Batman: Arkham Knight's Batmobile made it the best playable game at E3

Some demos offer only a glimpse of the finished game. Batman: Arkham Knight played like the full game, thanks in part to the Batmobile. "Arkham Knight is like sitting down to watch Batman Begins after enduring Schumacher's Batman & Robin." I was lucky enough to see and play a lot of games at E3 last week. Some I got to see for literally minutes and play for even less, some I got to play for too long and had to politely make for the exit.

God of War: New game set after God of War 3, will not be open world

The new God Of War game will not be open world, making parenting that tiny bit easier. The new God of War game looks fantastic, with the E3 trailer showing Kratos and his son roaming around the wilderness foraging for their dinner. As you may have already surmised, the game takes place after the events of God of War 3, something confirmed by Sony Santa Monica creative director Cory Barlog in an interview after the show with YouTube Live at E3.

Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3 character roster - how to unlock every character

Square Enix might have taken flak for its almost-but-not-quite versions of the movie Avengers, but there’s another Marvel game that you can play right now, packed to the rafters with superheroes more faithfully recreated from their comic-book designs. Here’s the full character roster of heroes we’ve seen so far in Marvel: Ultimate Alliance 3. The Black Order hit Nintendo Switch on July 19. Interestingly, many of the available characters on the roster hail from franchises whose movies have been held to ransom outside of the main MCU, so it’s fun to see them back on the team where they belong.

Doom Eternal cracks 100,000 concurrent players on Steam

Doom Eternal had a solid launch weekend on Steam. Shortly after it launched on Friday, Doom Eternal cracked Steam's top ten in concurrent players. The numbers kept going up, eventually settling on 104,891 concurrent players over the weekend. That is over twice as high as Doom 2016's peak, at 44,271. It's also more impressive when you consider the fact that, unlike Doom 2016, Doom Eternal is not a Steam exclusive. In fact, the only way to get a Steam copy of Doom Eternal is to directly purchase it through the store.

He's been at it for about ten minutes, surrounded by unopened cans of paint and an assortment of unspoiled brushes, as a group of journalists look on in still anticipation.

Borderlands 3's performance mode is so bad, new report recommends sticking to 30fps mode

Borderlands 3's performance on the upgraded consoles is disappointing. Borderlands 3's technical state on PC is already looking rough, thanks to an assortment of problems that aren't actually all that unfamiliar to series fans. On consoles, however, things appear to be in a worse state. Borderlands 3's big feature this time around on PS4 Pro and Xbox One X is offering players the choice of resolution and performance modes. The former locks the framerate target to 30fps, upping the visual clarity, whereas the latter drops the render resolution in favour of a 60fps target.
