Push Square12:45"Gears isn't necessarily a console-seller anymore". Gears of War: E-Day launches into advanced access imminently, and I’m sure our colleagues at Pure Xbox will be bringing you a review the moment the embargo lifts. You won’t find one on Push Square , of course, as the PS5 version was infamously cancelled earlier this year. Read the full article on pushsquare.com

Pure Xbox12:30"We will do whatever it takes...". There have always been rumours and bits of speculation over the years about whether Microsoft might be interested in selling off the Xbox brand — particularly during challenging times for the company's gaming division — and we've heard quite a lot of chatter about this in recent times since Asha Sharma took the role as head of Xbox. Sharma was actually asked about this directly in a new interview with The New York Times, and her response is certainly comforting to say the least, with the Xbox CEO stating that the brand isn't for sale whatsoever.

Fantasy RPG Queen's Domain is frequently likened by certain other websites to From Software's King's Field games and The Elder Scrolls 3: Morrowind , so I'm going to put my nose in the air and forcibly compare it to something else. Looks like, errrrrr, a first-person Ico with Mayan architectural influences, maybe a touch of Final Fantasy's Ivalice period here and there. It's set on an island with shorelines you could compare to Halo's Silent Cartographer level, if you rubbed your eyes with breakfast cereal. Have I thoroughly confused you? Don't worry, here is a trailer. Read more

I reviewed the remaster — which is available through a free update for existing owners — right here on Push Square earlier this week.

Deadpool’s a weird character. Like fellow mutant Wolverine, Wade Wilson is a trained killer whose primary superpower is a healing factor that lets him recover and reform from any wound, even if bisected or decapitated. Unlike Wolverine, Wade knows he’s in a fictional medium, be it a comic book, movie, or game, and physically can’t stop quipping about that fact and referencing things in and out of his world. It’s up to the writer whether this is sheer coincidence (as in, he’s genuinely just psychotic and his insane ramblings happen to be the truth), or a true meta awareness granting him power over narrative itself. This is a trait that Marvel T&omacrkon: Fighting Souls handles smartly, which in a way is surprising, because it usually makes him quite annoying. In most appearances, Deadpool references everything — nothing is safe. Marvel editorial, art of all mediums new and old, assorted real-life celebrity drama, specific stories from comics’ past (not just Marvel, either), and more I can’t think of right now; all of it ripe fruit for Wade to riff on in one of the many jokes-per-minute spouting from his scarred mouth. This became true of the vast majority of his comic runs, once the meta awareness, fourth-wall-breaking became a central part of his character identity, and defined non-comic appearances like High Moon’s 2013 Deadpool game and Ryan Reynolds' (admittedly, kinda perfect) portrayal from the 2016 film onwards. No, X-Men Origins: Wolverine does not count. Read more

My very soul has been cleft into pieces on this day. January 3rd, 902 AD. First, my Christian faith fractured in twain. I stand in Rome, head of the Roman Rite and now the leader of the Catholic world. My neighbours to the east have chosen to walk a different path, transforming their Greek Rite into a new Orthodoxy followed by the Byzantine Empire. It’s a brave new world in Crusader Kings 3 ’s By God Alone expansion , made even tougher to face by the three additional wounds I gained right at the moment of the split. All three of my wives have divorced me, serving their papers within seconds of each other. Taken alongside the betrothal that my fourth wife-to-be broke not too long before the schism, it really stings. Sure, I’m the Pope and thus should be celibately devoting myself to God, but a breakup’s a breakup. It’s not all consecrated bread and wine when you’ve managed to end up on Wikipedia’s list of sexually active popes thanks to an utterly hilarious bug. Read more

When I first learned about Core Values, the upcoming expansion to factory automation game Satisfactory , I didn't grasp the scale of the challenge developer Coffee Stain had set themselves. 'So, the game is set underground now?' I thought. 'I'll just stick up some more lights and make the same factory I always have.' Yet, as I covered yesterday, that won't be possible. For a start because you'll need to use new logistics tools to connect your factory buildings – conveyor belts aren't gone, but they're nowhere near as useful as they once were . Another major difference, though, is a design problem for the developers: how to make a perfectly-sized cave. Read more

The Vibe does not look like any one thing, the only rule is that it must elicit a response along the lines of, "now what's this, then?"

