Hopefully it’ll fix everything the last one broke What is it Wendy Cope wrote? “Bloody Fallout 4 patches are like bloody buses. You wait half a decade for one, and as soon as that one breaks everything, Bethesda releases another just days later.” Yeah, pretty sure that’s it.

It had been due to hit early access next week, but will now land later this month The Rogue Prince of Persia, a game that is pleasingly candid in choosing its name for a roguelite Prince of Persia spin-off, has been delayed.

Frontier have partnered with Universal to make a third Jurassic World videogame. It’s one of three new management games inbound from theEliteDangereux developer over the next few years, including a game based on one of Frontier’s own intellectual properties. All this is part of Frontier’s recent decision to double down on what they’re calling the “creative management sim” genre - I hadn’t come across “creative management sim” prior to writing this post, and I’m not sure how I feel about it....

Check out all those lovely silverbirch As I have now casually mentioned in about 400 news posts, I’m moving flat soon. During the quest for a new flat - a quest I would slot somewhere between return to Ravenholm inHalf-Life 2and the Shalebridge Cradle in Thief: Deadly Shadows in terms of overall hopefulness and unpleasant surprises - I toyed briefly with the idea of living in a mobile home. You can find all kinds of weirdo moving property on Gumtree - houseboats, caravans, yurts, large coats, coffins - but they all share the disadvantage of being cramped and more expensive than described and inadequate to the power and internet needs of a Maxed-Out Videogame Journalist....

I was tempted to exclusively call it the ‘mommy ship’ so consider yourselves lucky SpacefaringRTSHomeworld 3is good sci-fi. Monolithic structures scorched with plasma burns. Sleek spacecraft. Alien sunrises. It’s also good sci-fi because its characters converse through reams of inscrutable but cool-sounding space science, and at no point does a grinning quipster tell a scientist: “Whoa there, professor. Why don’t you try saying that again… but in English!” Basically, if your wishlist forHomeworld 3has tone and atmosphere at the top, rest easy....
