• The Sinking City 2 Salt Storage code

  27-08-2026 13:59 via gamesradar.com
  
  The Sinking City 2 salt storage code opens a strange lock in the Fish Market once you work out what the roman numerals mean, as well as how they tie into a 16 Punishments of the Sailor note you can find. The solution is not that hard once you have all the pieces in front of you, but it is one of the slightly tricker puzzles thanks to the numbering system and a long list you need to work though to decode it all. Here's what I did and how I solved it so you can get in. It's worth doing too as ther

  27-08-2026 13:49 via gamesradar.com
  
  A Metal Gear Speedrunner has discovered that the higher framerate in Metal Gear Solid Master Collection Vol 2 has made one of the series ' most iconic boss fights a cakewalk. Sure, it's almost 20 years old, but Metal Gear Solid 4 spoilers ahead for anyone about to experience it for the first time through the Master Collection.

• Vision knows that Wanda is dead during VisionQuest as he's "watched all the [Marvel] movies"

  27-08-2026 13:43 via gamesradar.com
  
  Vision knows Wanda's fate, VisionQuest showrunner Terry Matalas has revealed. The version of Vision returning in the new show is White Vision, who has Vision's memories but is a new version of the synthezoid created during WandaVision. Wanda, meanwhile, seemingly died in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness – and, since Vision hasn't been seen since the WandaVision finale, it was reasonable to assume he might not know what happened to her. As it turns out, though, Vision knows, as r

• Street Fighter director says he didn't want to make an "off-the-shelf" video game movie: "I was brought on to make something that didn't feel conventional"

  27-08-2026 13:43 via gamesradar.com
  
  Street Fighter has a patchy history on the big screen, to say the least, but the latest adaptation is doing things a little differently, according to director Kitao Sakurai.If the irreverent Street Fighter trailer and the movie's wild casting choices are any indication, it's a film that isn't taking itself too seriously, and that's by design. "Everybody wanted to get behind creating a movie that had a very distinct tone and approach, that didn't feel like an off-the-shelf video-game movie," Saku

  Former President of PlayStation Studios, Shuhei Yoshida, has praised Microsoft's recently announced disc-to-digital program, writing that it is a "great move by team Xbox."The former executive posted his opinion on the program on X with no other commentary, but it's a notable remark given how much of Yoshida's career was spent at Xbox's main competitor. That's especially true when you consider the differences in approach Microsoft and Sony seem to be taking as we march towards an all-digital fut

  Just days after US marketing revealed Andrew Garfield’s upcoming historical drama The Uprising as a Robin Hood movie, its UK distributor has denied any connection. Earlier this week, Focus Features started to share promotional material for The Uprising with the byline 'Witness the Rise of Robin Hood, ' seemingly out of the blue. This took everyone by surprise as the movie has not revealed any connection with the outlaw thus far. In fact, the film is actually set during the Peasants’

• Nodusfall isn't a gacha game, Mihoyo confirms, because unlike Genshin Impact you'll unlock characters "through continued play" instead

  27-08-2026 13:14 via gamesradar.com
  
  The next miHoYo joint was revealed as part of Gamescom 2026's Opening Night Live, and it's a bit different from Genshin Impact and Zenless Zone Zero. Rather than being all cutesy and anime, it's more gritty fantasy, but it's not just the visuals that are different - gacha mechanics aren't as prominent either.The game is called Nodusfall, and it's essentially the HoYoverse's answer to Monster Hunter, emphasizing big encounters you can tackle solo or in a group.

• Final Fantasy 7 Revelation is heading for a more mature rating than Remake and Rebirth, and I'm willing to bet Cid's ceaseless swearing has something to do with it

  27-08-2026 13:12 via gamesradar.com
  
  Final Fantasy 7 Revelation is expected to be slapped with an M for Mature age rating by the time it comes out next year, unlike FF7 Remake and Rebirth's slightly more tame ratings - and I'm guessing the inclusion of the bad-mouthed chain-smoker Cid as a permanent party member has something to do with it. Final Fantasy 7 Remake and Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth both launched with T for Teen ESRB ratings. Neither game had anything too frisky aside from the occasional swear word or very rare sight of a k

• Double Fine made Brutal Legend free for a fitting 666 minutes in tribute to Tim Curry, who played the game's antagonist

  27-08-2026 13:10 via gamesradar.com
  
  In honor of Tim Curry, Double Fine made its heavy metal hack-and-slash RTS Brutal Legend free for 666 minutes. While he's best known for his live-action roles in films like The Rocky Horror Picture Show and It, Tim Curry – who sadly passed away earlier this week at the age of 80 – was a prolific voice actor. And while his role in the likes of Jimmy Neutron and The Wild Thornberrys are naturally beloved, his relatively fewer video game roles are iconic in their own right. Of course, h

• How to beat the How to Fish Tuna

  27-08-2026 12:49 via gamesradar.com
  
  Catching and killing the How to Fish Tuna can be tricky as, despite only being a miniboss, it's a particularly furious fish. The Tuna is massive, can bounce and leap very high, and hits like a truck, so you need to take care when fighting one, especially since the lure required to catch it is rather expensive too, so you don't want to waste them. But you need to kill a Tuna every time you want to fight the final boss of island 4, so it's good to know the best way to defeat one in How to Fish, wh

  Secretlab has just released its latest Titan Evo special edition, and its first partnership with Marvel. The Spider-Man variant of one of the best gaming chairs comes decked in out in Peter Parker's red suit, but this isn't a bold eyesore. That marled design and darker red keep things slightly more muted than most Spider-Man merch on the shelves right now. Take a closer look at the flanks of the backrest, and you'll spot Venom's tendrils creeping towards the center as well. Secretlab has a long

• LG just unleashed the "world's first" native 1,000Hz gaming monitor, but I want to see what players can actually do at those speeds

  27-08-2026 12:13 via gamesradar.com
  
  Yes, there's now an LG UltraGear monitor that natively hits 1,000Hz at 1080p. No, I've no idea who would need a screen that can hit those speeds, but I absolutely want to see someone who would embrace that refresh rate decimate something in a competitive shooter. Coming in at $999.99, the 25-inch LG UltraGear 25G590B isn't that pricey given it's the "world's first" 1,000Hz gaming monitor with native abilities. I'm used to seeing higher tags slapped on anything that achieves any sort of accolades

  I'd like to imagine the folks at Dazed Games, the indie studio behind viral friendslop sensation How to Fish, are kicking back with a cooler full of brewskies, angling for salmon in a crystal clear alpine lake in Sweden where they're based.
