Spare a thought for any game attempting to compete with GTA 6 today. It can’t be easy when big hitters like that inevitably suck all the air out the room, but bless the folks at Hollow Ponds for poking their heads above the 4K flamingo parapet anyway by releasing a lovely new demo for their upcoming critter collect ’em up Flock today. I’ve just been giving it a go over lunch, and it is truly a very relaxing way to decompress after a morning of poring over GTA gubbins.
When first I learned of Born Of Bread, it was getting towards lunchtime – yes, 10.30am absolutely counts as “getting toward lunchtime” – and my brain was immediately filled with savoursome thoughts of simulated baking. Born of Bread isn’t actually a baking sim. Even better than that: it’s some kind of spin on vintage Ninty RPG Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door, except that instead of being made of paper, the main character Loaf is made of living dough… but kind of looks like he’s made of paper, this being a 2.5D game with flat character art. Look, just watch the trailer while I make myself a sandwich.
Woe, woe unto the poor marketing teams of BioWare, who had the misfortune to release their latest Dragon Age: Dreadwolf video hours before the leak of the GTA 6 trailer. The Dragon Age trailer is just a teaser, with a full reveal coming in summer 2024, but it sheds some light on the new RPG‘s setting, and introduces a rather menacing character who sounds like Patrick Stewart – BioWare have yet to reveal the actor.
Grand Theft Auto 3 is to the open world game what 1993’s Doom is to the first-person shooter. The difference is that Doom is still worth playing today and Grand Theft Auto 3 is not – and neither is its better loved sequel, Grand Theft Auto: Vice City.
A while back, I had a feeling we’d see a lot of games about nature and plants and the wild coming out over the next few years, as developers and players alike emerged from being shut inside for basically a year like dairy cows during their annual spring turnout. We may not all be not be naturally disposed to it, but there’s much to be said for the fleeting, if unbridled happiness that comes from running barefoot into the teeth of the wind or getting caught in a rainstorm without a coat.
Nine times out of ten, you might get wet and have cold fingers, but that one time that you get wet, have cold fingers and feel red-raw and alive is a doozy. A Highland Song, a lone and dangerous jaunt through the Scottish highlands, is trying to capture that feeling, most especially in segments where you sprint across rocks and heather alongside a deer. At these times you leap in time to swelling music, and whoop and yell in spontaneous joy. It’s lovely. It’s also easy to stumble.
Rockstar have uploaded the first GTA 6 trailer ahead of schedule this evening after a second leak saw the whole thing get plastered across social media. Tomorrow, December 5th at 2pm GMT, was meant to be the grand reveal of GTA 6’s first trailer, but Rockstar have put the whole thing live early, confirming that, yes, it is going to be called GTA 6, and it’s coming in 2025.
We’re mere hours away from the first trailer for Grand Theft Auto 6, the simple teaser image for which has already sparked an internet-wide meme and thrown infinite fuel on the ever-burning GTA 6 rumour fire. Big questions remain, of course. Not least: when will GTA 6 actually be out? Yet some eagle-eyed internet detectives reckon GTA 6’s release date has been staring us all in the face – and nips – for months.
Stellaris Nexus hinges off one of the downsides of the Paradox space game’s epic scale – the amount of time it takes to finish a match – to present a bite-sized side dish of 4X nibbles if you only have an hour to play instead of, say, a day. Now that plate of nibbles is offering up, er, a basically identical plate of bite-sized nibbles that you don’t have to pay for right away, as the game has seen its early access release date – planned for tomorrow, no less – replaced by a last-minute week-long open beta.
Here’s a fun fact: Corsair started off making L2 cache modules in the 90s, before Intel started including a L2 cache in their CPUs. Corsair switched over to making RAM modules, and nearly 30 years later they’re still doing it – but the list of Corsair products has grown hugely.
Today we’re looking at two of Corsair’s best products in a £130 bundle at Scan in the UK: their 4000D Airflow PC case and their RM750 power supply. Both are well-regarded options for building your own gaming PC, and now you can pick them up together for more than £70 under RRP.
