The theme is exorcism, and Faith begins with you, a priest, driving along a road and parking by a forest, then getting out and walking into the trees. You’re going to finish what you started, with or without the Vatican’s permission, you’re told, and that’s really all you know. Faith is a game that doesn’t tell you much because working out what you’re doing is part of it. Mechanically, though, you can’t do much: you can walk around and hold up a cross....

Writing on Twitter last night, creative director Jake Solomon and senior franchise producer Garth DeAngelis released a joint statement explaining that the “very tough decision to delay” would be used to “add more story, cinematics and overall polish”. “We know many fans were looking forward to playing the game originally next spring, and this decision did not come lightly,” the pair wrote....

We only got to see a short CGI trailer as a tease, which featured robot enemies and some of that derelict lunar research station mentioned by indie developer Lunar Software 10 years ago. After its initial announcement in 2012, Routine received some development updates, but got delayed multiple times, and here we are ten years after with the Summer Game Fest trailer, which you can check out below. The game feels reminicent of Dead Space, much like the gameplay for Callisto Protocol does, but with a first person perspective....

That’s coming from FTC lawyer James Weingarten, who took part in a pretrial hearing on Tuesday to discuss Microsoft’s proposed acquisition of Activision Blizzard for a record-breaking $69bn. Back in December, the FTC revealed its intention to block Microsoft’s acquisition of Activision Blizzard, claiming should the deal be allowed to proceed, it would enable the company to suppress its fellow games industry competition. “Microsoft has already shown that it can and will withhold content from its gaming rivals,” the FTC’s director of bureau competition Holly Vedova stated at the time, while also referring back to Microsoft’s previous acquisition of ZeniMax....
