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.

Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War Multiplayer Footage Leaks

-
Alpha footage from Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War's multiplayer appears to have leaked online, revealing a number of details about the mode ahead of its planned reveal on September 9. The multiplayer footage appears to have been accidentally streamed on Twitch by user DougisRaw for around seven minutes, with a four-minute segment of that stream being captured and circulated online. There is a lot to glean from the footage of the 6v6 VIP Escort match, which takes place on a new map set in Miami, and follows DougisRaw as they attempt to stop the enemy VIP from reaching an extraction point. Here's everything we noticed:
  • The four starting classes are Stealth Ops, Pointman, Grenadier, Fire Support and Double Agent.
  • Weapons have five attachment slots and level-based progression.
  • Some weapons shown in the footage include the XM4, the AK-74u, the M16 and the Gallo SA12 Shotgun.
  • Every loadout has a Tactical, Lethal and Field Upgrade slot, which is filled by the 'Field Mic' equipment in this footage.
  • Perks include Tactical Mask, Flak Jacket, Quartermaster, Scavenger, Ninja and Ghost.
  • Every loadout has a 'Wildcards' slot that lets players modify their loadout. One custom class features a wildcard called 'Perk Greed' which appears to let players take two perks per section.
  • Another Wildcard called 'Danger Close' looks as if it provides double tactical and lethal grenades.
  • It looks like multiplayer maps open with a quick cinematic - in this case, the team jumps out of a van.
  • Players only have one life each and can be incapacitated and revived in VIP Escort - the match ends when a team wins four rounds.
  • Each player has a visual health bar that gets depleted as they're shot.
  • The two factions in this particular mission are known as the CIA and the DGI.
  • The round ends with a montage of the 'Best Play' of the game.

The release date for the game's PS4 beta was leaked recently due to the Call of Duty: WW2 in-game storefront. The full game will launch later this year on November 13 for PC, PS4 and Xbox One, with next-gen versions of the game coming at a later date.
