Yule love this new shooter

Editor Inspired by humanity’s robotic future in Disintegration, we’ve zipped ahead in time to see how the Integrated OXM team has been getting on. Turns out they’ve all started their own Crews. Chris heads up the ‘Rootin Tootin Cowboy Shooters’. He likes to pat his grav cycle and say, ‘Y’okay girrrl!’ just like Arthur Morgan. Merely the mention of Halo tends to get us a bit excited here at OXM, so the news that one of the co-creators of Xbox’s greatest ever FPS was working on a new sci-fi shooter meant we were always going to sit up and take note. Disintegration is a unique, strategic shooter with tons of style, as you’d expect from Marcus Lehto, the man who created Master Chief and had a hand in the origins of Bungie’s…

Yule love this new shooter

Adam Bryant Staff writer Adam’s brain got uploaded into his new body with his Resident Evil 2 save data. He now leads the ‘RPD Renegades’ and thinks everyone is a zombie. Warren Brown Senior art editor This Integrated renegade established the ‘Old School Cool’ Crew. You’ll likely spot them raiding museums and harvesting them for their retro gaming gear. Drew Sleep Production editor Not letting a robot body get in the way of his style choices, Drew still wears double denim in the future. He loves it so much he named his Crew the ‘Canadian Tuxedos’. Dave Meikleham Games editor Our shiny new Games Editor is the de facto leader of the ‘Meiky Blinders’. They’re the most dapperly dressed Crew that you’ll find on this barren Earth.…

Exciting times ahead for Xbox gamers, for sure. First off in Insider this month, we’ve got news of a way to get yourself an Xbox One X that you can then upgrade to Scarlett when it comes out in a year’s time! Xbox All Access is surely a great incentive to treat yourself to the world’s best console, the X, in the meantime – find out more on page 8! Fortnite continues to surprise and impress. After everyone thought the whole thing had literally disappeared up its own, well, servers, Epic unveiled Chapter Two with a brand-new island and more besides. We take a tour of ‘Fortnite 2.0’ on page 10 this month. Then we report from our time using xCloud streaming which was released on beta to the general…

THINK OUTSIDE THE BOX When Project Scarlett hits shelves in holiday 2020, our credit cards will probably wince. Buying a brand-new console is never cheap, and with the insane amount of cutting-edge tech Microsoft is squeezing into its nextgen Xbox, Scarlett could retail for a sizeable sum. Don’t despair quite yet, though. You and your tattered change purse may have a more manageable way of upgrading to Scarlett. Enter Xbox All Access, the program previously launched for a limited time last year, letting you buy and pay off an Xbox One over a number of months. Back then, the service was exclusive to the US, but now it’s been rolled out and repackaged to also cater for UK and Australian Xbox fans. The headline news? Under the new scheme you can buy an…

Fortnite maps out its future

THE PROMISED LAND Talk about a brave new world. Epic’s free-to-play phenomenon Fortnite has ditched its original map and introduced a completely fresh island to celebrate the arrival of its second ‘Chapter’. The studio also closed the curtains on its first world with a cheeky sense of spectacle. This might be the first instance of a developer turning server maintenance into a bona fide event Xbox gamers could get excited about. Epic didn’t so much send Fortnite’s first Chapter out with a bang as it did a black hole. Literally. The first island was sucked into a rip in the space-time continuum, swallowed into an inky void that initially sent Fortnite fans into a panicked frenzy. Even the game’s Xbox Store icon was blacked out during the intergalactic maintenance period. Holed over With the…

Fortnite maps out its future

Elite unit The Xbox Elite Controller Series 2 is out now, with a rubberised grip and adjustable tension sticks that make our digits giddy. We’ll deliver our verdict on the pad next issue. Stream supreme Xbox Console Streaming is now available to Xbox Insiders. Unlike xCloud, this preview program uses your Xbox to stream games to your mobile device. Mixer it up Shroud, Twitch’s second biggest streamer, has moved to Mixer. That’s a hell of a signing. Out of touch Fallout 76’s new subscription service, Fallout 1st, is about as popular as a vegan deli serving Bambi burgers. Dog down Ubisoft has delayed Watch Dogs Legion and Rainbow Six Quarantine until its 20-21 fiscal year. At least Breakpoint is ace, right? Oh. No Russian Modern Warfare being review bombed for its depiction of Russia has given Activision a huge headache.…

Riding high on the xCloud

SILVER LINING In September Microsoft opened up registration for its Project xCloud beta. This was the first time the service, which aims to let you play any Xbox game, at any time, on any device over a Wi-Fi or mobile network, has been made available to the general public. Team OXM went hands-on with the streaming tech to see just how well the service copes in the wild. So far we’re impressed. The beta is only available on Android devices with an OS of version 6.0 or later, though the service will also run on Apple devices on full release. Using xCloud requires a Bluetooth Xbox One controller, and you also need an internet speed of at least 10Mbps. Moment of truth There was always going to be a level of scepticism over how…

Riding high on the xCloud

Atlas These barrels once saw a kid fall down this well, but instead of calling for help they just encouraged people to throw coins down at the poor sod. Heartless. The Outer Worlds Oddly, barrels are the only thing you can hear scream in space. You just don’t get to hear them because they welcome death like a long lost family member. Ghost Recon Breakpoint There are so many barrels around now that some are struggling to find full-time work. Just look at this one: it’s serving drinks just to get by. Trine 4 This is utterly outrageous. All these barrels were doing was having a nice game of leapfrog when a bumbling knight came along and brutally cut them all down. Yooka-Laylee And The Impossible Lair An unexplained phenomenon that’s puzzled historians for decades is just why, when…

