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.

GTA 5 and Red Dead Redemption 2 Next-Gen Backwards Compatibility Announced

-
Rockstar has announced that Grand Theft Auto 5 and Red Dead Redemption 2, as well as numerous other older games from the developer, will be backwards compatible on PS5 and Xbox Series X|S consoles. The PS4 and Xbox One versions of GTA 5 and RDR 2 will be playable on the new next-gen consoles. Progress can be carried across, either through the use of cloud saves or manual transfer via USB storage or LAN/wi-fi transfer, for campaign save games. Progress in the Online components of GTA and RDR will be carried across via your Rockstar Social Club profile, provided you sign in with the same PSN/Xbox Live account you used previously. [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2020/06/11/grand-theft-auto-5-enhanced-edition-trailer-ps5-reveal-event"] In addition to GTA 5 and RDR 2, the most recent version of L.A. Noire (as well as the VR Case Files on PS4) will also be backwards compatible on next-gen. Also detailed by Rockstar are the developer’s other games that will be available through backwards compatibility. On Xbox, these 360 and original Xbox games will be playable: Bully: Scholarship Edition, GTA 4, GTA: Episodes from Liberty City, GTA: San Andreas, Midnight Club: Los Angeles, Red Dead Redemption, Rockstar Games Presents Table Tennis. As for PS5, these games available from the PS Store will carry over to PS5: Bully, GTA 3, GTA: San Andreas, GTA: Vice City, Manhunt, Max Payne, Red Dead Revolver, The Warriors. [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2018/11/27/the-first-17-minutes-of-red-dead-online-gameplay"] Rockstar has yet to announce any form of free next-gen update for these games, and so while they will likely be enhanced due to the power of the next-gen consoles, none of these games will be optimized or upgraded for PS5 or Xbox Series X right now. We do know that there will be GTA 5: Enhanced Edition for next-gen, although it's unclear if this is a paid-for re-release or a free update. There will be a standalone version of GTA Online released for PS5 in 2021, though. [poilib element="accentDivider"] Matt Purslow is IGN's UK News and Entertainment Writer.
