You can watch Cyberpunk 2077 on Twitch now

9 12 月, 2020 Alice O'Connor 0

While Cyberpunk 2077 doesn’t launch until tonight, media folks given early access now have permission to stream the game. If you wanna have a peek (and buzz on the datanet suggests people are somewhat curious about the dystopian RPG from the makers of The Witcher), you can jack in and watch now. Maybe it’d help […]

Halo Infinite now due in autumn 2021

9 12 月, 2020 Alice O'Connor 0

After announcing in August that they were delaying Halo Infinite‘s launch from November into next year, developers 343 Industries have now revealed quite how long we’re talking: autumn 2021. That’s a big’un – it could potentially be a delay of over a year. For such a long delay to happen at such short notice, something […]

Epilepsy charity ask Cyberpunk 2077 to rethink seizure risks

8 12 月, 2020 Alice O'Connor 0

After one Cyberpunk 2077 reviewer suffered a seizure during a particularly visually-intense section of the game, an epilepsy charity have called for CD Projekt Red to consider updating the game in response. It’s perhaps not surprising that the dystopian RPG has garish nightclubs and computer glitches, but one particular gadget bears flashing lights with a […]

Horror game Detention now has a Netflix show

7 12 月, 2020 Alice O'Connor 0

Red Candle Games are perhaps best known for Devotion getting into trouble with the Chinese government, but they also, y’know, made decent video games. One of those, the high school horror Detention, has now spawned a live-action series on Netflix. It started this weekend, and after seeing the first two episodes, sure, I’ll keep watching. […]

If all these monoliths are Game Awards teasers, I will be livid

7 12 月, 2020 Alice O'Connor 0

Over the past fortnight, mysterious metal pillars (if they’re not stones, they’re not monoliths okay) have been found across the world. Who erected them? What are they for? We do not know. Are they art? Possibly! Are they moonman threats? We should be so lucky! Are they ‘viral’ marketing for a yet-unknown product? Yeah, maybe. […]

Fall Guys devs opening another studio

27 11 月, 2020 Alice O'Connor 0

The Fall Guys stooges at Mediatonic this week announced they’ve found a spot for new studio in Leamington Spa, which I suppose means they can go ahead and open one. They initially announced plans for a studio in the English spa town back in February, but they hadn’t created a gaming sensation at that point […]

Destiny 2’s raid race was delightfully brutal

27 11 月, 2020 Alice O'Connor 0

The best time to play a Destiny raid is as soon as it launches. Before the puzzles are solved, the bosses cheesed, the builds optimised, and the surprises spoiled, get in and discover it for yourself. Raids are extra brutal at launch because the first 24 hours are under a special ‘Contest Mode’ making enemies […]

Itch.io’s Black Friday sale has Among Us and loads of indie goodies

27 11 月, 2020 Alice O'Connor 0

has no cultural relevance for someone who doesn’t celebrate American Thanksgiving, but I’m up for good games going cheap. Itch.io is the latest digital PC games store to launch a big Black Friday sale, and it’s the one that interests me most for all of Itch’s indie goodies. The store mostly sells DRM-free downloads, but […]

MechWarrior 5 DLC delayed to avoid Cyberpunk 2077

26 11 月, 2020 Alice O'Connor 0

When CD Projekt Red announce a Cyberpunk 2077 release date, they plant a neon battle banner on the calendar and shouting “FIGHT ME, COWARDS” at other developers. Most, sensibly, decline to. The makers of MechWarrior 5: Mercenaries had planned to launch its first DLC on December 10th but, well, that’s the date Cyberpunk is now […]