Never-endling story

MOTHER NATURE Everyone knows that raising children is a tough job, but when you’re the last living fox mother on the planet – a planet that has fallen to ruin due to the destructiveness of humans – and you need to bring up three vulnerable and defenceless fox cubs, it’s safe to say that you’ve got a much harder task than most. Developer Herobeat Studios has recently announced Endling, a side-scrolling adventure that hopes to explore hard-hitting themes such as the environment and the exploitation of animals, and it looks set to do just that while also constantly yanking on our heartstrings. As that mother fox, travelling across the land with your three pups, you must do everything you can to help them survive. Not only will you be going up against the…

Never-endling story

Are devs holding back for next-gen?

HOLD OUT HOPE The Year Of Our Xbox Overlord, otherwise known as 2019, hasn’t exactly been a vintage year for games. With the likes of Doom Eternal being pushed back until 2020, this coming festive period feels downright anaemic. But why exactly has this year been so poor for big releases? Are studios holding back projects so that they can perfect next-gen versions of games for Microsoft’s impending Project Scarlett? Chris: These delays I fear are something we’ll see more of next spring, because I find it odd so many titles are now slated for spring 2020, which is only six months away from Scarlett’s release date. Drew: That will take the wind out of my sails… though it’d give me a great excuse to dive into a backlog blitz. Dave: I think devs…

Are devs holding back for next-gen?

Chris Burke Editor Chris is hugely excited for Project Scarlett… he’s just hoping it has more than Halo Infinite up its sleeve on launch. Dave Meikleham Games editor OXM’s 4K madman just wants Scarlett to have all the graphics, so he doesn’t mind a couple of games being delayed. Drew Sleep Production editor With a pile of shame roughly the height of K2, Drew isn’t likely to be ready for Project Scarlett until some time in 2029. Adam Bryant Staff writer After feeling a little let down by E3 2019, Adam suspects Xbox One’s time is up and is ready for Scarlett to shine.…

“I would rather play now. Halo 4 was a well-utilised 360 game and it came out just a year before the Xbox One.” Nelson Lee “I’d have rather had games last year, too. Also, considering Scarlett’s still a while off, we should definitely have games now. No one should be holding back for Scarlett, that’s how you lose fans, making them wait that long.” Alastair Cann “I would rather wait for Scarlett. I feel like Xbox One has had a solid run but it’s time for the games to evolve and I feel Scarlett will be that evolution we all need.” Adam Parezo “Dude, I just bought the Xbox One X. Give me a break, the console is just now coming into its own.” Böbby Lee “This year has been decent. DMC5, Kingdom Hearts III, Crackdown 3, Borderlands…

Steve Hogarty is… The Fixer

Over the past few decades, this fixer of videogames has engineered innovative new alternatives to everything from exploding red barrels and mislaid audio logs, to those horrible missions where you have to protect a dumb scientist who would much rather hurl themselves into some spikes than safely reach the evacuation zone. From up here in my OXM-branded blimp I can see for thousands of miles, way out across the landscape of gaming, with all of its strange problems and curious frustrations. Nothing can hide from my scrutiny, because I own a telescope capable of seeing through rocks. It wasn’t always this way. Before I set out on my thankless mission to improve the industry, videogames were primitive, barely playable things. Rather than arrive on a convenient disc, each game had to be…

Chris Burke is… The Editor

Sometimes, games are just not very good. And, as much as we love our jobs here at OXM, when we have to play through and rate a bad game, the life of a games reviewer isn’t always a box of chocolates. Sometimes it’s more like a big bag of wieners. Occasionally, it’s even downright difficult. This month, I’ve been quite literally wrestling with the latest instalment in 2K’s annual WWE game and I now feel like I’ve been through a Hell In A Cell bout with Braun Strowman. You’ll have seen all the social media posts mocking its day one glitches, where all manner of horrors have resulted from the creation suite, while wrestlers form dopplegangers and opponents scrabble around disturbingly like something from Hereditary. And while I didn’t personally experience…

Ms Marvel became Captain Marvel, who used to be a bloke called Mar-Vell, leaving room for a new Ms Marvel. Marvellous! The year 2020 is almost here, and it can’t come soon enough for us. There’s so much to get excited for in the coming year if you’re an Xbox gamer, but we’re just seeing the tip of the iceberg right now. So as we set sail for those horizons like a super-stoked Titanic, we have one or two things to tell you about right here in this month’s Preview section! Crystal Dynamics’ superhero MMORPG Marvel’s Avengers is undoubtedly one of next year’s literal big-hitters, and we have details of a new hero, and the story direction the game will be taking after A-Day. Find out just who Kamala Khan is,…

