I am lost in my own factory. From every direction, every angle, conveyor belts and smelters and assemblers obscure my senses and envelop my being. Twenty hours ago I placed my first manufacturer somewhere around here. Back then it represented the state of the art, hatching me a pristine batch of 1.25 computers every minute - now I’ve forgotten where I put the ***** thing, after delving into my factory’s guts to ***** that piddly yet still useful batch of old relics up to my main production line. I’m building supercomputers now, and the many manufacturers that make those are hungry. Something is always hungry in Satisfactory, and that hunger pulls you from task to task in a near-seamless and frankly beautiful daze of ever-escalating industry. It is mesmerising and it is fearsome, and after five years of early access it’s finally complete. Read more View the full article
PlayStation’s co-CEO has said that consoles will remain at the core of its business in future, even as it looks to expand its audience on PC and mobile devices. Sony Interactive Entertainment has recently made expanding to PC and mobile devices a priority for its business, though console users continue to receive the majority of its releases well in advance of other platforms. In a new interview, Hideaki Nishino, head of Sony Interactive Entertainment’s Platform Business Group, was asked by ********* publication Nikkei (paywalled) if he could summarise the value of consoles.

Arrowhead added a couple of extra bullet points to the list of changes we know are coming as part of Helldivers 2's big patch tomorrow over the weekend. The big one? The eruptor's finally getting its shrapnel back, and hopefully in a form that should make you less likely to accidentally do yourself in when you ***** it. That's just one of the little snippets of the notes for Patch 01.001.007 Arrowhead's shared, as it continues to build to the update dropping on September 17, followed by the Chemical Agents Warbond just a couple of days later. If you need to catch up, there've already been tweaks revealed for the likes of flamethrowers, the railgun, and rocket-toting enemies. Arrowhead's latest update note reveals centred around the eruptor and the arc thrower. Starting off with the former, as you might remember, it was all the talk back in late April/early May due to the shrapnel from it being the cause of lots of players accidentally ******** themselves. The shrapnel was removed from the ****, but the buffs Arrowhead gave it in an effort to make up for this didn't do the trick in many players' eyes. Read more View the full article

Diablo 4 suffered a rocky first few months and, though it did improve over time, amassed a ton of critics along the way. Despite all the lambasting from players, the dungeon crawler has done well, earning over a billion dollars total since launch—and $150 million from microtransactions alone. As reported by PC Gamer via Gamepressure, Blizzard’s senior product manager for Diablo 4, Harrison Froeschke, recently shared a lot of information about the game on his LinkedIn profile, specifically the numbers the title had hit since launch. The now-hidden details, Gamepressure shows, include Froeschke boasting that Diablo 4 has made a whopping billion dollars since its launch in June 2023 and how it has managed to earn “over $150 million micro-transaction lifetime revenue.” Blizzard managed this despite the near-constant criticism from the players—which has subsided somewhat following seasonal patches that have improved the game since launch.

