Kotaku Saturday, December 4, 2021 5:50 PM  After months of speculation and a sly Instagram tease, Dwayne Johnson is revealed as the voice of The Foundation in the dramatic conclusion to Fortnite chapter two. Watch The Rock turn the entire island upside-down, literally. |
Kotaku Saturday, December 4, 2021 4:15 PM  Grimes released a new song off her upcoming album Book 1. The track is titled "Player of Games" and appears to be a not-so-subtle song about the musician's four-year relationship and recent break up with 50-year-old Tesla CEO and internet troll Elon Musk. |
PCGamesN Saturday, December 4, 2021 5:56 PM  Fortnite Chapter 3 launches in just a few days and now we have a good idea of what it'll look like. A leaked Fortnite Chapter 3 Battle Pass trailer has hit the internet, revealing some major map changes, modes, skins - and at least two major crossovers for Marvel's Spider-Man and Gears of War. The whole of the year-long Fortnite Chapter 2 comes to a crashing conclusion tonight with a big ending event cunningly titled "The End", after which Epic Games will presumably debut the first details and trailer for Chapter 3 - which launches on December 6. Despite Epic asking the community not to leak any Chapter 3 info - and then proceeding to accidentally leak part of the trailer itself in a TikTok ad - the full Battle Pass trailer for Fortnite Chapter 3 Season 1 has completely leaked online ahead of The End event. The trailer reveals massive changes coming to the game, including a completely revised map, new locations, new skins, a racecourse, a giant statue of Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson's character The Foundation, and at least two major collabs.

Rock Paper Shotgun Latest Articles Feed Saturday, December 4, 2021 5:31 PM  A side effect of fatherhood is that I now see everything through my five-year-old's eyes. Hot Wheels Unleashed is, to me, most likely a middling racing game and lesser Trackmania - but then, if I think about it, I know my kid would love it. Hot Wheels Unleashed's Batman expansion, featuring a handful of cars and a Batcave? To me, meaningless licensed tie-in. But my kid... My kid must never know this exists. |
Rock Paper Shotgun Latest Articles Feed Saturday, December 4, 2021 4:43 PM  It feels at times as if, over a long enough timeline, all first-person shooters trend towards becoming the same game by cribbing modes from one another. Case in point: Quake now has a horde mode. It comes as part of a new update for Quake Remastered, Bethesda's recent spit-and-polish of the classic 3D shooter. The horde mode is made by MachineGames for 1-4 players - and the update also includes a new (or "new") singleplayer add-on. |
Rock Paper Shotgun Latest Articles Feed Saturday, December 4, 2021 4:26 PM  Despite being a Forza Horizon 4 mega fan and having played it three times, I've yet to dig into Forza Horizon 5. I'm relishing the experience of still having it to play, like keeping a big chocolate bar on a high shelf in case of an emergency. When I do decide to head down Mexico way, I'll get a better experience for having waited. Playground Games' second patch for the game went live this week, bringing tons of fixes. |
Rock Paper Shotgun Latest Articles Feed Saturday, December 4, 2021 4:10 PM  'Tis the season of charity bundles, in which developers urge you to perform the generous act of giving their videogames a new home in exchange for a fraction of their true value.

Our Tower of Zot guide is here to help out those of you who pre-ordered Final Fantasy XIV: Endwalker and are currently playing through early access. And, judging by the queues and the occasional server blips, that's most of you. So! With Endwalker we've got a whole load of new dungeons and trials, but this level 81 love letter to Final Fantasy IV is the first one you'll battle through… after battling through a few hours of cutscenes and conversations. I'm going to try to keep these guides relatively spoiler-free as we go on, but obviously that's not the easiest thing to do. In this guide at least, you'll read about the dungeon name, the boss names (and their attacks), and see a bunch of screenshots. Nothing more, nothing less. And that's probably for the best, because there's quite a lot else to talk about. While the Tower of Zot is the first dungeon and it seems to have been tuned down a bit since the press event, it̵... 