Marvel’s Avengers

PUBLISHER SQUARE ENIX DEVELOPER CRYSTAL DYNAMICS, EIDOS MONTREAL ETA 15 MAY 2020 Hawkeye is one of the movie Avengers but so far hasn’t been seen in-game. We hope he shows up The Avengers always seem to be saving the day, but who saves the Avengers when they’re in a bit of a bind? Kamala Khan, that’s who. Square Enix’s ambitious Marvel’s Avengers takes advantage of the franchise’s 80-year history to bring us this third-person superhero smasher, but it’s looking to Marvel’s more recent history to tell its own original story of Kamala Khan, or Ms Marvel, who arrived on the scene in 2013. The game’s introductory mission takes place on ‘A-Day’, a celebration of the opening of the Avengers’ newest west coast headquarters and a showcase of group’s new Terrigen crystal reactor. However, disaster soon strikes.…

Marvel’s Avengers

Circuit Superstars

PUBLISHER SQUARE ENIX COLLECTIVE DEVELOPER ORIGINAL FIRE ETA 2020 Square Enix Collective publishes titles created by emerging indie talent, such as Forgotton Anne and Fear Effect Sedna Top-down racers have always been a lot of fun, although anyone old enough to remember the likes of arcade classics like Super Sprint will recall how weirdly counterintuitive the controls were, where you needed to rotate your car rather than merely adapt to the road. No such problems with Circuit Superstars, which as we can attest from our hands-on time with the game, is an intuitive racer with a toybox aesthetic but a toolbox of motorsport realism behind it. The game is being released by Square Enix under its Collective imprint, which nurtures indie developer talent. Original Fire is the creative force here, and three of the six-person…

Circuit Superstars

PUBLISHER THE ARCADE CREW DEVELOPER 1P2P ETA TBC The story is being written by Matthew Ritter, one of the writers from TellTale’s The Walking Dead You’d be forgiven for thinking that this side-scrolling RPG beat-’em-up is a family-friendly romp that takes you to strange and unusual lands, thanks to its cartoon-like hand-drawn aesthetic… but you’d be wrong. Granted, you do get to travel to an outlandish world, but you’ll do so with two particularly sweary siblings. Young Souls takes place in a sleepy town where not much happens, at least above the surface. The game follows the lives of two young orphaned twins named Jenn and Tristan. Both brother and sister were adopted and fathered by a local scientist, but are largely rejected by the local community and are considered outcasts. One day the duo’s…

Werewolf: The Apocalypse – Earthblood

PUBLISHER BIGBEN INTERACTIVE DEVELOPER CYANIDE ETA 2020 World Of Darkness also includes such RPGs as Mage: The Ascension, Mummy: The Resurrection and Demon: The Fallen It looks like 2020 will be packed full of videogames adapted from pen-and-paper RPGs. There’s Mike Pondsmith’s Cyberpunk, of course, and we’re also pretty excited for one monster-themed Xbox game based on a tabletop RPG, Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines 2. Another staple of the classic monster movie, the wolfman, is also getting an RPG in 2020. Werewolf: The Apocalypse – Earthblood is, again, based on a tabletop game set in White Wolf’s World Of Darkness, which is also home to Vampire: The Masquerade. This much hairier beast is being developed by Cyanide Studios, which last year had a good stab at Chaosium’s Lovecraft RPG with the rather decent…

Werewolf: The Apocalypse – Earthblood

PUBLISHER PCUBE DEVELOPER LEVEL 91 ETA SPRING 2020 One of the first speeding offences was documented in 1896, when a motorist was going 8mph in a 2mph zone With over 40 years of innovation in videogames, you’d be forgiven for thinking that every type of racer has already been made. But Level 91, a studio that aims to create games that focus on feel and style over accuracy and realism, has come up with an incredibly unique take on the gearhead genre. Inertial Drift is unlike anything you’ve played before, and after spending just a few moments playing it you’ll feel like a pro thanks to its intuitive controls. Described as a ‘twin-stick arcade racer’, you control your car just like you would any modern racer, the right trigger is used for acceleration and the…

PUBLISHER BIG SUGAR DEVELOPER 2 TON STUDIOS ETA 2020 The game was inspired by locations such as Iceland, Scotland’s Isle Of Skye and Patagonia Developer 2 Ton Studios wants to help make videogames become a well-respected art form. “I don’t think they’re there just yet, they’re just seen as entertainment,” highlights co-founder Stephen Danton. “The key to getting there is allowing games to tell stories in a way that only games can, and that’s in the interactions between the player and the world, and the characters in that world.” Originally, the story for Unto The End was one of revenge, where a father’s wife and child were killed but this soon changed. “We always wanted to tell a story of a father, not of a super knight or demigod, and the more we thought about…

PUBLISHER GRAPESHOT GAMES DEVELOPER GRAPESHOT GAMES ETA TBC Grapeshot struggled to initially release Atlas on PC. It was delayed four times last December Shiver our collective timbers, is this one flippin’ ugly high seas scoundrel. While you’re at it, burn our eyes to boot. Seeing as this massively multiplayer pirate adventure is made by Studio Wildcard’s sister team, it’s no surprise the spiritual follow-up to Ark: Survival Evolved is such an iris-offending shipwreck. We recently got our hands on Atlas when the online swashbuckler popped up on the Xbox Game Preview program, and our inner freebooters have been giving us hell ever since. On paper, Grapeshot Games’ MMO promises a sweeping experience. In reality, however, it’s currently a broken mess… albeit one where you can somehow watch a parrot successfully fend off a huge horned…

