IGN UK Podcast #559: The Manic Marsupial and Jesse's Voice Changer

-
The manic marsupial, AKA Crash Bandicoot is back, and because he forgot to press record the first time; so is Dale with a second go at explaining all his thoughts on the game. Jesse is also on and has been playing a ton of Star Wars: Squadrons. In other news, he also has a new voice changer toy that distracts us for a good 30 seconds too. Cardy rounds off the trio by telling us all about his early thoughts of the Mafia Remaster and we also have an extremely tight round of The Endless Search that needs an action replay to decide a winner. It's tense stuff. Remember, if you want to get in touch with the podcast, please do: ign_ukfeedback@ign.com.

The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom Preloading Has Begun

-
The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom isn't out for another week, but it's now officially available for preloading. As of today, Nintendo Switch users who preordered Tears of the Kingdom digitally can now preload the game a week early as expected. Of course, it still won't be playable until the game officially unlocks, but preloading it now might help you jump back into the world of Hyrule a little bit earlier — as GameSpot pointed out, the file is 16.2GB. Some fans have reported difficulty with getting the preload to begin, but it appears there's a simple solution. According to Twitter user @PhantomxKairi, canceling the preorder and preordering again should prompt the preload to begin correctly. My digital version of Tears of the Kingdom is now preloading on my Switch! For those who don't see the preload yet (I used a NSO game voucher) cancel the preorder and preorder again, download will pop up! Can't wait for May 12th <3 #Zelda #ZeldaTearsofth

Metacritic Is Delaying User Reviews Until 36 Hours After a Game is Released

-
Metacritic, the popular review aggregating website, has decided to delay user reviews for new games until 36 hours after they've been released in a defense against "review bombing." As reported by GameSpot, this decision comes only a few weeks after the release of The Last of Us Part 2, which is one of the most recent examples of games targeted by negative reviews, many of which come only hours after a game is completed. Considering The Last of Us Part 2 can take 20-30 hours to complete, many early reviews were assuredly from those who had yet to finish it. [widget path="global/article/imagegallery" parameters="albumSlug=the-best-reviewed-games-of-2020&captions=true"] "We recently implemented the 36 hour waiting period for all user reviews in our games section to ensure our gamers have time to play these games before writing their reviews," a Metacritic spokesperson said in a statement to GameSpot. "This new waiting period for user reviews has been rolled out across Metacritic's Games section and was based on data-driven research and with the input of critics and industry experts." Metacritic stated the decision was not directly linked to any particular game, but was a move in the fight to stop these "review bombers" from bringing down a game's overall user score as soon as it's released. In addition to the user review issues, online harassment and death threats were also targeted at The Last of Us Part 2's Laura Bailey and director Neil Druckmann. Fortunately, many came to their defense and, as Bailey put it, "I've always believed that good people far outweigh the bad. Thanks for reminding me of that today."