Icarus is now live. If you check its store page, you might notice a purchasable DLC called the Supporter's Edition. In a way, it acts as an expansion pass with a couple of goodies. Here's our Icarus mini-guide to help you obtain the First Cohort Envirosuit from the Supporter's Edition. Note: We'll have an Icarus guides and features hub soon, so stay tuned. Icarus guide: How to get the First Cohort Envirosuit from the Supporter's Edition As mentioned, the Icarus Supporter's Edition DLC is also an expansion pass. It'll give you access to New Frontiers and Dangerous Horizons, two episodes that will be made available in the future. Likewise, you'll be able to try two additional Outposts, the forest and arctic biomes, which are sandbox environments that don't have a session timer/permadeath mechanic. However, one thing that might help you out is the First Cohort Envirosuit. It has an extra module slot, an extra oxygen slot, an ... 
No, I'm serious. This isn't a trick to the level you'd see in The Stanley Parable: Ultra Deluxe; the story-based games comprised of choices and decisions has a new release date of early 2022. Allegedly, anyway, this expanded version of The Stanley Parable was announced all the way back in 2018. During that year's The Game Awards, the expanded game would get a release date of 2019. But then it was pushed to 2020, which also didn't really happen. Many fans have probably asked the question: where exactly did The Stanley Parable: Ultra Deluxe game go, and what's the true release date? Well, a new trailer by the developers seeks to answer that question, with a little bit of self-deprecation to help appease the fans. In the video, it states: "What does it mean to be a videogame developer? It means lying, boldly and brazenly to your audience, promising them release dates that are wildly outside the realm of reality." It's finally... 
Icarus offers a wide, expansive world filled with dazzling environments. Naturally, you might want to capture some memorable moments. Here's our Icarus mini-guide to help you with Photo Mode, disabling the HUD, and finding your screenshot folder. Note: We'll have an Icarus guides and features hub soon, so stay tuned. Icarus guide: Photo Mode and screenshots Photo Mode Yes, Icarus does have its own Photo Mode, though there's one notable caveat. Since this is a session-based survival game, there's always a timer running in the background with only your character's animation getting locked. As such, if your character is running when you activate Photo Mode, they'd still have that animation (i.e., running in place), while the animals around you continue to frolic. Photo Mode allows you to tweak several options, such as field of view, exposure, bloom, and various presets. You can also hold right-click to move the camera around and get the perfec... 
Icarus is a new survival game by Dean Hall (creator of DayZ) and RocketWerkz. Featuring session-based gameplay, you'll attempt to craft, build, and escape with your riches. Before you set off on an adventure, though, you'll need to know a few tidbits. Here's our Icarus guide to help you with Outposts, Prospects, Offline Mode, playing solo, and other concepts when you're just starting your game. Note: We'll have an Icarus guides and features hub soon, so stay tuned. Icarus beginner's guide: Outposts, Prospects, playing offline, and playing solo Play vs. Offline Icarus' main menu will show a couple of options: Play and Offline. The former refers to online play and the latter, naturally, is for offline play. The key difference here is how saves are handled. Online play progress is stored in RocketWerkz's servers. Conversely, playing offline means that your save is stored locally. Also, you won't be able to transfer your chara... 
As the new year approaches, a lot of us have a bit of extra time. Obviously, one of the best ways to fill these available hours is to play games. I'm not biased. You're a on a video game website. What did you think I was gonna talk about? Flag football? Here are two RPGs that have been around for quite some time but either have some noteworthy new content or are available to a whole new audience starting this week. Regardless, both RPGs are a great way to spend countless Holiday hours questing, exploring, and working on character builds. Grim Dawn Grim Dawn has been available on PC for almost six years, but received two expansions and a battle gauntlet mode to give players more of that great ARPG to sink their teeth into. This week, the number of people with access to the title gets even larger, as the Definitive Edition of the game launched on Xbox. This version comes complete with all of the game's DLC, so a lot of people are going to be experiencing the g...