ARISE: A SIMPLE STORY PUBLISHER TECHLAND DEVELOPER PICCOLO STUDIO DUE 3 DECEMBER This looks lovely. A tale of loss and love, it sees your hero – who resembles a weirdly buff Santa Claus – control the flow of time. Whether you skip ahead seconds or fast forward entire seasons, the fantasy world Piccolo has created looks astounding. Painterly and bursting with primary colours, its sights span hatchback-sized snails and skyscraper-rivalling sunflowers. DARKSIDERS GENESIS PUBLISHER THQ NORDIC DEVELOPER AIRSHIP SYNDICATE DUE 14 FEB Ah Darksiders, the horseman hit that keeps trotting along. We now have a final release date for this top-down prequel, with the demonic co-op quest set to launch on 14 February 2020. That’s our stabby Valentine’s Day sorted. From the trailers, it seems Genesis is a lot more jokey than its po-faced predecessors. The masked Strife reminds…

GHOST IN THE MACHINE

What would humanity be like if we let our obsession with technology run rampant in a way that gets the better of us? What if we continue to irreparably ruin our planet? These were just a couple of the questions that V1 Interactive’s president Marcus Lehto asked himself when exploring concepts for his next project following his departure from Bungie in 2012. After spending 15 years at the studio, where he co-created the immensely iconic Halo series, designed and created the one and only Master Chief, and spent a year helping develop Destiny, he wasn’t sure what he wanted to do next. He took a year to decompress and had fun exploring different ideas for new projects, but at the same time he tried not to force the idea of making…

GHOST IN THE MACHINE

BREAKING DOWN THE HUD

1 CREW Here you’ll find the status of your crew and whether or not they’re ready to deploy their skills. A red skull will appear to let you know if someone has been downed. Retrieve their remains and they’ll respawn quicker. 2 WEAPONS The cooldowns for each of your weapons will appear on either side of your health bar. Different armaments have their own cooldowns, but thankfully you can holster one and shoot with another while it reloads. 3 TEAMS Retrieval matches will consist of two teams of five going up against each other. This allows for a certain level of flexibility when choosing a crew. A maximum of two players on each team can select the same crew. 4 OBJECTIVES Important locations will appear on your UI. You won’t be able to pick up items yourself,…

BREAKING DOWN THE HUD

1 WARHEDZ The slowest of all the crews in Disintegration, but they pack a punch. Watch out for their warhead weapon, which detonates a nuke in the battlefield, causing devastating damage to anyone caught in its path. 2 NEON DREAMS As the fastest squad, members of Neon Dreams can zip around the map and avoid enemy fire like nobody’s business, which is handy because their durability sucks and they will go down pretty quickly under enemy fire. 3 TECH NOIR This crew is a good choice if you’re a more support-oriented gamer, offering healing abilities to fellow team members. Utilised well, you can keep your team-mates alive while they unleash hell on the enemy. 4 KING’S GUARD As the name suggests, this group clearly has a thing for nobility, and fits into a crowd control role, thanks…

What was it like sitting on such a great idea for so long? Were you ever worried that someone would announce something similar before you did? I was hoping that it was weird enough and wild enough that no one else would ever think of doing something like this! With the story you’re trying to tell, it’ll be incredibly hard to give someone a two-minute trailer that could tell them exactly what they’re going to be experiencing… Yeah, and I don’t want to spill the beans on everything either when it comes to what we release in trailers, because there’s a lot of exciting moments throughout the campaign on this rollercoaster ride that we take the player through. From the highs with great big combat war moments to the lows of taking those…

OXM CHRISTMAS GIFT GUIDE

TEAM OXM There’s no two ways about it. For all the endless Pringles tubes, chocolate snowmen, family and festive cheer, Christmas can be seriously stressful. Whether it’s making your own list when people don’t want to just give you vouchers again or buying for other people, it’s easy to fall into a pit of gift-wrapped despair. Well, the good news is that we’ve made things that little bit easier with this toppling pile of festive suggestions. While some of them are serious investments, like our spread of the ultimate hardware options for the best possible Xbox experience, others are much kinder on the bank balance and perfect for those last-minute Secret Santa shopping trips. Cosplaying ducks, anyone? We didn’t have room for the Star Wars scented candles, though. Seriously, who wants their room…

THE BEST RACING GAMES IN XBOX HISTORY

Quick! Somebody check our pulse. We’re coming down with something. Try as we might, we just can’t seem to resist a burning need. A need for all the speed. Xbox has long been synonymous with great driving games, from Project Gotham Racing which debuted on the original Xbox all the way back in 2001, right up to last year’s excellent Forza Horizon 4. Microsoft consoles just can’t shake speedometer-smashing thrills. Over the next few pages we don’t so much walk down memory lane as nuke its cobbles with a series of speedy dream machines. We celebrate true racing greats spanning three powerhouse eras of Xbox; whether that’s sending the fuzz on a merry chase in Need For Speed: Hot Pursuit or zipping around F1 2019’s Circuit Of The Americas. So don…

THE EVOLUTION OF FORZA

FORZA MOTORSPORT RELEASE 2005 The game that started Xbox’s greatest racing dynasty. This was also the only Forza to appear on the original Xbox. FORZA MOTORSPORT 2 RELEASE 2007 This sequel was developed in tandem with Xbox 360’s Wireless Racing Wheel. Oh, and its box was a banger. FORZA MOTORSPORT 4 RELEASE 2011 Turn 10 partnered with Top Gear for Forza 4 in a move that means you get a lot of Jeremy Clarkson in your ear. Ugh. FORZA HORIZON RELEASE 2012 The franchise’s first sandbox spin-off is a intense, Colorado-based racer that introduced the concept of the Horizon Festival. FORZA HORIZON 2 RELEASE 2014 An ambitious sequel that straddled the console divide, popping up on Xbox 360 and Xbox One. It gave a good Lambo, too. FORZA HORIZON 3 RELEASE 2016 The best entry in either the spin-off or mainline series. This Aussie masterpiece still looks…

