The developer of 2021’s Buck Up and Drive, Fábio Fontes, has been showing off his work on the upcoming sequel. While it’s still early in development, things look to be progressing well on the title.
If you’re unfamiliar, Buck Up and Drive, it’s similar to Out Run if it was taken to its furthest extremes. You not only race against time, but you also flip the hell out, performing absurd stunts that look like your car got stuck in the level geometry, and the physics don’t know how to cope. There’s also drifting and rail-grinding, the normal sort of thing you’d expect from a racing game. It was part of my list of 2021 games you might have missed, which is what I did before just making the usual top 10 list every year.

Buck Up and Drive 2 looks to be expanding on that. I’m not sure how that’s possible, but Fábio Fontes obviously has the answer: driving on walls. Do you remember the Spider-Mobile from the 1970’s Spider-Man comics? It’s a lot like that but less dumb. Also shown off is character customization. I’m not sure why, but I’ll take it.
Buck Up and Drive 2 is built in the Godot Engine, probably because Fontes had a falling out with the GameMaker Engine following their move to a subscription model. Thankfully, the billboards have returned for the sequel. Some players complained about the original game’s common use of pride flags as billboards, so in response, Fontes added a “Pride Flag Billboard Toggle.” When toggled, it simply adds more pride flags. Respect.
Buck Up and Drive 2 is coming to PC. There is no stated release window, as it is still early in development.

City builders offer endless hours of entertainment as you shape and manage your own cities, savoring the successes and weathering the hardships along the way.

Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League’s Insider episode 3 is out and offers a look at what players can expect after finishing the campaign. There are leaderboards to compete on, with solo, duo and four-player squads having separate rankings. Beating someone’s score even allows for a Rival Taunt, which sees one of the Suicide Squad taunting them in “creative” ways when they log in.
In addition to letting players capture the adorable creatures known as Pals, Palworld allows gamers to nab human NPCs as well. The new open-world adventure game from developer Pocketpair has only just launched in early access, but its already drawing plenty of attention and developing a considerable fan base. Within days of its premiere, Palworld marked a notable Steam concurrent player milestone, and it seems to be continuing to build momentum.
Viseo game publisher 2K has revealed a ton of details on WWE 2K24, including its cover stars: Cody Rhodes, Bianca Belair, and Rhea Ripley. This year’s wrestling simulator is getting a host of new features, including a Wrestlemania-themed Showcase mode and a roster filled with legends like Andre the Giant. It launches on March 8 (with an early access release on March 5) for PlayStation 4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, and PC.
Palworld players are discovering glitches and exploits aplenty in early access, one of which lets you "get high off your balls" in a very literal sense.
Shortly after the launch of Palworld, a player posted a clip of how they were able to make a ridiculously high jump in the game. The Palworld player used specific game mechanics to make the jump and showed others how to do the feat.
Destiny 2 is finally adding a feature so essential to MMOs that it's still baffling to think it didn't already have it: the option to redo your character's look anytime, anywhere.
Palworld doesn't just let you capture Pals, it also lets you trap human characters in tiny balls and then treat them like mind-controlled pets, something Pokemon has never allowed you to do.

Baldur's Gate 3 has a hidden exploit for Honour Mode that lets you save scum. While the mode typically doesn't let you exit the game without saving, there's a workaround for this, preventing the game from making an exit save, and therefore, letting you go back to a previous save file.
A Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 player created an incredible mockup of a long-requested game feature, the gun camo challenge tracker. The mockup, which was shared online, was so well-designed that it fooled many into thinking that it was real.
