Fortnite’s current season is still a long way from finishing but that hasn’t stopped the developers from hiding a huge Marvel tease on the map as part of the Metallica update. A mid-season update to Fortnite on June 13 added the legendary rock band to the Epic Games title, with new additions across every game mode, but the opportunity has also been taken to add a hint towards the next chapter on the map.

This could be a one-sentence preview, really. I got to play a solid dozen matches (against the CPU) of Battle Mode, one of a few different modes in Dragon Ball: Sparking Zero, the upcoming fighting game built around DBZ’s most famous and recognizable heroes and villains. Here’s the key sentence: it absolutely feels like getting to play a battle from the legendary anime. That is both the most obvious thing I can say about it and the exact sentence I imagine that most DBZ fans want to hear. After choosing your fighter – and there are dozens of variations of well-known characters here – you choose one of over half a dozen stages to battle on, study up on your special moves, and then enter the arena. And once you get there, you’d be forgiven if you thought you were watching an episode of the anime. The cel-shaded visuals are note-perfect to the show, and the animation equally helps sell the idea that your eyes are looking at a pre-baked episode of television and not a real-time interactive experience. Once you start moving around and attacking, it really locks in as a Dragon Ball battle versus being a traditional one-on-one fighting game on a 2D plane. Not only can you fly anywhere you want – including launching yourself quite high in the air with the press of the left shoulder button – but you can quickly and easily unleash environment-destroying attacks like Goku’s Meteor Smash that will reduce half a cliffside to a pile of dust in an instant. The goal, the Bandai Namco folks told me, was to make players feel as powerful as possible. If you choose Custom Battle, you can set very unique victory conditions, lending an extra bit of opportunity to recreate your favorite confrontations from the anime, whether you’re fighting Piccolo, Radditz, or one of dozens of other characters. I scrolled through the list and there is truly an insane number of options here. Also, Bandai Namco was also quick to point out that local multiplayer will be available on day one for both Early Access and DBSZ’s formal 1.0 launch. Even after just a dozen or so matches against the CPU, it became clear to me that Dragon Ball superfans who are exceptionally good at fighting games – or those who intend to practice a lot with Sparking Zero – are going to find themselves having a great time crushing their competition.

Few media properties have the instant tug of nostalgia at your heartstrings like Dragon Ball, and DRAGON BALL: Sparking! ZERO weaponizes that feeling as easily as its characters power up into Sparking mode. It’s been a long, long time since the last Budokai Tenkaichi game graced our screens and gave us the best taste of the action you could get outside of the overwhelmingly popular Dragonball manga and anime series. But at a hands-on preview of the game behind closed doors at Summer Game Fest, Sparking! ZERO delivered exactly what makes the series so great: the 3D movement, the furiously paced action, and the super Saiyan power-ups allowing you to live out your Dragon Ball fantasies to their greatest extent.

Ok, so you haven't got very long left to get all of the prepration you want to do out of the way ahead of Elden Ring's Shadow of the Erdtree DLC dropping on June 21. Don't worry, though, if you think you're in need of an extra challenge to sharpen you skills before heading into the Land of Shadow, here's a mod that can help. Just in case you didn't know already, there are actually some steps you'll need to have taken just to be able to access the DLC at launch - as in, if you haven't, you'll have them to do once it does arrive. Right, now that's out of the way, here's a thing you definitely don't need to experience pre-DLC, but should try anyway for a laugh. The mod is simply called 'Capitalism Mod', and it's the work of modder thefifthmatt, who's been responsible for a lot of the fun Elden Ring randomisers you've likely seen streamers playing around with over the past year or so. After all, what could make FromSoft's work more fun than not knowing which enemies or items you might encounter as you scythe through locations for the third, fourth, or hundredth time?

Ten years ago, we were drowning in early access survival games about chopping trees and crafting camp fires. Rust pit monstrous players against one another, DayZ had us dashing around for beans and bleach, while The Forest creeped us the ***** out in a dark jungle. There was even a week-long celebration here at RPS called survival week to get the genre out of our systems. A lot of those games have since graduated to a full 1.0 release, but one survivalist shambled on. 7 Days To **** is a solid sandbox craft 'em up with zombie hordes, and it never left the comfort of its early access log cabin surrounded by spikes and land mines. But a (tentative) release date is finally on the horizon, according to the developers. And it's quite soon. Read more View the full article
