Going Green, due out on 28th January on PC, PlayStation 4, Xbox One and Nintendo Switch, lets prisoners grow produce (potatoes, wheat, apples etc) and create a self-sustaining compound. You can farm the land, build green energy sources (solar, wind, and solar/wind hybrid) and customise the compound with sustainable materials. Produce can be exported or used as ingredients for inmate meals. The Going Green trailer is below: There are three outdoor rooms for farming: the fruit orchard, farm field and vegetable allotment....

It’s an interesting one, sitting in the mid-size territory between the smaller Sanhok and larger Erangel and Miramar maps, and it brings some new mechanics and strategic elements like footprints with it, too. Here, we’ll run through some suggestions for the best Vikendi start locations as well as some Vikendi strategies that we’ve picked up from our time with it, plus all the essential details on exlusive Vikendi vehicles and gear, too....

It features a kindly traveller who asks you to collect herbs for him in exchange for some beneficial rewards. Though the questline plays out differently than most Stranger missions, it has a definitive start point and task. This page explains how to start The Ends of the Earth quest, find the Yarrow location, and what happens next. On this page: For more help, our Red Dead Redemption 2 walkthrough explains the requirements for fully completing the game’s many story missions....

There’s not too much common ground between God of War and Sonic the Hedgehog, of course (and if you’re looking for a point of differentiation, the cool 22 points between the pair on Metacritic’s as good a place as any to start) but as this week’s two big releases they make fascinating bedfellows. God of War: Ragnarok is the epitome of the modern blockbuster - big, bold and maybe a little bit bloated, it’s nevertheless a powerhouse that shows the might of Sony’s first-party studios....

First spotted on the XboxSeriesX subreddit, the game was listed on the “Recently added” selection despite no official announcement by Microsoft. The official store page for the game on Xbox confirms that the game is indeed on Game Pass. The indie sim was first released on PC back in 2018 before being ported over to last-gen consoles in 2020. Players are first tasked with earning some cash by doing handywork before buying your first property and renovating it before well, flipping it for a profit....

In a separate round of interviews, Capcom staff have been discussing the project further - including the original’s slightly contentious inclusion of button-mashing quick-time events (QTEs). The good news here is the Resi 4 remake will tone these down - and in-game cut-scenes will no longer force you to quickly pick up the controller and spam a button to avoid death. “I’d say there are ‘barely any’ QTEs,” producer Yoshiaki Hirabayashi told IGN....

Those who buy the game from Currys/PC World can get five pounds off if they enter “FNDDGAME” at the checkout, bringing the price down to £59.99 total. It’s a good deal considering the high demand around Ring Fit, as well as the fact that the game comes with a peripheral ring you need to clip the Joy-Cons into. Ring Fit Adventure - buy from Currys/PC World for £59.99 Currys haven’t made it clear how long this offer will last, but considering how fast Ring Fits tend to disappear, we’d encourage grabbing it quickly before stocks vanish yet again....

The postponed launch comes as little surprise - few had expected both Suicide Squad and fellow Batman spin-off Gotham Knights to arrive in the same year. Rocksteady boss Sefton Hill confirmed the delay this afternoon in a statement released via Twitter. “We’ve made the difficult decision to delay Suicide Squad: Kill The Justice League to spring 2023,” Hill wrote. “I know a delay is frustrating but that time is going into making the best game we can....

As you may have guessed, Boss Factory offers you the chance to really get stuck into the game’s character creator and make your own Boss (or Bosses plural, as you can indeed have up to six of them saved) and then have them ready to go for Saints Row’s full release. You will have access to all of the game’s Boss customisation options, bar special progression-locked items (so yes, you can play around with those modesty emojis to your heart’s content)....

ORIGINAL STORY 11.45am UK: Silent Hill is an unsettling series across the board, there’s no denying that - and the silhouette of its fan-favourite Pyramid Head is enough to induce nightmares. Now we know more about how this monstrous humanoid came to be, at least in terms of his conception - and it turns out he was inspired by background characters from the 1995 film Braveheart. Sharing this titbit on Twitter, Silent Hill 2 director Masahiro Ito revealed the film’s executioners that pop up when Mel Gibson’s William Wallace is being hung, drawn and quartered, were the “inspiration for the background of Pyramid Head from [Silent Hill 2]”....

Characters from Konami’s Castlevania games – Simon Belmont and Alucard – are launching on 19th October, “just in time for Halloween”. Here they are in action: As an Epic Crossover for Jhala, Simon Belmont – who’s described as a “prominent vampire hunter from the 17th century” but just looks like He-Man to me – is often referred to as “the most famous vampire hunter of all time”. He is the heir to the renowned Vampire Killer whip....

The Bunker - which will be the fourth Amnesia game, following on from The Dark Descent, A Machine for Pigs, and last year’s Rebirth - promises to be something a little bit different, favouring “unscripted” semi-open-world horror over its predecessors’ more linear scares. “For the first time, players are equipped with high levels of freedom to impact gameplay, choosing their playstyle as they explore at will,” Frictional explains in its announcement....

Masato Nakamura roped in his J-pop group Dreams Come True to help write the new version and star in its video, in celebration of Sonic’s 30th anniversary (thanks, VGC). Titled “Tsugino Seno! De - On The Green Hill”, the video below includes numerous visual nods to Sega’s mascot, while Nakamura himself plays bass. Appropriately, the lyrics speak of running through forests and over green hills, which is also what the video is all about: This new version seems to have official approval, too....

Sons of the Forest is the sequel to Endnight’s The Forest, and promises plenty more unnerving gameplay for survival-horror fans. However, this horror-fest will have to wait, as Endnight wants to ensure it delivers the best game to its patrons, and as such has moved its release date back a few months. Sharing the news on Twitter, the developer wrote: “Over these past few weeks, we have realised that our May 2022 release date for Sons of The Forest was overly ambitious....

It’s not yet known what the games will be, but they’ll be available at no extra charge in November.

That’s according to PlayStation’s SVP of platform experience, Hideaki Nishino, speaking in the latest episode of the Official PlayStation Podcast (jump to the 29:10 mark). “PSVR games are not compatible with PSVR2,” he explained in answer to a question from the host, “because PSVR2 is designed to deliver a truly next-generation VR experience”. Elaborating further, Nishino claimed the new elements of the PVSR2 hardware - inside-out tracking and eye-tracking, 3D audio, a 4K HDR display, and its controller with adaptive triggers and haptic feedback - meant “developing games for PSVR2 requires a whole different approach than the original PSVR....

A post on his Facebook page this afternoon (spotted by Kotaku) noted today was his last day at Nintendo. Over a career spanning six console generations, Imamura worked on some of Nintendo’s biggest franchises such as Donkey Kong and Zelda. His work for the latter included designing the fan-favourite character Tingle, but it’s for his creation of the core Star Fox cast of characters that Imamura is best known. In a memorable 2017 interview, Imamura recalled how the game was originally going to feature human protagonists until Nintendo legend Shigeru Miyamoto intervened....
