What to Expect During the Upcoming Thunderful World Digital Showcase

As previously mentioned, the Thunderful World digital showcase will be hosted by Star Wars’ Mark Hamill and will feature updates on previously announced games like The Gunk, Cursed to Golf, Planet of Lana, and more, alongside unannounced new titles.

Joining Hamill during the show will be Thunderful Group CEO Brjánn Sigurgeirsson, Corporate Vice President at Xbox Sarah Bond, and a “few other surprise industry partners.” Speaking of Xbox, Thunderful is partnering with both Xbox and The MIX for this event.

Planet of Lana was one of the most-talked about games from Geoff Keighley’s Summer Games Fest kickoff event and is a cinematic puzzle adventure that has striking visuals that evoke a hand-painted piece of artwork. The Gunk is another big title and is being developed by Image & Form, the team behind the SteamWorld Dig games.

For further context, Thunderful is also the company responsible for such titles as Industria, Lonely Mountain: Downhill, Say No! More, and both Bridge Constructor: Portal and Bridge Constructor: The Walking Dead.

Horizon Forbidden West's robot animal population will make use of ideas that couldn't be achieved on the first game in the series – including different behaviors, abilities, and weaknesses.

In a new post on the PlayStation Blog, Guerrilla Games designers revealed new details about a variety of Horizon Forbidden West's machine creatures. With the new game comes new possibilities, so the team wanted to explore new areas in the game and how different types of machines would live in various ecological zones, such as bodies of water.

“During Horizon Zero Dawn’s development, we had a ton of ideas — of course not everything could make it into the first game, but now with Horizon Forbidden West we’ve been able to match some exciting ideas that previously weren’t feasible with new and interesting concepts," said principal machine designer Blake Politeski.

The machines have different behavioral patterns that Aloy can take advantage of. For example, she can use the dust that a machine kicks up while digging for resources as her own cover and sneak up on it. Additionally, the machines in Horizon Forbidden West are more mobile than before. They can jump, swim, and hold on to surfaces. As such, Aloy has new tools to adapt to these new threats such as smoke bombs and the ability to climb.

Of course, alongside new behaviors there are new machines, too, which have been designed to fit Forbidden West's new coastal setting. The Sunwing, a flying machine that's larger than Horizon Zero Dawn's Glinthawk, uses its wings to collect solar energy during sunny weather. While they are vulnerable when harvesting solar power, they are also more alert to surrounding threats when idle.

Speaking of vulnerability, every machine has also been designed with multiple means to defeat it. "We tried to make it clear for players through the machine design, and added textures to show the weak points or interactive components," explained asset art lead Maxim Fleury. "You’ll need to study each machine closely to find different ways to approach it.”

Aloy is also able to override more machines, allowing her to ride them, or even change their behavior, making them more aggressive or defensive.

The narrative reasons for machines' existence have also been thought through. The Tremortusk was revealed back in May, a huge war elephant-like machine, which was created to protect other species so they could carry on their duties without human interference.

Horizon Forbidden West launches on February 17, 2022, for PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5. Check out some of the new tools that Aloy has at her disposal, such as the Pullcaster and Shieldwing, as well as some of her new gear that offers new skills.

Rockstar has released a number of screenshots for Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy on Nintendo Switch ahead of the game's release later this week.

The screenshots, which can be found on the Switch section of Rockstar's GTA Trilogy page, show off a range of different remastered scenes from across the three games included in the package.

Included within the set are a number of iconic GTA characters from way back when. While GTA III's Claude can be seen strolling through the streets of Chinatown, there's also a shot featuring Tommy Vercetti and Ken Rosenberg, and another showing CJ from GTA San Andreas' pictured mid-motorbike chase. As can be seen below, there are also a number of more scenic vistas shown off in the collection including the series' Hollywood parody Vinewood and Vice City's Ocean View Hotel.

While it perhaps shouldn't be too hard to improve upon the graphics of the original titles in the series – given that they were released almost two decades ago – there's still something to be said for the work that Rockstar has done. From the images shown, the trilogy looks as if it will shape up well on the Switch, where design choices seem to have both bolstered each games' visuals while also retaining a retro feel.

It's worth pointing out, however, that certain lighting elements and textures do look to be of a lower quality than other editions of the game on console and PC – we'll be able to get a much better sense of the scale of those differences when the collection arrives.

GTA: The Trilogy – The Definitive Edition launches on November 11 for PS5, Xbox Series X|S, Switch, PS4, Xbox One, and PC. For more on the series make sure to check out this piece detailing how you can pre-load the game across a range of platforms now.

Disney+ day is almost upon us on November 12, and to celebrate Disney is giving away 1-month of Disney+ for just $2 (see here). This is available for new and returning users, presenting the perfect opportunity to jump back into the streaming service.
