Control is getting a co-op spin-off Posted: 29 Jun 2021 03:29 PM PDT |
Death Trash's demo is still available after end of Steam Next Fest Posted: 29 Jun 2021 02:09 PM PDT ![]() We've been writing about Death Trash since 2015, and it'll launch in early access at last on August 5th. You don't have to wait five weeks to play it, though. The demo - one of the best of the Steam Next Fest - has been made permanently available. |
This RTX 3060 Ryzen 5800H gaming laptop is $1269 today at B&H Posted: 29 Jun 2021 01:28 PM PDT ![]() If you're in the market for a gaming laptop and you're in the US of A, we've got a great deal for you. The Lenovo Legion 5, one of the best reviewed gaming laptops on the market, has been discounted to $1269 at Newegg, compared to $1549 elsewhere. That's for a model that comes with an RTX 3060 graphics card, Ryzen 7 5800H processor and 512GB NVMe SSD storage - a very solid spec! |
Magic: Legends is closing down six months after entering open beta Posted: 29 Jun 2021 01:23 PM PDT ![]() Magic: Legends is closing down. The action RPG entered open beta just three months ago, but its servers will be switched off for good three months from now, on October 31st 2021. |
Forza Horizon 4's future updates will recycle old content Posted: 29 Jun 2021 01:06 PM PDT ![]() Forza Horizon 5 was announced during E3 2021 and is due this November. In the latest Forza Monthly update, developers Playground Games have spoken about future plans for the previous game in the series, Forza Horizon 4. Mainly, that the next update will be the last to add new content to the three-year-old game. |
Sony have bought Housemarque, developers of Returnal and Nex Machina Posted: 29 Jun 2021 12:39 PM PDT ![]() Housemarque are best known for developing PlayStation exclusives like Returnal, Matterfall and Resogun, but among those they also released stellar arcade shmup Nex Machina on PC. Now the Finnish developers have been bought outright by Sony. |
Shiny demons! Doom Eternal finally gets its ray-tracing upgrade Posted: 29 Jun 2021 09:44 AM PDT ![]() For those of you lucky enough to own an RTX capable graphics card and a copy of Doom Eternal (I assume there's a decent amount of crossover there), the ray-tracing update promised since the shooter’s launch has finally arrived. Nvidia’s tech has added a final level of polish to the game’s surfaces, and also brings DLSS support to balance out the power-hungry enhancements. |
No More Heroes review: without motion controls, this port loses its charm on PC Posted: 29 Jun 2021 09:00 AM PDT ![]() Eh, I'm not convinced by this HD remaster of hack-and-slasher No More Heroes. This is as barebones a port as you can get, really. And even if you can get past that, I'm not sure the game holds up 14 years later, on a new platform and with a new control scheme. Unless you're powered entirely by nostalgia, I'd say it's a middling time. |
Slime Rancher 2 will be bigger and even more colourful than the original Posted: 29 Jun 2021 08:42 AM PDT ![]() Slime Rancher 2 was a bit of an unexpected announcement this E3, albeit a very welcome one. I'm always up for being pleasantly surprised by adorable slimes. The sequel to the slime-corralling sim is set to release in early access next year, and it'll feature a vibrant new world to explore, and some excellent bat slimes. Naturally, I needed to find out more about these good squishy orbs, so I caught up with Nick Popovich, Slime Rancher game director and CEO of developer Monomi Park. We talked about the game's art direction, the pressure of making a follow-up to a much-loved indie, and how the sequel has the potential to be a hell of a lot bigger than the original. |
Stare into the Mun's lovely craters in this Kerbal Space Program 2 footage Posted: 29 Jun 2021 08:30 AM PDT ![]() This is delightful. Most games struggle through the tangled thorns of PR, marketing, and that one dude who spots errors from seven miles away, before getting a single screenshot to you. But this little glimpse into Kerbal Space Program 2’s progress is via their show and tell sessions on the official forums, where the team gathers up what they’ve been working on and shares it with the community. In April and May, the clouds got fluffier, the terrain more specular, and the Mun really embraced its impact craters. There’s not a lot here, but what there is has made me very happy. I’ve officially given up trying to mod Kerbal Space Program after watching the work being put into the skies and terrain for the second game. I’ll happily wait to split these clouds with my best attempt at a rocket. The Mun really caught my eye. It’s gorgeous. Every shade of grey imaginable, covered in overlapping impact craters, shadows piling up in every scoop of dirt. I'm going to spend weeks admiring it as I work out how to get there without sacrificing my grinning little Kerbalnauts. |
The Weekspot podcast #044: Isaac the lad Posted: 29 Jun 2021 07:00 AM PDT ![]() After eight years on the shelf, many are saying the smart money is on EA announcing a new Dead Space game at the upcoming EA Play in July. Given the fact that EA have gone back to Mirror's Edge and they're in the process of reviving Skate, it's not a bad shout. |
Scope out this Sniper Elite VR footage Posted: 29 Jun 2021 05:54 AM PDT ![]() As a VR user and a Sniper Elite enjoyererer, I’ve been genuinely looking forward to the upcoming Sniper Elite VR. Immersing my face into a decent open-world stealth game has been a dream of mine since VR started, and the previous two Sniper Elite games have been excellent examples of that type of game. So, yes, I will watch 12 minutes of it in action, thank you very much. I need to know just how much excitement I’ll allow myself to feel. |
Get the new Razer Blade 15 RTX 3070 gaming laptop for £600 off Posted: 29 Jun 2021 05:17 AM PDT ![]() The latest model Razer Blade 15 Base has been heavily discounted on Amazon, dropping from £2049 to £1499 in a matter of weeks. Today saw another drop of £100, with the laptop now costing just £1399 - an outstanding price for a svelte RTX 3070 laptop with a 2560x1440 165Hz display, 10th-gen Core i7 processor and 512GB of NVMe SSD storage. |
Cruelty Squad review: this game is too cool for me, probably Posted: 29 Jun 2021 04:28 AM PDT ![]() Cruelty Squad didn't click with me, not because of its grinning antagonism or brain grating lofi, but because I didn’t find it all that interesting. I’m sort of rooting for it, still, thumbing its leprous nose-cavity at inexplicable Steam bestsellers that won’t be out for six months. Still, I signed up to have awful soup, made from Clippy’s wire entrails and melted immersive sim floppy disks, spooned on my eyeballs. What I got was a reasonably tense shooter with some extensively labyrinthine level design and, to be fair, a very good shotgun. |

You can download the first Windows 11 preview build right now Posted: 29 Jun 2021 03:19 AM PDT ![]() Windows 11 is still in the workshop as engineers tinker with its rounded corners and Android app support, but if you're a Windows Insider, you can give the preview build a whirl right now. |
