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.

PlayStation 5 Internal Storage Upgrades Will Reportedly Be Enabled This Summer

-
Players will be able to upgrade their PlayStation 5 internal storage following an update in the summer, according to a Bloomberg report. Sources close to the planning process told Bloomberg that a firmware patch will arrive later this year, and will let players upgrade the internal storage on the console with compatible M.2 SSD drives. The console launched with the upgradable expansion slot, but it's been unusable – the patch will finally activate it, allowing owners to improve upon the 667 GB of storage available from the PS5's internal SSD, crucially letting them store more than a few PS5 games on the system at one time. [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2021/02/25/state-of-play-live-stream-playstation"] The console's storage can already be expanded via an external drive connected by USB, but it will only be able to play and store PS4 games. At present, native PS5 games have to be played on the console's internal storage, but this reported patch will at least let players have more internal space for PS5 games. Bloomberg's report says that the update will also unlock "higher cooling-fan speeds" to support custom drives and mitigate overheating. This reported patch will be important given the ballooning storage real-estate taken up by modern games. Earlier this week, Activision said that 500 GB PS4 owners may "need to make room" if they wish to have the fully updated versions of Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War and Warzone installed. In other PlayStation 5 news, Sony hosted a State of Play this week that revealed new games such as Sufi and Final Fantasy 7 Remake: Intergrade.
