Microsoft Flight Simulator 4 release date demoted to subheadline in outrageous snub
A new Gears game, eh? By gar, it’s been a while. The series has been at low ebb sinceGears 5and frankly, I’d question its on-going relevance - everything Gears did well has long since been nicked and incorporated into a bunch of other shooters, not least its legendary (yes, I know Kill.Switch got there first) cover system. I do love me a good Gears campaign, though - that atmosphere of perpetual imminent ambush, the winding canyon level design, “destroyed beauty”, etc - and it’s been a while since Gears 5, which Matt Castle (RPS in peace)liked, and which remains one of ourbest PC co-op games. Who knows what The Coalition are doing with it right now? Even fancier dynamic weather? Expanded open worldy bits? Locusts with wasps coming out of their mouths? I’m curious to see more.
As for this year’s Call of Duty, it’srumoured to be a new Black Ops game set during the first Gulf War- one codename is or was “Cerberus”, and the official title likely won’t beBlack Ops 6. The story is apparently an ensemble affair, as is often the case for COD.
The showcase will run on Sunday, June 9th at 10AM PT, 1pm ET, or 6pm UK. We’ll be at the show itself and also, reporting from afar. Expect lots of sneery remarks about interlude music.
