However many people enter the RPS treehouse, the same number of people eventually leave. There’s no fighting inside, just fun and games. In this Dave Irwin leaving RPS guide, I’ll say goodbye to Dave, thank him for his work, and explain how you can do the same.
I had a mate at university who got home pissed at 2am and decided to boil himself an egg. Great idea at the time. But he passed out on the floor, the saucepan boiled dry, and the egg began to combust. When my mate woke up, it was because his whole building was being evacuated because of the billows of rancid egg smoke from his kitchen. See that egg, in your mind’s eye? That’s ARK: Survival Evolved, that is.
Why did the game developer cross the road? To make a living, probably, but after traversing dozens of mobile highways it’s about time to look to the stars. Announced earlier today, Tombstar sees Crossy Road developer Andy Sum team up with designer Marcus Grambau in ditching the sidewalk to pick up a sci-fi six-shooter sometime this year. Let’s just hope his aim’s as good as his traffic-dodging gymnastics, eh?
That wasn’t a terrible first lap, Formula Fusion, but it could’ve gone better. So, off you pop into the pit lane for a fresh coat of paint, a rebranding, and we’ll take another shot at this whole release thing. Going by the much snappier Pacer moniker, R8 Games reckon their tuned-up sci-fi racer is finally ready to leave the garage, bringing it back to Steam on September 17th.
It’s summer! Scotland might’ve missed the memo (my soaked jeans can attest to that), but at least Overwatch is willing and able to have some fun in the virtual sun. The Summer Games have returned to Blizzard’s hero shooter, bringing in a fresh collection of hot beach looks – whether you’re chilling by the pool or pushing that dang payload.
It’s Quakecon At Home this weekend, and to celebrate this year’s socially distanced Bethesda fest, GOG and Green Man Gaming are holding a huge sale with lots of tasty game deals. Chief among them is 56% off Doom Eternal over at GMG, and 75% off Prey for would-be GOG-ers, so read on below for our pick of the very best deals from each sale.
is turn-based wizard whacking in the same vein as the much-beloved Final Fantasy Tactics series, which is one of the few classic FF spin-offs that has somehow managed to bypass coming to PC throughout its long, if slightly spotty history. It’s effectively to Final Fantasy Tactics what Wargroove was to aggrieved Advance Wars fans – a game which scratches that nostalgic, pixellated tactics itch while bringing it up to date for modern PC players.
As a result, Fae Tactics taps into a very specific brand of tactical role-playing, and it does loads of interesting things that I’m very much on board with. Sadly, it’s also one that I don’t have a lot patience for. It’s not just that its fights are a little too long and maybe a touch too repetitive for my tastes. It’s also because I’ve tripped over so many rules during my time with it that I feel like I’m being asked to perform ballet in the toy-strewn debris of a toddler’s bedroom.
Cosplayer Zibartas is someone who will never run out of light. His latest creation is Mercy’s wings from Overwatch. They’re built out of steel and aluminium, glow with the perfect amount of heavenly light, and unfurl like he’s just activated an ultimate. There are very few moments of true beauty in the world at the moment, but I’d argue that seeing these snake out like a visit from an angel is one of them. I’d hug him if it weren’t physically impossible.
Following on from the recent release of The World Of Cyberpunk 2077 last week (it’s a big fancy book revealing some delicious Cyberpunky secrets prior to Cyberpunk 2077‘s release in November), CD Projekt has spaffed a load of Gangs Of Night City posters onto Displate. New merch isn’t the sort of thing I pay much attention to, normally. But in this case, it’s given us some more details of the gangs you’ll run into when making your first-person-action-RPG way around Night City.
More importantly, in my mind at least, it has laid out their wares in a way that lets me decide which ones I am clearly going to support, and which ones I will terminate with extreme prejudice. These decisions are based entirely on their logos, but they are correct decisions nonetheless.
When Assassin’s Creed Valhalla releases this November, it will put players in the shoes of Eivor – a big, tough Viking assassin, fully prepared to slaughter the English. Now, if that’s not quite the selling point you were after, it might please you to know that this burly warrior will also be able to pet and snuggle all the cats they come across on their journey, too.
Well, it certainly isn’t going to make me any less> likely to buy the game.
