What do you actually do in Ancestors: The Humankind Odyssey, the ambitious ape evolution game by Assassin’s Creed creator Patrice Desilets? What we knew following Desilets’ Reboot conference talk was Ancestors takes place in Africa between 10 million and 200,000 years ago. Therefore you will play, Desilets revealed, “not a person but a lineage”. “I want the player to be in charge of the pace and how he’s going to experience human evolution. You may experience the savanna without the ability of s

Introversion’s colourful and mysterious new PC game Scanner Sombre will be released this week! Scanner Sombre is a short and unsettling exploration game about revealing a hidden landscape, a cave system, around you. You use an in-game – not real-life – virtual reality headset in conjunction with a scanner to change the impenetrably dark environment into a dotted, colourful world, and uncover the tunnels and bridges that will get you through it. Martin wrote about Scanner Sombre having played it

There have been plenty of ZX Spectrum crowdfunders in recent years, and not all of them have gone well. The ZX Spectrum Next looks like it could be a decent effort – and it’s already hit its £250,000 Kickstarter goal. The ZX Spectrum Next project is headed up by Henrique Olifiers, a game designer and the co-founder of Bossa Studios (Surgeon Simulator, I Am Bread and Worlds Adrift), and Jim Bagley, the coder behind ZX Spectrum games Cabal and Midnight Resistance. The Kickstarter page says the ZX

A fan project to port Red Dead Redemption into GTA5 has been shut down. The promising mod, named Red Dead Redemption V, had been in development for around three years. The images showed Red Dead Redemption’s sunset-drenched Western map successfully ported over into the GTA5 engine. GTA5 is home to a bustling mod scene on PC, but one Rockstar and Take-Two still keep a close eye on. And then there’s the small matter of Red Dead Redemption 2, still apparently on track for release this year on PlayS

After what feels like an eternity, the next game in the Persona series has arrived. Persona 5 tips for making the most of your school yearFor those of you who have played a Persona game before most of the mechanics will be familiar – there have been a few tweaks, but broadly speaking it offers no surprises. If, however, this is your first Persona game, there are a few things it’s handy to know before embarking on your journey. These are levelled up by interacting with people in the overworld, bu

For those who view video games as an adjunct to cinema rather than an alternative, the rise and fall of the interactive movie in the mid-1990s was something of a befuddling mystery. One night, while working the late shift, Thomson becomes embroiled in a plot to scam an eminent London auction house. Entire chapters can be missed depending on your choices, and as a result the game’s running time is flexible. The flexibility of the form cannot help but introduce these character inconsistencies, whi

The reveal of Metal Gear Solid 2 at E3 2000, prior to the system’s Western launch, was the turning point in the fledgling system’s fortunes. The sequel was referred to as Metal Gear Solid III or MGSIII – the roman numerals referencing the New York skyline. Metal Gear is also about freedom within a linear framework and nothing illustrates this better than the tanker sequence in MGS2. It was a bold move that many enjoyed but some fans would feel betrayed by the final game, clearly a part of the Me

This week, inspired by Telltale’s new Guardians of the Galaxy game and its non Chris Pratt Star Lord, we’ve been thinking about the times the developers of movie games don’t have permission to use a star’s likeness in their game. Consider these times videogames did just that, with mixed (that is, mostly rubbish) results. Also on the menu this week are FPS games, particularly those from that glorious, bizarre era of gaming, the 1990s. Watch on for our favourite weird genre relics from that deeply

Gary became the first professional football commentator in Britain to commentate on a live FIFA eSports competition after heading out to Lithuania to get behind the mic at an event. The first time I found out who Gary was and that he had worked on a FIFA tournament was in March 2017. In fact, it took a major incident in the world of football to bring Gary towards the eSports world. “The only difference [between FIFA and football commentary] was I was allowed to talk about what the gamers themsel

Shadow resolution is also dialled back, but otherwise the look of the game stands up very well to the PS4 version. While both games target 30fps, only the PS4 version delivers it with rock-solid consistency. The last-gen game often misses its performance target leading to obvious screen-tearing in almost every scene. The result is a game that just doesn’t feel quite as fluid as the PS4 version, which to all intents and purposes is a 1080p remaster of its last-gen sibling. It plays fine, but if y
