This week in games: Play Prey as a toilet paper roll, install Doom on a Porsche, and more - pannelltion1953

We already wrote about it earlier this week only here's a monitor: The Ghost Recon Wildlands demonstration marketing stunt open beta runs this weekend, and then if you're uninterested on Saturday and want to give the game a spin before plunking kill $60, straightaway's your chance.

What else happened this week? Overwatch teased a new hero, Field 1 teased a untested…something, Prey showed off its sewer paper physics, Humble decided to sell a billion hours of Civilization for $15, and someone installed Doom on a Porsche 911. Sort-of.

This is gaming news for February 20 to 24.

Each of Civilization

If you've heard 25 years of Civilization praise and thought "I should toy those games some day," I have one blaze of a get by for you: Most of the Civilization games, packed into a bundle.

A Low Bundle, that is. $1 gets you Civilization III and IV, beating the average (presently close to $8.50) gets you Civilization V, and paying $15 gets you Beyond Earth. Each unlock gives you each game's DLC, too. Doing whatsoever rough math here, that's roughly 10,000 hours of game for the toll of a exclusive San Francisco cocktail. Non rubber.

Speaking of Civilization, the Civ VI DLC train keeps resounding. Normally that wouldn't be too notable, but the latest faction is a Culture first: Australia, represented away Premier John Curtin, he of World Warfare II (among other things). Hera's a first look.

It's like-minded fantasise-Commonwealth of Australi

It's definitely a week for 4X DLC, as Tot up War-hammer showed bump off its in vogue faction too. There's a 12-moment deep nose dive into Bretonnia here, but more to the point is this short "in-locomotive engine cinematic trailer" focused on King Louen Leoncoeur's shiny Knights of the Kingdom. Seek it February 28.

Animate Fire

If you'd asked me "What does Titanfall 2 need?" I doubt I would've said "More multiplayer modes and mode-specific maps," and even so here we are: The latest update adds "Live Fire," a 6-on-6 elimination where rounds take only a minute. It joins like, incomplete a dozen other modes cipher plays.

The good news though is that Respawn's also introduced "mixtape-style matchmaking" therein latest update, presumptively letting you lookup multiple playlists in real time. Hopefully that means some more than activity on the lesser-populated modes.

Kid genius

At that place's rearing conjecture over Overwatch's next hero following a blog situatio this week by "Efi Oladele," an 11-year-old golem enthusiast and succeeder of the Adawe Foundation's "Sensation Ulysses S. Grant." The major hypothesis? That the side by side hero is not Oladele herself, but one of her robots. The alternative: Rash's actually sledding to let you headshot an 11-year-honest-to-god. Eventually.

S.O.S.

Battlefield's got its have mystery running, too. The backstory connected this one's a bit complex, but answer it to say in that location are Morse encode messages hidden throughout the game, which then direct players to another secret locations and so on and so forth until they earn…a dog tag. And perchance the start to a unaccustomed closed book? We'll see. Kudos to YouTuber jackfrags for documenting this laughably convoluted Easterly Testis.

The mental next step

A fond, official leave-taking to Illogical Games this week, as Sight Levine and Co. announced a name change for the studio, rebranding the latest endeavour American Samoa Spook Story Games. It's to a greater extent a bygone conclusion than anything, as the Irrational that made BioShock Infinite was already dead-and-buried after laying away almost complete its employees in 2014.

Merely still. Now IT's authorized.

The levelheaded of silence

3D audio is a hot-release issue in practical world circles these days, given how important sound is for making objects and environments feel "echt." There are quite few solutions in the works and a few already out there, but this week Valve tossed its large hat in the ring out with the free Steam Audio SDK. If you'ray interested I recommend staying tuned to GDC news next week, surgery check out the below video for a quick demo—albeit combined where the effect seems a bit ended-inflated.

Concluded-the-top

The sole thing I took away from this latest Quarry trailer is that you can play through the game as a dirty roll of bathroom tissue. Sold-out.

The DLC part

Subterminal we detected of Deus Ex, Feather had put the series on hold favorable Humanity Divided's poor sales. With World Divided ending on a cliffhanger and apparently no resolution in the come near future, it's a bit hard for me to recommend buying the game's DLC.

But maybe you're a diehard Deus Demode fan and this news just substance you need to play every last bit of Deus Outmoded you can get your hands on. In that shell thither's a new story missionary station out this week, subtitled "A Criminal Past." Trailer below:

Main road to hell

The "Destine on a dumb thing" course continues, sort of. This week, it's a (sadly fake) video from YouTuber vexal, in which Doom is fake-installed on a Porsche 911. Once more, for posterity: Information technology's fake.

Still hilarious though. (Via PC Gamer)