THE EVOLUTION OF FORZA

Baldur’s Gate is a city in the Forgotten Realms world of the Dungeons & Dragons pen-and-paper RPG. If you’re going, don’t forget your D20. Another bumper month for game releases, it must be nearly Christmas! To kick off we’ve got a mega-review of Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon Breakpoint (p64). Does it live up to Ubisoft and Clancy’s reputation for great shooters? Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare is a reimagining of the 2008 COD classic that gave the series’ its lofty reputation. Find out if it lives up to its mighty name on page 68! The next shooter takes a slightly different tack, Plants Vs Zombies: Battle For Neighborville (p70) has its tongue firmly in its cheek. This year WWE2K20 puts more emphasis on the women of the WWE, and we find…

Ghost Recon Breakpoint

As a Ghost, Nomad belongs to the fictional Delta Company, First Battalion, Fifth Special Forces Group The first Ghost Recon game surfaced on Xbox way back 2001, and it wasn’t half bad PUBLISHER UBISOFT / DEVELOPER UBISOFT PARIS / RELEASE DATE OUT NOW / COST £59.99/$59.99 Ghost Recon, Ubisoft’s Tom Clancy-branded near-future military shooter franchise, has always been a solid bet, building a decent fanbase among those who prefer their soldiering to be open world and gadget-assisted. But with Breakpoint, something has gone badly awry. We’re all for games that make you work hard for your rewards but, in its early stages at least, playing Breakpoint feels more of a chore than a pleasure. If you persist with it, you’ll find that matters improve markedly, but all the way through it, fundamental flaws nag…

Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare

Barry Sloane plays the new Captain Price. You might have seen him in *checks notes*… um, Bluff City Law? PUBLISHER ACTIVISION / DEVELOPER INFINITY WARD / RELEASE DATE OUT NOW / COST £49.99/$59.99 Dear god, the goats. The goats have ruined us. Infinity Ward’s rebooted shooter can be deeply unpleasant during its six-to-eight-hour campaign. Yet despite featuring terror attacks and a scene where you can accidentally shoot a baby, it’s a brief moment of hircine slaughter we find most upsetting in this year’s COD. Goat Simulator, this isn’t. The poor beasts in question pop up in a mission that involves a nerve gas attack; helplessly gasping for air in the aftermath as their eyes bulge in despair. It’s perhaps the most chilling act of virtual violence we’ve seen since Spec Ops: The Line’s…

Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare

Plants Vs Zombies: Battle For Neighborville

The game’s alpha test was codenamed ‘Picnic’ – isn’t it ants that ruin those, not zombies? PUBLISHER ELECTRONIC ARTS / DEVELOPER POPCAP GAMES / RELEASE DATE OUT NOW / COST £34.99/$39.99 Like a tiny acorn growing into a giant oak tree, it’s amazing how big the Plants Vs Zombies franchise has become. Since the original mobile game released to rave reviews in 2009, we’ve seen sequels, a card-based spin-off and now the third entry in the franchise’s third-person shooter arm, Plants Vs Zombies: Battle For Neighborville. Fire up this sequel to Garden Warfare 2 and you’ll find yourself in ‘Neighborville’, a safe zone separated into three distinct areas. There’s Dave Manor, a plant-friendly base owned by a taco-loving time traveller; Zomboss HQ, the zombie base run by brain-loving Dr Zomboss; and Giddy Park,…

Plants Vs Zombies: Battle For Neighborville

WWE2K20 cover star Becky Lynch trained at WWE Superstar Finn Bálor’s training school in Ireland PUBLISHER 2K / DEVELOPER VISUAL CONCEPTS / RELEASE DATE OUT NOW / COST £54.99/$59.99 As with all annual franchise sports releases, the worst we might have expected from WWE2K20 is that we’d probably be able to cut and paste last year’s review, knock off early and go to the pub. How wrong we were. What should have been a promising progression for the franchise has got everyone talking about it for all the wrong reasons. Leaving aside the laughable release-day glitches, from terrible clipping to spinning wrestlers, texture confusion and some hideously mutated wrestler creations, WWE2K20 has let itself down in so many of the worst kinds of ways. It has metaphorically gone to the toilet in its…

Baldur’s Gate: Enhanced Editions

The original Baldur’s Gate was released in 1998 and was BioWare’s second game after Shattered Steel PUBLISHER BEAMDOG / DEVELOPER BEAMDOG, BIOWARE, BLACK ISLE / RELEASE DATE OUT NOW / COST £41.74/$49.99 It’s safe to say that Dungeons & Dragons is more popular than it has ever been – a fact which is immensely gratifying for someone who has enjoyed it since the early Eighties. Most modern videogames owe debts to the tabletop game (it pretty much coined the level-up system, for example) so it’s pleasing to see that some of the best D&D adventures of all time have been dusted down and ported over to Microsoft’s powerful black box. It’s even more pleasing to see how well they hold up in today’s climate. The fact that both Baldur’s Gate and Baldur’s Gate…

