Solo developer Jeff Lew worked on The Matrix Reloaded - and it shows Killer Bean the game is a third-person shooter roguelike that procedurally generates a whole new campaign - from locations and the enemies and bosses you’ll fight there - each time you play. That sounds fairly ambitious in itself, before you start referencing the plethora of gameplay features going on here. There’s Just Cause vehicle play - the new trailer shows the Killer Bean skidding around in a car mowing down foes in a hail of bullets before leaping out, as well as grabbing a grenade in mid-air to lob it back to a group of baddies - andMax Payne-y bullet diving in slow motion, along with some Wanted-level bullet physics in first-person as bullets (which look to be steered with a SniperElite-like bullet cam) ricochet off each other to turn 90-degree corners around walls....

As per leaks earlier today Here’s the teaser trailer: In the SGF stream, the trailer was followed by a brief to-camera segment from Sid Meier himself. He said nothing really of note, but I do delight in seeing him.

UFO 50is a collection of fictional retro games designed as if they were made for a non-existent games console 40 years ago, but in reality have been developed as brand new titles for an upcoming collection from indie devs includingSpelunkycreator Derek Yu. With the ambitious project nearing a decade in its own development, though, those games have now taken on their own real history in addition to their made-up one. Those histories will meet this September, when UFO 50 finally sees the light of day....

Iron Brew Oh, this one looks nice, doesn’t it?Tears Of Metalis a rousing medieval stabathon that sees you retaking your Scottish island from a bunch of bad lads who’ve decided to come have a go, which was a bit silly of them, honestly. It’s a hack n’ slashco-oproguelike with some nifty looking strategy elements and a striking art style, but you can tell most of that from the trailer below:...

I’m not that GaaSed about it This one’s a four playerco-opjoint, where you’ll team up to shoot dudes, collect loot, shoot more dudes, collect more loot, tweak your loadout, pay a weekly shopping bill’s worth of cash for a fancy shirt probably, collect more loot, then fight a very large boss. Each of the characters have different elemental abilities, and there’s also a grappling hook in there somewhere why not. The idea is, I take it, to chain abilities and movement tech together in a sort of free-flowing violence dance, alaWarframe....

Console players will be able to join the closed Insider programme later this year Things that weren’t on my Summer Game Fest bingo card: a surprise appearance from I Think You Should Leave’s Tim Robinson. Things also not on my Summer Geoff Fest bingo card: that Tim Robinson would show up to reassure us that, yes,Skateis still in the works. Robinson (who, it should be said, is a dedicated skateboarder) cameoed with a very Tim Robinson bit about a nightmare office, teasinga real website from a fake company called M Corp....

Ivy Road’s Wanderstop gets pretty bleak for a shop-keeping sim, but who’s surprised? When the Summer Game Fest trailer for “narrative-centric cosy game"Wanderstopsaid it was from the creator behindThe Stanley Parable, I thought I had surely entered a different dimension where The Stanley Parable was actually a wholesome shop-keeping sim rather than a zig-zagging office-based nightmare. Then Wanderstop started to get rather bleak, and I finally stopped pinching myself. See for yourself....

Heroic last flop Maddock was 22 at the time - “10% of my life on the project!’ - and while the “devastating” failure of Fishards had set the devs on the different paths, they decided to give it another shot. They made the game free-to-play, and spent all the money they’d earned from sales on marketing. “It brought a few new players into the game but not as many as we’d hoped....

We’re going to need more than 40 quarters Enough moons ago to qualify as quite a lot of moons but not so much for me to categorise them as ‘many’, Alice Beewroteabout an Itch game called Kevin Costner’s Waterworld - a fully playable extrapolation of a Simpsons’ joke from three decades ago. Simpsons jokes from three decades making up most of my sense of humour, I of course thought it was brilliant....

The Asus ROG Ally X! Nvidia Project G-Assist! Intel Battlemage, briefly! Taipei’s annual Computex event is always a big, circled, triple-underlined mark in the PC gaming hardware calendar.

Granted, AI is a broad field, and not everything about it is necessarily gross or creatively bankrupting....
