Something for the Weekend – 24/08/24
thesixthaxis.comIt’s always nice to have a long weekend at the end of August, and after the long trip back from Gamescom, it’s very much needed… but there’s little rest for the wicked, so brace yourselves for a flurry of previews, interviews and features from things that Dom and I managed to see at the show.
Naturally Gamescom spawned a metric ton of news, so let’s dive right in for the biggest announcements, with trailers down the page.
Just the one review this week, as Miguel got behind the bar:
Tavern Talk – PC, NSW – 7/10
For Gamescom, I got to take in some more of MachineGames’ mixed first person take on Indiana Jones and the Great Circle, before sharing my hands on impression for Kingdom Come: Deliverance II, and speaking to Warhorse figurehead Tobi.
Dom, meanwhile, rampaged through the countryside with the newly announced Drive Rally, which rally fans should definitely check out.
I also previewed the demo of Emio – The Smiling Man: Famicom Detective Club, and the non-VR version of C-Smash VRS: New Dimension. And with Black Myth: Wukong on many people’s playlists, Aran revisited Enslaved: Odyssey to the West and a previous telling of this story.
Rounding things out as always, What We Played featured Star Wars Outlaws, Concord & everything we saw at Gamescom!
Dying Light: The Beast brings back a fan favourite character