Baldur’s Gate: Enhanced Editions

Yooka-Laylee & The Impossible Lair

The original inspiration behind Yooka-Laylee is Banjo-Kazooie, a game featured in Rare Replay PUBLISHER TEAM17 / DEVELOPER PLAYTONIC / RELEASE DATE OUT NOW / COST £24.99/$29.99 You have to admire Playtonic’s dedication to not throwing in the towel. Kickstarted spiritual successors to beloved ’90s classics spell trouble at the best of times, but in the original Yooka-Laylee the team of ex-Rare developers proved they could deliver something special. Their first attempt may not have solidified the sentiment, but this surprising spin-off sequel definitely does. Yooka-Laylee And The Impossible Lair shifts the perspective from colourful 3D collect-a-thon to challenging 2D platformer, one that isn’t afraid to pay homage to familiar genre staples while also iterating on them enough to suit modern audiences. This chameleon and bat duo have finally found their groove. There’s a…

Children Of Morta

During early development the character Joey was originally going to form a relationship with Linda PUBLISHER 11 BIT STUDIOS / DEVELOPER DEAD MAGE STUDIOS / RELEASE DATE OUT NOW / COST £18.49/$21.99 Without a doubt, the first thing that will draw you into this roguelike action RPG is the beautifully intricate pixel art and expressive animations. So much care and attention has been put into imbuing everything from the characters to the environments with an abundance of personality. At several points throughout the game, we found ourselves stopping just to admire what was being shown on-screen. The second thing that will draw you in is the story, which despite being set in a fantasy world full of monsters and magic, contains a heartfelt tale of love, loss, sacrifice and, most importantly, familial…

Frostpunk: Console Edition

The lowest temperature ever recorded on Earth was-89.2 Celcius (Antarctica, 1983) PUBLISHER 11 BIT STUDIOS / DEVELOPER 11 BIT STUDIOS / RELEASE DATE OUT NOW / COST £24.99/$29.99 You may well have simmed a city or two, but probably not like this. Forget traffic and taxation – this is urban planning meets climate disaster in a unique survival mash-up from the people who brought us This War Of Mine. It’s set in a Victorian alternate reality where civilisation has been destroyed by the sudden arrival of a new Ice Age. Leading a band of survivors northwards from a frozen London in search of fuel, you end up forming a settlement around a coal-fired generator. Heat being the most important factor in the survival of your colony, the city is built in a circle…

Ghostbusters: The Video Game Remastered

Columbia Pictures’ Ghost Corps Inc is focused on expanding the GB universe with new films, games etc PUBLISHER MAD DOG GAMES / DEVELOPER TERMINAL REALITY, SABER INTERACTIVE / RELEASE DATE OUT NOW / COST £24.99/$29.99 There really hasn’t been anything like Ghostbusters in the now-35 years since its cinematic release. The concept, genius cast, sharp dialogue and truly iconic scenes were, and are, a cut above. Revisiting Atari and Terminal Reality’s 2009 official Ghostbusters game, given a ten-year remaster by Saber interactive, finds it just as gratifying as watching the classic ’80s movies. Because as far as movie tie-in videogames go, there really hasn’t ever been anything like this, either. Ten years ago, this writer was lucky enough to meet and interview Dan Aykroyd in New York to talk about a game that he…

Ghostbusters: The Video Game Remastered

The Outer Worlds

NPC casualties caused by the sticky RT on Phil Iwaniuk’s controller: three PUBLISHER PRIVATE DIVISION / DEVELOPER OBSIDIAN ENTERTAINMENT / RELEASE DATE OUT NOW / COST £49.99/$59.99 Space. It offers humanity the chance to wipe that greasy slate of corruption, environmental damage and inequality clean and start again in fresh, exotic climes, and yet it so rarely works out that way, doesn’t it? No Man’s Sky: a universe of planets named after sexual swearwords. Elite Dangerous: a one-to-one replica of our milky way featuring nothing but things that shoot you on sight. The Outer Worlds: well, it’s complicated. You see, corporations have been given free reign to exploit both resources and workforces and have long since overthrown the traditional bodies of government as a result. So when the technology arose to colonise other…

Trine 4: The Nightmare Prince

2019 marks the tenth anniversary of the Trine series, which originally debuted on PC PUBLISHER MODUS GAMES / DEVELOPER FROZENBYTE / RELEASE DATE OUT NOW / COST £24.99/$29.99 For how prevalent high fantasy tropes have become in videogames, it’s a wonder more don’t opt for that twee, quintessentially British tone instead of the overplayed gritty aesthetic. Luckily, Frozenbyte’s Trine series has always recognised the former’s appeal, making a habit of entrenching players within colourful settings filled with whimsical characters, always with smart physics-based puzzles to work through. Trine 4: The Nightmare Prince is a rousing return to form for the three familiar heroes, forgoing the previous entry’s stray into full-3D environments by bringing back the traditional 2.5D puzzle platforming challenges fans know and love. The story this time around concerns the Nightmare Prince,…

