Over the last three days, Helldivers 2‘s Steam ratings have reached an all-time low at ‘overwhelmingly negative,’ drawing harsh criticism from the players over the requirement to connect their PSN account to their Steam account or lose the ability to play the game in the future. “The greater problem is PSN being ancient and letting you do accounts only in specific countries, not global ones.

Turns out that Warhammer 40K: Space Marine 2 will include a currently officially unconfirmed PvP mode. It's been more than a decade since Warhammer 40K: Space Marine launched, but later this year will see the arrival of a sequel from Saber Interactive. Dom went hands-on with the game at Gamescom last year, and enjoyed it so much they even said it might just be their game of the show. And like so many games these days, it seems like it will have an online mode, though it hasn't been confirmed just yet. Earlier this week, YouTuber prdalien0 offered a look at The Art and Making of Warhammer 40K: Space Marine 2, an art book that's meant to come with the collector's edition of the game, which unsurprisingly has revealed a few spoilers about the game. I'm not going to touch on any story spoilers for you here, you can watch the full video for yourself if you are desperate to know more, but the biggest thing the book has confirmed is that it will have a PvP mode. Apparently the mode will be Marines versus Marines "only" and the art book also confirmed what different classes will be available in it. There'll also seemingly be banner and clan customisation, as well as a hub area where you can choose missions and upgrade your Space Marine. Read more View the full article
Image: Samar Haddad / The Verge A good video game speedrun is a marvel to witness. You watch players fly through your favorite games, hitting impossible jumps and finding shortcuts you never knew existed. It makes you see a familiar game in a whole new light. If you’ve never watched a speedrun, check out this world-record run through the original Super Mario Bros., and you’ll see what I’m talking about. Being, you know, a speedrun, it’ll take all of five minutes of your time. But what you won’t see (unless you follow speedrunners on Twitch) is the hours upon hours of work it took to create that perfect run — the thousands of attempts to navigate a game with perfect precision, shaving off every unnecessary move, exploiting every weird glitch.
