PC players will be able to access the game via the Epic Games Store, while PS4 users will need a PlayStation Plus membership, with cross-play enabled throughout the trial. The trial will allow players to experience most of what the core gameplay has to offer....

This review contains spoilers. “Why don’t they just come out?” asks tabloid editor Duncan Allen in new BBC One drama Press. He’s in the morning editorial meeting, bemoaning the suicide of a talented young footballer blackmailed over his sexuality. A successful, persuasive and by no means stupid man, Allen already knows the answer to his question. They don’t “just come out”, mate, because your venal rag would breathlessly splash the most personal and sensitive details of their private lives on the front page while sanctimoniously waving the banner of public interest, and then carelessly discard their wrung-dry corpse in favour of your next victim....

3 million PlayStation 4 consoles were sold between April-June 2015 – more than twice as many units as Xbox One and Xbox 360 combined. Only 1.4m Xbox consoles were sold by Microsoft during the same period, 53% fewer than PS4, but 27% up on the prior year. It isn’t known how many of those were Xbox Ones. It also isn’t clear how many PS3s were sold during the same quarter, although the number is said to be down year-on-year....

Sony has detailed the full line-up of features set to be introduced in PlayStation 4’s major upcoming 3.00 system update, with highlights set to include brand new YouTube live streaming, increased 10GB cloud storage and higher quality PNG screenshots. PS4 System Software 3.00 Features: Events: A new hub for events has been added, giving an overview of activities taking place in the games you play most, as well as official broadcasts....

PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds has received a new hotfix on Xbox One, with the much-requested BP exchange feature now part of the chicken dinner-giving shooter package. The update also applies some tweaks to the Xbox One X’s graphical settings, with things toned down slightly in order to counter ongoing frame rate issues. Despite this, PUBG Corp. notes that the texture quality will remain untouched. PUBG Corp. has also been busy swatting a number of bugs that have been plaguing the shooter, while a bunch of new weapon skins are now available via the in-game store....

Rainbow Six Quarantine was revealed by Ubisoft during E3 last month. So far, few details have emerged for the game. All we know at the moment is that it’s a continuation of the franchise, while also sharing gameplay ties with Rainbow Six Siege. Also, there are aliens because why not. But as far as when we’ll see the game, Ubisoft could only confirm that it would arrive next year. However, thanks to a recent Ubisoft earnings call, we now know the game will launch before April of 2020....

Rainbow Six: Siege is an online multiplayer FPS unlike any other, with a win relying on the team working together to make sure that the opposing team doesn’t manage to get the drop on them. Throw in the fact that every single one of the possible characters that the players can pick all have their own special attacks, and there is a lot here that people won’t find in other video games....

Ubisoft has announced that the development team behind Rainbow Six Siege has moved on to other projects (via VG24/7). Creative director Xavier Marquis and brand director Alexandre Remy are taking a number of core team members with them onto something new. The two creative leads have steered Rainbow Six Siege from its initial launch through to its excellently supported current form. There isn’t much word on what the team will focus on next, but in the announcement, the two leads made it clear that their presence was no longer needed for the game’s success....

Untitled Goose Game’s protagonist is a terrifying creature, one whose presence usually instills automatic fear and terror in others. However, for one fearless (and talented) Reddit user, the goose is a symbol of creativity and dedication, as they now own a beautiful, handmade basswood carving of the popular goose character. Redditor u/seanpt3009 uploaded an image of his creation with the caption “I hand carved The Goose out of basswood.” The picture has already amassed 1....

Although the gaming industry increasingly fixates on providing serious, cutting-edge experiences, niches of players who seek weird, dumb fun will always exist. Just ask Devolver Digital. Developer Robot Circus and publisher Gregarious Games aim to cater to these desires with Reptilian Rising, a bizarre turn-based tactics game that apparently spans time and space. Players command a team of famous historical figures, such as Albert Einstein and Winston Churchill, and legendary heroes like Robin Hood, as they battle an army of killer reptiles from outer space....

Recently, Capcom’s Resident Evil 2 received an update that added a nice little Resident Evil 3 Remake Easter egg regarding Jill Valentine. Specifically, the Easter egg is in the form of an achievement called “Chasing Jill” and tasks players with finding a letter left behind the RE 3 protagonist. However, that is not the only Easter egg that was added, since a far more sinister one was placed as well, albeit only in the demo for the game....

Resident Evil 2’s free-to-download Ghost Survivors update is out today, so naturally there’s a launch trailer for you to gawk at. The Ghost Survivors focuses on three characters who never made it out of Raccoon City alive, although here you’re given a ‘what if?’ scenario where you guide them to safety. There’s No Time to Mourn (Robert Kendo, the gun shop owner), Runaway (the mayor’s daughter, Katherine Warren), and Forgotten Soldier (Ghost, a member of Hunk’s USS team)....

Resident Evil Village has become one of the most popular recent titles in the history of Capcom’s storied franchise. Players will also be able to fully immerse themselves even more inside its horror-filled story through its planned VR mode. The VR edition, previously announced back in June 2022, has received an official release date through a PlayStation blog post. Now that it’s been revealed, devoted followers of the series are asking the following question: when is the release date for Resident Evil Village VR?...

More than anything, The Darkspawn Chronicles is plain and simply fun. There’s none of the dialogue, the decisions, the weight of destiny hanging over top of you. The end result is exhilarating, and I heartily recommend that all Dragon Age fans try The Darkspawn Chronicles out for themselves. I’ll admit this straight away, Dragon Age: Origins didn’t overly impress me. Combat sequences became excessively precise and dull only hours into the game....

Blizzard has dropped a new patch for free-to-play hero shooter Overwatch 2, tweaking some players favourite heroes, and fixing some bugs. Sojourn, Kiriko, Roadhog and Orisa have all been given some minor nerfs this time around, in the hope to balance out the game. READ NOW: Overwatch 2 Season 3 predicted release date On top of this, the latest patch includes some important bug fixes – including issues with the recent Battle For Olympus skins....

Who doesn’t love a good old’ fashioned sci-fi dystopia? The oppressive governments, the lack of free will, the general sense that we’re all doomed, and that the rich will always be in control while the poor will always suffer. Nothing like the real world, right? These tales have been around forever, and people just love wallowing in the despair of a world that’s lost all hope, especially if there are some fun robots and lasers thrown in for kicks....

Grinding Gear Games lifted the veil on its latest expansion for Path of Exile earlier today in a livestream. Path of Exile: Scourge once more shakes things up, bringing new gems, a new challenge, and a passive skill tree rework. Don’t hold your breath too long for the latter, however. The rework isn’t massive, but GGG did change some things up a bit. For the most part, PoE remains the same grindy ARPG with more loot than pixels....

Xbox chief Phil Spencer has moved to reassure fans concerned about the future of Xbox following yesterday’s announcement that Lionhead Studios and Press Play Studios are to close. Responding to a fan on Twitter asking him to promise that Xbox “is not going anywhere”, Spencer replied: “I promise”. “I’m proud of the games our 1P Studios have shipped on XB1,” he told another, “our plan is continue to build new IP and expand our franchises....

Today Japanese indie publisher Playism had a ton of announcements to make at its traditional Playism Game Show. First of all, we get a much-awaited release, with Petit Depotto’s acclaimed RPG Gnosia releasing today on PC via Steam. Momodora: Moonlit Farewell by Bombservice is also coming to Steam continuing the popular series. No release date has been announced for now.
