Hitman 3 will improve the first two's reflections and install size

A new Hitman 3 gameplay video shows off Ian Hitman’s first few minutes in Dubai, the dystopian city beloved by the likes of Jim Davidson and #sponcon #influencers. He’s come to do murders during the opening of the world’s tallest building, and it is a pretty one. The video from Game Informer doesn’t show much sneaking or murdering, but it is nice-lookin’. Some of the technical improvements for Hit 3 will benefit the first two games too, one of the game’s devs has revealed, including fancier reflections and a smaller install size.

Have You Played… Prototype 2?

Have You Played? is an endless stream of game retrospectives. One a day, every day, perhaps for all time.

The only reason I know the name of Prototype 2’s protagonist (Sgt. James… hang on, let me be sure… yeah, Sgt. James Heller) is because I just Googled it. I think the story involved the playable goodie from the first game turning bad and infecting people with some type of supervillian zombie disease. Also your wife… and daughter (?) are dead.

What are we all playing this new year weekend?

Hallo again, and a happy new year to you! We’re slowly rousing from our slumber before RPS returns on Monday the 4th but while I’m briefly up to grab a wheel of cheese to gnaw on in bed, I may as well ask: what are you playing this weekend? New year, new games? New gaming habits? Though I understand old habits die hard, I say after falling back into The Binding Of Isaac over the hols. But enough about me, officially I’m not even here; what’s up with you?

The best game you missed in December 2020: Suzerain

As 2020 goes kicking and screaming into that good night, we’ve rounded up some of the best games from the year that we didn’t end up covering. Check the Best Game You Missed tag for more.

December has provided a bounty of games at the long-awaited death of a hideous year, but its greatest and most unexpected treasure is already clear to me.

Suzerain is the modern successor to Hidden Agenda, an ancient political simulator I once described as “possibly the greatest political simulator ever made”. A fictional nation still bleeding from civil war has just overthrown a dictator, and elected you to lead it into whatever future you think is right, just as the world begins to light up with the countless devastating proxy wars of the 1950s. It is superb. The game, I mean. Not the wars. Those are very bad.
