  • Monster Hunter World: Iceborne’s Resident Evil Crossover Quest Is Live on PS4

    Take the Green Herb?

    Hot on the heels of Monster Hunter World: Iceborne’s latest update (11.50), the title’s new event quest is now live on PlayStation 4. For those out of the loop, we’d recommend watching the trailer that we’ve embedded above — it’s pretty crazy.

    Yep, it’s time to take down a dodgy Vaal Hazak so that you can get your hands on layered Resident Evil armour sets. Both Claire and Leon skins are up for grabs, but it sounds like this particular Elder Dragon may cause you a few problems. The Capcom blog says you’ll need to gather green and red herbs to combat the creature’s spores. And yes, you can combine them to make a more potent item. Classic.

  • ANTHEM’s New Mass Effect Skins are Probably the Coolest Things in the Game at This Point

  • Mini Review: Antigraviator – This Anti-Gravity Imitator Wipes Out on PS4

    So-so, speed racer.

    WipEout is an excellent target to aim for, but rarely do attempts at recapturing the series’ magic get it right. Unfortunately, that’s the case with Antigraviator, a newly released, high speed, anti-gravity racing game. It features a handful of different customisable ships to pilot through a few different race types, and swaps out weapon pick-ups for traps that remind us of Split/Second: Velocity’s environmental takedowns. Sadly, even this gimmick doesn’t do enough to make the game stand out.

    It plays roughly as you’d expect, and rough is the word. While the ships are responsive to your inputs and it’s ultra-fast, you’re traveling at such speeds that turning becomes almost impossible without hitting the barriers. You can use an air brake and barrel rolls to make tighter turns and adjustments, but even then you’re still going to be grinding along those outer walls; if you have difficulty with WipEout, forget Antigraviator. Even the AI struggles to fly a clean lap. The aforementioned traps are pretty much unavoidable, and difficult to trigger against opponents because you’ll fly by them so fast.

  • Influx of Fake Elden Ring Leaks Have Souls Fans Nervous

    Supposed alpha test isn’t real.

    Remember Elden Ring? The collaborative effort between From Software and Game of Thrones‘ George R.R. Martin was one of E3 2019’s biggest announcements, but we’ve heard absolutely nothing from the project since. The radio silence already has the Souls community a little bit nervous, but the fake leaks currently doing the rounds aren’t helping either.

    The game’s Reddit page is in an awkward place at the moment as it puts up with supposed video clips of an Elden Ring alpha test that isn’t actually real, while rogue members are making fake lore posts that are being disguised as actual information. The lack of concrete facts clearly has a lot of people restless thanks to an uneasy feeling about the place.

  • Square Enix Planning Next-Generation Action Game Experience

    A cut above.

    Looks like Square Enix has received its PlayStation 5 devkits, as the company’s First Development Division is currently busy beavering away on a new intellectual property for console. The studio – which is also behind the upcoming Final Fantasy VII Remake – claims that it’s working with an “international team of creators” to realise a “next-generation action game experience that goes beyond the framework of existing action games”.

    Our guess is that this is still early in development so we probably won’t see it for a while – and that’s assuming that the project gets off the ground at all. It’s hard to speculate about the nature of the title with so little to go on, but we’re always excited by new ideas.
