GamesMaster was brilliant back in the day but I'm not sure how it will translate now in any form especially with the likes of YouTube and its thousands of channels doing a variety of formats. Not sure how they could bring it up to date and make it viable and original. It was definitely a unique show when I watched it as a kid as it was fascinating to see all sorts of games in action and to see people face-off but the internet has made this possible with millions of easily accessible videos spanning nearly two decades so they'd have to have a very big hook else it'll be a dated rehash of old and tired ideas. Be interesting to see what they do with it though.

Also just noticed that it'll be 2022 and they still haven't done any mirror rendering still Hardly improved graphics - more like higher resolution and that's it.

I'm really enjoying the game so far - it's a really well-executed concept and a very smart one at that too. There's not many developers that have the brains or balls to do something like this! I've played about 4 hours so far and completed one full loop/day, so I've seen parts of each location and gathered some useful intel. The game flows really well and you're under no time constraints to explore - you can take some risks by delving deeper into the locations but if you don't have the gear or powers, it's best to just get the key intel to progress the story and try and gather any other useful things before moving on. Exiting the level advances time as you move on to the next with 4 locations and 4 times of day. Anything you miss you can always get on the next loop so there's no concerns about that. The journal system is also excellent for keeping tabs on stuff and reminding you of things i.e info you've picked up previous which you may need to use at that specific time. I was worried I'd need a notepad or have to remember tones of stuff but it's all laid out really well. The game also reminds you of key narrative points and guides you so you never get lost or overwhelmed. The characters seem really intriguing and fun although the AI is a bit simple and stupid at times. Shooting is great and I can't wait to get my hands on the powers - I managed to get the teleport one from Dishonored for a bit from Juliana before the loop ended and that was a lot of fun and could prove useful but I have to work out how I can retain such things which will no doubt be embedded into the story somewhere down the line. Performance was a bit iffy at first and some are having a hard time with it but it's not too bad for me thankfully. Could be better tho and screw Denuvo!

Looks like next years COD will be a sequel to the MW2019 reboot.

10/10 on both IGN and Gamespot and a clear front-runner for GOTY. Arkane are simply so ambitious and ingenious at what they do and I can't wait to start this tomorrow

Seems people are really pissed - 54,000 dislikes nearly and patience is wearing thin. Nearly a decade ago I was buzzing for this, now I am absolutely sick of it

Just seen the writer for the KOTR Remake and she's one of those toxic, woke, men-hating Twitter nutjobs who actually seems to despise actual Star Wars fans and doesn't appear to even like the franchise. I really don't know why companies hire people like this - I know they like to do the social media checkbox but surely it's better if they just hired an entirely appropriate writer who got on with their job and who was in-tune with the franchise? When people start bringing in their politics and personal problems into projects like this, everyone loses.

The game is pretty much one take throughout - I can't even remember when there was a single cut. It's a rare example where the game looks exactly like how it appeared in the trailers too so this one will look just as good as it does now. Cannot wait!

I'm certainly gonna keep my eye on this but it's not out until 2023 so I'm not sure why they announced it so prematurely. I know there's a lack of games on PS5 but filling it with titles that are miles away at the earliest isn't ideal. I didn't get Morales but I did enjoy the first game however they really need to do away with all the filler like towers and copy and paste activities because it stinks of a Ubisoft-inspired title. I was seriously taken aback at how cheap some of the gameplay was in the original outside of the spectacular swinging which was implemented really well. The busywork needs to be cut out and they need to strike a better balance with pacing and providing a consistently enjoyable experience rather than one that's all over the place. Stealth was also shite from what I remember. If they can capture the brilliance of the Batman games then they'll get it right but if they repeat the same mistakes, I don't think people will be as forgiving especially in a couple of years time.

Looks woeful. Horrendous ball physics, sloppy animations, mechanics look slippery and in general it looks like a sluggish mess

As soon as I saw the event being only 40 minutes, I knew they'd have very little show off. There was definitely some quality with a couple of big names but in terms of quantity it was very disappointing. I still think we're 2-3 years off true next gen. I am also personally disappointed, bordering on annoyed that there is still no word on a Bloodborne upgrade or proper PS5 version.

Looks amazing - just like the original, it will look as good as it does in the trailers.

I think this is a big update and next gen release to the original with a free next gen upgrade and Steam release. There's also a new first person perspective and a shitload of content.

Keanu Reeves still looks like he's in Johnny Silverhand mode! I wasn't at all blown away with the trailer - I think they probably could've done a prequel with a new actor. This all looks a bit lame really. Kinda feels like one minute there will be a shootout and the next Neo will pop along to grab a quick latte at the local coffee shop with his new gay lover or something.

It's mad you could do this in a game! Players use Microsoft Flight Simulator to fly through Hurricane Ida in real time | PC Gamer WWW.PCGAMER.COM The game pulls in meteorological data to recreate what's happening in the world.

Looks a bit bland in all honesty. Not as bad as I was expecting but hardly next gen. The trailers are all high octane, pulsating and explosive yet the gameplay in action is flat as a pancake. Vanguard could probably pass as a free to play game looking at it.

Waw, if you pre-order on Xbox or PC, you get ONE day for a beta yay! The open beta for those is then two days yet the Playstation one is 4 days after 3 closed. Why not just give everyone 3 days and be done with it. I can't see myself bothering with the beta and I couldn't be arsed with the alpha. I have zero interest in the game and the franchise more than ever. I'm pinning everything on BF2042 being good.

If we don't turn up then we would likely get heavily penalised, also slated for depriving another team of a place and it would also bugger up any future prospects of hosting the competition. We'd also get called into question about why we didn't say anything for over a decade. We've kinda put ourselves out there as the poster-nation for virtue signalling in the last 18 months and it's great to see so many positives on and off the pitch but the footballing world in general would just see a level of hypocrisy and an 11th hour woke publicity stunt. There's just too much money, contracts and red tape for us to pull off any ballsy move or do something that would make a difference which other nations would support and they are also just as much tied. We've already shamefully bent the knee for UEFA against government guidelines and accepted blackmail over the well-being of the wider public in Euro 2020 so just imagine what FIFA would do to us at our own game and how well we would bow to them if needs be. FIFA should've been obliterated years ago after the Blatter and co scandal but it's just the same suits worn by other clowns.
