Well this is a dash of cold water in the face for the upcoming Indy game: https://www.pcgamer.com/games/fps/after-three-hours-with-indiana-jones-and-the-great-circle-i-dont-think-its-the-grand-adventure-machinegames-is-pitching-its-just-a-fairly-basic-stealth-game/#comment-jump At least it's coming...

https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/Qce2bMpZ2xmXtvjXbw8mkf-970-80.jpg This is pretty much what I expected when it came out they were pulling press previews. Their stock price has been in free-fall the last few months so they really need this game to sell which also explains why it is coming to Steam ...

Probably this will be a bad idea, but the upcoming release of this has put me in the mood for a replay of Inquisition - something I've not done since 2019 apparently, looking at my EA account. I was playing DA2 recently but burned out a bit somewhere in the second act, but I really want to familiar...

It's a console that is antithetical to what is currently happening in the industry right now. We have developers shedding jobs or shutting down because their game failed to make back enough to cover the huge development costs, a general feeling that we can't keep on spending this much to make games,...

It was always going to be, surely? The standard PS5 console still carries an RRP of close to £500 as far as I'm aware (the digital version, which I guess is the better comparison point, is cheaper than that), and they were never going to put out a "pro" version for fifty quid more. I don't think th...

Ahahahahahaha £700 for the PS5 Pro, an extra £100 if you want to play any of your current games on discs as it doesn't come with a drive.

Damn, a pretty downbeat review from PCG: https://www.pcgamer.com/games/action/warhammer-40-000-space-marine-2-review/ 60% Sounds like it's initially amazing but despite the campaign only lasting 8 hours it wears out its welcome long before the end, and the co-op mode is too half-baked to make up fo...

The impression I got was that it was only temporarily dead, and they're going to keep at it.

Sony haven't made any commitments either way. I wouldn't be surprised to see it return with a free to play model but I also wouldn't be surprised if we never saw it again.

I like the look of a lot of the new systems for 7 and I think the art style looks gorgeous, £60 is a bit too steep of a price for me personally though.

Deadlock

Snagged an invite from a friend, so if anyone else would like access to Valve's new shooter which is basically a FPS version of DOTA let me know.

Looks OK, shame about the combat.

I picked up Shadows of Doubt yesterday, based on this article. It’s janky, it’s not 100% intuitive and it is incredibly good. The core concept is that you are a PI in a city who investigates murders, all of which is procedurally generated - the city, the people, their jobs, their routines, their re...

I'll probably get to it at some point but the combat looks boring and not my cup of tea and at this point I don't trust Bioware to tell a good story to make up for it. The emphasis some of the PR has been putting on relationships doesn't fill me with much confidence either.

To be fair to that video I think it's edited so it doesn't show everything you do in the pit.

I'm locked in for another year with the Gold trick from a few years back so it doesn't really effect me in terms of price but I love it as a service. Played a fair few games over the years that I probably wouldn't have bothered with otherwise. The Xbox first party stuff is mostly an added bonus for ...
