You play as one of four Ghostbusters - or alternatively as the ghost they’re trying to bust. (Yes, including Slimer.) Ghostbusters get a familiar array of Proton Packs, Ghost Traps and the like to wield as they try to pin down the sneaky spirit. Alternatively, you can float around as a spook and spread fear until you are judged as having successfully haunted your surroundings. It’s worth noting the Ghostbusters characters in the game are new, though you’ll be based in the iconic firehouse and be able to brush shoulders with both Winston Zeddemore and Ray Stantz (Ernie Hudson and Dan Aykroyd) who make appearances as NPCs....
Wouldn’t it? Potential business venture aside (let me know if you want in) there is now a game about exactly this: putting together mosaics. You can either refer to a picture of what it’s supposed to look like while piecing it together, or you can feel your way blindly through it. It’s up to you and your difficulty setting. The game is called Mosaic Chronicles and it has just come out in Early Access on Steam....
Stadia’s misfortunes are, of course, well-documented; despite initial praise for the service’s streaming capabilities at launch in 2019, a slow, problematic roll-out meant Google failed to capitalise on initial consumer interest. The extent of Stadia’s failings started to became clear when the company announced it was closing its first-party game development studios less that 14 months after launch, with subsequent reports claiming the streaming platform was missing its targets for monthly active users by hundreds of thousands....

In an interview with GTPlanet (thanks, VGC), Yamauchi was asked if he would “consider” following the recent trends set by Sony first-party titles like God of War, Horizon Zero Dawn, and Death Stranding by taking the latest instalment, Gran Turismo 7, to PC. “Yes, I do think so,” Yamauchi responded when asked if Polyphony Digital could do the same. “Gran Turismo is a very finely tuned title,” Yamauchi added. “There are not many platforms which could run the game in 4K/60p natively, so one way we make that possible is to narrow down the platform....
After a half-hearted apology that asked players to take a longer-term view, Polyphony Digital has seen sense to deliver a more fulsome response, gifting players with a million in-game credits and outlining the near-term updates for Gran Turismo 7 that will address the problems. A new update is promised in early April that will make greater moves to improve the in-game economy, as detailed below: Increase rewards in the events in the latter half of the World Circuits by approximately 100% on average....
Taking a page out of the Fortnite playbook, Halo 3 is getting a raft of new customisation options, including what are called back accessories. These new customisation options, which do not affect gameplay, are live now in the Halo: The Master Chief Collection flight (the version of the game where upcoming features are tested). Most of the currently-available back accessories are in-keeping with Spartan armour (check some of them out on Halo Waypoint)....
Before I go on, I want to stress that Halo Infinite runs beautifully on my Xbox Series S, and pretty much all my games have been free of glitches and bugs. But I just had to cover this particular bug because, well, it’s so cute. And funny. There’s an odd bug in the game right now that appears to shrink some of the vehicles down to child size. Really. Here are some examples that have emerged since last weekend, starting with a tiny Warthog....
As announced last week, Hearthstone will soon get a big shake-up with the introduction of a new 235-card Core Set, which replaces the previous Basic and Classic sets. There’s also a new Classic Format, so you can play Hearthstone exactly as it was when it launched back in 2014. All of that arrives at the start of the Year of the Gryphon, which sorts and expands spell cards into seven-type groups, and also brings new expansion Forged in the Barrens....
The video below sets the scene for the campaign, which sees Master Chief fight back against the Banished forces on Zeta Halo. The campaign, visually at least, seems to be in better shape than it did last summer. There’s plenty of trademark Halo chaos, which incorporates the tools players got their hands on during the recent multiplayer technical preview events. There’s a Tacmap, which displays objectives: There’s an upgrades tab, too: It all feels a bit Ubisoft open-world trademark....
Stray looks like a lot of fun and something very different to other games. Eurogamer’s Lottie Lynn said in their review article “Stray captures the essence of being a cat, while delivering a deeper journey through a dying cybercity.” If you’re excited to play Stray, you can buy the digital version on the PlayStation Store for £24.99 and on Steam for £21.59. PlayStation Plus Extra and Premium members have access to it through the Game Catalog so there’s no need to purchase it....
These additions - as well as some nice tweaks to the game’s visuals, such as improved reflections and shadows via ray-tracing, Intel XeSS support and variable rate shading, are all free and on the way over the coming months. But Year 2 kicks off sooner than all that - next week, on Thursday 20th January - with a flurry of other bits and pieces. Beginning on the 20th, PC players will be able to play the entirety of the Hitman trilogy in VR, with two handed VR controller support letting you fist fight, throw projectiles and hold guns as you would if you were a merciless assassin in real life....

This project is reported to be in development with Korean Studio NCsoft, which is most famous for publishing the MMORPG Guild Wars and its subsequent sequel. A source familiar with both Sony and NCsoft reportedly told Korean news site MTN the two companies have “tentatively agreed to pursue a business partnership in which NC will create new games using Sony’s promising game IP”. The report goes on to state that NCsoft’s internal development team was “producing a new game of the Horizon IP created by Guerrilla Games” as its first franchise collaboration....
The Chant is the second game in as many weeks to prioritise its current-gen console launches, following the recent cancellation of Gotham Knights for PS4 and Xbox One. A fresh trailer has shown off the game’s story, and confirmed its lack of current-gen consoles: The Chant is the first project from Vancouver studio Brass Token, which was formed a few years back by veterans of fun Hong Kong open world game Sleeping Dogs and Rockstar’s schoolyard classic Bully....

Magazine articles teased a multi-character, Zelda-style action adventure set in a beautiful dino-inhabited world. It was shaping up to become one of the largest games Rare had ever produced but before it reached the finish line, the game was cancelled and development shifted to the Nintendo GameCube, where it became Star Fox Adventures. Dinosaur Planet became a ’lost’ game then, never properly seen outside of Nintendo until recently, when a surprisingly complete build salvaged from development hardware appeared....
It’s a seismic shift for the Polish developer, which has shipped all of its titles from The Witcher 2 onwards on its own engine - but to be clear, while the REDengine’s days are numbered, it is still the core foundation of Cyberpunk 2077, so the upcoming expansion for that title will still be based on the same technology. Beyond that, however, it seems that Unreal Engine 5 is the future....
