Something for the Weekend – 23/11/24
thesixthaxis.comHands up if you had snow overnight? Well lucky you, because while I still have a chill in the air in my neck of the woods, it’s merely accompanied by wind and some rain. My cat is thoroughly unimpressed by this and he can’t keep himself entertained with playing Flight Simulator, STALKER 2 or GT7 this weekend.
OK, maybe he’ll watch…
This week saw the culmination of one monumental effort by GSC Game Worlds to bring their game to release, despite everything that’s happening to their homeland. Thankfully, even with plenty of hinky bugs and issues, STALKER 2 is a rousing success.
We also had a pair of hardware reviews, with one thing that goes on your head and another thing that all your gaming things can go on.
Elsewhere, Dom got to go hands on with Dynasty Warriors: Origins and had a fabulous time with it – make sure to check out that new demo! – and Jason found Beastieball to be a wonderful mix of Haikyuu and Pokémon.
Aran went back a decade to his PS Vita to play Tearaway, while Dom then looked even further back to the 1990s for more upgrade fodder that Square Enix could apply their lovely HD-2D effect to. Here’s five HD-2D remakes we really want to see.
Rounding things out as always, What We Played featured Dynasty Warriors: Origins, Tearaway & STALKER 2
