Something for the Weekend – 11/05/24

If you’re a fan of motorsports, this weekend is a great time to see if the World Endurance Championship is for you. It’s the 6hrs of Spa today – starting at midday in the UK – with a now bustling field of Hypercar teams having to weave through the GT3 class competitors, and this iconic track will act as a prelude to the 24hrs Le Mans next month. I love seeing all these cars going flat out for hours at a time, the contrasting strategy calls and reactions to incidents.

The world of video games has been shaken by another surprise heel turn by Microsoft this week, so let’s see what the headlines have been.

It was almost exclusively lucky numbers in our reviews for the week.

With the closure of Tango Gameworks and Arkane Austine, I asked Xbox, do you even have a plan anymore?The entire business seems to be in flux after a string of twists and shocks over the past six months.

I joined Nick for a dive into Killer Klowns from Outer Space, but let him take the lead on sharing our thoughts on this latest 80s film turned asymmetrical horror game. IllFonic know what they’re doing, and this looks a fun twist on the genre.

And Jim delved into the STALKER: Legends of the Zone Trilogy on console, which isn’t truly console native, but has plenty compelling reasons to explore ahead of the sequel later this year.

Rounding things out as always, What We Played featured Fallout 4, Homeworld 3 & Killer Klowns

F1 24 third deep-dive trailer is all about tracks and drivers

Hades II early access is available now on Steam and Epic Games

Hellblade 2 Psychosis featurette released

Here’s what you in our community have been up to this week:

That’s the round up for this week. We’ll be back next week for more gaming news and more. See you then!

Helldivers 2 Players Aren't Happy With The Polar Patriots Warbond
It can be difficult for developers to maintain live service titles these days, with fans expecting more and more content each month to avoid the risk of being labeled a "dead game." Helldivers 2 developer Arrowhead has been treading that particular tightrope rather well since launch, delivering new armor, weapons, and emotes via the Premium Warbonds system that has been serving them well up until now.

Fallout: New Vegas Fan Works Out How Far The Courier Walked
From the very start of Fallout: New Vegas, the titular city is dangled in front of you. However, while you look close enough to Vegas on the world map, heading there right away will only result in your death. Instead, you're expected to take the long way around - and one fan has worked out exactly how long that road is.

Health Increase for World Bosses and Monsters Level +100 in Diablo 4 Season 4
The most recent Developer Livestream brought discussion on changes to monster health and difficulty. Going forward, World Bosses in World Tiers 3 and 4 won't be as easy as seasons prior. It seems that the days of World Bosses being deleted in a handful of seconds will be over with the arrival of Season 4 (looking at you, Hurricane Druids).

Helldivers 2 only became a live-service game halfway through development, but 'feels like what live service was born to do'
Russ Nickel, former lead writer of Helldivers 2, was recently interviewed by Inverse, where he explained that developers Arrowhead didn't decide it was going to be a service game until well after beginning work on it. Its popularity sure suggests it was the right call to make. «This feels like what live service was born to do», Nickel said. «For a while, Arrowhead didn't know if the sequel was going to be a live-service title. But as we talked about it more, it was clear that this would make for such a cool live service experience, one where the story can change constantly so it really does feel alive.»

Sea of Thieves alliances guide: how to join and benefits
There are ways in which you could play as a solo pirate in Sea of Thieves, but adventuring is so much more fun and rewarding when you’re part of a crew. Once you’ve gotten a handle on how to play the game, taking on voyages and attacking other players with fellow pirates is where the real fun begins. Alliances make it much easier to coordinate and team up with your fellow scallywags, but how you form them and all the benefits they can provide are somewhat obfuscated. It isn’t as simple as joining a party through a menu like in other games, so follow our treasure map to learn all about how alliances work in Sea of Thieves.

Instruments Of Destruction, from one of Red Faction Guerilla's demolition tech wizards, is out in 1.0 now
Instruments Of Destruction goes to the trouble of having a voiceover offer a preamble to each of its missions, but I don't need it. Its launch trailer knows I don't need it, as its own voiceover makes clear: "Take this vehicle, destroy those buildings. Do I really need to explain why?"

Ghost Of Tsushima Director's Cut no longer available on Steam in almost 180 countries due to PSN requirement
Samurai action-adventure Ghost Of Tsushima Director's Cut is due to launch on PC this coming Thursday, May 16th - but it'll be available on Steam in nearly 180 fewer countries than expected. That's because its online features will require players to sign-in to a PSN account, and PSN accounts are not available in those countries. This is effectively the same issue that recently enraged Helldivers 2 players.

Warner Bros. are returning some Adult Swim-published Steam store pages to their developers after all
Warner Bros., owners of the now-defunct Adult Swim Games publishing label, have contacted some developers about returning ownership of their game's Steam pages. The developers of both Small Radios Big Televisions and Duck Game shared the news on X yesterday.
