The best Star Wars Outlaws outfits, armor and loadout

So, if you want the top chest, belt, and pants in the game, here’s my pick for the best armor and outfits in Star Wars Outlaws, and how you can get it yourself.What are the best clothes in Star Wars Outlaws?

Dying Light: The Beast wants to be “the ultimate zombie adventure”, and it only exists because Techland’s DLC plans leaked

My hands-off Gamescom preview of Dying Light: The Beast has me grinning from start to finish. As Kyle Crane – the series’ first hero, now freed following thirteen years of torment – makes his way through the overgrown expanse of Castor Valley in the thrilling dead of night, it feels like coming home. But The Beast is not the game anyone expected developer Techland to make next – least of all, I learn when I sit down with its key production leads, Techland itself. “It started as a DLC for Dying Light 2, but we experienced a leak of the story last year,” explains franchise director Tymon Smektała. As a result, it was a “no-brainer” for Techland to make the upcoming game totally free for all Dying Light 2 deluxe edition owners. “The community was very eager to learn everything about Dying Light, and they managed to dig out some very juicy and very crucial details about the narrative. So this made us think, ‘Okay, what can we do with this?'” Following a wee…

The best JRPGs to play in 2024

The best JRPGs offer tons of different adventures, all with their own cast of memorable characters. They’re also home to some of the best open world games we’ve seen over the years, complete with fantastical backdrops, engrossing quests, and imaginative plotlines. However, while a JRPG used to be qualified as an RPG made by Japanese developers, how you actually define a JRPG is more complex: these days, the term can sometimes more generally apply to RPGs that are distinctly Japanese in their design and focus more on storytelling than pure action. A lot of comparisons can also be drawn to the best RPGs around, with some being heavily inspired by some of the most iconic JRPGs that came before. While many will have different notions about what constitutes a JRPG, this list below combines our pick of the most iconic classics with modern masterpieces. Read on below as we take you through our selection of the best JRPGs you can play right now across all platforms. 10. Xen…

Amid Astro Bot hype, Psychonauts studio shoots down speculation that it’s reviving dormant Xbox platformers like Crash or Banjo: “We want to make our games”

Astro Bot might be all the rage right now, but Psychonauts 2 developer Double Fine has reiterated that it still isn’t working on something related to corporate owner Xbox’s now-massive slate of dormant platformers.”We love platformers here at Double Fine, so imagine our smiles playing Astro Bot and seeing what ~seems~ to be a familiar face,” the studio tweeted yesterday. “In 2013, we collaborated with Japan Studios on the Playroom’s ‘My Alien Buddy’ and it seems like a version of our green friend is still on a rampage.”For those not neck-deep in Astro Bot lore, the little guy was first assembled for free PS4 minigame marathon The Playroom, made by the now shut-down Japan Studios, and one of the DLC packs featuring a bobbly green alien came courtesy of Double Fine. A very similar-looking, UFO-riding green alien serves as the main antagonist of this year’s Astro Bot.We love platformers here at Double Fine, so imagine our smiles playing Astrobot and seeing what ~seems~ to be a familiar fa…

How to use the Star Wars Outlaws Fast Talk skill

The Star Wars Outlaws Fast Talk ability is a little unclear. Useful but poorly named it’s actually used to to buy yourself extra time before enemies star shooting if they catch you sneaking. You don’t actually talk you way out of anything. It’s easy to be confused in a game where talk seems important. Options like the choice to Bluff or Bribe the Bouncer in Star wars Outlaws, or buy a VIP Suite Invite to Gorak’s suite suggest conversation is important. But Fast Talk is just about buying yourself a moment’s extra time before enemies turn aggressive – something that might not be clear when you first trigger it and don’t know what’s happening.If you want some help on mastering the Fast Talk ability in Star Wars Outlaws and understanding it better, here’s what you need to know.How to use Fast Talk in Star Wars Outlaws Fast Talk in Star Wars Outlaws is earned by completing challenges from Bram, one of the Star Wars Outlaws Experts, and works like this:If an enemy sees Kay Vess in a re…

