This Is the Police, the game about a cop on the cusp of retirement who has to decide just how far he's willing to go to feather his nest, will be out on July 28. Developer Weappy Studio revealed the date today alongside a new gameplay trailer that highlights some of the unsavory things you might have to do to make a half-million dollars in a serious hurry.

 

FALLOUT 4 ADDS AUTOSAVES UPON EXITING, INCLUDING FOR SURVIVAL MODE

Bethesda rolled out version 1.6 of Fallout 4 today, which delivers a few nice changes, but one in particular. After its introduction in beta, it's now live: the addition of exit saves. If you exit to the main menu while playing, a save file will be created. Upon loading that save, the file will be deleted. The key benefit is for those players using Survival mode, as prior to the update they would have had to find a bed to sleep in before being able to save and quit their game.

We got more DLC for Fallout 4 than anyone was anticipating, but that run is finally coming to an end. Bethesda's VP of marketing, Pete Hines, confirmed on Twitter that August's Nuka World will be the final instalment.

 

A FREE TRIAL VERSION OF NEED FOR SPEED IS NOW ON ORIGIN

“It’s not only boring,” we said in our review of the PC version of Need for Speed that came out earlier this year, several months behind the console releases, “but so bereft of ideas that it represents a series running dangerously low on creative fuel.” That's not exactly a whip your wallet out kind of recommendation, is it? But now you can take it for a spin without forking over any cash at all.

 

CALL OF DUTY: ROMAN WARS WAS ALMOST A THING

http://www.pcgamer.com/call-of-duty-roman-wars-was-almost-a-thing/

Activision's Call of Duty franchise, despite being split into two relatively distinct branches—the future and the past—is very deeply rooted on a familiar premise: Guys with guns shooting at other guys with guns. But as GamesRadar reports, there was a time when Activision toyed with bolder visions for its famous military FPS, including a Call of Duty game set in ancient Rome.

 

LATEST F1 2016 TRAILER FEATURES AUSTRIA'S SPIELBERG CIRCUIT

http://www.pcgamer.com/latest-f1-2016-trailer-features-austrias-spielberg-circuit/

Austria's famous F1 circuit Spielberg (or as the money bosses like to call it, the 'Red Bull Ring') will feature in F1 2016. That's no surprise, because the track has featured in F1 games for quite some time, only this time it looks better. Only marginally better, but still, judging by the video above it's getting increasingly difficult to tell real from fake when it comes to serious racing sims.

 

THE EVOLVE WEBSITE IS COUNTING DOWN TO "STAGEUP"

http://www.pcgamer.com/the-evolve-website-is-counting-down-to-stageup/

The asymmetric FPS Evolve has struggled pretty much from the moment it hit the ground. We actually liked it, but six months after our review it had fallen out of the top 100 games on Steam, and its peak user count today is just 157. According to Steam Charts (because Steam itself doesn't go that low), that puts it just below Bus Simulator 16 and the 13-year-old Star Wars game Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy. But it ain't dead yet.
