing.

Beta access has begun but I think I'll give it a miss. Final product looks pretty shambolic and about 10 years out of date. Nowhere near the standard that was initially portrayed. A real shame because it's a decent price and a good concept but I'm just not as forgiving with these jank-fests these days.

Arsenal game was not quite as entertaining but my god did they miss some chances early on and paid the price. I actually thought they could turn it around and win quite comfortably and they could've achieved that within the first 20 minutes. PSG scoring first and then getting a foothold made things really hard and although Saka missed a good chance to set up a tense finale, it was never a close contest as the game wore on. Spurs better not balls it up tonight!

I've played about 12 hours so far and I can comfortably say this is one of the best games of the generation so far. The world design is stunning, the story is intriguing, the characters and voice acting is top tier and the writing is fantastic. Even the music is stunningly beautiful. The combat is great fun as it combines what you'd normally see in a JRPG, but with interactive QTE moments enabling you to dodge, parry and counterattack, rather than let the computer and RNG determine it for you. You have to learn enemy move-sets like you would typically in the likes of Sekiro and this can be a challenge in itself along with timing the inputs perfectly within the small window available. The game is pretty linear at its core but this is good as it cuts out all the open world crap that plagues modern games. There's no filler here - everything flows incredibly well and you are constantly engaged especially with the characters and the remarkable story. To think just 30 people made this using Unreal 5 and it's only just over 50gb is absolutely crazy! Expedition 33 is just so far ahead of what any other AAA developer can churn out now, it is quite frankly embarrassing for the likes of Ubisoft and BioWare. It'll be a huge wake-up call for Final Fantasy too. It's games like this that make actually save the industry. The fact it's only £30-40 when AAA games are to be pushing £75-80 makes this an essential purchase. I'm also glad the shadow-release of Oblivion Remastered hasn't hampered its success - 2m copies sold in 12 days and it's the fastest selling game of its kind even ahead of Final Fantasy, Persona and Yakuza.

I really enjoyed the game last night and it was refreshing to see football played in its purest form outside of this horrendous slow-paced tippy tappy posession-based way we usually see today. PSG did the same last week and it was brutally effective and great to watch.

Lots of screenshots Grand Theft Auto 6 dropped a whopping 84 brand-new screenshots and illustrations, and here's every single one | PC Gamer WWW.PCGAMER.COM Leonida's people and places all in one spot.

Still end up being cheaper than the latest Assassin's Creed Deluxe Edition or the new FIFA Ultimate Edition🤣

Had a feeling they'd drop this after delaying for 8 months🤣

Exactly. The 4th is also available for PC but it’s shite and only available on the Windows Store. The Ultimate Edition of the original was also a terrible port. This looks a really pathetically weak effort without the first 3 games. If they then released 4 on Steam then people could access the collection at least. The original will be finished in 10 hours, the MP will be played for a week and then it’ll be gone and forgotten about.

Not releasing it as a trilogy is criminal.

This game is pure art

Clair Obscur: Expedition 33

They released the 'Enhanced' version for the PC a couple of months back which has given them bumper new revenues so it wouldn't surprise me if they are withholding GTA6 to have an extra 6 months cashing in on that. It'll also give them a window to flog more Online tripe which people seem to lap up in droves.

I blame Bungie for the aesthetic choice but Sony for the concept. Since Sony acquired Bungie, they've literally obliterated the Destiny brand which is was a needless travesty in itself and now they are trying to chase the live service genre despite extreme saturation and with so much competition already out there. If a game doesn't appeal visually (like Concord) then it's gonna be hard to sell the concept and Arc Riders just seems to offer something that appeals to everyone, whereas Marathon is more of an acquired taste and that could be the difference between success and DOA. There's actually been so many games that have been and gone without anyone noticing in the last 3 years and the majority have failed by just having an unappealing art style.

Wont release until at least May 2026 Grand Theft Auto 6 delayed until May 2026: 'We need this extra time to deliver at the level of quality you expect and deserve' | PC Gamer WWW.PCGAMER.COM Busted. I expect a lot of other developer/publishers will be breathing a sigh of relief and we should see a flurry of new confirmed release dates for Q4 in the coming weeks. I'm not too disappointed but this is a big blow for the majority of gamers and rather than the game coming out in around 4 months, we have at least another year.

Series S console alone is going up by £50 and standard games will also be up to £74.99 in the UK. US prices have risen further with $100 on the Series S and $130 for the Series X. Absolutely disgusting price increases on mid-gen machines and £75/$80 is unjustifiable. Expedition 33 for instance sold 1m copies in 48 hours at a price of between £33-£37 and will likely reach 5m by June even at the standard £39.99. It is one of most highly rated games of the decade and its growing success will see a decent return. If MS think charging £74.99 for absolute shite is going to make them more money, they are beyond deluded. Also charging more for machines already made, shipped and landed is not going to go down well. Sony will probably be next as Microsoft weren't too far behind Nintendo.
