UPDATE 30/8/19: If you managed to miss CD Projekt Red's Cyberpunk 2077 livestream earlier today, replete with its previously promised 15-minutes of gameplay, fret not; the whole thing has now been uploaded to YouTube for excitable repeat viewing and more thorough perusal.

At 6.49pm on 4th September, 1999, the first post on Eurogamer was made. It was pretty functional. In typical socially awkward Brit fashion, we didn't think to introduce ourselves properly until five minutes later. (And we hadn't yet realised how ugly our name looked with a capital G in it.) But still, that is the official moment Eurogamer was born - and we also take it as the birth date for the company that was built around the site, originally known as Eurogamer Network, then Gamer Network, now part of the ReedPop family.

It's been more than 10 years since Platinum Games unleashed its first project and since then, the Osaka-based studio has defined and redefined the action game with brilliant releases including Bayonetta, Vanquish and Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance. But there's a sense that the firm wants to take its signature style in new directions: Nier: Automata produced brilliant results and the newly released Astral Chain is the next stage in the company's evolution.

Last week, we posed the question: has ray tracing finally found its killer app? While Minecraft RTX and Quake 2 RTX have amazed us, it's Remedy Entertainment's PC version of Control that's our genuine contender in the triple-A space.
