Godfall hits the nail on the next-gen launch game head: All style, very little substance. Granted there’s some fun to be had but once the next-generation glitz wears off what’s left is a repetitive slog through levels that quickly get old.

Sandwiched between the launch of two next-gen consoles, and roughly 73 trillion games, the remake of cult classic cel-shaded shooter XIII probably flew under your radar. That’s not to say that the game didn’t have fans, but those people who decided to slap down some cash for nostalgia? They weren’t exactly happy with the end result, which saw a memorable tale of a Bourne-again fella with amnesia reclaiming his memory one bullet at a time, reduced to a stock standard shoot ‘em up.

Customisation will play a large role within Cyberpunk 2077, but in news that the British fans of the soon to be released game will appreciate, you’ll also be able to alter your not so pearly whites. Spotted on Reddit via VG247, the German Facebook group for Cyberpunk 2077 confirmed that options for your chompers and nail length will be available for your avatar.

The PlayStation 5 arrives in a digital edition package, while the Xbox Series S also forgoes the disc drive in favour of a purely digital experience. On launch day, that meant that gamers were downloading a lot of new and old gaming content to their new devices. Internet usage in the UK spiked harder than a volleyball serve (I started watching Haikkyuu on Netflix), with Destiny 2 and Call of Duty being the primary culprits that almost murdered the UK internet on November 10, according to the BBC.

The developer shared some fascinating statistics behind the beloved game and teased the future of the franchise.

If you played the Call of Duty: Black Ops: Cold War beta recently, you probably noticed that everyone treated the multiplayer as if the stages were coated in Vaseline. Sliding around in a manner that would embarrass even Vanquish, Cold War players exploited the action to get a leg up on the opposition.

For Microsoft, the launch of the new Xboxes has been a feather in its cap as Xboss Phil Spencer revealed on Twitter that “more Xbox consoles had been sold, in more countries, than ever before” this week. Spencer’s definitely right about the number of countries that got their hands on the chunky unit: A grand total of 37 including us here in sunny South Africa were launch day ready, which is a heck of a lot better than the paltry 13 regions that the Xbox One rolled out in back in ye older gaming days.

The only Xbox Series S size comparison that truly matters.
