Top News This Week
- This week has been filled with news about Bobby Kotick and his alleged misdoings. Activision employees are calling for his resignation, Playstation has criticized Activision, and Xbox is reconsidering their relationship with Activision on the whole.
- Saints Row has had it’s release date shifted to August 23rd, likely so as not to conflict with Elden Ring but people are hoping it’s to address some of the issues that seem to be plaguing the game. Speaking of release dates, Minecraft Caves and Cliffs Part 2 will be arriving November 30th.
- Halo Infinite has a Multiplayer Beta currently ongoing for PC and Xbox, although it seems the plan is to keep Multiplayer Free To Play while charging for the campaign. I could see the F2P aspect bringing a lot of potential players in.
- Looks like Phil Spencer wants the industry to start preserving titles rather than letting them fall into obscurity. Could we see sanctioned emulation?
New Release Highlights – November 21st – 27th
Simulator week.
Farming Simulator 22 – PC/PS4/PS5/XONE/XSX/Stadia – November 22nd
I GUESS? These come out every year so they MUST do well enough. They even make controllers for this game…
Deeeer Simulator – PS4/Switch/XONE – November 25th
This is one of those goofy simulator titles similar to Goat Simulator. Could be fun if you just want to run around and cause chaos.
What has Christian been playing this week?
Halo Infinite
This is genuinely one of the best Halo Multiplayer experiences I’ve had in a while. The weapons all feel great, the gameplay is nice and smooth, and the suit powers all feel like good additions. It runs easily enough on older cards (provided it’s no less than a 1050 it seems). I’d recommend giving this a shot, especially with a few friends.
American Truck Simulator
Believe it or not it happened again. American Truck Simulator actually has nicer landscapes than Euro Truck Simulator if you can believe it. This is only a title that I’d recommend on sale honestly and if you’re looking for something relaxing. Also, you can add your own radio streams into the game, so I bet you’ll never guess which one I added.