While we know that Mass Effect 5 is definitely in development at BioWare, we only really get any vague updates or info on the game around N7 day – aka November 7. With Dragon Age: The Veilguard being the next game to come out from BioWare, we imagine it will be quite the wait for the next Mass Effect game. We know that the team is thinking hard about canon debates, and also added that “development has been proceeding very well” in a recent blog post. However, amid nearly 700 layoffs at EA, BioWare is reportedly focused on releasing Dragon Age 4 while Mass Effect 5 remains in pre-production.We have had some concept art, and a pair of teaser trailers, but realistically details on what the new Mass Effect game will be are pretty light. What we do know is that the next Mass Effect game looks set to be a follow…

Director of critically panned game adaptions clowns on Borderlands movie’s $90m flop, only to cancel his next game adaption after crowdfunding just $850

Last month, controversial director Uwe Boll – best known for a string of not-great-at-best video game movie adaptations – took aim at the Borderlands movie’s commercial failure. Unfortunately for Boll, what went around has come around, as he’s been forced to cancel the crowdfund for his new movie after drawing in just $850 of his $2.5 million goal.After the Borderlands movie made just $8.8 million against its $110+ million budget during its opening weekend, Boll – who has secured multiple Golden Raspberry nominations for his video game adaptations – decided to gloat. “My movies were rated R and made more money than this,” he said on social media (via PC Gamer), noting Borderlands’ drop from an R rating to PG-13.Putting aside the fact that Borderlands scraped to nearly $30 million by the time it left theaters and that none of Boll’s movies have had that kind of turnaround, it seems that the Postal director might have been a bit premature in his mockery. Last week, he kicked off a crowdf…

“Thank you team, we made something awesome” – Concord developers mourn the failed FPS that PlayStation pulled the plug on after just 14 days

And just like that, Concord servers are now offline. PlayStation pulled the plug on its struggling hero shooter just two weeks after it stepped out into the brutal live service arena, while Firewalk Studios works out “the best path ahead.” Buyers have been refunded, but developers who worked on the game are now saying their (maybe temporary) goodbyes.Concord animator David Reyes posted a picture of the game’s now ultra-rare Platinum Trophy – the one that had players desperately jumping off cliffs – that only 0.2% of players ever nabbed. “This platinum is very special to me… Thank you team, we made something awesome.”This platinum is very special to me🥹 @FirewalkStudios @PlayConcord Thank you team, we made something awesome🙏🏽 pic.twitter.com/c9hWgwrV22September 6, 2024″I cannot thank this community enough for the amount of love and support they’ve poured into us,” community development lead Bethany Hulse tweeted. “Thank you for being here, and for being a part …

Indiana Jones and the Great Circle overcomes God of War Ragnarok’s overeager tip-giver issue with a simple camera trick

Overly chatty protagonists have become a staple in modern gaming. Most notably, Horizon: Forbidden West and God of War Ragnarok’s talkative characters will give hints for puzzles mere moments after entering a room.Indiana Jones and the Great Circle developer MachineGames has a simple solution to this problem using one of Indy’s trusted tools – his camera. Speaking to Edge magazine, Game director Jerk Gustafsson mentions, “Thanks to that, we’ve not shied away from doing medium-to-hard puzzles, which is one of my favorite features in the game. We don’t have to be afraid that we need to completely dumb it down because someone gets stuck, which is a prickly problem in many ways.”This allows players to decide when they want a hint while also giving MachineGames the leeway to create more challenging puzzles. It serves more than just a hint system, though. It also exists to promote exploration and discovery, which design director Jens Andersson points out: “You get adventure points…

Ark 2: Everything we know so far

Four years after its reveal, we still don’t have a confirmed Ark 2 release date although developer Studio Wildcard maintains that the survival game is still set to launch in “late 2024.” With only a few months left of the year we’re desperately seeking more clarity there, but thankfully there’s still plenty of info out there for you to learn about Ark 2. As the sequel to one of the best survival games, Ark 2 is set to expand massively on the foundations of its predecessor. We know that Vin Diesel is on board as an executive producer and set to play a leading role in the Ark 2 story (the Fast & Furious actor is reportedly a big fan of Ark: Survival Evolved), and that Studio Wildcard is making big changes to core elements of play – including the addition of “Souls-like melee combat”, with Wildcard CEO Doug Kennedy going so far as to say that Ark 2 will do “something which has never been done” in video games before.It’s exciting times, which is why Ark 2 remains one of our …
