Amnesia: Rebirth drops later this month and we've got a new look at what's to come with five glorious minutes of gameplay action showing off puzzles, terror, and how this franchise is taking a page from Soma's book.
Frictional Games is taking the Amnesia franchise to new heights with a 1930s tale dripping in intrigue and nightmares. This series has undergone several evolutions during its time, but Rebirth aims to offer a "fresh" experience for a beloved horror journey. Check out the latest gameplay trailer below:
Click here to watch embedded mediaCreative Director Thomas Grip recently took to the PlayStation Blog to drop even more details about the upcoming game and how they are doing things a little differently. Sometimes, even more primatively.
According to Grip, their goal as horror curators is not necessarily to make the game more "fun" but to make it more immersive instead. The more this world feels real, the more the terror feels real, and the more impact a game in this genre will ultimately have.
The virual League of Legends K-pop group K/DA is releasing its first album later this year and if you've played their song that's on Beat Saber, you know it pretty much slaps.
Riot Games has confirmed that the virtual pop sensation is releasing their first EP, called All Out, on November 6. Following two silent years that was broken by a new single that dropped back in August, the digitalized singing group is back and ready to further the League of Legends brands in ways no one thought was possible.
K/DA first made their debut as a singing group back in 2018 during the League of Legends World Championship. Their unveiling was during an AR concert that featured both in-game champions and IRL pop sensations. The K/DA reception was brilliant, people really seemed to gravitate towards this idea, and then shortly after this idea took a two year break.
Now K/DA is back with a new EP and a new bandmate and it looks like this EP could be the start of a powerful year for the group.

Tony Hawk is back! And not in the THPS HD or THPS 5 way. It would be for the best if everyone forgot those games ever existed. Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater returned to form this September with 1+2 and it’s arguably one of the best games in the franchise.
Today MiHoYo released a brand new trailer of its popular action-RPG Genshin Impact.
The trailer focuses on one of the characters available in the game, the dapper Diluc.
You can check him out in action below.
“As the wealthiest gentleman in Mondstadt, the ever-dapper Diluc always presents himself as the epitome of perfection. But behind the courteous visage burns a zealous soul that has sworn to protect Mondstadt at all costs, allowing him to mercilessly vanquish all who threaten his city. “
Update, 4:20 p.m.: Bloodborne was quickly re-listed at its MSRP, $20. We’ve reached out to Sony for clarification. Original story follows:
Where there's a will, there's a way. The heart wants what the heart wants. If you want something done right, you have to do it yourself.
Those vague expressions could apply to many things, but right now they apply to Warhawk. Sony took the Warhawk servers offline in January 2019. However, game preservation group PlayStation Online Network Emulated got it back up and running recently. You can play Warhawk on your PS3 today if you want.

Developer Asobo has now opened sign-ups for its forthcoming Microsoft Flight Simulator VR closed beta, which is expected to begin toward the end of this month or early November, and will initially be open to those with a Windows Mixed Reality headset.
Speaking in Asobo's latest community focussed livestream, head of Microsoft Flight Simulator Jorg Neumann explained the developer has been working on VR support for the game - which he describes as "the single most immersive experience I've ever had" - for over a year now.
It's now at a stage where it's ready for closer scrutiny, and that's where Asobo's upcoming VR closed beta comes in. Players interested in helping the developer test its VR builds can head to the Flight Simulator website and start the sign-up process. They'll need a Windows Mixed Reality headset (such as the upcoming HP Reverb G2), must have a PC that meets the minimum specifications, and must be a registered Microsoft Flight Simulator Insider member.

We've all done the song and dance of starting up a big, open-world game: First you power on your console, then select the game, sit through the screens of logos, select your save file, then pick up your phone and scroll through social media while you wait for the game to load. When our Xbox Series X arrived this week, I wanted to put the system through its paces; both Xbox and PlayStation have touted the blistering speeds at which you can load your games on these new systems, thanks in large part to the solid-state drives that have become the next-gen standard. I knew this was one of the major selling points of the system, but even as someone who is well aware of the value of an SSD (I essentially changed the face of my gaming PC by adding one), I was still shocked at how much the Xbox Series X improves the experience of playing my Xbox One library.

