Today’s Daily Death is a return to form, if that “form” is steady mediocrity. What I’m saying is, I reach beyond world one, but not much further. I’m much (but not that much) better than this.
Shh, nobody tell Sega that they’ve done their birthday backwards by giving away free stuff instead of accepting it. Sega are beginning celebrations for their 60th anniversary by giving away Sonic The Hedgehog 2 and Nights Into Dreams free for keeps, as well as some new games inspired by retro classics. Streets Of Kamurocho, seriously? That’s a perfectly executed combo.
As [cms-block] draws to a close, we’ve been sifting through our deals data to see which of the many, many discounts you, the RPS readers, liked the most. I should stress, all of our data is completely anonymous. We don’t know who bought what, just what was bought. And man alive, you bought a heck of a lot of storage this year, that’s for sure, driving the excellent 1TB WD Blue SN550 SSD to victory to become your most popular Prime Day deal of the last 48 hours. And quite right, too – it really was (and still is, I should note) a pretty brilliant bargain, and definitely my stand-out deal of the entire event. So here’s what Amazon Prime Day looked like to you, readers – and I must say, I definitely approve of your very good taste.
Rockstar have announced today that, as was previously rumored, they have indeed acquired Ruffian Games, makers of Crackdown 2 and helping hands on Halo: The Master Chief Collection. Ruffian is getting less ruff, adopting the new corporate family name Rockstar Dundee. Both say they look forward to working together on future projects, though they’ve not said yet just what those will be. (more…)
I, like us all, have experienced times of acute stress in my life. I’ve had to retake all my A-levels, gotten a divorce, and undergone abdominal surgery that it took a month to recover from. I couldn’t open doors or sneeze without being in pain.
None of this comes close to the experience of playing Cook, Serve, Delicious! 3?! with a broken keyboard.
Looks like a data miner has potentially discovered footage of Warzone‘s new map within Call Of Duty: Black Ops Cold War‘s files. Someone posted four short clips over on Reddit which show multiplayer maps coming to Cold War, but their file names each begin with “wz_” which suggests they’ll be reused as locations in the Warzone map. We may need to get our skiis on.
The space-faring pilots of Eve Online have had quite a time with the evolving story that CCP Games cooked up for them. Those dastardly Triglavians have been throwing space wrenches in everyone’s plans for months and now the fourth quadrant (space talk for “chapter”) of the story has arrived. The Phoenix Quadrant will ask players to rebuild New Eden in the aftermath of the star wars.
“Less is more”. A classic advertising slogan isn’t it? I imagine a minimalist house with shelves that fold away discreetly and a glass coffee table that sits in an expanse of glossy white. They’re often marketed as an economic use of space that cuts out any unnecessary noise. I don’t disagree! If anything, I can see the appeal. But I prefer homes with a bit of character. Sentimental objects everywhere, stacks of books strewn on desks, low beams and old fireplaces. These are the sorts of spaces I like, where all the clutter has history and gives the place personality.
Ubisoft clearly designed Assassin’s Creed Valhalla with a brochure of the former open, and I came away from my hands on demo feeling like the world they’d crafted was certainly beautiful, but largely devoid of things to do. Throughout my playtime, I craved the feeling Assassin’s Creed Odyssey gave me, of barrelling through a map littered with icons and crashing into its caves and forts and chests. I wanted to dash between markers, but instead I was left spinning in the English countryside.
It’s been pretty slim pickings for good gaming keyboard deals this [cms-block], and it’s probably because the best ones aren’t actually on Amazon. If you’re in the US, you can currently get the top-flight Corsair K95 Platinum for $70 off at Best Buy, as well as $60 off Corsair’s mid-range K70 RGB MK.2 as well, making them significantly cheaper than what you’ll find over at Amazon right now. Plus, they’re both covered by Best Buy’s Black Friday guarantee, so their prices won’t go any lower come Black Friday next month. Bargain!
From tomorrow, videos on RPS will autoplay as you scroll down to them in an article. They will play without sound. I know many of you won’t like this change, but let’s talk about why it’s happening.