Happy this week, everybody! The squirrels are trying to ***** me. There's a massive horse chestnut tree outside my flat, and whenever I walk under it they drop conkers on my head. The squirrels are clearly Maw cultists. They want to give me a concussion and choke of the supply of video game news to the Maw, which will then manifest fully and bring about an age of darkness. Well, the joke's on you, squirrels, because I used to play grass hockey as a **** and I've been hit in the head by hard round objects a million times over. How else do you explain my choice of career? Anyway, here's a curated list of PC games that are out in the next five days. Read more View the full article
If you've been playing Space Marine 2 as of late, you may find yourself among the many keen to see more Chaos space marine content. Be it customisation options for the PvP multiplayer mode, or even some PvE missions to help flesh out the antagonistic faction, there's a real hunger for some more love for the Warhammer baddies. There may be some good news in the future for you, as Space Marine 2's creative director has offered some hope for Chaos content over Twitter. Oliver Hollis-Leick, creative director at Saber Interactive, has spent much of his time in recent days responding to fan questions over the social media platform. It's through these that insight into future Chaos additions to the game was revealed. When asked about more customisation and perhaps even PvE content for Chaos in the future, Hollis-Leick responded with the following: "There are a lot of requests for more Chaos customisation so it's likely we'll add it eventually. Chaos stories would be cool but we'll have to see. I'd love to tell their side of the story!" Read more View the full article
Warhammer 40K: Darktide - one of the best Warhammer games in recent years and a very good co-op shooter - may be popping up on the PS5 according to a Taiwanese game rating. This rating, spotted by Gematsu, has seemingly listed the game as incoming to the Sony platform, though there hasn't been any official announcement by Fatshark or Sony for that matter as of writing. Whether this is a canary in the coal mine for a larger announcement in the near future, or a fumbled entry on a national rating platform historically fumble-averse will surely be revealed in the coming weeks or months. Darktide has been trucking along rather nicely since its release. Originally let out into the wild in a peculiar state, with some genuine flaws tied to progression and performance, time has only made the game more inticing. These days, being blessed with notable major content updates, it's one of the better co-op PvE shooters out there. It's been doing rather well on both the PC and Xbox up until now, so PS5 players will surely be keen to hop into a game at its best. Read more View the full article
There are constant questions over whether GTA 6 will be delayed, but one former Rockstar dev thinks any announcement of a delay won't come until next year. Earlier this month, some rumours started to spread that GTA 6 had been delayed, but Bloomberg's Jason Schreier (known for his strong reputation when it comes to insider information) says that that doesn't seem to be the case after speaking with six employees at Rockstar - though he did also make it clear that these devs haven't been informed of a delay, meaning one could still be coming, but right now it doesn't seem to be happening. Of course, with all this talk of delays, it's still on the minds of a lot of players eager to jump into what is probably the most anticipated sequel of the decade. In turn, former Rockstar North technical director Obbe Vermeij, who worked on several GTA titles including GTA 3, 4, Vice City, and San Andreas, offered his perspective on when news of a delay might come. "The decision to delay GTA 4 was made 4 months or so before the original release date," Vermeij explains of the beloved fourth game in the series. "Any further and it's hard to make the call. [Rockstar] is probably not in a position to determine whether they will hit 2025 until May-ish." Read more View the full article

Goichi 'Suda51' Suda - of No More Heroes and Killer7 fame - reckons a focus on Metacritic scores is bad for creativity. Speaking to [Hidden Content] alongside survival horror genre maker-upper Shinji Mikami, Suda expressed his frustrations with the review aggregator platform’s cultural cache. "Everybody pays too much attention to and cares too much about Metacritic scores. It's gotten to the point where there's almost a set formula – if you want to get a high Metacritic score, this is how you make the game," Suda51 told Gi.biz. Read more View the full article

Mask Lines in Enotria: The Last Song are special abilities that can prove incredibly useful against enemies. They vary in effects, boasting different elemental damage types, charging speeds, and ranges. And while there are several of them, it’s worth collecting them all if you want to diversify builds. Most Mask Lines can be found in chests around the world, but some must be earned from defeating bosses or by unlocking roles. You can equip four Mask Lines at a time per loadout, and it’s a wise decision to divvy them up based on the elemental damage they provide and how quickly you can charge them. View the full article
Elements play a major role in Enotria: The Last Song. Early into your journey in the soulslike, you’ll meet enemies that have a bright red bar where their health would normally be. It’ll be accompanied by one of four symbols. If you don’t choose the right ******* or Mask Line to ****** these foes, you won’t do much damage to them. That’s because some enemies have resistances to certain Elements, and you’ll need to ******* them with their counter if you want to chip away at their health more efficiently. There are four Elements—Vis, Gratia, Malanno, and Fatuo—in Enotria: The Last Song, and certain weapons and Mask Lines will do more damage in one type of Element compared to the others.

Reigning ESL Pro League champions MOUZ have shockingly exited Season 20 without a playoff appearance following a less-than-impressive group stage this week. In doing so, their exit—combined with several other upsets in groups—has meant one-half of the finals bracket is stacked with top squads. MOUZ’s near defeat in their opener against Aussie CS2 minnows Rooster was put down to an off day, but instead, it should have been a precursor to what came next. The champs dropped their upper bracket series to Brazilian squad Imperial before back-to-back losses against Complexity ended their title defense early. View the full article
