New gameplay footage from Slitterhead has dropped from PAX West, and once again, Slitterhead is really emphasising the fact you can play as a dog.

Shadow of the Ninja Reborn is a beautiful, hard-as-nails action game from developer Tengo Project. The fourth entry in Tengo's 16-bit taste remake series, it's also arguably the most ambitious. Prior releases from Tengo Project, such as Pocky and Rocky Reshrined and The Ninja Warriors Once Again, were based on games that already existed in 16-bit form, making the transition easier to imagine - but this new game is based on an 8-bit NES game instead. As a result, everything needed to be completely re-imagined from the ground-up. From gameplay to visuals and audio, this is a masterpiece of pixel art action that simply must be experienced if you have any love for classic gaming.

Discord wants to share your recent playtime with your friends.

Are you a member of Gen Z, a committed TikTok user, with an Instagram feed full of fashion content? Do you know what 'slay' now means? Have you been living a Brat summer?

But if all those words sounded alarmingly unfamiliar… allow me to introduce you to Dress to Impress.

Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora was Digital Foundry's choice for 2023's best graphics of the year and so it was with some degree of excitement that we received review code for Star Wars Outlaws. Ubisoft Massive's high-tech Snowdrop Engine has returned, once again delivering some of the best visuals we've seen. The key technological foundations remain: RT global illumination for diffuse lighting and reflections, volumetric fog, clouds and sky, and extreme quality detail and texture work. On top of that, PC users can take visuals to the next level with RTX Direct Illumination, making every light and shadow ray-traced. There are flaws and issues that need improvement, but there's no doubt that this is another key showcase title for the PC format.

Annapurna Interactive says there's "been a glitch in the time loop", and the PS5 physical edition of its Outer Wilds: Archaeologist Edition has been printed with "the wrong version of the game".

Dragon's Dogma 2 director Hideaki Itsuno is leaving Capcom after "30 years and five months".

Concord is estimated to have sold just 25,000 copies.

"Bite-size" is one of those terms that gets a bad rap. This may be because it conjures memories of cramming for GCSEs with the help of the Beeb, or because, when deployed in the world of cuisine, it often translates to: "slightly less than you paid for." But in games, bite-size can be a wonderful size. WarioWare is bite-sized: the entire history of interaction delivered in four-second gulps. Into the Breach is bite-sized: a dizzying well of strategy that you can dip into in the time it takes to send an email.

As Dame Shirley Bassey once famously bellowed, "It's all just a little bit of history repeating". And so it is with this week's Epic Games Store giveaway of the Fallout Classic Collection, which Tim Sweeney previously wafted at storeshop visitors in December 2022 and February this year.

Rumours of a PlayStation exclusivity deal for Black Myth: Wukong have arisen, causing confusion around its forthcoming Xbox release.

Sonic was probably my first love. The Master System game was the first I got really into, and from there it was Sonic the Comic collections, Sonic sketches, Sonic stories, Sonic clothing. Ever since, I've always had a soft spot for the blue blur.

Last night, Final Fantasy 16 appeared as part of Sony's PS Plus subscription, but has since been removed.

An annual report into the use of minerals sourced from conflict zones by major technology companies has praised Microsoft and Nintendo for their efforts to improve over the past year.

Hello! Bertie's on holibobs this week, so a warm welcome from me to What We've Been Playing, Eurogamer's regular feature where we share some of the intriguing - but not necessarily brand new - games on our screens over the past few days. Hot off the Gamescom 2024 showfloor, there's a cosy crafting survival game you can also try at home, plus the end of a lengthy role-playing saga, and an epic Viking tale with a Greek twist.

How far is too far for a remake - and how safe is too safe? For Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater, a sumptuous Unreal Engine 5 remake of a 2004 classic, finding a winning answer to this question has led to a great many careful choices at Konami. The combat and camera are updated, the visuals are starkly improved, and yet the original's DNA still courses through the experience. Perhaps even more-so than another ongoing remake effort - Silent Hill 2, as handled by Bloober team - this project rather prefers a more literal approach. In playing its opening 90 minutes, covering the Virtuous Mission prologue, it's also clear that a deep respect for Hideo Kojima's 2004 original steers Delta towards a stricter 1:1 recreation than you might expect.

Impossible ports. That phrase is our shorthand for the conversion of console and PC titles to the Switch that seem almost inconceivable, pushing the aging Tegra X1 hardware in the seven-year-old Nintendo handheld to its absolute limits. That's what we're focusing on today as we round up the best-looking and most technically accomplished third-party releases on Switch, following on from our retrospective of the best-looking first-party Nintendo releases last month.
