Factorio’s Space Age expansion is out now, adding asteroid factories, Frostpunky iceworlds and rotting jungles Sequel-sized DLC lands alongside beefy base game update Image credit:Wube Software LTD Back in the protean stink of 2013, the beast we call Factorio sprouted in lowercase early access form and began its meticulous, ravenous conquest of the emerging factory sim genre.

Finally, someone investigated how many times you can piss in Heavy Rain Urine for an hour of piss-taking Image credit:Allie Meowy / Quantic Dream My favourite genre of YouTuber is: “person who hyperfixates on one mundane detail of a blockbuster video game and gets strangely poetic about it”. When you offer me a five-hour video essay about an obscure adventure game from 1998, I will hide in the closet. But if you idly wonder where the rivers in Skyrim go , I will follow along dutifully like a baby elephant....

Fortnite dev thinks bans on generated AI art will eventually become “unenforceable” “It’s not going to stand out as a unique thing” Image credit:Epic Games While Epic aren’t, Walsh says, about to use any genAI when creating their own assets such as character models for Fortnite, they don’t really care if players do, as long as the resulting images don’t break any rules around graphic violence or similar. Beyond that, Walsh argues that generated images are becoming so tricky to spot that the idea of banning their usage in a game like Fortnite is impractical....

Fortnite’s new season adds War Buses, rocket-propelled fists, and a lawless desert biome Like sand? This season’s for you Image credit:Epic Games We’ve known for some time that Fallout was coming to Fortnite , we just weren’t entirely sure in what capacity. Well, now we know that this season’s wasteland offerings take the form of a sort of Mad Max meets Fallout meets Borderlands- battle royale affair.

Friendly Marvel Rivals meet-ups at Dr Strange’s place have moved Netease to release a 100 player non-combat Times Square map That’s their rationale, anyway Image credit:Nexon If I wanted to party anywhere in the Marvel universe, I’d be reserving my beanbags and buckets of lentil chips for Dr Strange’s Sanctum Sanctorum. It’s a big posh wizard’s mansion, full of shelves of worrisome books and glass cabinets housing all manner of mystical nonsense that would make for an easy conversation starter, and probably some mildly apocalyptic drunken high jinks....

Grand Theft Auto 6 gets a second trailer but there’s still no date for a PC version Butts Image credit:Rockstar Games / Take-Two Interactive Rockstar have released a second trailer for Grand Theft Auto 6 .

GTA 6 has been delayed, even though Take-Two boss kept telling everyone it wouldn’t be That’s one way to build anticipation Image credit:Rockstar Games Open world crime blockbuster Grand Theft Auto 6 has been delayed until next year, say Rockstar, telling fans that they “need this extra time to deliver at the level of quality you expect and deserve”.

Highguard’s genre soup makes for reasonably entertaining shootouts, if not much else Reduce to medium Image credit:Rock Paper Shotgun/Wildlight Entertainment It feels anticlimactic to say so, and I don’t know why Geoff likes it so much , but Highguard seems decent. Adequate. S’alright. It’s a fine competitive FPS that’s capable of producing spirited, back-and-forth gun battles between spec ops wizards on bearback, which can in turn tickle the itches of anyone burnt out on battle royales or exasperated with extraction shooters....
