Next-Gen Face-Off: Battlefield 4 | Eurogamer.net

 Posted on July 4, 2023  |  10 minutes  |  2080 words  |  Mittie Cheatwood

After running our preview comparison of Battlefield 4 exactly one month ago, it was startling to see how great the advantage proved for one platform in particular; a shocking signifier of the form all future next-gen comparisons might take. The PS4 had the higher internal resolution, a considerable performance lead in motion, and the addition of extra effects such as horizon-based ambient occlusion entirely missing on Xbox One. But now, with the retail releases out in the wild, we can see to what extent this disparity is set in stone, and whether DICE's implication of further tweaks to the Xbox One release actually makes up any ground.

Like many of the blockbuster PlayStation exclusives that have come before it, Hideo Kojima's Death Stranding is getting its very own limited edition PS4 Pro bundle. Complete with a translucent yellow controller and a matte white PlayStation with some handprints slapped on the top, the bundle releases the same day as the game on the 8th November. Alright, so the handprints aren't just slapped on, they actually have little maps within them in the shape of the world's continents, and there's some lovely golden text with the game's title on the front.

Shocker! Five Nights at Freddy's World is out now

 Posted on July 4, 2023  |  3 minutes  |  434 words  |  Patria Henriques

Five Nights at Freddy's World - the RPG spin-off of Scott Cawthon's popular horror series about animatronic animals in an abandoned pizza joint - is out now available on Steam for £6.99 / $9.99. That's somewhat surprising as it wasn't expected to come out until 19th February. I say "somewhat surprising" though as Cawthon is known for releasing games early, as he did with the last three Five Nights at Freddy's entries. [Read More]

For Link's 25th birthday, Nintendo got him a book: a handsome, glossy-papered volume with a Hylian crest embossed on the front in gold foil and a title that should send an electric charge racing through the fingers of anyone who's ever spent a lazy afternoon scudding over the Great Sea or scrabbling up the rusty pathways towards Death Mountain: Hyrule Historia. Now publisher Dark Horse has brought the Historia to the West, with a full translation - crucially, this includes the designer's scribbled notes that accompany the hundreds of sketches - even nicer paper and a slightly larger form factor.

Hyper Scape, Ubisoft's reasonably entertaining entry in the already well-represented free-to-play battle royale genre, has only been out three months but already the publisher is looking to overhaul the experience in order to reach its "full potential".

Mission objective: Find creature lab. Oh, Borderlands, never relent. Keep throwing me into weird DLC offshoots where Pandora becomes home to buccaneers, professional wrestlers and armour-plated Bullymongs. Keep sending me up against monster-of-the-week bosses and the deranged lunatics that created them. Keep churning out new continents to add to this dusty, extravagantly devastated world, and keep stocking them with loot chests, Eridium drops, and, well, mission objectives like Find creature lab.
