In an appropriately spooky bit of news for All Hallows’ Eve, Ghostbusters VR has re-emerged following its announcement tease earlier this year with a brand new subtitle – Rise of the Ghost Lord – and 2023 release date on PSVR 2 and Meta Quest 2. Ghostbusters: Rise of the Ghost Lord, a collaboration between Sony Pictures Virtual Reality and developer nDreams, promises to unleash an “extensive and engrossing” spirit-bothering adventure playable either solo or co-operatively with up to three friends. It also waves goodbye to the series’ traditional home of New York City and makes the jump to San Franciso,…
A NASCAR driver pulled off a wall ride stunt on the final lap of the Xfinity 500 race at Martinsville Speedway yesterday. The inspiration for the move came from NASCAR 2005, according to driver Ross Chastain. “I played a lot of NASCAR 2005 on the GameCube which I had growing up,” Chastain explained in his post-race interview. “You could get away with it,” he continued, referring to using the move in-game, “and I never knew if it would actually work [in real life].” Read more Source – eurogamer.net All content and images belong to their respected owners.

Call of Duty fans were quick to praise Modern Warfare 2’s Amsterdam level, with many complimenting how accurate Infinity Ward’s in-game depiction of the city was to real life. However, the hotel manager of Amsterdam’s Conservatorium Hotel is less happy about the establishment – known within Modern Warfare 2 as Breenbergh – showing up in a game that “[encourages] the use of violence”. The hotel is now considering its next possible steps in response to this inclusion. Read more Source – eurogamer.net All content and images belong to their respected owners.

Xbox boss Phil Spencer has made Microsoft’s plainest promise yet around the future of Call of Duty on PlayStation platforms. Speaking to the Same Brain Youtube channel, Spencer pledged to keep releasing Call of Duty games on Sony’s consoles “as long as there’s a PlayStation out there to ship to”. The future of Call of Duty on PlayStation has become a contentious topic for regulators such as the UK’s Competition and Markets Authority (CMA), which is currently scrutinising Microsoft’s planned $68n takeover of COD publisher Activision Blizzard.

Ikea has issued a cease and desist demand to an indie horror developer insisting they change their unreleased horror game in a bid to stop press and players alike from comparing it to its global furniture chain. The Store is Closed – which we told you about a couple of weeks ago – is a haunting mash-up of Endnight Games’ The Forest (which incidentally saw its sequel, Sons of the Forest, recently delayed) and the humdrum of everyday life, and comes from indie developer Ziggy. Whilst it doesn’t use any of Ikea’s products, names, or branding, Ikea believes the developer…
Update 7.41pm: After discovering the footage used in the mysterious video has been taken from an Unreal Engine 5 assets pack, it now appears that the video is a hoax. Whilst it’s unclear where the story originated – or why – for now, it’s best to presume this isn’t true until Konami, Virtuos, or TGA confirm otherwise. Original story follows. Original story: It looks like the long-rumoured Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater remake may be announced at the upcoming The Game Awards.

Scorn is one of the most visually distinctive games released in recent times. Clearly inspired by the work of HR Giger, the game’s environments marry mechanical intricacy with biology to create a highly unnerving experience. It’s sci-fi, but not hi-tech, with analogue mechanics, skeletal metalwork, and the occasional glimpse of something truly alive.On the surface, Scorn looks like a first-person shooter, but it has more in common with Myst or The Witness than Doom. This is a slow-paced, brooding title that requires puzzle-solving and careful exploration – but with a small team at the helm and a nearly 10-year development…
Hideo Kojima has posted a tribute to Ryan Karazija, the lead singer and founder of Low Roar whose work many of us know from Kojima’s atmospheric Death Stranding soundtrack. Karazija died over the weekend at just 40 years old “after a short illness” due to complications from pneumonia. “I heard the news. I can’t believe it. I don’t want to believe it,” Kojima tweeted.

Sony Santa Monica’s Cory Barlog has apologised that fans have to “dodge the spoilers” after retailers broke the “street date” for its highly-anticipated sequel, God of War Ragnarök. Sony’s exclusive is out on 9th November, but it seems players have got their hands on it early and are sharing screenshots online, as well as spoilers about the game’s key story beats. “You know, right now, I can really understand the benefit of having just an installer on the physical disc. smh”, Barlog tweeted overnight.
