Feature | Starfield's biggest problem is that you can't play Skyrim for the first time again
Mountains of the mind.
In Sunday's Starfield Direct, Bethesda took pains to join the dots between its established role-playing franchises and this year's mammoth space epic. For all the vaster playspace, with a thousand planets to roam and marvel at or at least, blow up for materials, Starfield will remain a Bethesda RPG "through and through" - pitched squarely at those, like myself, who shovelled hundreds of mortal hours into the furnaces of Skyrim and Fallout 3.

Video | The Crew Motorfest is Ubisoft's attempt to overtake Forza Horizon
Parallel parking.

Prince of Persia side-scroller The Lost Crown announced
UPDATE: Time powers return.
UPDATE 12/6/23: Gameplay of Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown was shown at tonight's Ubisoft Forward, revealing time powers are back.
New character Sargon will be able to use time in combat to gain the upper hand on enemies, as well as in platforming puzzles. But some enemies will also have time powers to use against him.
You can check out the full gameplay reveal below.
ORIGINAL STORY 8/6/23: Surprise! Summer Games Fest 2023 has kicked off with the announcement of Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown, a new take on Ubisoft's classic series.
This latest entry has a modern side-scrolling feel, with puzzles and flashy boss fights.
It's coming to PC, PlayStation 4, PS5, Nintendo Switch, Xbox One and Xbox Series X/S and already has a release date: 18th January 2024.
Today's reveal trailer showed a redesigned Prince with more chunky, cartoony visuals, platforming in 2.5D environments, and at one point seemingly meeting a version of himself. Time travel? Quite possibly.
In a press release, Ubisoft said this game is inspired by Metroidvanias and stars Sargon, "a young, gifted warrior, and member of an elite group called The Immortals".
"As they are sent to rescue Prince Ghassan, they will explore Mount Qaf, a once wondrous place, now cursed and hostile," the game's description reads. "Sargon and his brothers-in-arms will soon discover that time itself will be a treacherous foe and that the world balance must be restored."
We'll see more of Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown at Ubisoft's own reveal event, next Monday.
This is separate, of course, from the now much-delayed Prince of Persia: Sands of Time remaster, which now lingers without a release date.