Trine 4: The Nightmare Prince

Destiny 2: Shadowkeep

You want to be at least power level 930 before you and your Fireteam tackle Shadowkeep’s raid PUBLISHER BUNGIE / DEVELOPER BUNGIE / RELEASE DATE OUT NOW / COST £29.99/$34.99 If familiarity breeds contempt, then Bungie’s latest expansion could yet make returning Guardians a little hate-filled. Revisiting the original shooter’s Hive-invested Moon and reusing a bunch of well-worn areas and bosses, the MMO hybrid’s new campaign often comes across as a shameless rehash. At the same time, though, the overall package has never been stronger or easier to recommend. Talk about a Vexing situation. The launch of Shadowkeep heralds something of a root-and-branch shake-up for Destiny 2. The latest DLC is the showpiece of a much-changed shooter, one that is now both free-toplay and supports cross-play saves between Xbox One, PC and PS4.…

Regular OXM readers will know we’ve got a real soft spot for old baldy, Agent 47. His latest outing, last year’s Hitman 2, was already a deep and rewarding experience, but the devs at IO Interactive have spent the last year tweaking and bolting stuff on, resulting in today’s iteration being one of the most fun games you can play that involve killing people. It’s the subject of the first of our Now Playing features on page 96 this month! We also spend some time with criminally overlooked shooter Singularity (p98) and innovative pinball-themed dungeon-crawler Creature In The Well (p99). Then, we go shopping, returning to the Willamette Mall for the iconic Dead Rising. Read the story of Capcom’s zombies-laughtering Xbox 360 classic in this month’s Retrospective feature on page…

NOW PLAYING: HITMAN 2

PUBLISHER WARNER BROS / DEVELOPER IO INTERACTIVE / FORMAT XBOX ONE / RELEASE DATE NOVEMBER 2018 I have never quite been able to fathom Hitman 2’s requirement for a permanent online connection in order to “experience the full richness” of the game – you just download updates when they’re available, and it plays exactly the same in offline mode, except you can’t access the items you’ve unlocked. However, the developers at Io Interactive felt the need to implement it, and there’s no denying that the large amount of stuff they’ve bolted onto it during the past 12 months has added greatly to what was already a game of extraordinary depth. While Hitman 2’s subject matter is an opaque blend of secret agents, assassination and global conspiracies, the game’s steadfast refusal to take itself…

NOW PLAYING: HITMAN 2

PUBLISHER ACTIVISION / DEVELOPER RAVEN SOFTWARE / FORMAT XBOX 360 / RELEASE DATE JUNE 2010 Though it might now seem strange to think it, Activision was once known for more than Call Of Duty – even going so far as to occasionally take bold risks. After all, this is the same company that put the toys-to-life craze on the map with the Skylanders franchise, introduced the world to Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater, and had a major role in helping Bungie realise the full potential of Destiny as an MMO shooter. 2010’s Singularity may not have been quite as headline-grabbing as these aforementioned success stories, but its bonkers premise and inventive time-warping mechanics still render it a cult classic. At first, it seems pretty paint-by-numbers for an FPS. You take on the role…

CREATURE IN THE WELL

PUBLISHER FLIGHT SCHOOL STUDIO / DEVELOPER FLIGHT SCHOOL STUDIO / FORMAT XBOX ONE / RELEASE DATE SEPTEMBER 2019 A sandstorm rages through the desert as a small robot navigates its way towards a looming mountain. Deep within the caverns lies a colossal creature, dwelling in the darkness before its next victim enters its lair. As the robot ventures through the mouth of the mountain, an ear-piercing metallic scream echoes from the depths. The creature is awake, and knows you have arrived. In Flight School Studio’s Creature In The Well, you play as the last BOT-C unit, a robot that has been given the task of restoring power to a machine in hopes of stopping the neverending sandstorm that ravages the world. The facility you seek lies deep underground, and to get to…

RETROSPECTIVE DEAD RISING

PUBLISHER CAPCOM / DEVELOPER CAPCOM / FORMAT XBOX 360, XBOX ONE Zombies. Can’t live with ’em, can’t kill ’em. But that’s only because they’re already dead. You can, however, destroy them in any number of ways, with all manner of household objects, sports equipment and lawnmowers in Capcom’s early Xbox 360-exclusive zombie game. Back in 2006, the Japanese game giant was the master of zombie games. We’d already had ten years of Resident Evil, but the devs at Capcom outdid themselves with the scale, violence, humour and unabashed movie references of Dead Rising. The third-person action sees you in control of Frank West, a photojournalist first on the scene of an incident at the Willamette Mall, Colorado. Willamette is every-State USA, as chopper pilot Ed puts it, “Distinguishing characteristics: jack s**t! About the…

RETROSPECTIVE DEAD RISING

WHY I LOVE… MUNDANE ENVIRONMENTS

PUBLISHER 505 GAMES / DEVELOPER REMEDY ENTERTAINMENT / FORMAT XBOX ONE / RELEASE DATE AUGUST 2019 When first stepping into the foyer in Control’s government building, it looks just like a boring office. As Jesse continues through the hall and up to the offices on the next floor, everything appears to be neat and tidy but without a soul in sight. Apart from the lack of people, nothing seems out of the ordinary. But I just can’t shake the feeling that something is wrong, and that something much bigger and much stranger awaits further in. The space of an unassuming and drab office wouldn’t be the first setting that comes to mind when wanting to create a supernatural sci-fi narrative. But when dealing with the themes of power and bureaucracy in videogames,…

