Weird West Review

-
In this alternate universe, the West was won by trying a bunch of ideas so crazy they just might work… and if they don’t, hitting the quick-load button to revert to an earlier save and trying something even crazier until you pull it off. Thanks to that freedom to experiment with its world as you explore, Weird West is one of those games that feels like a stealth and combat playground even as it tells five mostly serious, well-written stories with interesting decisions throughout and a thoughtful conclusion. And with so much ground to cover and replayability to investigate, it’s well worth putting up with some quirks and underwhelming loot. What ties Weird West’s plot together is a group of shadowy figures using a magical brand to force your character’s consciousness into the bodies of various unsuspecting people. It’s a clever play on the way so many games have us take control of a character who already exists in that world but still need to bring us up to speed on their identity: h...

Warhammer 40K: Rogue Trader – How Did it Take This Long to Get a Warhammer CRPG?

-
It’s truly bizarre that across the nearly 30 years of Warhammer video games, we haven’t had a single one that attempted to channel the tabletop Warhammer experience by utilizing the genre that feels best suited to do so: CRPGs. But that’s all about to change, as Pathfinder developer Owlcats has been cooking up something to fill this void. During an extensive hands-off demo of Warhammer 40K: Rogue Trader, I checked out its extremely chunky turn-based combat system, drowned in its plethora of dialogue options and social skill checks, and nodded approvingly at its lovingly faithful depiction of Warhammer’s morbid universe. While it’s still very early, so far this CRPG is shaping up to be everything I’ve wanted from a Warhammer video game. If you’ve ever played (or even glanced at) a game of Warhammer 40K, then you probably know it’s designed for a hyper-specific kind of nerd who loves calculations, large-scale drama, and an incredibly detailed world one could easily get lost in.

Hyper Scape, a New FPS Battle Royale, Announced by Ubisoft

-
Ubisoft has fully revealed Hyper Scape, the FPS battle royale game that has been teased (and partially leaked) over the last few days. Hyper Scape is a free-to-play first-person battle royale coming to PC, Xbox One, and PS4. Ubisoft have targeted a Summer 2020 release, starting with a short closed ‘Technical Test’ on PC that will run July 2 - 7, with more ‘phases’ to follow in the build up to full release. [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2020/07/02/hyper-scape-preview"] Set in a VR world called the Hyper Scape, the game focuses on a sport called Crown Rush, in which 100 players split into squads of 3 compete for victory. Wins can be claimed in the usual last-team-standing manner, or by claiming a crown objective in the final phase of the match and holding onto it for 45 seconds. Unlike most battle royales, Hyper Scape’s stand-out feature is that it takes place on an entirely urban map. This city - clearly influenced by Paris - is also littered with jump pads to allow for fast-paced vertical movement. The game is also connected to Twitch to allow spectators a level of influence over games and earn rewards just by watching. During the technical test viewers will be able to vote on in-game events, such as giving all players unlimited ammo. In the full game, viewers will also be able to unlock battle pass progression by watching people stream Hyper Scape, and even join the squad of their favourite streamers. [widget path="global/article/imagegallery" parameters="albumSlug=hyper-scape-screenshots&captions=true"] The technical test, available on PC from today, features nine different weapons and nine ‘hacks’; special abilities such as a teleport and an invisibility cloak that can help give players an edge. The technical test also features a 10-tier battle pass for free, and anything earned from it will be carried over into the full release. To get in and play during this short period, you'll need to watch Hyper Scape streams on Twitch and wait for a Twitch Drop, which will then grant access to the technical test servers. For more on Hyper Scape, check out our hands-on preview of the technical test, which goes in-depth on its vertical map, new approach to death, and how it’s a battle royale without a shrinking circle.
