The Bulletstorm: Full Clip Edition, a remastering of the sadly overlooked People Can Fly shooter from 2011 that features a healthy dose of Duke Nukem for some reason, will be out on April 7—that would be this Friday. And if it does well enough, as Meredith Hershey and Vincent Slaven of Gearbox recently told DualShockers, it might finally get a sequel.

 

Terraria: Otherworld update reveals a new 'development partner'
http://www.pcgamer.com/terraria-otherworld-update-reveals-a-new-development-partner/
It's been a couple of years since the announcement of Terraria: Otherworld, the followup that is not a sequel to the 2011 crafting-and-survival game Terraria. Developer Re-Logic hasn't had much to say about it since, but today it took to its forums to share some "important news." The good news is that the game is still in the works; the bad news is that co-developer Engine Software has been dropped from the project for reasons unknown, and that means it may take a little (or maybe a lot) longer than expected to get things done.

Twitch has announced that the ability to buy games directly through its platform, a new feature that was first revealed back in February, is now live. The option will enable developers to make special offers to fans who are watching their games being played on the platform, and will also let partnered streamers earn money off of purchases made through their channel pages. Buyers will also be rewarded with free "Twitch Crates," which will contain randomized drops of items for Twitch including emotes, chat badges, and Cheer bits.

For those living on the bottom side of the world and hanker for some modern arena shooter shenanigans, don't worry: we haven't been ignored. Quake Champions will be getting Australian servers, meaning we won't suffer the lag and jitters that so often ruin games without local infrastructure.

 

Dark Souls 3 update 1.32 out now, nerfs The Ringed City's light arrow-spouting angels

Despite the fact some Dark Souls players can take down its toughest bosses scantily clad, at Souls Level 1, and on New Game Plus 7, The Ringed City DLC is easily one of the series' trickiest outings. With this in mind, its latest update 1.32 installs a number of buffs and nerfs which should aid faltering players—not least by toning down those blasted lighting-spewing angels of the Dreg Heap.

According to this graphic posted by Reddit user Oberdiah in December last year, Ana, McCree and Genji are the best competitive Overwatch characters. Now, before you sound off with your own favourites, you may be interested to know that a jetpack-operating feline character almost made it into Blizzard's fast-firing first-person shooter.

SMAC and Mode 7's action stealth 'em up Tokyo 42 has so far wowed us with its multiple mission approaches, frantic Cop Drops, and Syndicate-versus-Grand Theft Auto likeness, however its striking open world is arguably its most endearing asset. In its latest developer-led diary, Paul Kilduff-Taylor chats with Maciek Strychalski—the latter of whom is solely responsible for the game's art—about the game's gorgeous architecture and how it came to be.
