Community round-up XVII18/8/2016 Thanks to Plasma Wing for this lovely image from Oddworld: New 'n' Tasty. Just Add Water have done a fantastic job with this; it's a must play for fans of the original. I don't think I'll ever get the achievement for saving all Mudokons, but I did manage to kill 99 of the poor green fellas in my first playthrough. If you want to see "...two villains, complete with top hats and monocles, dropping sacks of puppies into a volcano," then you'll have to work harder, you sicko. If multiplayer gaming is your thing, you can look forward to a couple of upcoming tests this month. Liam reported that the Titanfall 2 technical tests start this weekend (and so the first should be happening right now), and the Battlefield 1 open beta kicks off at the end of the month, but you'll need to sign-up quick-sharp if you want to try it out a bit earlier. With the two shooters releasing this October, it prompted DE4N MUFC to muse whether the crowded schedule would have an adverse effect on Titanfall 2's sales: I can't believe this is still being released just a week after Battlefield 1, sales are going to suffer surely? We can't help but agree. Although it wouldn't be too far fetched to think that one or both titles could be pushed back a little if the forthcoming tests aren't hitting all the right spots. Plasma Wing and Timmeh555 will be around on Saturday, for those looking to squad up on Titanfall 2, while Decent Jam is hoping to get some playtime in on Sunday, and Sam too (hectic work schedule allowing). We keep him busy. Not like I've been stalking him or anything (ahem...), but Liam also gave us a run-down of all things Ubisoft as they revealed a host of new details about what they have in the works. In news that will surprise, nay shock you to your very core, it was merely hours before Sam showed up to inform us about his For Honor Collector's Case purchase: I just pre-ordered, got it for £95.99 down from £119.99 using points earnt in Ubisoft games We think the only person more excited about this game is the Ubisoft Viking himself, Jason VandenBerghe. It's not all work and no play for our Liam though; he still found the time to engage in a good old game of Hammer-Ghoul, leaving no survivors. It's almost as if there isn't a settlement somewhere, in need of his help. Those looking for some more straight forward one-on-one violence might want to pop into the Fighters Thread, where Max shared a video of Injustice 2. In the video we see Harley Quinn take on Blue Beetle, and Wonder Woman face off against Gorilla Grodd. There's also a taste of the customisation options, which look quite extensive. Also, Sam has been playing King of Fighters XIV; if you want to know how it shapes up, keep an eye out for our review early next week.
My Clip of the Week goes to MetalRodent, who gets a cheeky triple kill in Battlefield Hardline. That's all from us, so to continue my run of slightly cheating by using licensed music, this week's track is Pressure Drop by Toots and The Maytals, from GTA: San Andreas.
