Layers of Fear giveaway15/10/2018 
Continuing to offer All Hallows’ Eve-appropriate entertainment, this week our giveaway gets psychological with Layers of Fear.
 Rico Rodriguez has spent his last few years toppling dictators around the world for the Agency, but his latest mission is a personal one.
The 1024 square kilometre island is home to four distinct biomes, including rainforests, deserts, snowy mountains and bustling cities, in which violent tornadoes and tropical lightning storms are a part of everyday life for the natives.
Rico soon makes friends with Mira and her army of freedom fighters, leading them in the battle against the Black Hand. Just Cause 4 launches 4 December on Xbox One, PS4 and PC. 24-hour early access, a Prototype Wingsuit and a Stealth Micro Jet are available to those who pre-order one of the special editions, details of which can be found at the official website. Are you looking forward to exploring Solís? Let us know below or over in the forums.  Warhorse Studios have revealed the release date for their latest batch of Kingdom Come: Deliverance DLC.
Alternatively, those who prefer the clash of steel to mushy poems can take part in the newly added Rattay Combat Tournament, with “unique armour parts” up for grabs for players who emerge victorious.
The Amorous Adventures of Bold Sir Hans Capon is available to purchase digitally from 16 October on PC, Xbox One and PS4. Let us know your thoughts on the upcoming DLC below or in the forums.  Microsoft could be on the verge of purchasing Fallout: New Vegas, Pillars of Eternity and South Park: The Stick of Truth developer, Obsidian Entertainment, according to recent reports.
A Microsoft spokesperson said the company does not comment on speculation, while Obsidian at least took a lighter approach to the news, stating: “Unfortunately, we don’t comment on rumours or speculation other than to say that the Rumours album by Fleetwood Mac still holds up.”
If the deal goes through, it would be the fifth studio this year Microsoft have purchased, following the acquisitions of Ninja Theory (Hellblade: Senua’s Sacrifice) Playground Games (Forza Horizon series) Undead Labs (State of Decay 2) and Compulsion (We Happy Few). A Kotaku source close to Microsoft is reporting that the company is looking to reinvigorate its PC development, and that Obsidian would be a “perfect fit” for such a task. What do you think of the rumours? Is this a good deal for both parties? Let us know your thoughts below.  2K and Gearbox Software today announced that Borderlands 2 will be getting the virtual reality treatment and landing on PS VR as a single player adventure just before the year is out.
The four playable classes – Siren, Commando, Gunzerker and Assassin – each have unique combat styles and updated skills that make use of VR functionality and there are new features planned, including Bad Ass Mega Fun Time, which allows you to slow down time in order to line up the perfect headshot. The menus have been updated to accommodate the use of motion controllers and a headset, providing a "new and intuitive way" to manage your inventory.
There are two movement styles to choose from, the classic system you'll no doubt be familiar with, or pointed teleportation which has became popular in other VR titles. For the first time in the series, players will be able to drive around in first-person perspective, steering with the joystick and aiming weapons with their headset. Borderlands 2 VR launches 14 December and those who pre-order will receive a dynamic PlayStation theme featuring the game's four vault hunters.

Rumours have been circling today suggesting Nintendo are planning to release a new iteration of their hybrid console sometime next year.
Naturally, with no official confirmation from Nintendo themselves, this is all rumour and speculation for now.
Given the company’s history of releasing revised editions of their consoles – particularly handhelds – it’s certainly a possibility, however. We even came up with a few changes we’d like to see in any future redesign. What changes would you like to see made to the Switch, if any? Let us know below.  Fat Dog Games and Solid9 Studio have revealed the Switch launch date for the fantasy RPG Exorder with a new trailer, and shared the news that Switch owners will be able to go head-to-head with PC players.
There are over 10 distinct battle units to command, each with their own skills, and a total of 8 skirmish maps.
“Through Exorder’s development, it was always important to us that it felt like a rewarding experience to our players, regardless of platform, location or time invested,” said Darek Skrzypkowski, CEO, Fat Dog Games. “That’s why we made sure to tear down those common multiplayer barriers to make combat easy and enjoyable for newcomers and veterans alike." Exorder his Nintendo Switch on 16 October and can be yours for $12.99 (or regional equivalent). Let us know if you plan on picking this up below or over in the forums.  Blowfish Studios are publishing the debut title from Mistfly Games, Subdivision Infinity DX, a "pulse-pounding sci-fi 3D space shooter," planned for release on Xbox One, PS4, Switch, and Steam in 2019.
There are over 40 campaign missions and side quests spanning several different star systems with dogfights and boss battles.
Along with the core narrative, Subdivision Infinity features optional content that players can engage in as they explore, such as taking on bounties, mining asteroids for rare minerals, unlocking new ships, and crafting powerful upgrades. “Exploring outer space in Subdivision Infinity DX is an absolute blast,” said Ben Lee, founder, Blowfish Studios. “We look forward to allowing players to live out their sci-fi fantasies in the game when it launches for PC and consoles early next year.” What do you think of the trailer? Let us know below or over in the forums. |
