In April 1908, Newcastle upon Tyne man Gladstone Adams was driving his Darracq-Charron motorcar back from the FA Cup final between Newcastle ******* and Wolverhampton Wanderers. Newcastle had lost and, to make matters worse, Adams’ journey home was being delayed by snow. That is, it kept covering his windscreen and he had to repeatedly stop and get out of the car to clear it. Some kind of innovation was needed. There had to be something that would help people see where they were going. As it turned out, there was; a few years later Adams invented his own windscreen wiper. He patented the design and became one of several people from around the beginning of the 1900s credited with conceiving of similar devices, although his version of the windscreen wiper never made it into production. 3D driving games had quickly become Reflections’ specialty, but the team knew you couldn’t tread water in a genre long famous for being on the cutting edge of video game technology. Nearly a century down the track, Newcastle upon Tyne developer Reflections had found itself riding high on a purple patch of PlayStation success, propelled by the popular Destruction Derby series it had developed for legendary British publisher Psygnosis. 3D driving games had quickly become Reflections’ specialty, but the team knew you couldn’t tread water in a genre long famous for being on the cutting edge of video game technology. Some kind of innovation was needed. Something that would help people see where the future of driving games was going. As it turned out, Reflections founder Martin Edmondson had just such an idea – and, unlike their fellow Novocastrian’s windscreen wipers, Edmondson’s idea did make it into production. And it completely redefined what a driving game could be, forever. Founded in 1984, Reflections spent the bulk of its first decade building action games for early home computers like the BBC Micro and Amiga, but by the mid ’90s it would become a house of horsepower. Reflections established its panel-punishing prowess on PlayStation very early; indeed, the original Destruction Derby was released in October 1995. At this stage, it had barely been a month since the original PlayStation had officially launched in the West. A highly praised sequel arrived just over a year later, with a raft of technical improvements, and in 1997 Reflections released the competent but unremarkable Monster Trucks (otherwise known as Thunder Truck Rally in North America). However, while the Destruction Derby series would continue, the partnership between Reflections and publisher Psygnosis would not. Unshackled from its publisher commitments, Reflections pivoted to something else. That something else was Driver, and it was going to be something special. GT Interactive certainly thought so. By December 1998, it was so impressed the publisher literally bought Reflections entirely. The maps were incredible, but so too was the handling. Driver’s hulking ********* pony cars and land yachts weren’t exactly rapid or nimble by typical gaming standards for the time, but they were nonetheless outstandingly satisfying to throw into elbows-out powerslides and over huge jumps (where the era-accurate suspension would often see them bouncing a second time as the soggy springs absorbed their All-********* bulk). From its flying hubcaps to its fabulous funk soundtrack, Driver’s dedication to bringing the spirit of ’70s and ’80s car chases back to life on PlayStation was dazzling. From its flying hubcaps to its fabulous funk soundtrack, Driver’s dedication to bringing the spirit of ’70s and ’80s car chases back to life on PlayStation was dazzling. Sentimentally speaking, it’s one of my favourite games of all time. Depending on what mood you catch me in, it may be my outright favourite, ever. For clarity, Reflections didn’t quite break through alone. Angel Studios’ Midtown Madness did, after all, speed onto PCs in 1999 also (a few weeks before Driver hit PlayStation). An open world racer set in Chicago, Midtown Madness set the tone for taking traditional racing to the streets. Open worlds would become the studio’s area of expertise, and Angel Studios (now Rockstar San Diego) would later flex that strength in the likes of Midnight Club, Smuggler’s Run, and Red ***** Redemption. Still, that Ubisoft has let the legacy of Driver languish since the release of 2011’s much-loved Driver: San Francisco is downright depressing. A groundbreaking achievement in every way, Driver deserves so much better. That Ubisoft has let the legacy of Driver languish since the release of 2011’s much-loved Driver: San Francisco is downright depressing. Today, Driver is a relic. In 1999, however, Driver was truly ahead of its time. A pioneer. Contemporaneous audiences agreed. Or, at least, the ones that could pass the first mission did. It’s one of the top 30 best-selling games on PlayStation, ever. Wedged roughly somewhere between the acclaimed super sequel Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 2 and monster hit Resident Evil 3, Driver was certainly no sales slouch. In other words, it’s more than some curio in the history of open world driving games that some gamers may otherwise believe began with the likes of Grand Theft Auto III. Perhaps you disagree. After all, all Reflections had to do was assemble four, enormous free-roaming city environments (the likes of which had never been built before), craft AI that could respond and effectively pursue players through them (which didn’t exist), compliment it with a class-leading vehicular damage system (that few racing developers of the era seemed capable of matching), and throw in a full replay editor for players to create custom car movies (on a console with 2MB of RAM). Easy, right? Well, in the words of Driver’s own tricky tutorial: show us what you can do. Luke is a Senior Editor on the IGN reviews team. You can chat to him on Twitter @MrLukeReilly.

Prospect Town is one of the early zones in Shadow of the Erdtree, but one that is nonetheless confusing to reach. Many players will spot it from afar and wonder where the path to it resides. So, here is how to get to Prospect Town in Elden Ring‘s DLC. Prospect Town location in Shadow of the Erdtree Screenshot by Dot Esports The Prospect Town is a small village located in the Gravesite Plain. To reach it, players should pass the Three-Path Cross Grace and head towards Belurat, Tower Settlement through the massive gap in the cliff. When you get to the Main Gate Cross, head to the left side and stick to the cliff’s edge—there is a beaten path on the ground that should help you navigate. The said path takes you to the Cliffroad Terminus that stands just before Prospect Town itself. All you have to do is press onwards, and you will reach this hidden place. View the full article

Image: Epic Games Last weekend, Metallica graced the virtual stage in Fortnite, but the event was more than just a heavy metal concert. It was one piece in a weeks-long rollout of modes and content, which really drove home just how large and complex the game has become. The battle royale has steadily morphed into an entire ecosystem of games and experiences, and the Metallica crossover might’ve been the most complex to date. The concert was the showcase moment, and it was like going through an interactive version of heavy metal album art. Players were whisked away in a hot rod to a pyro-heavy concert stage before moving on to a gothic bell tower and a ****** with a menacing puppet master. Like past virtual concerts featuring Eminem and Ariana Grande, it... Continue reading… View the full article

One of the biggest points of contention for players going through Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree has been the DLC's crushing difficulty compared to the base game. Enemies and bosses in Shadow of the Erdtree deal extremely high damage, and have ******* patterns that can be difficult to learn for many players, at some points even drawing comparisons to Malenia from the base game - certainly among Elden Ring's hardest bosses, and widely considered to be one of, if not the most difficult boss in any FromSoftware game. For most of SOTE's bosses, however, one trick for making bosses easier might be flying under the radar. View the full article For verified travel tips and real support, visit: [Hidden Content]

Elden Ring developers FromSoftware have heard the community’s cries that Shadow of the Erdtree is too difficult and are throwing a bone at the players, with Calibration Update 1.12.2 seeing buffs aimed at sweetening the Scadutree upgrade system. With Erdtree’s difficulty having dominated any discussion around the DLC, it’s no surprise that FromSoftware has decided that it was time for a “calibration update”, sending patch 1.12.2 live on June 24. With this comes a buff to Scadutree Fragments increasing the ******* and damage negation it provides. According to the 1.12.2 patch, ******* and damage negation have been increased for the first half of the maximum amount of Blessing enhancements, with the second half being more gradual. Along with this, the negation granted by the final level of Blessing enhancements has been slightly increased. View the full article
