It's safe to say that most upcoming, big-budget games are going to have both a current-generation version and a next-gen version. Thus far, we've had a number of publishers tell us what their plans are for handling next-generation upgrades, with some saying that they'll offer free upgrades within the same console family and others saying that there will be some kind of additional charge.
PlayStation Plus has already had a pretty big summer, and it looks like the big-name free games are going to continue into September. Today, Sony revealed the two games that are going free on PlayStation Plus next month, and fighting game fans as well as battle royale fans will both want to take note.
Hello Games has spent the last four years building out No Man's Sky, but it looks like the company's next game, The Last Campfire, is ready for prime time. First revealed back in 2018, Hello Games pitched The Last Campfire as a small side project that was created as the larger Hello Games team continued post-launch work on No Man's Sky. We'll soon get the chance to see what The Last Campfire entails, as it's launching tomorrow.
Fall Guys has received a new update, and while it isn't adding any new content, it is delivering a number of changes that the community has been requesting since the game released. Included in this update are changes to the way team games work, fixes to several exploits that players were taking advantage of and, perhaps most importantly, fixes for various crashes.
Crysis Remastered has had something of a tumultuous existence thus far. The game was first confirmed back in April, though just a few days before Crytek was set to officially unveil it, a leaked trailer left many gamers feeling unimpressed. Seeing that reaction, Crytek decided to delay Crysis Remastered for all platforms but the Switch, meaning that the Xbox One, PlayStation 4, and PC versions of the game were all pushed back to an undisclosed date.
The original HITMAN game will be free to keep for all users of the Epic Games Store as of August 27th. That's just so long as you claim the game (with the tap of a button) before September 3, 2020. Hitman 3 will also be released very soon... as an Epic Games Store exclusive. That means it won't be available to purchase or download anywhere else*, for the foreseeable future.
Untitled Goose Game certainly turned into one of the more notable indie games of 2019. The game, which puts you in the role of a mischievous goose that terrorizes a small town by harassing people just trying to go about their day, generated a lot of buzz from the moment it was announced, and today, almost a year after it released, it featured in Nintendo's Indie World Showcase.
Ghost of Tsushima has turned out to be a solid, single-player action game, but later this year, Sucker Punch is going to deliver an update that shakes things up significantly. This update will deliver a new game mode called Ghost of Tsushima: Legends that focuses on cooperative play and even raiding. It's safe to say that most of us did not see this announcement coming.
For a few years now, Electronic Arts has offered a subscription service that serves up perks like early trials of upcoming games and access to a collection of the company's older titles. EA's subscription services are available across a number of platforms, whether its Xbox One, PC, or PlayStation 4 (eventually, we'll be able to count Steam among the supported platforms as well). Today, EA announced that its subscription services will be getting a rebrand next week.
At this point, it's clear that Fall Guys is a very popular game. Not only is it inescapable on streaming sites like Twitch, but for the game's first week following release, the servers often buckled under the sheer number of players trying to find a match. Those who contended with spotty servers throughout the first week are getting some goodies today, which are offered on the house as an apology from the developers.
Throughout the current generation, Sony has released a number of DualShock 4 controller variants. In all, the company says that it has released 25 different colors around the world, with the selection seemingly rotating on a fairly consistent basis. If there's a color variation you like but never manged to get your hands on the first time around, then you might like to know that Sony is bringing back certain colors this month.
Fall Guys launched a little over a week ago, and already the game is getting its very first update. Most importantly, this update adds a new minigame to the rotation, and it's one that beta players will already be familiar with. Aside from the new stage, this update seems like a relatively small one, which makes sense considering the game has only been out for a week at this point.
