Gothic is getting a remake, as “unambiguous feedback” from fans spurred publisher THQ Nordic into action (via Resetera). A fantasy action role-playing game, Gothic was released for PC in 2001. It was pretty popular in Germany, and became a fully-fledged series with Gothic II, Gothic 3, and the spinoff Arcania: Gothic 4 released in 2002, 2006, and 2010. The rights for a fourth game were bounced around for a bit, and they were returned to the developer Piranha Bytes in 2011....

These characters were revealed through several Twitter posts on July 11....

While it’s safe to assume that the WCW booking committee had nothing to do with the new Titanfall 2 update, I can only imagine developer Respawn Entertainment were thinking about the glory days of Jim Crockett Promotions when naming one of its new maps: War Games. ‘War Games highlights the civilian shops, tall buildings for window-to-window fighting, and city streets for Titan combat from the Battle of Angel City, and the large, open tank garage facilities for hand-to-hand Pilot combat from the Battle of Airbase Sierra,’ a post from the game’s community manager reads on the the Titanfall forums....

Titanfall’s three DLC packs are currently available to download for free on Xbox One and Xbox 360. The three packs introduce a total of 9 new maps to last year’s top multiplayer shooter, with each pack usually priced at £7.99 each. It isn’t clear whether the offer is a glitch or a permanent price drop, so it might be worth grabbing them as soon as possible to make sure. The PC version’s Season Pass is still listed at £21....

Despite its poor sales and reputation, the Wii U had some stellar titles that many Nintendo fans never got to experience. Thankfully, the Switch’s massive success has led to many of these games being rescued from obscurity and released on a console that more than a handful of people actually own. Tokyo Mirage Sessions #FE Encore is the latest game to be saved from the abandoned Wii U library. If you fancy yourself some insane, turn-based JRPG action, then there may be nothing better on the Nintendo Switch....

Life can be a lot less bother when you hover. Think of Exile, the 1988 marvel that cleverly crams an entire alien world and its belligerent fauna into the scrawny 32k memory of a BBC Micro. Chief among the game’s chaotic pleasures is its nifty jetpack, empowering your stranded space captain to explore the hostile planet Phoebus and its clever tangle of interlocking physics systems. As modes of transport go, jetpacks are often more about pluck than precision....

Writer-directors John Musker and Ron Clements have a hell of a track record at Disney. As key figures in the studio’s animation renaissance in the 1990s, they brought The Little Mermaid, Aladdin (the original one), and Hercules to the screen before the House of Mouse finally gave them a crack at their pet project – Treasure Planet, an outer-space adaptation of the classic Robert Louis Stevenson novel Treasure Island. Featuring the voice talents of Joseph Gordon-Levitt, David Hyde Pierce, and Emma Thompson, the 2002 film reimagines Jim Hawkins as the tearaway teenage son of a single mother who obtains a digital treasure map from dying pirate Billy Bones....

Activision’s been keeping its lips tightly sealed with regards to any information about what’s going to be next for its famous shooter franchise Call of Duty. Right now Infinity Ward, Sledgehammer Games, and Raven Software are allegedly hard at work on their own Call of Duty, likely the highly expected Modern Warfare 3. Anticipation for Modern Warfare 3, however, might have started to overshadow the huge success that Black Ops achieved....

It’s hard to believe that it has been ten years since the release of the last proper console entry in the Twisted Metal series, Twisted Metal Black.

Of course, all that is all set to change this October when Twisted Metal blasts back into action on the PlayStation 3....

Twitch appear to be following Valve in making slow but decisive moves against the CS:GO gambling ‘scene’, and have today closed the channel belonging to ‘Phantoml0rd’ citing terms of service violations.

It also appeared that Phantoml0rd may own CSGOShuffle....
