A sexy collection of stories detailing the development of Sega’s biggest arcade game sellers, Space Harrier, After Burner, Hang-On, Out Run, Thunder Blade and Power Drift by games writer Keith Stuart, but it’s also presented in format where you can construct paper replicas of those cabinets. Just look at the glorious arcade origami that Helen Friel and Kam Tang came up with.

With Toy Fair 2020 around the corner, Hasbro is popping an early announcement, detailing how Tiger Electronics have been resurrected. Like the consoles of yesteryear, they’ll do what Tiger did best: Create cheap disposable gaming devices with easy controls, a decent battery life and hopefully they’ll be as durable as their predecessors, devices so rugged that not only could they survive a nuclear war but the arguably more destructive force that is a toddler whacking away at the console.

The Game Developers Conference, an annual gathering of game developers who cover the everything there is about making a video game in the modern age, won’t see team blue on the showfloor. Sony has been especially cautious in the wake of the Coronavirus outbreak, cancelling an appearance at PAX East (Where new The Last of Us Part II gameplay was scheduled to be shown) and now confirming via Games Industry that they’ll be skipping GDC as well lest PlayStation system architect Mark Cerny’s amazingly soothing voice be at risk before he has a chance to show off the PS5.

Dying Light, a video game that has not only survived half a decade but has thrived. Techland’s fantastic zombie sandbox took everything that was great about their previous effort Dead Island, fine-tuned the parkour and raised the stock price on toilet paper whenever the sun went down and the more dangerous Volatile crawled out from their UV light avoiding holes. With that prime number behind it, Techland is looking to celebrate one again with a fresh update, one that’ll introduce Darryn-mode to the game.

Blackbird Interactive, the studio behind Homeworld: Deserts of Kharak and the upcoming Homeworld 3, and Focus Home Interactive are pleased to announce Hardspace: Shipbreaker. With true-to-life physics and demolition effects, a sandbox of creative destruction lies before you this Summer on Steam Early Access. Put on your suit and get a first look of the life a space cutter in its Debut Gameplay Trailer.

A new series of missions, Starbirth, will take players through the ancient Korvax experiments that led to the birth of these sentient starships. Players who wish to incubate, grow and ultimately fly their own living ship should visit the Space Anomaly and follow the call of the Void Egg…

Long story short, gaming next year is going to look and sound absolutely amazing.

Warner Bros. Montreal and their rumoured Batman game has so far encompassed everything from a new prequel pitting the dark knight against the Court of Owls, a proper sequel focused more on fear than ever before to a spin-off starring Damian Wayne under the cowl. One aspect of Batman mythos that hasn’t been touched on yet? The idea of a Batman who takes up Bruce Wayne’s mantle long after the caped crusader laid his war on crime to rest. A new hero for a new age where Batman needs to go…Beyond.
