Remedy, the studio that created Max Payne, Alan Wake, and Quantum Break, has revealed its next project: Control. It kind of looks like Quantum Break plus Cabin in the Woods: lots of rooms laid out MC Escher style, with ominous overtones, and a protagonist that’s able to harness what looks to be some sort of telekinetic energy. The game was announced as part of Sony’s E3 2018 press conference, so it’s safe to assume it’ll be coming to PS4, though whether or not it’ll also arrive on other platform

It’s taken 20 years, but Resident Evil 2 is finally getting a remake on PS4. The game was revealed at Sony’s E3 conference, and it’s due on 25 January, 2019. The trailer starts off with a rat’s-eye-view of a scuffle between a Raccoon City PD officer and a zombie (which ends badly for the cop), before a young and fresh-faced Leon Kennedy busts down the door to witness the scene. There’s even a quick look at the iconic angel statue in the Raccoon City police headquarters, and a look at the city bu

Firstly, no sign of Joel, only the mention of ‘your old man’ lecturing one of Ellie’s friends about patrol routes. The gameplay then goes on to show Ellie fight some trench coat wearing survivors for… no clear reason. The strong violence might be, in part, due to the incredible looks on display. The foliage, lighting and facial animation looks incredible here. At one point Ellie is also able to grab a bottle, mid-run, and throw it to stun an enemy without breaking pace suggesting a fighting sy

Feudal Japan is the gaming flavour of the day right now, at least at E3 2018 anyway. First, we had FromSoftware’s Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice revealed as an official E3 2018 game, then Nioh 2 was announced, and now Sucker Punch gets to shine with some gameplay for its upcoming open world set in the same backdrop, Ghost of Tsushima. And this is where Sucker Punch gets to exhibit its distinctly Japanese combat system, and yes, katana are involved. So yeah, Ghost of Tsushima looks flippin’ amazing. F

Specifically “Providence defectors Robert and Sierra Knox.” You might remember Providence as the super secret organisation running the world from the Shadows in the previous game. The new instalment seems to be following that up if 47 is going after defectors from the secret society. Developer IO Interactive say this Miami level is one of the biggest events it’s created with over 2000 people milling around. Those crowds can be useful as well, letting you hide inside them from guards, as long as

Walking Dead fans, you’re going to want to see this. After multiple CG trailers and a lot of anticipation building, Overkill Software (who you may recognise as the developers of the Payday franchise) has let loose on some pure gameplay footage for it’s upcoming shooter based in The Walking Dead universe. Not only that, but – in a first for an Overkill game – storytelling is front and centre for The Walking Dead, with each playable character carrying their own backstories and motivations for surv

The Yakuza series won’t remain PlayStation exclusive much longer. Sega confirmed at the PC Gaming Show that the cult favorite open-world organized crime series is finally coming to PC, starting with Yakuza 0 in August and continuing with Yakuza Kiwami after that. That’s a lot cheaper than you can typically find the PS4 version for, which is an extra bonus for patient PC gamers. Though the Yakuza series has been going for years, this is actually a great time to jump on board: Yakuza 0 is an origi

If you’re a hardcore Jaws fan, you might remember the game Jaws Unleashed, which let you roleplay as the infamous shark and unleash his razor-sharp teeth on the unsuspecting. That power fantasy is getting a modern revival with Maneater, an open-world RPG where you play as a shark, complete with shark stats and skill trees. Maneater (no relation to the classic Hall & Oates song) is taking that refreshingly novel ‘you are the shark’ gameplay from Depth and greatly expanding it into a full-blown “s

But, there’s a question as to whether Assassin’s Creed Odyssey will feature the hidden blade. There are a few facts and theories behind my ponderings about the whereabouts of an Assassin’s Creed Odyssey hidden blade. Assassin’s Creed Odyssey is set in 431BC, which is 400 years before the events of Assassin’s Creed Origins. It’s only in Assassin’s Creed Origins that Bayek gets the very first hidden blade and adds it to the classic Assassin’s arsenal. Now, that’s actually before the events of Assa

