Someone's leaked Microsoft Flight Simulator gameplay and it looks incredible

 Posted on February 21, 2023  |  3 minutes  |  436 words  |  Fernande Dalal

UPDATE 10th Feb 2020: As expected, the leaked Microsoft Flight Simulator footage has been pulled. The two videos we reported on over the weekend are no longer available on YouTube due to a copyright claim by Microsoft Flight Simulator. This comes as no surprise - Microsoft Flight Simulator is currently in alpha, and those playing it are bound by a non-disclosure agreement that states videos should not be posted. I suspect the person playing the game will have had their access revoked, too, given their player ID was clearly viewable in the footage and, in one video, we see the player on camera. [Read More]

 Posted on February 21, 2023  |  14 minutes  |  2952 words  |  Patria Henriques

Call of Duty: WW2 is my first Call of Duty. This, I'm told, is an odd thing. How could I possibly have managed to avoid playing a Call of Duty game over the last 10 years? Well, Activision's mega shooter series has never sparked an interest in me before. Modern Warfare? I was too busy playing Halo 3. Black Ops? I was into Reach. Ghosts passed me by (I did like Colin the dog, though), and then it was on to Destiny. [Read More]

 Posted on February 21, 2023  |  2 minutes  |  224 words  |  Arica Deslauriers

Uncharted 4: A thief's End just launched yesterday and folks have discovered a couple of very funny, self-deprecating hidden Trophies. As reported by PlayStationTrophies, there's a hidden Trophy called Stage Fright that can be obtained by reenacting the controller malfunction that occurred during the game's E3 2015 stage demo, leaving Nathan Drake idly standing in a market for 30 seconds. Another amusing Trophy is called "Ludonarrative Dissonance," a phrase coined by Far Cry 2 director Clint Hocking to describe the disconnect between a game's narrative elements and its gameplay.