A new graphical setting for reducing GPU load during giant space battles will remove all that pretty outer space from your view, captain, leaving only the interface full of numbers and letters.
While the month of September was a bit light for first-party Nintendo Switch titles, October tells a different story when it comes to new Switch games.
Not only are there literally dozens of indies releasing this month on the eShop, Nintendo has three pretty big titles coming out that are sure to appeal to Switch owners. There’s a new new Mario Kart AR title, a Pikmin 3 port, and a Pokemon Sword and Shield expansion.
Below you will find the list of all new Switch games releasing in October and if you keep scrolling, we have a bit more info on the more notable releases.
The past few years have made us all pretty numb to the depths of human depravity, but large swathes of people still remain shocked that anyone would dare cheat at a party game. First, it was Fall Guys. Now it’s the even less win/lose-focused Among Us.
If you’re not already playing old-school video games with your kid, I’m here to tell you it’s time to start. It’s great for family togetherness and it’s fun to be able to beat your kid at something.

Most everything in Spelunky 2 is out to kill you, so it’s always nice to come across Yang, a random NPC who mostly just chills in a little hut and talks about turkeys. But as my explorations continue to improve, so too has my knowledge of Yang’s racket, and I’m disappointed by what I’ve discovered.

Microsoft Flight Simulator doesn't have VR support yet, but that's where you – or at least someone like you, who owns the right headset – come in. Asobo Studio is getting ready to run a VR closed beta.
You can run down the full requirements and sign-up over here if you qualify, but the important thing to note is that the first phase of the beta will be limited to Windows Mixed Reality, while the second phase will open up to encompass "additional headsets." Asobo says it will "only allow a select group of testers at any given time," so having the right setup and expressing interest won't guarantee that you'll get in.
It could be a while before we see footage of VR up and running in Microsoft Flight Simulator given that beta access comes with a non-disclosure agreement, but I'm expecting eventual greatness. This game has a bright future ahead of it – years upon years of content updates – and VR will push it even higher.
I look forward to maybe one day owning powerful enough hardware that can make the most of it.
October 1st, 2020 Development Update [Microsoft Flight Simulator]
Borderlands 3 has millions of guns and that often feels like a moot point. There are so many firearms but the vast majority just stay on the ground, as they're far worse than what you're already packing. Borderlands 3's newest game mode wants every gun to play a role.
In an interview with GameSpot, Gearbox shared a few early details about this dedicated mode that's called Arms Race. Creative director Graeme Timmins said "Our goal with Arms Race is to make the gun game in our game of millions of guns really matter." That nearly guarantees a gameplay loop that will feel unique to what Borderlands 3's core offers.
Arms Race will also take place on its own isolated map, and it'll serve as a standalone mode. While Gearbox stopped short of calling it a battle royale, Gearbox head Randy Pitchford described it as something that will appeal to fans of Call of Duty and battle royale games, but explicitly stated that it's "not a battle royale."
The full reveal of Arms Race is expected to take place sometime in October. Gearbox seemingly intends to hit the ground running with this one. During the recent Gearbox PAX panel (where free next-gen upgrades were confirmed), this new game mode was described as something that's coming "later [in 2020]." Borderlands 3 players should be thrust into an Arms Race before the year's out.

Usually when something's delisted, it's generally bad news. This might be the rare exception to that rule.
Nintendo is delisting Pikmin Short Movies on October 8. It has been available on the 3DS and Wii U eShop following its debut at the Tokyo International Film Festival in 2014. That doesn't mean Pikmin Short Movies is lost to the ether, though. Nintendo plans to upload the film to its YouTube channel shortly after the delisting.
In case you're not familiar -- and I wouldn't blame you because I forgot all about this -- here's the synopsis that Jordan wrote in 2014: "Pikmin Short Movies, is made up of three episodes: 'The Night Juicer,' in which Captain Olimar makes his favorite juice; 'Treasures in a Bottle,' in which Pikmin meet a strange treasure; 'Occupational Hazards,' a big adventure at a construction site." If that doesn't sell you, it's worth noting that Shigeru Miyamoto was attached as a producer.
Pikmin Short Movies disappears from the eShop on October 8. Usually, this is the part where we'd say "Last chance to buy it or miss out forever!" Not this time, though. This time, it's "Last chance to needlessly drop $5 before it's free and you can watch it on any of your devices!" Sometimes, rarely but sometimes, a delisting works out.