Maybe you haven’t heard of or paid much attention to Ubisoft’s upcoming sci-fi starship adventure, Starlink: Battle for Atlas. But continuing to do so, especially if you’re a Nintendo fan, would be a mistake. Because Starlink is getting StarFox content, exclusive to Nintendo Switch, when it launches on October 16. Sure, it’s not a full-fledged StarFox game, but I’ll take it, especially considering that Starlink is a toys-to-life game where you attach miniature spaceships to your controller and,

If you hadn’t guessed it by now, Ubisoft is doing things a little big differently for Assassin’s Creed Odyssey. In fact, those choices matter so much that Assassin’s Creed Odyssey will feature “multiple” endings. I spoke to Mel MacCoubrey, narrative director on Assassin’s Creed Odyssey, who confirmed the multi-pronged closer:“I don’t want to spoil stuff, because I want players to discover stuff for themselves, but there are multiple endings and we wanted to make sure that we were faithful to the

If you thought the hot streets of Bayek’s Egypt looked good, prepare yourself for a shock: we’ve got an hour of the Grecian Assassin’s Creed Odyssey in glorious 4K and by Zeus’ beard it’ll make your eyeballs deliriously happy. So yeah, the Athenians aren’t the good guys. Their suffocating rule hasn’t been kindly received by Sparta. In Assassin’s Creed Odyssey, you’re put in the shoes of either Kassandra or Alexios, both mercenaries who are fighting for Sparta as they attempt to rebel against Ath

All the missions have been completed, you’ve got the best gear, and you’ve played your character so much that there can’t be any more surprises waiting around the corner for you. The Division 2 is changing that, joining the likes of Destiny in keeping the game going until way after you’ve finished the campaign with what they’re calling an “endgame first” strategy. Basically, you won’t be waving goodbye to The Division 2 for a long, long time. The Survivalist has a nifty crossbow with exploding b

Typically in the best Assassin’s Creed games you take on one, maybe a handful of targets at a time. Now to help fight the Athenian Empire on behalf of Sparta, you have to take part in Conquest battles: giant, 150 v 150 fights where the goal is to take down as many enemy soldiers as possible. During the battle the meter at the top of the screen shows how many soldiers are left on the field for each side. Do a good job at killing Athenian soldiers, and their blue meter will decrease with every ene

If you thought the Assassin’s Creed Origins map was big, wait until you see the size of the Assassin’s Creed Odyssey map. It incorporates a tonne of Greek islands, including Lesbos, Mykanos, Kos, Kephallonia and more, but also the mainland Greece. We’ve been told that it’s “bigger” than Assassin’s Creed Origins’ map, although actual specifics at present aren’t being confirmed. Take a look:And if you’re scoffing at the idea that any AC game could feature a map bigger than Assassin’s Creed Origins

Anyone who fondly remembers fighting on the high seas in Assassin’s Creed Black Flag , rejoice! In Assassin’s Creed Odyssey naval battles are making a comeback, as your mercenary of choice has their very own ship to command. We’ve got footage of a naval battle in all its salty glory so you can see just what it’s like to fight on the high seas. Your Spartan ship is around hundreds of years before Black Flag, so be prepared for the attacks to be quite different. Once you eliminate their ship’s hea

When it comes to talking about online cooperative shooters pretty much the last thing you expect people to say is ‘hey, you seen that pooping dog?’. And yet in The Division, for some glorious reason the people at Massive Entertainment decided to motion capture – or just animate – a canine excreting their waste bodily fluids. Guess they couldn’t let that hard work go to waste, as when I spoke to the Associate Creative Director he all but confirmed the dogs will be back in The Division 2. Adding i

There’s a funny little quirk about the upcoming Assassin’s Creed Odyssey: it doesn’t actually have… well, an assassin’s creed in it. Since Assassin’s Creed Odyssey is set during the Peloponnesian War between Athens and Sparta, your actions can garner unwanted attention. Replace cop cars with horses and pistols with javelins and you’ve basically got Assassin’s Theft Auto (Grand Theft Creed?). Assassin’s Creed Odyssey comes to PS4, Xbox One, and PC on October 5.
