"The History of TranStar" details the dark history of Talos I, a space station owned by the TranStar Corporation. Take a look at the video below. Since TranStar took over, the station has been used as a testing ground for some morally dubious experiments, with people on board serving as subjects, including the game’s protagonist, Morgan Yu.
After awakening on Talos I, Morgan finds the station overrun by a previously contained non-terrestrial entity called Typhon, which the scientists had been studying in an effort to improve the scope of human abilities. Now, equipped with strange alien-based powers, Yu must survive the incursion, uncover the mysteries surrounding Typhon and save humanity from the impending danger aboard the station. No pressure.

After months of speculation, Nintendo have finally unveiled their next console - and it looks like the hearsay was somewhat accurate. The Switch will also support a Pro Controller, and the brief appearance of Amiibo figures at around the 2:15 mark suggests they might be compatible with the new console. Check out the First Look trailer for a glimpse at some of the console’s key features and supported games – including The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, NBA 2K, Mario Kart, Splatoon and … Skyrim?? Reggie Fils-Aime, President and COO of Nintendo of America, had this to say about Nintendo’s next console: “Nintendo Switch allows gamers the freedom to play however they like. It gives game developers new abilities to bring their creative visions to life by opening up the concept of gaming without boundaries.” Some of those developers that will be taking advantage of the Switch’s new abilities can be seen in the image below.

After two days of teasers Rockstar Games have officially confirmed that Red Dead Redemption 2 will be releasing next year. We’ll get our first glimpse of the game this Thursday when a new trailer will be unveiled.
A sequel to 2010's Red Dead Redemption has been rumoured for a while. Earlier in the year the game's map was supposedly leaked, before quickly being taken down. At the time, Techradar claimed that a source close to the development of the game had confirmed its legitimacy, but there's been no official word as of yet. Last year, someone claiming to be an ex Rockstar employee posted a thread on Reddit, stating that the game will be a prequel to Red Dead Redemption.
He went on to say that Seth and Irish, characters from Redemption, would be two of the game's three protagonists. All of this should be taken with a pinch of salt as there's no way to verify these claims and the source also mentioned that the game would carry the subtitle "Legends of the West", which doesn't seem to be the case. Hopefully we'll have some solid details soon. The trailer is due to release on Thursday at 4pm. Excited about Red Dead Redemption 2? Share your thoughts with us in the forums or comments below. Sniper: Ghost Warrior 3 will no longer be launching 27 January 2017, CI Games announced today. CEO of CI Games, Marek Tymiński, confirmed news of the delay via a press release:
"We’re making an ambitious game and unfortunately still need an extra few months to make sure it will stand up to the expectations of the fans. Our goal is to ensure Sniper: Ghost Warrior 3 runs smoothly on all platforms, and right now we still have some important work left on optimising the game,” he said. “This is our biggest project we’ve ever worked on and the entire team is pushing really hard to make the entire experience more polished. I really hope everyone will understand our decision and will wait the extra time to play something we’re excited about, and that will redefine our IP and the sniping genre as a whole. This is a new beginning for the Sniper: Ghost Warrior franchise.” Sniper: Ghost Warrior 3 will now be releasing 4 April 2017. Are you disappointed by the delay? Comment below or share your thoughts with us over in the forums. Gun Media and IllFonic are adding a single player campaign and AI bots for offline play, after being flooded with requests from fans. Also announced was the addition of Tommy Jarvis as a playable character and a new map, Packanack Lodge. You can find the schedule below. Those who have already backed the game, or pre-ordered, will receive the single player modes for free. For everyone else, the price of the digital edition will be increasing from $30 to $40 (or equivalent). Physical copies will be staying at $60.
A beta is still planned for later this year and anyone who has backed the project on Kickstarter will receive a beta key earlier than anyone else, along with four more to give out to friends. All pre-orders that have been made to date, and any that are made from now until the start date, will also receive five beta keys. Are you saddened about the delay? Looking forward to the single player modes? Let us know in the forums or comment below. The lack of a traditional single player campaign was one of the biggest criticisms levelled at the original Titanfall, but Titanfall 2’s solo experience looks like it could be something special, if the new video released by Respawn is anything to go by. Titanfall 2 releases 28 October on Xbox One, PlayStation 4 and PC.
