Last month, I wrote about the first leg of Lost Odyssey and how much I was enjoying it. The second disc and first half of the third have been even better. The worldbuilding is mysterious and intriguing, with each new section making me want to know more about the immortals I’m playing as. The narrative gets richer with…

Virtuous, the team handling the Switch port of The Outer Worlds, has studios located in Chengdu and Xi’an, China, and those offices have been closed during the Coronavirus outbreak and a mandatory quarantine. Publisher Private Division took to Twitter to say that “the team at Virtuous is ok,” but they’ll need additional time to finish the Switch port, which will now be releasing as a physical version on a cartridge (not just a download code in the box).
The Outer Worlds was slated to release on Switch on March 6. Private Division added that it is now “working with the team to determine an updated development timeline, and will share more regarding a new launch date shortly.”
Virtuous employs over 1,600 people in 11 offices around the world, and recently supported Respawn Entertainment in development of Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order, and also assisted with Frontier Developments’ Planet Zoo.

After making its way through Steam Greenlight and Kickstarter in early 2017, Laughing Machines’ Undungeon is gearing up for a 2020 release. Laughing Machines and publisher tinyBuild today released a gameplay trailer that shows off combat and some of the RPG systems for this stunning hand-drawn pixel-art game.
In Undungeon, players suit up as one of seven Heralds, each coming from a different world destroyed by something called the Shift. The Heralds explore procedurally generated maps that are based on multiversal ideas, meaning you may visit the same place but it could be a little different the next time through. Their goal is to heal a world that has suffered a cataclysm.
Undungeon is described by Laughing Machines as an action game with roguelike and old-school RPG styles. The team has drawn inspiration from games like FTL: Faster Than Light, Hyper Light Drifter, and Nuclear Throne for this quest-driven adventure. Right now, Laughing Machines is targeting PC as the sole platform with a release in the fourth quarter of 2020.

“Disney Japan specifically”.
One of the most requested DLC fighters for Super Smash Bros. Ultimate is Sora from the Kingdom Hearts series. Compared to a lot of other suggestions, this character actually seems like quite an appropriate fit for Nintendo’s all-star brawler.
What are the chances then of Sora being added to the game, and why hasn’t Nintendo already made it happen? In the latest episode of the Kinda Funny Gamescast, former senior editor at Game Informer and industry insider Imran Khan revealed how Nintendo had “absolutely approached Disney” about the possible inclusion of Sora in Smash. When asked if Disney was the problem, Khan explained how it was “Disney Japan specifically” who had supposedly prevented any deal from going ahead.

With so many top handsets from the likes of Apple, Samsung, Google, Huawei and more, it can be easy to forget about another big name – OnePlus. But with a recent discount from John Lewis, that name is back in our minds.
Giving the imposing OnePlus 7 Pro a £100 price slash, John Lewis just shot past the competition to drop the cheapest deal around on this handset. That means you’ll now be paying just £599 to get it SIM-free.
Considering we saw this device drop to its lowest of £575 over the Black Friday period, £599 is looking about as good as it’s going to get for a while. And then to top it off, John Lewis will even throw in a two-year guarantee on the contract.
Sporting a novel pop-up camera, the OnePlus 7 Pro possibly has the closest screen to ‘infinity’ currently on the market. Its 6.67 AMOLED screen, offering a 90Hz screen refresh rate, is uninterrupted by teardrop cameras or hole punches like its competitors.
Inside the phone, you’ll find a immensely powerful Snapdragon 855 processor and a 4000mAh battery, easily getting you over a days battery life. All of that paired with the powerful triple camera lens set-up and fast charging abilities makes this a top choice for any big phone fans.

The tuxes have been carefully selected, the haute-couture ball gowns have been sent and the red carpet has been prepared – and we’ll tell you how to get an Oscars live stream from anywhere in the world.
Whether you’re tuning in to the Academy Awards to watch the best dressed celebs, or you’ve got your fingers crossed that Joaquin Phoenix wins Best Actor or that – the Oscars is truly a must-see spectacular occasion.
Whether you’re tuning in to the Academy Awards to watch the best dressed celebs, or you’ve got your fingers crossed that Joaquin Phoenix wins best actor or Renée Zellweger picks up her second ever award – the Oscars is always a must-see spectacular occasion.
Following last year’s fashion, the Oscars 2020 will be going host-less and will most likely lean on its presenters, especially after the success that it was last year.
Not to mention, it has been confirmed that the one and only Billie Eilish will be performing. She joins a wide range of artists that have previously performed at the awards ceremony, including Lady Gaga, Bradley Cooper, Queen and Adam Lambert last year.
The Oscar nominations in the best director category is especially tough, with a selection of some very talented individuals. Amongst them are Martin Scorsese (The Irishman), Quentin Tarantino (Once Upon a Time in Hollywood) and Todd Phillips (Joker).
We may also see Scarlett Johansson bag two trophies – one for best supporting actress and the other for best actress.
Want to catch all the action as it happens? Follow our guide to make sure you can get a 2020 Oscars live stream from absolutely anywhere in the world.
Keep scrolling if you want to know your viewing options in the US, Canada, UK and Australia (pssssst, it’s absolutely FREE Down Under!).
But it’s worth noting that if you’re away from your country this Oscar night and were hoping to watch your home coverage on your laptop or mobile, it will inevitable be geo-blocked. Annoying but this easily fixed, with a VPN you can change your IP address to a location back in your own hometown or country that will then allow you to stream the event as if you were sat back at home.
The big prize of the night is the Best Picture award – we still don’t know why they don’t just call it ‘best film’. There are eight nominees competing for it this year…
Black Panther
BlacKkKlansman
Bohemian Rhapsody
The Favourite
Green Book
A Star Is Born
Vice