10 BEST IN-GAME MAPS ON XBOX

10 NO MAN’S SKY It must be fairly difficult to make a map that can show 18 quintillion planets. The developers at Hello Games didn’t just do it; they made it really beautiful, and incredibly easy to use. Flying to the next objective is straightforward, but switch to Free Explore mode and you can literally zoom across the entire universe, explore the stars and find new locations to visit. Want to head towards a black hole? Find an unexplored system? Or just challenge yourself at a dangerous new location? Simply fly around until you find what you’re looking for, and you can head straight to it. Different coloured stars indicate different things, and everything is surrounded by lovely bright gas clouds. Space is pretty! 09 FAR CRY 2 The whole point of a Far Cry…

10 BEST IN-GAME MAPS ON XBOX

TEN XBOX ONE GAMES YOU SHOULD BE PLAYING games 01 RED DEAD REDEMPTION II PUBLISHER ROCKSTAR GAMES A stone-cold 10/10 classic and the best looking console game there’s ever been, with easily the most surprising story in open-world history. Plays best on X, too. DEFINING MOMENT That incredible, unforeseen twist halfway through. 02 FORZA HORIZON 4 PUBLISHER MICROSOFT STUDIOS A must-have experience for every Xbox One owner, not only is the racing excellent and varied, the open-world playground you drive across is one of the most stunning places we’ve seen on the console. DEFINING MOMENT Seeing the seasons change for the first time. 03 RESIDENT EVIL 2 PUBLISHER CAPCOM Fantastic reboot of the ’90s survival horror classic that perfectly captures the essence of the original while offering something completely new. DEFINING MOMENT Shooting all the arms and legs off a zombie and realising…

OXM TEAM CHOICE

Chris’ choice CALL OF DUTY: MODERN WARFARE It did me the world of good to swerve last year’s COD offering, and now I’m fully recharged to get totally wiped out within the first 30 seconds of Modern Warfare online. Love the campaign though, and couch co-op is a blast. Dave’s choice YOOKA-LAYLEE AND THE IMPOSSIBLE LAIR 2D or not 2D… is in no way a question when it comes to this cracking little side-scolling sequel. Pipe down, Hamlet. The move away from 3D stages is the making of this retro, thoroughly sharp platformer. Adam’s choice DESTINY 2: SHADOWKEEP Just when I thought I was out, they pull me back in. I’ve been hooked on Bungie’s life-devouring expansion since its release. I can’t seem to stop grinding the season ranks and artefacts. Someone send help!…

WHAT TO LOOK FOR IN AN XBOX ONE GAMING HEADSET

WHAT PRICE IS RIGHT? Figure out what you want/need/can afford. Which features are essential? Where do you sit in relation to your console? Do you need to be wireless? Do you talk a lot? If so, you’ll want to look for a good mic with high levels of clarity and fidelity. Consider build quality vs price. SOUNDS GOOD Look for sound features like noise cancelling and positional audio. The latter will help improve your situational awareness. How well does the headset work with music, and movies? While good bass might not be vital for gaming it most definitely will be for tunes. ZONE IN ON COMFORT Find something you know will be cosy for extended sessions. You don’t want a set that feels like it’s constricting your skull or crushing your ears. Are you a…

TOP 5 HEADSETS FOR XBOX ONE TURTLE BEACH STEALTH 600 £89.99/$89.95 BEST NEW HEADSET With these totally on-brand black and Xbox-green beauties, you’ll cut a real dash. If only anyone could see you. Still, it’s the sound that counts, and what Turtle Beach reckons about its 600 series of wireless Stealth headset is that it’ll give you ‘Superhuman Hearing’. A dubious claim that might be, but the sound is certainly great, with virtual surround sound helping you to identify where your would-be assassin is creeping up from. The ‘ProSpecs Glasses Relief System’ makes prolonged sessions more comfy with your specs on, while variable mic monitoring and a wealth of audio presets including bass boost make these our new faves. And they’re wireless, so the cat won’t bite through the cable… RAZER KRAKEN TOURNAMENT EDITION £99.99/$99.99…

OPTIMISE YOUR 4K EXPERIENCE To make 4K games look their best, black levels need to be correctly set. HDMI limited or black-level high is the option you want. Make sure the TV’s sharpness slider is set to no more than ten per cent of the max value or you could distort the picture. If your 4K set has a game mode, switch it on: it slashes response times, aka lag. To enable the full gamut of HDR colours, calibrate the HDMI slot your Xbox is plugged into to support ‘4:2:2 chroma subsampling’. This might be called ‘Ultra HD Deep Colour’ or ‘Enhanced’ HDMI – turn it on in your TV’s HDR settings. Your Xbox One’s ‘Calibrate TV’ option in Display and Sound settings does a decent job of ensuring your contrast,…

The Xbox brand has always been very important to me. The games created by studios like Bungie, Lionhead Studios, Epic Games or, more recently, Moon Studios, have forged my character as a gamer and remain unforgettable. If I have to give you five of my favourite games, they would have to be, firstly, Fable and Fable 2 [1], for their beautiful art direction and their innovative concept of the choice between good and evil. The next would be Gears Of War 2 [2] for its story, its nervousness and its awesome and monstrous big boss battles. Then, of course, Halo 3 [3]. I do not know if I need to present this monument of videogames in terms of gameplay, history, multiplayer and soundtrack (oh my god, the Halo soundtracks are…
