It has a bigger world with more NPCs, involved quests, and even more of Gareth Coker’s score....
Developer People Can Fly has explained why there are so many little cutscenes in its upcoming shooter, Outriders. Speaking to Eurogamer, the studio said that the cinematics - which occur for many interactions, like opening doors and jumping gaps - are there to sync up users in the game’s three-player co-op mode. “I’m the person who’s triggering the travel, so I want to jump to the other side and start a battle on the opposite side,” lead designer Piotr Nowakowski said, explaining what is happening behind the scenes....

As reported by PCGamesN, Twitter user Porterguage recently shared a survey a friend of theirs received that asked about potential prices for skins in the upcoming Overwatch sort-of-sequel. The survey seems to be asking fairly simple questions that are mostly along the lines of ‘would you buy this thing for this amount of money,’ but it doesn’t paint a perfect picture for the sequel. One question asked “How likely would you be to purchase a Mythic Skin at a price of $44....
Earlier this month Blizzard told us that we wouldn’t be seeing any hero changes until Season 2. Well, that isn’t true any more, as a blog post from community manager AndyB on the Overwatch forums informed us that we’d see changes to a number of characters as early as November 15, including D.Va, Genji, Sombra, Kiriko, and probably the best tank in the game right now Zarya. Unfortunately for Genji mains, you’ll just be seeing some nerfs....
Cartoony, two-dimensonal rhythm game Patapon 2 is coming to the PlayStation Store on January 30 for PS4. The game first launched in 2008 for PSP, but is being re-released with snazzy 4K visuals this time around. Patapon 2 puts you in the role of a deity who commands an army of tribal silhouettes through a side-scrolling world by beating drums. “Take part in more than 30 missions including hunting, escort, and boss battles, and explore numerous vivid environments along the way,” says Sony Interactive Entertainment producer Nick Accordino in a post on the official PlayStation blog....
It looks like Path of Exile 2 won’t be launching until next year. That’s according to the head of developer Grinding Gear Chris Wilson, who – when pressed for some clarification about a release date – told PC Gamer that the studio was aiming to launch the title in 2022. Wilson said that the COVID-19 coronavirus pandemic had hit development at the studio, making it harder to not only hire new staff but also slowed down work on Path of Exile 2....

Both titles will also be available through Xbox Game Pass. On October 21, Persona 5 Royal will be released on PC, PS5, Switch, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S....
First, it was Winning Eleven. Then it was Pro Evolution Soccer. Now it’s eFootball. Konami has once again changed the name of its long-running FIFA rival as part of a massive overhaul to how the game will work in the modern gaming climate. This is likely the game that Konami was mysteriously testing back in June. Konami has announced that eFootball is a free-to-play, “all-new football simulation platform” developed in Unreal Engine and targeting an autumn release on PS4, PS5, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, and Steam, before launching on iOS and Android later....
Pikmin 3 Deluxe, a seemingly remastered version of the Wii U game, is coming this year from Nintendo. That’s according to Games Beat’s Jeff Grubb, who let slip that Pikmin is one of Nintendo’s Switch games this year. Grubb added that Nintendo, who did not share plans about its release slate for 2020 on Switch, is also remastering 3D Super Mario games, which lines up with earlier reports. Indeed, yesterday’s surprise Paper Mario: The Origami King reveal was previously said to have been in the works....
We already knew that the new game, set in the Three Kingdoms-era of China’s dynastic history, was set to receive a demo “in the near future”, but thanks to the Tokyo Game Show, we can all enjoy it right now! You need to be quick, though: the test isn’t sticking around for long (likley because you need to be online at all times to enjoy it). Don’t worry if you’ve not got an active Xbox Live or PS+ membership, though; the multiplayer option in this demo does not require a paid membership to the online services of each platform, per the publisher....
Before the end of 2019, Playdate creator, Panic, posted a development update briefing us on the progress made up to that point. The post confirmed that the handled has not been delayed, with Panic kicking off pre-orders sometime soon. The device is currently being manufactured, and Panic tweaked the crank to have a “metal-to-metal” contact on bearing for added durability. By and large, however, the hard part is over, and the hardware is ready....

Here’s how it works.With the launch of PlayStation Stars campaigns will be introduced, which will essentially be limited-time goals and activities players can take part in. Doing so, in addition to collecting trophies from a variety of PlayStation titles, will reward you with points and even shiny digital collectables, which you can place in a new display case on your PlayStation mobile app. While the collectables aspect is good and all, especially for trophy hunter types who I imagine will be showing off their digital collection to strangers on the bus and train....
The Pokemon Company has announced a release date of November 19 for Pokemon Brilliant Diamond and Pokemon Shining Pearl. You can pre-order both games right now, too. The Pokemon Diamond and Pearl remake is set in the Sinnoh region and will feature recreated versions of the Diamond and Pearl story.

Starting tomorrow, December 1, the Season of Heritage kicks off and will last until March 1. It appears Professor Willow has discovered a historical cave site with a giant door that has strange unlocking mechanisms. Somehow this ties into exploring heritages such as the histories of places, Pokemon, and fellow Trainers. According to rumblings online, this could be a hint at what to expect during the season leading up to the January 28 release of Pokemon Legends: Arceus....
As well as the opportunity to try out more games, you will also be able to claim even more in-game loot in various titles. From now through until October 10, Prime members can add EA’s recently launched (and quickly forgotten) title, Rocket Arena, on PC via Origin. Final Strike Games and EA Originals collaborative team-based shooter has failed to get much traction with players since it launched earlier this summer, but maybe a shot in the arm via this Prime Gaming giveaway will be able to attract a few more people into the game’s upsettingly empty lobbies....
