Hello! Welcome back to a stray installment of our occasional series, Someone Should Make a Game About. This week Alexis looks at the glory days of pop. “Imagine [Jedward] coming up against All the Things She Said – it’s like David vs. Goliath if David lost,” — Cian Maher In the third year of the pandemic, I hit upon, quite arguably, the greatest idea I’ve had in my life: a fantasy fighting league made up of your favorite 90s/00s pop bands. I’m not talking about a DDR-style or rhythm game that involves matching beats – I’m talking about a Blaseball-style…

Nintendo will offer a deep dive into its ink-based first-person shooter, with around 30 minutes of news set to be broadcast online.

My fireteam and I – hitherto committed to PUBG but casually on the lookout for something else, so unhappy were we with the lack of communication, infrequent updates, and all-too-common disconnects – had been on the hunt for a new team-based shooter, and Apex Legends scratched an itch that neither Fortnite nor PUBG could reach. Fun, chaotic, and built on fantastically snappy gunplay, Respawn’s surprise battle royale hit the floor running, and we fell for it faster than Bangalore drop, shock and locks. Apex Legends’ arrival was smooth, too, immediately feeling polished, and it offered a frantic, pacey twist on…
In a lengthy document submitted to the Brazilian government as part of its investigation into Microsoft’s acquisition of Activision Blizzard, Microsoft has claimed Sony pays developers “blocking rights” to prevent games from appearing on Xbox Game Pass. The accusation appears in a 27-page rebuttal of Sony’s recent objections to Microsoft’s Activision Blizzard buyout, made to Brazil’s Administrative Council for Economic Defense (CADE) as part of its investigation. Much of Sony’s argument had focused on Call of Duty – which it claimed had “no rival” and was “so popular that it influences users’ choice of console” – with the PlayStation maker…
Betrayal At Club Low – the latest jazz-infused odyssey from The Norwood Suite developer Cosmo D – finally has a release date, and will be swinging open its murderous doors for some woozily surreal adventure on 9th September. Folding into the broader narrative of Cosmo D’s interconnected Off-Peak City games (so far consisting of 2015’s Off-Peak, 2017’s The Norwood Suite, and its 2020 follow-up Tales from Off-Peak City Vol. 1), Betrayal At Club Low sees players going undercover to attempt a rescue mission of sorts by infiltrating a “deceptively dangerous” nightclub/former coffin factory/”haven for wild-limbed dancing, mind-altering music and shady…
The embargo for the highly anticipated Marvel’s Spider-Man Remastered lifted today and you may be wondering where the Digital Foundry coverage is – we received the game a while back along with most other outlets. Well, the truth is that developer Nixxes is still hard at work with the game, patches are still incoming (the latest arriving a few hours ago) and we’re intent on delivering coverage that accurately reflects the state of the game you’ll be playing on day oneas best as we can manage. Right now, the port is looking exceptionally impressive in many regards but to briefly…

Blizzard has announced an end date for the sale of Overwatch loot boxes – after one final in-game loot box event to sell lots of them beforehand. The option to buy loot boxes will be removed from Overwatch at the end of the game’s current Anniversary Remix event, which wraps up on 30th August. In a blog post on the event, Blizzard noted that its loot boxes have a chance to contain rare items from previous Anniversary and seasonal events, and told fans not to “wait too long to snag those skins you’ve been eyeing for the past year”.

The next chapter coming to Dead by Daylight, Project W, is a second dose of Resident Evil that adds Wesker as a new Killer.

One month after the release of Monster Hunter Rise: Sunbreak, Capcom has detailed the expansion’s first free post-launch update, which arrives tomorrow, 10th August, bringing a heap of new additions – including four new monsters – for hardened hunters.
