"Fist meets fate."
Bandai Namco has released a new trailer for Tekken 8 to get us up to speed on what has happened in the series so far.

But what Insomniac and Nintendo didn't have (or who they didn't have) was Succession's Brian Cox to talk us through the story so far.

Digital Foundry | The Finals on PC: genuinely awesome destruction tech without sacrificing performance
DF's PC tech analysis, plus a quick look at PS5.
Embark Studios is a game development house with a lot of promise. Founded and staffed by many ex-DICE Frostbite tech gurus in 2018, the studio has exhibited a hardcore tech focus since its inception with tech demos and presentations into machine learning for animation and AI, open-source code repositories and of course ray-traced graphics. I always wondered what kind of game they were really making with all of this technology, and now I have the answer with The Finals.

Feature | Pacific Drive is a gloriously horrible trip into the cursed wilderness
Roadside Picnic.
There are a lot of ways you could describe Pacific Drive, I think. It's sort of an extraction looter, in which you tumble into horrible worlds and try to emerge with something worth stealing. It's sort of a blend of Roadside Picnic, the novel about scavengers who explore a strange area of wilderness that's been thoroughly messed up by passing aliens, and My Summer Car, the Steam outsider art classic about building and maintaining a real junker and then tooling it through the woods. These are all fine ways of approaching the game, but for me it's much simpler - and much more thrilling. Pacific Drive is a series of bad things waiting to happen to you.

Ok Boomer(ang).
It's been a rocky start for Rocksteady's Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League. After an initial leak, the game was officially announced by the studio in August 2020, though this arrived in the wake of sexual harassment accusations. Since then, the game was delayed, the studio's co-founders left, and reports of a battle pass became a hot debate. Last year we finally got a look at the game in action during Sony's PlayStation State of Play, but the reaction was somewhat negative and once again it was delayed. More recently, an alpha tech test took place in December but spoilery footage swiftly leaked.
