  Alien Deathstorm is a brand-new action-horror-shooter game from Rebellion. Following the gameplay trailer's reveal at Gamescom, GameSpot was able to go hands-on, and it definitely has a retro feel with interesting-looking mechanics tied to the titular deathstorm that I wish we saw more of in the demo.Alien Deathstorm puts players in the boots of a combat engineer, who becomes stranded on an devastated off-world colony.

• A second Iron Man game has leaked this week, this time with EA Motive's take on the Marvel hero surfacing after 4 years

  28-08-2026 16:42 via gamesradar.com
  
  A blatantly unfinished trailer for EA Motive's Iron Man game has seemingly popped up online, days after footage from Avalanche's canceled Iron Man game also leaked. Tony Stark's got pretty bad cybersecurity for a billionaire genius, I guess.EA Motive (the studio behind the Dead Space remake) first announced its collaboration with Marvel Games in 2022. Not much was known at the time aside from the fact that EA's Iron Man would be a third-person, single-player action-adventure game and tell an ori

• 13 years after famous Microsoft dunk, ex-PlayStation boss Shuhei Yoshida says Xbox disc-to-digital feature is "a great move"

  28-08-2026 16:33 via gamesradar.com
  
  Former PlayStation boss Shuhei Yoshida has praised the new Xbox disc-to-digital initiative, with many pointing out the irony of his classic PS4 game sharing video following Sony's decision to drop physical games. Earlier this week, Microsoft announced that physical Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S discs will soon be able to be transferred to digital games. This comes around a month after Sony confirmed it will stop producing physical games in 2028 for the PS5 and any future PlayStation console. That

• Brands keep promising sim racing ecosystems, but Nacon is one of the few starting to follow through

  Can we ban brands from using the word “ecosystem” when they announce new sim racing gear, please? At least until they can be trusted to use it responsibly. I’ve played with a fair few of the best racing wheels for PC, and it feels as though every time new gear comes along it’s with the promise of an expanding range of extras and add-ons “in the future”. “Start with the basics and expand over time as your racing habits evolve and your wallet recovers,&rdq

  New set leak videos from The Batman 2 have arrived... and the hype for the upcoming sequel just tripled in size (for me, anyway).The videos, which can be viewed below, show three different angles of the Gotham City PD chasing the Batmobile via swarm of squad cars. They manage to box him in, but Batman escapes by accelerating and ramming into one of the cars before speeding off. The coolest angle is definitely the one from above, which really gives a heightened sense of realism and, to quote the

• No, That Video Is Not An Accurate Representation Of Fable’s Combat

  28-08-2026 16:20 via gamespot.com
  
  During Gamescom week, the Playground Games team working on Fable released a video showing off the game's combat. That video received a fair amount of backlash online, due to a boss appearing not to react to incoming attacks at all. Having played Fable myself now, and taking part in plenty of fights against both normal mob enemies and a boss, I think it's safe to say that the published video doesn't reflect my experience of Fable's combat.During my time with Fable at Gamescom, I played with two d

It's a hot-button issue, and few companies have faced the level of criticism about it as Saber has. The developer recently found itself in hot water after CEO Matthew Karch lashed out at Rideshare Stimulator's former writer who said they were laid off and replaced by ChatGPT.
