A big new update to Grip, the Rollcage spiritual successor, was released this week – and it adds multiplayer. You can now search for available games, although the developer, Caged Element, warned that because the multiplayer component is new, players may struggle to find a game that matches all of their settings. CE suggested enabling searching for all games modes to find the largest number of available games. Grip launched on Steam as an Early Access title back in February 2016 and met with a p

After last week’s Total War: Warhammer 2 announcement, Creative Assembly has moved to reassure concerned fans that its next big historical Total War game is well underway. The Warhammer 2 announcement at EGX Rezzed last week was met with dismay from some fans, who’d instead hoped Creative Assembly would reveal its other core Total War game in the works. Back in November, Creative Assembly confirmed to Eurogamer that the next historical game would feature “an era we haven’t tackled yet”. In fact,

It looks like the wait for Terraria spin-off Otherworld will go on a lot longer – work has essentially started over after what sounds like a troubled development. Terraria: Otherworld was announced in February 2015 as a spin-off from the hugely popular Terraria series. Terraria owner Re-Logic contracted Dutch developer Engine Software to make Otherworld after its good work porting the original to PS Vita, PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360. In a post on the Terraria forum, Re-Logic said it had taken Oth

Playtonic and Team17 have announced a patch for cheery Banjo-Kazooie homage Yooka-Laylee. It’s out now on Xbox One, and will launch on PC and PS4 before the game’s 11th April release. When the player respawns, they will be unable to movePerformance improvements to various camera transitions in the introductory cut scenePerformance improvements to Shipwreck Creek and Hivory Towers. “Hiccups of this sort don’t cripple Yooka-Laylee,” I wrote in Eurogamer’s Yooka-Laylee review yesterday. There’s als

In Mass Effect Andromeda’s current form, players encounter a scientific director by the name of Hainly Abrmas. “It feels forced, as if BioWare had to tick off ‘trans character’ on some checklist,” Eurogamer contributor Sam Greer wrote of this awkward interaction. “In Mass Effect: Andromeda, one of our non-player characters, Hainly Abrams, was not included in a caring or thoughtful way. To remedy this, BioWare will alter Abrams’ dialogue in an impending update. “We have had several discussions wi

A The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild player has figured out a way to glide across the entire land of Hyrule in one amazing descent. Unlike the person who continually shot bomb arrows to propel themselves skyward through the power of explosions, YouTuber mety333 built a flying contraption and ascended high enough that they hit the game’s invisible ceiling. To do this, they placed Link upon a metal box stacked atop a cart, then used the magnises ability to pull the cart upward, raising the bo

The Advertising Standards Authority has banned an advert for Mobile Strike it deemed objectified women. Mobile Strike is a hugely popular war strategy game that has seen a number of high-profile adverts. The advert in question, however, features three bikini-clad models who play Mobile Strike by a pool. “The intention was to show that the Mobile Strike game could liven up a player’s time spent in everyday, sometimes boring, spaces,” reads the ASA’s note on the ruling. For those reasons, we consi

Whatever else it is, Yooka-Laylee is one gigantic joke at its own expense. The game’s grand yet dinkily styled, themepark environments teem with retro parodies, all of whom express themselves in authentically inane, pre-CD-ROM gibberish. The aggressively ironic tone also betrays a certain insecurity about whether the type of game Yooka-Laylee aims to be still merits attention, a commitment to making light of the whole enterprise lest it prove surplus to requirements. Laylee will eventually learn

Sid Meier’s Civilization Revolution and Insanely Twisted Shadow Planet have been added to the Xbox One’s backwards compatible library. Civilization Revolution launched in 2008, marking the strategy series’ console debut. We rather liked it too, with Eurogamer contributor Alec Meer saying “This slick new Civilization may be more reduction than Revolution, but it’s easily one of the most distinctive games on 360 and PS3” in his Civilization Revolution review. Insanely Twisted Shadow Planet was one

Remember Fighting Fantasy books? The Warlock of Firetop Mountain, that sort of thing? Developer Nomad Games (Talisman: Digital Edition) is making a card-based RPG called Fighting Fantasy Legends. It features three books from Steve Jackson and Ian Livingstone’s influential series: City of Thieves, The Warlock of Firetop Mountain and Citadel of Chaos. Fighting Fantasy Legends is due out on Steam, iOS and Android later this year.

Blizzard has emerged victorious in a long-running lawsuit against Bossland, a German company that creates cheats for online games. As reported by TorrentFreak, the US court ruled that Bossland owed Blizzard $8,563,600 for 42,818 violations. The court ruled that these products infringed upon Blizzard’s product by damaging the player experience for honest, non-cheating folk. “Players of the Blizzard Games lodge complaints against cheating players, which has caused users to grow dissatisfied with t

Nier: Automata has breached the one million mark in sales, publisher Square Enix has announced. This combines both physical and digital sales worldwide on PS4 and PC. These figures are almost definitely an improvement over the original Nier, though sales figures for that remain iffy. It reportedly sold about 134k copies in Japan in its first seven months, whereas Nier: Automata managed 198,542 on PS4 alone during its launch week in Japan. I called Nier: Automata “the most captivating game I’ve p

In a note to fans Atlus explained its rather strict media sharing guidelines. Also, don’t post anything about a certain student investigator. Amusingly, Atlus makes it clear that this isn’t the western distributor’s decision, but an ordain that came in from on high in Japan. “This is FAR WORSE than Nintendo, Nintendo allows their games to be streamed. “Atlus won’t let you stream past 7/7 or even post certain parts of the game on Youtube.

Capcom has published scans of a 20-year-old guide it still uses today when creating Street Fighter characters. At GDC last month, Capcom’s Toshiyuki Kamei delivered a talk on the art direction of Street Fighter 5. As part of it, he discussed Anatomy: A Strange Guide for Artists, a document created 20 years ago around the time Darkstalkers was being made. Kamei revealed an example of how this guide was used in the creation of Street Fighter 5 characters. It’s really cool to see scans of Anatomy:

Mass Effect Andromeda has received a lot of criticism since its launch last month and BioWare has been listening. BioWare general manager Aaryn Flynn noted on the Mass Effect blog that updates over the next two months will improve the lip-syncing, as the game’s facial animations have left something to be desired. Furthermore, BioWare will tweak the dialogue with Hainly Abrams, a trans character with a tone-deaf expository method of introducing themselves. As such, if you wanted that Gamerscore y
