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.

PT Reportedly Has PS5 Backwards Compatibility Removed By Konami Before Release

-
After hope for backwards compatibility, PT appears not to work on PS5 through any means. But strangely, it seems that hasn't always been the case, with Konami reportedly removing compatibility ahead of the new console's launch. As reported by Polygon, the now-iconic horror game teaser for Silent Hills was seemingly playable on PS5 using a file transfer in October. However, after an update, the game can no longer be played on the new console - something IGN Japan has confirmed. Polygon reports that, when contacted for comment, Sony said the change was a "publisher decision", meaning Konami would have specifically blocked the game from being played on new hardware (and effectively making it even harder for the game to be preserved, after it was made non-downloadable on the PS Store). [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2020/04/25/how-pt-became-a-modern-urban-legend"] Interestingly, Konami told us in October that it was "testing" its PS4 games for backwards compatibility, and couldn't confirm whether PT would work. We did however know that it would not be downloadable from the PS5 store, even if already owned. We've contacted the publisher for comment. In a long, strange history, this is yet another odd turn in the tale for PT. While there was no love lost between Konami and PT creator Hideo Kojima when the game director left the company, it's not entirely clear why Konami would want to manually block players from playing one of its most striking modern games.
