Bigger and better Seems like there’ll be plenty more bloodthirsty creatures and god-like monsters to get a’brawling with inRemnant 2- that’s the case from the looks of the new trailer revealed during this year’sSummer Game Fest, at least. We’ve already seena teaserof Gearbox Publishing’s upcoming action-survival sequel, but this one seriously pulls out all the stops. You can cast your peepers over the new trailer below. My eyeballs feel like they’re melting after watching that, and I have so many questions....

Please, my father is very old and has earned his rest Look, I’m maybe a little too into tragic heroic sacrifices, but I was a little disappointed that they couldn’t let Kiryu go. It felt a little cheap in Yakuza 6, and it especially feels cheap now he’s properly back. Even if I do quite like the idea of him as a secret agent man (I do hopeRC Succession’s Japanese versionis on karaoke machines)....

With the 2TB model costing $120 - a great deal for a TLC drive with a DRAM cache. The Solidigm P44 Pro is a fast, capable PCIe 4.0 drive on par with the WD SN850 and Samsung 980 Pro, but it’s often substantially cheaper than either - thanks to aggressive pricing from its manufacturer, flash memory giant SK Hynix. You can now pick up a 1TB P44 Pro for just $65, an excellent deal for a PCIe 4....

Jump jump Afteryet another wonky adventure into 3D land, Sonic the prickly-pig returns to his native perspective this autumn withSonic Superstars. It’s a side-on platforming adventure with 3D art, and four-player drop-in, drop-out local cooperative multiplayer too. Four! Do you even have that many siblings you need to hand controllers and play Tails so they can pretend they’re helping and your mum doesn’t tell you off for excluding them? Sonic, Tails, Knuckles, and Amy Rose are here to bash up Dr Robotnik, Fang (I’m looking at a wiki and his name is Fang The Sniper?...

All the Geoff Fest game reveals and announcements, as they happen Will there be an update onAlan Wake 2? Will we seeMortal Kombat 1in bloodied action for the first time? Will Geoff Keighley wear a suit jacket over a t-shirt with shoes that look just slightly too big? Yes, yes, and probably yes. There’ll be much more besides, fromBaldur’s Gate 3andCyberpunk 2077’sPhantom Liberty expansiontoImmortals of AveumandFortnite’s Chapter 4 Season 3 update, Wilds....

Lies Of P demo hits Steam and consoles today What if fairytale puppet Pinocchio had to kill a load of people and robots? You can discover the answer for yourself today in the demo forLies Of P, launched live during Geoff Keighley’s Level Up Pool Party. The demo offers the Soulslike’s first two chapters, including letting the little would-be boy cut up bosses. “The exciting new demo gives players early access to the first two chapters of Lies Of P, including challenging boss encounters, introductions to key characters, and unique areas to explore,” publishers Neowiz say....

Oh tabletop games, our lovely cousins. Or possibly grandfathers? In a twist of serendipity, theTerrariaboard game was shown at the very same UK Games Expo that Nate himself visited! We couldn’t have planned it better (and indeed, did not) which means this week on The Electronic Wireless Show podcast we talk about not just that board game, but other PC versions of board games, and vice verse, and the games we think should have tabletop versions....

Spiders! Tentacles! Gimli! I’ve said before that I’m quietly stoked for this game, and I remain so. Survival business isn’t normally my thing, because I can’t be arsed with all that managing food and exhaustion stuff. It’s hard enough doing that in real life. But co-op survival I can maybe get behind, especially when it comes in a LotR-y package. If you weren’t aware, Moria used to be a big special home for the Dwarves until they famously “dug too greedily and too deep”, so I’m sure nothing bad can come of you going back in there to do the same....

John Carpenter’s Toxic Commando arrives next year Over the last 18 months or so I have found myself asking, “how often must we play a new co-op zombie shooter?” and the answer has always been “at least once more”. It seems to have been one of those things where a few years back a bunch of devs all noticed that there hadn’t been one for a while, but didn’t realise they weren’t the only ones to have noticed until the games all started coming out....

Chainsword Tyranids with pals The trailer above features Captain Titus, a space fascist the press release describes as a “fan-favorite”. He’s the star of Space Marine 2’s story, but you and two pals will also be able to team up to mince Tyranids in co-op. It’s not clear what if any changes playing in co-op entails, but there’s a suggestion missions will be designed to be replayable, so perhaps they’re dynamic in some interesting way....

Diablo 4 Renown offers some solid rewards, so get it where you can What is Diablo 4 Renown?If you’ve been playingDiablo 4, you’ve probably noticed you’ve been collecting something calledRenownas you travel through different areas, complete quests, and engage in other activities. As you jump into the game, it’s a little unclear why you’re collecting Renown and how you can use it to your advantage. You have to dig deep into the game’s menus to grasp why you’re earning these points and how they can help you throughout your journey....

Discover how to create the best Bleed Barbarian build in Diablo 4 Want to know the best Bleed Barbarian build in Diablo 4?Once one of the top builds inDiablo 4, the Bleed Barbarian took a significant hit with the start ofSeason 1. The Hamstring passive, which previously provided a huge damage boost by Slowing enemies and allowing you to take advantage of extra CC damage modifiers, is now far weaker. Fortunately, you can make up for some of that lost power with the newMalignant Hearts....
