Set to begin on the 20th October, the closed beta test for Tekken 8 will be used to showcase the game's unique 'Super Ghost Battle' mode. First explained during a Tokyo Game Show presentation last month, these AI-based fights sound pretty cool, as player data is used to create incredibly accurate 'ghosts' that anyone can fight against. In theory, this will let you test your skills against friends or even pro competitors without actually having to match up with them.
In the video above, one of Tekken 8's developers goes up against a ghost of himself — and it's rather impressive to see just how accomplished the AI seems to be.
And again, the beta will give you a glimpse of how it all works. «Have you ever wanted to prepare your next fight against your friends or anyone in the online lobby?» asks Bandai Namco's official website. «With TEKKEN 8’s Super Ghost Battles, it’s not just a dream anymore – it’s a feature! When hanging around the TEKKEN Fight Lounge, you will be able to launch a Ghost Battle against through the profile of players who are in the same lobby.»
It continues: «Super Ghost Battles start a fight against an AI based on the fighting style of the player you got the ghost; the more they fight on TEKKEN, the more their Ghost Battles will be accurate.» It'll be really interesting to see how these ghost fights factor into the way that players learn and adapt to the game.

This is your last chance to register for the beta, however. If you took part in the previous Closed Network Test, then you'll be allowed in automatically, but everyone else will have to sign up through the official site.
Robert's been a dedicated PlayStation fan since the days of Tekken 2, and he still loves a good dust up. When he's not practising combos, he's usually getting lost in the latest 100-hour RPG, or, y'know, replaying The Witcher 3.

Rocket League is one of the weirdest games that have become massively popular in the last few years. Who would've thought that combining arcade-style football with vehicular mayhem could be the recipe for success? It seems like Epic Games did. In the game, players can choose from a multitude of crafted vehicles such as high Octane, Dominus, and Marauder, while there are real-life vehicles to choose from as well, among the likes of Porsche 911 Turbo, Ford Mustang Shelby GT350R, Ferrari 296 GTB. There's even a Batmobile! Players can trade in-game items with their friends such as import cars, blueprints, post-game drops, Rocket Pass items, and more.
I haven't got round to Ghostwire: Tokyo yet, but its in my back pocket for whenever I'm in the mood for visiting beautiful, digital Tokyo.

Ghostwire Tokyo gets a bad rap. This supernatural thriller is a bizarre magical FPS filled with all manner of weird and wonderful creatures, tasking you with uncovering the truth behind a vanished city. It might not be the traditional survival horror we expected from Resident Evil creator Shinji Mikami’s Tango Gameworks, especially following The Evil Within games, but you shouldn’t pass up the opportunity to try Ghostwire Tokyo for free.
Tango Gameworks' spooky open world action/adventure game Ghostwire: Tokyo can now be grabbed for free on PC via Prime Gaming. Subscribers simply need to head to the page, link their Epic Games Store account, and will see the game added to their library. Just like with all Prime Gaming offers, it is only available for a limited time; in this case, you should unlock it in the next 27 days.

The sun is setting on another blissful week of gaming, but the release calendar is so utterly stacked there's still tons of titles to look forward to. Here's what we're playing this weekend.
Regular readers will know, perhaps rather unusually, I love trains. I’ve been covering Train Sim World in intimate detail for years now, much to developer Dovetail’s pleasure. (I will get around to reviewing Train Sim World 4 by the way, it’s just the schedule’s been brutal for me this past month. Also, maybe the studio would like to slow down just a touch with the sequels and expansions so I can catch up?)
Hot Wheels Unleashed was a distinctly pleasant surprise when it launched a couple of years ago, marking a much-needed departure for put-upon motorcycle developer Milestone. While the game handled like a dream – and had some stunningly rendered toy car models, particularly on the PS5 – it lacked variety and had a strange post-release content model, which straddled the line between live service and traditional Season Pass.
