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.

Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 1 & 2: New Footage Shown at Gamescom

-
Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 1 & 2 has shown off new gameplay at Gamescom, and we've learned a little about how the game will approach adding secrets, tricks and more to the original games. In an interview with Vicarious Visions' Andy Gentile on Gamescom Studio, we showed off around 7 minutes of new gameplay (which you can watch below), showing off a variety of skaters going for high score's on a recreated version of the Downhill Jam level: [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2020/08/28/tony-hawks-pro-skater-12-developer-interview-whats-new-and-whats-unchanged"] As for the interview itself, Gentile was careful not to give too much away, but discussed how the remake will include some of the original games' Secrets, but add its own too - "I think people will be excited with what we've done," said Gentile. Challenges have also been added to, with some skater-specific goals added to offer a larger breadth of challenges. The game will also include new and renamed tricks alongside the original roster. "There are some special moves, like the double 360 flip, the hospital flip, castor flip underflip, all these kinds of little nuances. I'm not sure many people will notice, but for players like me I'm really excited to see some new variety making its way in." As for whether the game could add new features post-launch, Gentile was a little more cagey: "Could they? Yes. Will they? Maybe." We'll find out much more when the game arrives on Xbox One, PS4 and PC on September 4. There's much, much more to come from Gamescom 2020 on IGN - check out our full Gamescom schedule to find out what else is on the way.
