For real life Bluey is one of the best shows on television. If you’re a parent, you’re probably nodding in agreement right now. If you’re not, I need to stress that this is not a bit and I am not being ironic. The kids' cartoon that Rolling Stone namedthe 96th best sitcom of all timereally is that good. Now it’s getting a video game. The game seems to hew pretty closely to the show in terms of art style, despite a clear switch to 3D....

I will also give you Ghostwire: Tokyo 2, that game owned The Zenithesda plan is a litany of safe bets, because that’s the culture of games now. It costs loads to make a big game, so for a company with shareholders it makes more sense to make and remake the same things over and over again because that will yield profit more reliably than taking a big swing with something weird or new....

Also, “Project Kestrel” and an untitled licensed IP game Here’s the full presentation slide for your educated peepers. Thanks for spotting it,The Verge.

They’ve already spent 17 years remaking Oblivion anyway According to leaked documents,Microsoft are/were remastering Oblivion and Fallout 3. This is boring. The past decade of innumerable remasters has been boring enough, but remastering these two games is particularly boring. When even bother when all Bethesda have made since Oblivion is Oblivion remakes with added spacesuits or yelling? Boring. But while I think the torrent of remasters is a miserable sign of big publishers just giving up, if they’re going to do it anyway: why notMorrowind?...

Going for a Scream After a draining day’s reportage upon the thoroughly alien doings of vast corporate publishers, I like nothing better than to flee, blabbing and weeping, into the arms of a micro-RPG. Scumhead’sFranzen- released a few days ago onSteamandItch- has a couple of big draws, straight off the bat. Firstly and least importantly, it’s free, which it really shouldn’t be. Secondly and more significantly, it’s one of those rare RPG miniatures that is both richly imagined and snappy, with a busy and befuddling world in which you have immediate clear motivations that escalate rapidly and breed Dire Implications....

I’m not lying At first glance,Lies Of Plooks like a wannabeBloodbornereskin, replacing theGothicedges of Yarnham with a twisted version of a kid’s fairytale. There are silhouettes in windows sheltering from an infection that’s plagued the populace and puppets who’ve gone awol. Take damage and you’ve got a chance to recoup the costs by smacking the baddie back. There’s a bit where you platform down a large well, thin planks of wood marking your descent....

“It’s just taking a long time for Nintendo to see that their future exists off of their own hardware…” In the latest unredacted document oopsie stemming from the US Federal Trade Commission’s efforts to stop Microsoft acquiring Activision Blizzard, an email from Microsoft gaming CEO Phil Spencer has surfaced in which he discusses the idea of buying Nintendo. “Takesji, I totally agree that Nintendo is THE prime asset for us in Gaming and today Gaming is our most likely path to consumer relevance,” the email begins....

Cower before the onset of “Cohesive Hybrid Compute” As you’ve hopefully read elsewhere on here, there’s been an overnight windfall of insider info about Microsoft’s long-term gaming biz objectives, thanks to documents accidentally released by the US Federal Trading Commission during its court case against Microsoft’s Activision-Blizzard acquisition. We’ve learned thatMicrosoft are still rather keen on buying Nintendo (and Valve), and that the company hadplanned out the release of Dishonored 3, an Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion remaster and a Ghostwire: Tokyo sequelduring the run-up to its acquisition of ZeniMax....

Features quieter buttons The FTC vs Microsoft-initiatedDay of Leakagecontinues with details of forthcoming Xbox peripherals, amongst them a grey-and-white “Sebile” controller offering all manner of haptic and motion-sensitivity-based wonderment. Hah, the only thing it doesn’t let you do is commune with the dead! Actually, there are a few other things it doesn’t let you do, but let’s stick to the positives for the moment. The Sebile controller will also offer “quieter buttons and thumbsticks”, for the apparently vast number of you who are driven berserk by soft clicking noises, a rechargeable and swappable battery, modular thumbsticks, more precise haptic feedback, haptics that double as controller speakers, and a self-explanatory “lift to wake” feature....

What is wrong with his mouth??? Readers, I have a confession to make. I might have to stop playingStarfield. Not because its main story quests are intensely boring and repetitive. And not because itsplanets are all mostly dull, lifeless husks. It’s mainly because wherever I go in the universe, I’m haunted by the fleshy spectre of a misshapen man. I’m not even talking about theadoring fan(though he does also stalk my every step, too)....

This Chowder Lifestyle, hey, give it a chance I am in control of theRPS Game Clubthis month, so therefore I can do whatever I want - and this time I’m delving into the world ofHypnospace Outlaw’s music. No other gamesoundslike Hypnospace. Featuring a veritable mountain of tracks (most of which was composed by the game’s creator, Jay Tholen), Hypnospace’s extensive catalogue stretches across genres both real and imaginary. While Seepage’sNothing Left For Meis a clear pastiche of Linkin Park, Fre3zer’sIcy Girlis a purposefully poor attempt to mimic Coolpunk, a genre built upon remixes of a jingle for a discontinued soda brand....

GOTY contenders both Hop onto Game Pass today and you’ll find the launch day arrival of Lies Of P, which Ed describes as “an instant must-play for Soulslikers” inhis review. I’m a Soulsavoider, so I’m more interested in the other games coming to Microsoft’sFull Convergence stepping stonein the next couple of weeks, includingCocoonandThe Lamplighters League. Cocoon is the new game from Jeppe Carlsen, who was previously designer onLimboandInside. It’s about an insect fella who dives into portable orb-worlds to solve puzzles, and it delighted busyboy Edback in June....
