Crysis Remastered is out and yes, you can probably run it. You will need to buy it though, because that’s how these things work. The remaster includes visual updates like 8k resolution textures and ray-traced reflections for those of you willing to put your systems through their paces. Not to worry, ye old Crysis joke

PlayStation 5 will offer backwards compatibility but unlike the Xbox Series X, their library will not span across generations.  It was previously touched on that the PlayStation 5 would only go as far back as PS4, a point that Sony Interactive Entertainment CEO Jim Ryan drove home during a recent interview.  Speaking with Famitsu, Ryan

Everything we’ve seen so far of Cyberpunk 2077 has been nothing short of stunning but those breathtaking graphics have had many PC players worried that their rigs might not be able to take the heat. Luckily, the entry point for PC gamers is much lower than originally anticipated as CD Projekt RED confirms the Cyberpunk 2077

The tensions between the Trump administration and Chinese conglomerate Tencent continue to intensify with the U.S. Committee on Foreign Investment’s recent prioritization of national security.

Hot off the surprise addition of Super Mario All-Stars to the Super NES library of Nintendo Switch Online earlier this month, Nintendo has announced the full lineup of September additions to its subscription catalog. In addition to the already-released Super Mario All-Stars, the Super NES library will receive three new additions, while the NES library

Rocket League is almost, finally free. A little over 5 years after its debut, videogames’ favourite vehicular footy match is dropping its pricetag and moving to a new home on the Epic Games Store next Wednesday. It’s leaving Steam to do so, sadly – but if you pick up the keys within a month of

Fall Guys is the battle royale game we didn’t think we needed, but it’s the one that captured our hearts anyway. With its Mario Party-style minigames and adorable (yet also slightly terrifying) jelly beans, it’s easy to see why this online title took the crown in the gaming community. Unfortunately, like with many online games,

There are a huge number of rulers to choose from in Crusader Kings 3, and looking at the map it can get a bit overwhelming. Of course, choose the character who most resonates with you – if you want to shag your way to a horny gang of Estonian giants, no one’s stopping you. We’ve

The battle between Nintendo and Sega in the 90’s is the stuff of legend. While Sega’s aggressive marketing campaigns are well documented, as are many other curious facts of the era, there’s a deep well to dive into regarding the most classic of the console wars. The new documentary, Console Wars, is the first CBS

Screenshot Saturday Sundays! There’s a chill wind in the air this Sunday, readers. Listen real close, and you may even hear it whisper “cor, blimey, there’s some ruddy good screenshots popping round Twitter lately”. This week: Umbrellas caught in the wind, perplexing puzzling, a bloody graphic novel holiday and lovely broken skies. Now, I’ve never

Once again, the stress fires of 2020 have knocked another game’s release plans out the window. This time it’s Kena: Bridge Of Spirits, a whimsical adventure debut from the folks at Ember Labs. The developers announced this week that their stylish first steps into the world of videogames will now release in the early months

If, like us, you’re excited to get your hands on Kena: Bridge of Spirits, we have a little bittersweet news: According to a statement from Ember Lab, the game is slipping from a holiday 2020 release to the first quarter of 2021. The studio says the decision was made for the sake of the game’s

Last week Flare Path’s tour of London Underground’s brown squiggle reached Queen’s Park, the Bakerloo’s equivalent of the Doors of Durin. Today our middle-aged TSW2 tube train plunges into a tenebrous netherworld full of mysterious parietal art, dangerous chasms, and (fingers crossed) tiny brawling rodents. Our first break from the inky blackness comes at Kilburn

After what felt like eons of time (and with the help of a major leak), Microsoft has finally unveiled the retail prices of the Xbox Series X and its slim, sleek counterpart, the Series S. While the Series X is listed at $499, the Series S has a more manageable price of $299. The specs between the

Three years after announcing Skull & Bones with an initial squall of previews, Ubisoft still don’t have much to say about the pirate ship game which was once due in 2018. Don’t expect to see it during tonight’s Ubisoft Forward announce-o-rama stream or even this year, Ubi have now said, but they do assure that

If you’ve been longing for a return to the strange and often amusing planets of The Outer Worlds, today brings the launch of Peril on Gorgon, a new expansion to the game that lets players visit an entirely new asteroid. We took a look at the new experience in a recent New Gameplay Today. But

Stepping into the shoes of a power hungry dictator might feel a little close to home when your own real-life government is boasting about breaking international law at the moment, but at least Humble’s new Totally Tropico bundle might provide a few laughs along the way. Running from now until September 29th, Tropicos 1-5 are

Thrilling macro, tedious micro Have You Played? is an endless stream of game retrospectives. One a day, every day, perhaps for all time. With Phoenix Point, I always find myself in the curious position of recommending a game for the very thing that most other people dislike about it: the stuff between the battles. Phoenix

Nightboat Studios, the team behind the re-release of System Shock: Classic and System Shock 2, dropped a Blade Runner: Enhanced Edition trailer. The video shows a side-by-side comparison of the point-and-click adventure game from the 90s and its eventual re-release version. With crisper character models and environments, players will be able to relive the game’s extensive detective story

Screenshot Saturday Sundays! Time for a break from whatever chores you’re filling this cold Sunday with, pop the kettle on, and peruse some lovely in-development screenshots, gifs and vids with your pals here at RPS. This week: wobbly snakes, old-fashioned trains, tough weather for wolves and a bad hair day. As someone with extremely frizzy

Sometimes, you just wanna hunt monsters. No friends, and certainly no foes – just you and a swamp full of creatures from the abyss. Thank goodness, then, that Hunt: Showdown has just added a bunch more of its new singleplayer Trials – letting you test your running, shooting and survival skills without risk of being

At this rate, Ubisoft won’t get to reveal anything about their open-world Greek mythology game themselves. The new name Immortals Fenyx Rising (formerly known as Gods & Monsters) was revealed by the Taiwan ratings committee earlier this week. Now Microsoft have gone and dished what might be the release date in a prematurely-posted store page. If this new

Players looking to stretch the old brain muscle may wish to investigate the recent release of Evergate, a new puzzle/platformer that has now arrived on Steam. With its big-eyed protagonist and hand-drawn aesthetic, it seems clear that the developers at Stone Lantern Games were inspired by the Ori series. But a closer look at the gameplay reveals

The Witcher 3 is among the most ambitious and acclaimed games of the current generation – but that doesn’t mean it can’t be improved. Today developer CD Projekt Red announced that it is working on bringing its massive RPG to next-gen consoles. According to the announcement, this new version of The Witcher 3 is being built to take

During the latest Division 2 State of the Game stream, “The Summit” endgame content was announced. Division agents must climb a 100-floor skyscraper, clearing each floor of alternating enemies. Boss battles take place every 10 floors and serve as checkpoints so that players don’t have to start over at the 1st floor. The skyscraper itself changes every time

Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 1 + 2 doesn’t need to explain why its schoolyards, warehouses and backlots are devoid of human life. It’s a skateboarding game, who cares? Nevertheless, a little bit of worldbuilding has landed Tony’s kickflip adventure squarely in reality, revealing that at least one of the game’s school stages has been closed

This year marks the 35th anniversary of the Super Mario Bros. series, and while Nintendo has remained fairly quiet to this point, it pulled out all the stops this morning, announcing Super Mario 3D All-Stars, Super Mario 3D World + Bowser’s Fury, Super Mario Bros. 35, and more to help usher in its flagship franchise’s
