Another corker of a Star Citizen gameplay video just aired at the annual CitizenCon bash, and this one has a sort of Mako vehicle, sort of sand people and a sort of giant worm!

The vast majority of remasters tend to deliver native 1080p visuals and a boost to frame-rates, but frequently offer up little else in terms of a graphical upgrade. However, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare Remastered is different, with developers Raven Software completely reworking the game's visuals for the current generation of console hardware. That means not only an increase in resolution, but also new assets, upgraded effects work, along with more dynamic camera work for the cutscenes. In that sense simply calling this latest version of Modern Warfare a remaster would be doing the game a disservice, when what we have here is a fully-fledged remake of a title that defined the last generation of first-person shooters.

The first time I came upon GoNNER, the new action-roguelike by Mattias "Dittomat" Dittrich, it was upon the recommendation of Vlambeer's Rami Ismail. It makes sense that the co-creator of Nuclear Throne, Luftrausers, and Super Crate Box would be drawn to Dittrich's whimsical procedurally-generated platforming shooter. It contains the familiar furious scramble of cartoon violence that's become a staple of Vlambeer's work. The screen-shaking, the throngs of enemies being eviscerated in a matter of seconds, the comically abrupt game over status. GoNNER isn't a Vlambeer game, but the dutch developer's mark is all over it.

CCP, the maker of space MMO Eve Online, is the latest developer to crack down on video game gambling websites.

Video game bugs may annoy and amuse, but they can also be strangely revealing. I've encountered plenty of minor and major errors in Hangar 13's Mafia 3, a hard-to-love but undeniably ambitious open-world crime sim, set in a thinly disguised remix of 1968 New Orleans. A few hours into the story, I was driving out of the bayou when the game's shadows went haywire, spinning around objects as though the sun were a police searchlight. Later, I somehow managed to impale an unconscious bartender on a stool, terrifying an old woman so much that her coffee cup became magically affixed to her hand as she ran for the exit.

Robinson: The Journey, the dinosaur planet PlayStation VR-exclusive survival game by Crytek, is slated for a 9th November release in Europe.

World of Final Fantasy, the chibi Final Fantasy spin-off, is getting a playable demo on 17th October, ahead of its 28th October launch on PS4 and Vita.

Telltale's Batman series will receive its third episode, New World Order, on 25th October for PS4, Xbox One and PC.

The Battlefield 1 EA Access trial has gone live a day early.

In development since 2014, Gears of War 4 marks the triumphant return of the chainsaw-wielding franchise. While it may seem like familiar ground initially, Gears of War 4 is actually a game of many firsts - it's the first project from The Coalition - the Gears focused studio formerly known as Black Tusk - the first big AAA console game powered by Unreal Engine 4, and the first Gears title released day and date on both Xbox One and PC.

There's a ritual to starting a new Pokémon game, a formula of events which the force of nostalgia has set into stone. Leaving your childhood home, you pick your first Pokémon and battle your childhood rival, heading down Route 1 and into your first patch of long grass with an empty Pokédex but a pocket full of Pokéballs.

There's no question Junkenstein's Revenge, Overwatch's new Halloween-themed horde mode, is good fun. Compared to the Brawl modes that Overwatch has had before, this is night and day, an introduction to the potential of Blizzard's multiplayer hero shooter as a co-op player versus the computer kind of game. But I'm happy Dr. Junkenstein's Revenge will soon go away.

I love Halloween. Seriously, ask anyone from my wonderful former hometown of Derry and they'll tell you: we take All Hallow's Eve very, very seriously. Over there, you'll feel left out if you aren't in costume. I'm fully expecting to see one or two Overwatch costumes in the crowds this year, which is funny - given some Overwatch characters won't exactly look themselves for the next 19 days.

Listen, Chris Bratt has found another way to talk about XCOM 2. He's just completed the game on Ironman mode, which means that the game saves pretty much constantly and any mistakes are locked in good and tight. He wants to talk about it and so do I. Welcome to another edition of the Eurogamer Podcast!

Spare a thought for Aaron Paul. That guy is busy. He is up against it! He needs a holiday! He needs a long bath, as they say, to soak his hams. How do we know he's busy? Because, weirdly enough, Microsoft chose to make his busy-ness a core component of the marketing for Titanfall back in the day. Aaron Paul: Busy! But not too busy to play Titanfall.

One of my favourite bugs in Battlefield 4 - heck who knows, maybe it was a feature - was its stubborn insistence that I never see too far beyond the first mission of its campaign. Each and every time I logged off of a session, the save would be wiped no matter what precautions I took. Even as DICE moved to clean up the rest of the mess that surrounded the game's launch, that problem remained. Months after I'd bought the game, and after hours of enjoying its increasingly brilliant multiplayer, the single-player was still effectively unplayable. It's quite possible it was deliberate. Perhaps DICE was simply ashamed of another mediocre Battlefield campaign.

Hitman's season finale is set on the Japanese island of Hokkaido and launches on 31st October.

A revived Turok 2 is still in the works, despite radio silence from the developers.

A cool looking mod that turns StarCraft 2 into a cartoon is out now.

UPDATE 12TH OCTOBER: It has arrived: Overwatch Halloween Terror is here on PC, PS4 and Xbox One, and will stay until 1st November.

1930s animation-inspired platformer Cuphead has been delayed until mid-2017 on Xbox One and PC.

Think of Grasshopper Manufacture and there's one person that comes to mind: Suda Goichi (aka Suda 51). The eccentric director of Killer7 and No More Heroes has received lots of accolades over his bizarre body of work. Whether it was the surreal nightmare of Killer7, the frenzied punk catharsis of No More Heroes, or the slapstick scatological humour of Shadows of the Damned, Grasshopper's bold, askew take on action, story and presentation is unmistakably from the house that Suda built.

This isn't so much a sequel to the 2012's Paper Mario: Sticker Star as it is a do-over with a fresh lick of paint - and that's likely to leave some Nintendo fans as mad as a sack of Wigglers. To many observers Sticker Star was the weak link in the Paper Mario chain - a flimsy effort that saw the series distance itself from its RPG origins in favour of a more action-heavy, and strategy-light, approach.

The ridiculously titled Duke Nukem 3D: 20th Anniversary Edition World Tour releases today on PC and console and it's yet another chance for people to either A) experience classic Duke Nukem for the first time, or B) take a trip down memory lane and relive what gaming used to be like in the 90s.

You can now play a Red Dead game on your PlayStation 4 - but probably not the Red Dead game you want.

The first DLC for Sunless Sea - which Simon Parkin gave an Essential - is now available to download. The expansion, dubbed Zubmariner, allows players to kit out their zeefaring vessels for trips to the ocean floor; adding whole new areas for captains to explore and never return from.

I've played over 50 online matches of FIFA 17 now, so feel comfortable in delivering a verdict of sorts: this is the sweatiest FIFA game I've ever played.

With PlayStation VR about to launch, there's no better time to imagine what one of the world's most popular game series might look like in virtual reality.

UPDATE 10.50am: Samsung has just announced it will permanently cease all production of the Galaxy Note 7.

Editor's note: This is our final review of Gears of War 4, based on time with the full game on live servers. If you want more in-depth impressions on Gears of War 4's campaign, our early impressions piece goes into more detail on the game's single-player.
