Many of the titles on offer were games we’d seen before, and big hitters such as Ratchet & Clank and Horizon were notable by their absence. The show started with Crash 4, which offers 4K 60FPS gameplay, 3D Audio, faster loading times and reactive triggers on PlayStation 5: We got another quick look at Returnal, for which we just published a big interview with developer Housemarque discussing the game’s PT influence and £70 price tag....

First up, we got a teaser trailer for the Knights of the Old Republic remake developed by Aspyr. The big news here is it’s a timed PlayStation 5 console exclusive. It’s also coming to PC. No release window was mentioned. Next up, we saw Project Eve, a kind of Bayonetta-looking action game that takes place in the not-too-distant future on a ruined Earth against unknown enemies. We then got our first look at Tiny Tina’s Wonderlands, the fantasy-themed Borderlands spin-off from Gearbox....

Talking about raw graphics specs, there’s little to differentiate Xbox Series X and PlayStation 5 versions of the game. Both target 4K resolution and it certainly looks native, with no obvious signs of the checkerboarding solution that Codemasters has used in the past. Dynamic resolution scaling - as always - cannot be ruled out, but all of our samples returned a full 4K resolution- (a decent upgrade on the 1800p on PS4 Pro last year....

It’s a joyful-looking game about a lady called Jala who’s facing up to a life and decisions she once ran away from. This means dealing with an interfering family and even a string of exes and their broken hearts, which she appears to do by fighting them in exuberantly coloured showdowns. At one point, a presumed ex whips their top off to reveal a chiselled body before throwing a neon-outlined car at Jala....

But it’s not Fall Guys, no. This is Stumble Guys, a suspiciously-similar app that’s also in the top 10 chart on Google Play.

Downloads have spiked over the past few months, with up to 1.5 million players now downloading the game per day. The impending arrival of Fall Guys as a free-to-play game, and on Nintendo Switch and Xbox as well as PlayStation and PC, seems to have coincided with the explosion in Stumble Guys downloads....

Set 17 years after the events of its predecessor, Far Cry 5, Far Cry New Dawn takes an apocalyptic turn for the worst that decimates the landscape we’d come to know so well. Sob. If that makes you feel a little nostalgic, turns out you’re not alone; Far Cry 5 alumni Tracey Lader has scoured Hope County in a bid to recreate photographs she’d taken before the collapse, and it’s your job to find out just where the snaps of these special landmarks were taken....

Back in October, the game was confirmed to be the most profitable in the series and had surpassed 24 million players.

The account had previously been used to stream rallies and other events via Twitch, and was previously banned for breaking the platform’s rules around hateful conduct when it broadcast Trump calling Mexican immigrants “rapists”. Now, Twitch has followed other social media platforms in disabling Trump’s account - for a limited time, at least, and with just two week’s left of his presidential term. “In light of yesterday’s shocking attack on the Capitol, we have disabled President Trump’s Twitch channel,” a Twitch spokesperson confirmed to Kotaku....

The statement to employees comes from company boss Doug Bowser, and was leaked online by Kotaku. In it, Bowser says the company is now “actively investigating” yesterday’s claims.

Sherlock Holmes Chapter One, as we learned when it was announced last year, serves as a prequel to Frogwares’ earlier Sherlock Holmes games, rewinding the clock to Holme’s days as a fresh-faced, 21-year-old in order to chart the events that would lead him to a life of sleuthing. Chapter One marks a deliberate shift away from the fog-shrouded London streets of previous games, with its third-person, open-world investigatory action taking place on a sunny, Mediterranean-inspired island - riddled with class divides and corruption - as Sherlock, with the help of best friend Jonathan, investigates the death of his mother....

Odyssey’s settlements, you might recall, are dustbowl-like havens for NPCs belonging to that system’s dominant faction and are found on the surface of certain planets and moons. Players can explore settlements at any time in order to engage with (or even attack) their inhabitants, and may also be required to infiltrate them to complete certain on-foot mission objectives. In a new post on the Elite Dangerous forums, Frontier has now shed a little more light on settlements, responding to questions posed by the community....

Get the Core i5 12400F + Gigabyte B660M for £260 w/ code SPEND15, was £306 We dubbed the 12400F one of the best value gaming CPUs when it launched earlier this year. In our 12400F review, we noted it offered around 85 percent percent of the performance of the top-end Core i9 12900K in many games at 1080p, with even smaller margins at 1440p and 4K. If you’re using a 1440p or 4K monitor, then going for the 12400F instead of CPUs like the 12600K, 12700K or 12900K that cost hundreds of pounds more is an absolute no-brainer....