Time Extension09:00Daytonaaaaa! Let's Go Away! An interesting technical mash-up has surfaced on the Sega homebrew scene: a 32X port of smash arcade racer Daytona USA (1994) that is basing its build on the engine of 32X release Virtua Racing Deluxe (1994) A short test clip was uploaded to YouTube earlier today by "CamTrack", while a dump for the build is featured on the GitHub of modder "MatiasZanolli" . The clip shows the Daytona USA "Hornet", instantly recognisable even without its "Gallop" branding, tearing down an IndyCar circuit resembling the famous Three Seven Speedway from the original Daytona USA arcade.

The recent screening of Nintendo's The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time remake has proven a thing of existential horror for many grey-haired Zeldenthusiasts. Is that you, Link? What have they done to you, boy? Why do you look like a possessed doll ? Where have all your sharp edges gone? Eek, I can see individual divots on Epona's neck. Rest easy, traveller. Let us play the titular Ocarina and warp back to the good old days. No, not the heyday of the N64 – that three-pronged controller was an instrument of the Devil. I mean the real good old days, when Link looked like a cockroach and hills hadn't been invented yet. But oh, what's this? We have played the Ocarina wrong and messed up the spacetime continuum. We have somehow generated a version of NES-era Zelda that overlaps with another long-lost game, Namco's 60-floor maze RPG The Tower of Druaga - itself a huge influence on the original Zelda games. It appears that Prince Ganondorf has been abducted by the evil queen Zeldaga. That harridan! Time to go questing for some keys. Read more

Time Extension08:00And fresh artwork from 16 contemporary artists. Sonic the Hedgehog may have celebrated its 35th anniversary earlier this year, but it appears the festivities aren't over yet. That's because next month, a new 35th anniversary exhibition is kicking off at Ikebukuro PARCO in Tokyo, Japan, to take a look back at the series' history through a variety of exhibits (h/t: TokyoGameLife ). The event, which is called SONIC the Exhibition -ACROSS GENERATIONS- , is being organised as a collaboration between Ikebukuro PARCO, R11R Inc., kanon Inc., and the Sega Corporation, and is said to feature gaming titles across the series, in addition to rare development materials, a special exhibition containing artwork from 16 contemporary artists with "a deep affection" for the iconic blue hedgehog (and his cast of friends), and exclusive merch.

LEGO Skylines is the new plastic city- builder from Cities: Skylines 2 and Surviving the Aftermath developers Iceflake Studios, published by Paradox Interactive. I've played an hour or so of a preview build, just long enough to devise a circular highway of coffee shops, glass-fronted houses, unaccountably cheerful farms, and playgrounds poking up haphazardly like fungus. Kind of like the M25, but more rustickal. There's a park in the middle that can't work out which century it's in, with an ornamental fountain every ten paces to baffle the casual stroller. Read more

I've been wanting to share my feelings on this game ever since I stopped playing it, but I was so let down by the experience that I simply chose to distract myself with other things, no longer wanting to keep the franchise in my mind after I'd spent months in anticipation of the game.

It marked a point in time where Capcom decided to lean into a more deliberate, in-your-face horror with cinematic... Read more

Looking at the games I beat so far this year. I do think so. I beat 4 meaty JRPGs. I throughly mastered two roguelikes (Hades II and Absolum). Those things take time. And managed to beat a big AAA release and almost done with another. I'm not at the peak of gaming consumption powers anymore as an elder millennial. I have to fit other things in too for both pleasure and obligation, but pretty happy so far. Cozy season is starting so I expect to beat some more.

Not long ago, we revealed that the company behind the game's GenAI-infused trailer (and its core development) was Antstream , and now System 3 boss Mark Cale has told GameSpot that the studio misled him. Cale explains that System 3's initial assertion that no GenAI assets were present in the game was based on assurances from Antstream. "That was the statement that we were given at the time by Antstream,” says Cale. "We weren’t involved in the process. They supplied all of the artwork and they supplied, in the process, the illustration. All of that was given to us." Read the full article on timeextension.com

Today, September 29th, The Witcher 3 is back on the path in Remastered form . With that remaster bringing a host of tweaks to the decade-old RPG, there was always going to be an adjustment period for the RPG's established mods. One that won't work right out of the gate is the WAR Project - an ongoing effort to restore a plague-themed questline CD Projekt Red abandoned prior to release. However, the modders behind it have made clear this is just a temporary bump in the trail and promised "something extra" for the update that brings their demo up to remastered spec. Read more
