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.

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.

PlayStation 5 Showcase Announced for Next Wednesday

-
Sony has announced that a PlayStation 5 showcase will broadcast live on Wednesday, September 16, 2020, at 1pm PT/4pm ET/9pm BST. Announced on PlayStation Blog, this showcase will "feature updates on the latest titles from Worldwide Studios and our world-class development partners." It's not specifically mentioned, but one could assume that we will also find out the price and release date of both the PlayStation 5 and PlayStation 5 Digital Edition, as Microsoft has finally revealed that both the Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S will be released on November 10, 2020, at $499 and $299, respectively. This will be the first focused PS5 event since the reveal of the console itself and such PS5 games as Marvel's Spider-Man: Miles Morales and Horizon Forbidden West. [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2020/06/12/ps5-reveal-event-in-5-minutes"] While pre-orders have yet to go up for the PS5, Sony has offered its fans a way to sign up for a chance to be one of the first to buy a PlayStation 5 or PlayStation 5 Digital Edition, as well as many of the official accessories. Sony has also confirmed that PS5 pre-orders won't be a surprise, so if Sony does announce a price and release date at this upcoming event, it will most likely open up pre-orders at a later date. Microsoft did something similar, as pre-orders will go live for the Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S on September 22, 2020. To stay up to date, be sure to check out our Everything We Know About Pre-Orders So Far article that will be up to date with all the info you will need to help you secure one of Sony's next-gen consoles.
