There’s a new Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater trailer showing off an extensive array of the game’s early cutscenes, and it looks both gorgeous and absolutely faithful to the 2004 original. But there’s just something about the old voice acting coming out of the new character models that feels a little bit weird.Metal Gear Solid Delta reuses the voice acting of the original MGS3, so all the line delivery is just as it was back in 2004. The original Snake Eater has one of the all-time great sets of vocal performances, with just the combination of military thriller drama and campy anime shenanigans to make it all extremely memorable. David Hayter’s performance as Snake is absolutely iconic for a reason.But while the camp worked great in the slightly stylized look of the PS2 original, it looks a lot weirder coming out of a bunch of modern, highly realistic character models. Just take a look at the trailer below. Look at when Snake starts speaking around the 0:43 mark. It’s a little off,…
The Star Wars Outlaws Rejected mission sees you following intel to find a password for a merchant that won’t trade with you. You’ll need to find the right people to eavesdrop on in Mirogana Market, which isn’t clear so let me explain everything. Find the right people and get what you need and you’ll gain access to the shop of a shady merchant who “only talks to friends”. Thankfully, this quest is very easy to solve in Star Wars Outlaws, so let me direct you to exactly where you need to go to get this Star Wars Outlaws Rejected password.How to complete the Rejected mission in Star Wars Outlaws From the Rejected merchant’s alley, head to the main market area and go up the stairs on your right to reach the upper balcony level of the market.

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 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…
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…
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…

Release date rumors
Mass Effect 5 gameplay
Mass Effect 5 concept art
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…
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…
