Pacific Drive motors toward release in February

SNEG continues their effort to preserve classic PC titles by releasing another long list of Strategy Simulations Inc. (SSI) and Mindscape games on Steam and GOG.

To put it lightly, arcade racers struggle to succeed in this day and age. Big budget attempts are almost extinct, and indie efforts unfortunately rarely make an impact, regardless of quality. What's the answer, then? How can drift-obsessed, arcade racing, petrolheads get their over-the-top kicks? Well, here's one answer — make it a single mode, and stick it in one of the most popular games on the planet.

A new trailer has just emerged for Test Drive Unlimited: Solar Crown, and it's probably the game's best showing so far. The Hong Kong-set open world racer has been a long time coming, and it finally looks like it's ready for the road.

NVIDIA's GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER, 4070 Ti SUPER & 4070 SUPER launch dates have been revealed in an embargo document leaked by Videocardz.

After years of working, we released Alan Wake 2 a bit over a month ago. We wanted to create an ambitious, unique game, and with something like that there’s always nervousness about how it will be received. The reception has been beyond anything we could have hoped for, with Alan Wake 2 taking home The Game Awards trophies for Best Narrative, Best Art Direction, and Best Game Direction. We are deeply grateful for that. 

If you were put off by the idea that Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League is an always-online game, I have some good news: Rocksteady Studios confirmed that it will make the story mode available offline, but only after the game releases.

Payday 3 might've failed to wow, but there's reason for heist fans to remain cheerful: GTFO studio 10 Chamber — which was co-founded by Payday 1 and 2 veterans including designer Ulf Andersson — has announced Den of Wolves, a sci-fi take on the Payday formula.

Pacific Drive will trundle to PS5 on the 22nd February 2024, developer Ironwood Studios has announced, following a previous delay out of its original 2023 window. The strange driving-survival game, which we really liked the look of when we previewed it earlier this year, is well worth keeping an eye on if you're a fan of risk versus reward gameplay.

Survival driving game Pacific Drive will be coming out for PS5 and PC on 22nd February 2024, it’s been announced by developer Ironwood Studios and publisher Kepler Interactive. Check out the new trailer.

I don't drive myself, and while that's mostly because I can't afford a car, don't really need one for work and have wibbly environmentalist sensibilities, it's also because the experience of driving, for me, has been thoroughly spoiled by videogames. I mean, just look at this trailer for Ironwood's Vandemeerian vehicle survival roguelike Pacific Drive. How am I supposed to drive on some stupid road after watching that? What's the point of cars if there are no floating cryptid lifeforms, inexplicable walls of energy or lost research facilities involved?

Premium Hong Kong watchmaker Anicorn is selling a set of Sega Mega Drive and Genesis watches for $800 each.

Pacific Drive is set to rev up its engines and pull out of the driveway on 22nd February, across PlayStation 5 and PC (via Steam and Epic Game Store).
