EB: There are two must-play new video game releases this week, as well as a smattering of other titles that may suit your fancy. The two heavy hitters are Destiny: The Taken King, and Forza Motorsport 6, both of which should make fans of the respective franchises very happy.
The details here outline what we know about Kings Fall, including its gear, challenge modes!
Looks like we have some new modifiers to go with a brand new raid.
Not much is known about these yet, but in addition to the level 42 Heroic (hard mode), theres other challenge modifiers.
Destinys new expansion, The Taken King, isnt due out until next week but some players have found the new enemies early. They arent killable at the moment but you can still see them if you want.
Samuel Howitt: "When a game goes open-world youd expect a certain level of compromise. You dont expect a game structured like that to have the same level of detail that you would expect from Metal Gear Solids linear entries. Yet somehow Kojima Productions have expanded their standard meticulousness to a remarkably huge open world. With that they have also created the most easily playable entry in the entire series. Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain is something special that doesnt come too often, a game so brilliant you just wish that other games would start learning from it."
Dealspwn: We've not seen any spectacular prices for 12 month PlayStation + subscriptions for a while, but it's always worth pointing out the best prices we can find as they're always cheaper than the default RRP.
Today Koei Tecmo and Gust released a new bacth of screenshots of Yoru No Nai Kuni, that will hit the Japanese shelves for PS4, PS3 and PS Vita on October 1st.
Since Metal Gear Solid 5: The Phantom Pain released, one of the most interesting things about the game is that it appears there was more content than anyone could have fathomed.
Dave Thier:
"The past two months have seen two of the most open world remarkable games in recent years: Metal Gear Solid 5, Hideo Kojiimas absurd swan song, and The Witcher 3, CD Projekt Reds sprawling medieval fantasy epic. Both these games are true accomplishments, and more than worth your time. Comparing them might seem like a pointless exercise in the abstract, but were not living in the abstract. For the gamer that only has enough money/time to commit to one of two of these games: its an important decision. Not everyone has 40-50 hours to commit to a big game like one of these, and even fewer have 80-100 hours to commit to both. So we assume for a second that we know you want to play a gruff man exploring a broad open world that dances between fantastical and grounded. So whos it gonna be: The Witcher 3s Geralt or Metal Gear Solid 5s Big Boss?"
Today Gust and Koei Tecmo released a large batch of screenshots of Atelier Sophie: Alchemist of the Mysterious Book, that will release in Japan on November 19th.
Kotaku: Today wed like to introduce Kotakus Splitscreen, a brand new video podcast hosted by us, Kirk Hamilton and Jason Schreier. You know. The two dopes up there.
In our pilot episode, which you can watch right here, we talk about Metal Gear Solid V, Final Fantasy VI, and what wed do if we were in charge of the Assassins Creed franchise. We also debate the best horse in recent video game history.
Josh from SR writes, "After gracing the PS3 back in 2010, GoW III Remastered offers veterans and newcomers alike the chance to dive back into a classic. The results of this rehash are simply cosmetic, and hardly warrant a re-release."
Last week Final Fantasy XV Game Director Hajime Tabata told Peter Brown that we'll play his new game next year. Peter and Alexa join Danny to discuss how this is possible.
