The 30th anniversary PS5 is available to pre-order at more stores

Bonjour, Baldur’s Gate 3’s getting a nice new hotfix for all platforms today, October 16, and as you’d expect for the first one to drop since Patch 7 brought mods to everyone, it’s got a lot of fixes that should help those who’re keen to – or have already – unleashed a big load (order) of stuff on their game.Judging by the numbers Larian’s put out, it seems that’s plenty of people too, so it’s a good thing that the studio’s been quick to fix stuff that might impede us all giving Lae’zel a mohawk, finding dodgy ways to mess with Gale, and actually downloading a useful mod once in a while.To see this content please enable targeting cookies.Manage cookie settings “Hotfix 28 addresses a few crashes and blockers, integrates a handful of gameplay bug fixes, and resolves some issues with the Mod …

Geforce Now is great. It’s a game streaming service that actually works. Amazing. Game Pass is great. It’s a game subscription service that offers an awful lot of choice, including many day one-release games, and a lot of those games are playable on Nvidia’s streaming platform. What could make this union better, you ask? It’s all about how you log in.While the two services combine brilliantly to let you play Game Pass games almost anywhere you have a good internet connection, there has been a problem: you have to log into your Microsoft account to play the games. “Big deal,” I am sure many of you are huffing to yourselves. “This guy doesn’t even know he’s born,” etc. Well, I do (sadly it was over 40 years ago now), and also, playing Game Pass games on a device that doesn’t have a keyboard …

Wish you could play Goat Simulator 3 on the go? I’ve got great news, as it was announced during today’s Nintendo Direct that the comedy sim is coming to Switch.As always, no, you didn’t miss Goat Simulator 2, as 3 is actually 2, because there is no 2. Simple, right? Not really, but what is simple is that the game is finally coming to Nintendo Switch digitally later today, as confirmed during today’s Nintendo Direct. An exact time hasn’t been confirmed as of yet, so if you’re desperate to cause havoc as a goat and other animals in a not quite sim game, you’ll just need to keep your eyes peeled. For those that prefer physical releases, you’ll be able to pick this one up sometime in November, though again, an exact release date wasn’t confirmed.Goat Simulator 3 – Launch Trailer – …

Massive Entertainment has decided to offer up its stance on the ‘who shot first, Han or Greedo’ debate in Star Wars Outlaws and has quickly proven itself wrong.Pretty much every Star Wars fan under the sun has a take on whether Han or Greedo shot first in A New Hope. It’s an argument as old as time, and there is a correct answer if you like good storytelling, though creator George Lucas, ever the fan of retcons and alterations, did make it so that later versions of the film saw Greedo shoot first. In the very original, before Lucas made his wholly unnecessary changes, Han Solo shoots first, which is important because he’s not meant to be a hero yet, and allows him to go on a character arc (storytelling, a novel concept). But Massive Entertainment has decided to go with what is technically …

Oh dear, players have been continuing to give the devs behind Once Human their feedback for season 2, and apparently it’s been “quite demoralising.”Once Human hasn’t exactly had the smoothest of starts for a live-service game, with players not being the happiest about those seasonal resets, as well as some frustrating server queue times, but that just comes with the territory sometimes in the field. However, it seems like the game’s second season hasn’t gone down all that well with players, with Starry Studio responding to complaints on Once Human’s Discord server (thanks, Eurogamer). In a statement, the developer explained, “Since the start of Season 2, we’ve received a lot of feedback.To see this content please enable targeting cookies.Manage cookie settings “Some of it has been quite de…

Great news for all you Concord players out there, official merch is now avialable for sale or pre-order. Listed on the US version of the PlayStation Gear store, you can pick up a Concord mug, t-shirt, hoodie or beanie to show your love for Sony’s hottest live service release. If they’re anything like the game, they’ll be flying off the shelves, so buy ’em while you can.As we all know, Concord is one of the more interesting games to be released in recent memory. The hero-shooter was released and promptly shut down about two weeks later. It was pulling in only a few hundred players on Steam on launch day, with those figures dropping down below the three digit mark around its death. Still, nothing screams high fashion like irony-rich clothing.To see this content please enable targeting cookie…

Stop me if you’ve heard this before. There’s a game that’s so not old even dickheads in their early to mid twenties like me clearly remember it coming out and being able to buy it without necessarily having to beg our parents, and it’s seemingly getting a remaster.This time, the game is Horizon Zero Dawn, with an ESRB listing looking to have leaked that PlayStation and Guerilla Games are set to release a thing that only came out in 2017 and to PC in 2020 again. Why? No idea, but this does come not long after the reveal of that not at all expensive PS5 Pro.To see this content please enable targeting cookies.Manage cookie settings As of writing, the listing is still up, and it suggests that Horizon Zero Dawn Remastered – something that’s previously been rumoured to be coming – will be arrivi…

Not long after Larian released its official modding toolkit for Baldur’s Gate 3, it took next to no time for modders to find out how to unlock extra functions that’ve helped get the ball rolling on the likes of custom maps and possibly full custom campaigns further down the line. Using a modified version of those official tools, one modder’s now put together what looks to be one of the game’s first fully-custom quests.To my knowledge this isn’t the first attempt at adding a quest to BG3, with Family Legacy being a pre-modding example that accomplishes its goal using notes and some unique items, but it does appear to be one of – if not the first – to make use of both the custom location creation and in-depth tweaking of NPCs/quest mechanics that these new tools can make possible.

Helldivers 2’s most recent patch helped trigger a nice turnaround in player feeling towards the game, as well as an uptick in player numbers. As you might expect, this been a boon for Arrowhead’s devs, with one saying morale at the studio has been “much, much better” lately.Previously, Arrowhead CCO Johan Pilestedt had described the difficulties of keeping the spirit at the studio positive while it was facing criticism from players over the direction it had gone with its changes to the game, writing: “It’s a tricky situation. The criticism is valid, but it causes low morale, and low morale causes slow development speed. Talk about negative spiral.”To see this content please enable targeting cookies.Manage cookie settings Thankfully things sound much rosier in a recent response Arrowhead co…
