Halo Infinite’s multiplayer radar only showed players when they were sprinting or shooting. This made it similar to the “threat tracker” in Halo 5, but different from the radar in older Halo games which would show all movement except from crouch-walking. The change was one of the most contentious in Halo Infinite’s test. “While some appreciated the new approach, we found that most players missed the old properties in these social matches,” write 343 Industries in the massive blog post....

Upon loading Dead Space for a few times after reinstalling, a few things become immediately apparent: Thankfully, technical problems are easy to address, and some of the solutions are shared. The main thing is: 1. Install the unofficial Dead Space Mouse Fix Hit the PCGamingWiki to download this tiny file and extract it into your Dead Space folder. That’s all. Then it’s working.

They posted the list on Twitter, along with the hint that they’ll be revealing four new games coming to the service at The Game Awards tomorrow night. Their post contains a load of games we already knew would come to Game Pass at launch, like Starfield and Total War: Warhammer 3, but hey, it’s nice to have a full list. Here’s what’s coming: Total War: Warhammer 3 - February 17th, 2022 Creative Assembly’s next strategy wargame brings tower defence, boss fights, giant magical bears and more....

When it comes to big names, I reckon you won’t be surprised to find Mafia: Definitive Edition, Crusader Kings 3, and Marvel’s Avengers on the list, even though Avengers has had a rocky takeoff, leading to the delay of their first post-launch hero. Also unsurprising are some long-awaited sequels to old favorites. Serious Sam 4 claimed a spot, another win for Croteam, who were just acquired (er, married?) by Sammy 4’s publishers Devolver Digital....

We’re at the point where we need a good shorthand for games built around a diagetic interface. HighFleet’s puts you in the sky-shoes of an admiral poring over an electronic map display ringed by analogue radar-tuning dials, chunky buttons, a dangling telephone receiver like your gran’s, and a big level to pull when it’s time to land. But there’s a weird divide going on. A degree of frustration is, if not innate, definitely a common design feature of the interface-’em-up....

IO explain that the delay to Freelancer stems from its expansive nature. Calling the decision “luxurious”, they say that the success of Hitman 3 means IO can afford to give their team more time to “tighten the bolts”. Normally that wouldn’t sound so ominous but this is Hitman we’re talking about. Playtests of Freelancer have already included members of the Hitman community, and IO are taking into account their feedback to improve elements of the mode before its launch....

Developed by Sumo Digital, the studio behind Crackdown 3 and Team Sonic Racing, Hood: Outlaws & Legends is a PvPvE game where two teams of four players will face off to find and steal that aforementioned treasure. You’ll have to battle your multiplayer foes as well as AI guards, and from the looks of things use some cheeky stealth and cool weapons to do so. “Four distinct characters with thousands of variations await, providing endless combinations and playstyles to adopt while outsmarting foes and executing the perfect heist with your friends,” says the press release....

When creative director Thomas Mahler tells me he thinks it’ll be the reference for 2D platformer visuals for years to come, I think he’s could be right. It’s down to countless improvements, tiny and large, by Moon’s artists and its programmers across every aspect of the game, from fronds of foliage to hit reactions. And they started by transforming Ori’s nature. Namely, they tore out the way Ori is rendered....

Running from now until March 31st, the Humble Capcom Mega Bundle has $305 worth of games up for grabs for a fraction of their usual price. As per usual, the bundle is split into multiple tiers, allowing you to pay as much or as little as you like to get the games you want.

Matt and I had a bit of a play around with it. Join me then, as I recount The Tragical Death of Captain Farts. After some wrangling we managed to connect our PCs and get started. Each player controls a little placeholder flatman, walking about the ship’s corridors and interacting with control panels and buttons. It’s a great little ship already, all cluttered and irregular, and although you start with a wrench I immediately established that no, I can’t bash Matt over the head and take over as Captain....

After our first play session, it became clear that the most important aspect of survival in Norse purgatory wasn’t beard management, or axe-throwing, or even longboat races. It was… bees. Everything hinged on their happiness. Kiryun Kazumor, Sigmund, Ragnar the Red, and Dunder Mifflin. These were the names of our clueless, but enthusiastic viking selves. And we marvelled at the most basic things. We got excited at the ability to pick up a rock....

But then, after I fell in love with Age Of Empires 2: Definitive Edition in November, I started watching casts of high level players fighting 1v1 duels as a way to relax before going to sleep, and ended up getting fascinated by the absolute precision with which they handled the game. If you’re not familiar, AoE2 is a fast-ish strategy game where you become a medieval king and beast your foes with the metaphorical willy that is your army....

This magic-slinging FPS is being headed up by Robbins, who said in a statement, “I founded Ascendant Studios to make original and epic games, and here we are, four years later, about to finish our first one. “What started as a crazy, exciting idea has grown into a crazy, exciting triple-A game. I chose EA as our publishing partner because we know they’ll help Immortals of Aveum reach the biggest audience possible....

Higher per-core speeds are usually good news for games, and it’s not just at the top end where the Core i9-12900KS makes improvements: its eight bigger, badder Performance core (P-cores) get a 200MHz base clock increase up to 3.4GHz, and its eight smaller Efficiency cores (E-cores) rise 100MHz up to 2.5GHz. The final results very often back up Intel’s claims of this being the “world’s fastest desktop processor,” though it’s also kind of the CPU version of the RTX 3090 Ti graphics card: technically better, but perhaps not by a big enough margin to justify over more affordable alternatives....
