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.

What PS5's Create Button Actually Does

-
Of the many changes Sony’s new PS5 controller, the DualSense, brings with it is an alteration to the Share button on the DualShock 4, which has let us post clips of Fall Guys wins and Spider-Man photo mode pics for years. But what, if anything, does the Create button actually bring differently to the PlayStation experience? Well, now that we have had time with the PS5, we can share a bit more about what the new button actually does differently, and what has stayed the same. [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/first-look-at-the-ps5-ui"] For all its newness, the Create Button actually brings up a rather understated UI - as opposed to the PS4’s Share UI that came in from the side, the Create button temporarily fills the bottom of your screen with a minimal black bar and a few icons. Far more quickly – and with no lag compared to the slow-moving PS4 UI – you're able to share your current screen as a screenshot, capture recent gameplay, or start a recording for future play. With the capture recent gameplay option, the PS5 has temporarily saved the last few minutes of play, and lets you clip out the last 15 seconds, the last 30 seconds, and more increments of time – all the way up to the last hour of gameplay. And of course, with the start recording option, the PS5 will then capture any subsequent gameplay. [widget path="global/article/imagegallery" parameters="albumSlug=ps5-ui-screenshots&captions=true"] When it comes to those capture options for video and photos, there are actually plenty of customization options directly available from the Create button share screen, which is arguably one of the best new features for the button. Players can adjust the screenshot file type (JPG or PNG), the video clip file type (WebM or MP4), manual recording resolution adjustments (1920 x 1080 or 3840 x 2160), and whether to include the audio from your microphone or party audio in any clips. These can be set as defaults, but can be adjusted at any time by hitting the Create button. And while you're in the Create Button's overlay, you can also bring up your past video and photo captures in a gallery, cycling through your past saved files as well as any photo or video captures from Trophy moments. [poilib element="poll" parameters="id=76db97e3-8792-444f-ab52-72236a689eb2"] There’s also a button to start broadcasting gameplay, but as we’ve been playing pre-launch, we haven’t broadcast any gameplay – we’ll be sure to test that more after launch.
