Starfield with Will Shen

Bethesda have released another Constellation Questions developer chat video for Starfield, this time with Lead Quest Designer Will Shen.

There are no major revelations but this video does nail down a few details for this game which have varied in previous Bethesda titles.

Welcome to HELL-A

Games which allow you to play as a vampire are so numerous we couldn't even guess at their number. Vampires are sexy, strong and the posh nosh of the undead world.

Zombies are another matter. Typically mindless shotgun-fodder of the undead world, the gameplay trailer (warning - quite gory) for Dead Island 2 interestingly shows the player becoming one.

Fat Survivor

Though not officially being revealed until The Game Awards later this week, a March 15 release date for open world action roleplaying souls-like Star Wars Jedi: Survivor was briefly visible on its Steam page.

Along with system requirements which include 130 GB of storage. More than double the original game's (Fallen Order) 55 GB.

Fantasy Wins

Reviews for survival horror The Callisto Protocol are coming in and like Gotham Knights, some major sites (Gamespot) have scored it a terrifying 5 out of 10. Its current review average on Metacritic is 74.

Horizon Forbidden West, Stray and Grounded garnered critical praise but not as much as fantasy titles Elden Ring and God of War: Ragnarok.

Space Academy

We just described not sci-fi game first person shooter Far Cry 6 announcing a sci-fi DLC as slightly unusual, but another game has done exactly the same thing.

Two Point Campus is a university simulation game which launched in August and its first DLC will be Space Academy.

Lost Between Worlds

The Far Cry first person shooter franchise has just done something slightly unusual though not entirely out of character.

Far Cry 6 is set on a fictional Caribbean island and isn't sci-fi. But it's getting a very sci-fi DLC called Lost Between Worlds.

Warhammer v Marvel

We recently contrasted the promotional strategies employed by games Warhammer 40K: Darktide and Marvel's Midnight Suns. A light tickle versus saturation bombing.

Today launch trailers dropped for both titles (Darktide, Suns) so we'll play the comparison game again.

Heroic Assault

As announced and on time, Warner Bros. have introduced the new 4 player co-op Heroic Assault content featuring interstellar villain Starro, and with it also a surprise 2 player co-op supercharged villain Showdown mode for action roleplaying game Gotham Knights.

Looks about what you'd expect but immediately the writing jars.

Go Go Marvel Suns

Firaxis have released both a combat overview trailer and a "Let's Go!" special message for their upcoming tactical roleplaying game Marvel's Midnight Suns.

From people who've been able to play it - which isn't us - there's a lot of love for the gameplay but not the story.
