Next week will see another company entering the console wars, which is Google with their new cloud-based Stadia console. While the console promises to offer similar gaming experiences to that of the PS4 and Xbox One, the main difference is that you’ll be able to get those experiences entirely through streaming.

If you’re curious, Google has now revealed the 12 games that will be available to stream at launch, as well as 14 others that will be added by the end of the year.

Launch Games

Assassin’s Creed Odyssey (Ubisoft)
Destiny 2: The Collection (Bungie)
GYLT (TequilaWorks)
Just Dance 2020 (Ubisoft)
Kine (Gwen Frey)
Mortal Kombat 11 (Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment)
Red Dead Redemption 2 (Rockstar Games)
Rise of the Tomb Raider: 20 Year Celebration (Square Enix)
Samurai Shodown (SNK)
Shadow of the Tomb Raider: Definitive Edition (Square Enix)
Thumper (Drool)
Tomb Raider: Definitive Edition (Square Enix)

Releasing by end of 2019

Attack on Titan 2: Final Battle (Koei Tecmo)
Borderlands 3 (2K Games)
Darksiders Genesis (THQ Nordic)
Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2 (Bandai Namco)
Farming Simulator 19 (Focus Home Interactive)
Final Fantasy XV (Square Enix)
Football Manager 2020 (Sega)
Ghost Recon: Breakpoint (Ubisoft)
GRID (Codemasters)
Metro Exodus (Deep Silver)
NBA 2K20 (2K Games)
Rage 2 (Bethesda Softworks)
Trials Rising (Ubisoft)
Wolfenstein: Youngblood (Bethesda Softworks)

It’s a pretty solid selection of games all things considered, though there’s also the fact that many of these games have been available on other platforms for quite some time. These games are also being sold at full price on this new platform, despite the fact that you can get many of them for a third of that price elsewhere. It will be very interesting to see how gamers take to this console, as there’s nothing here to pull people in outside of Stadia’s unique way of delivering its gaming experience.

Google Stadia launches on November 19th.

Diablo 4’s post-launch support will keep you playing for years, according to Blizzard. General manager Rod Fergusson confirmed two expansions and free content updates.

“As I sit here, we’re about to launch the main game; we’re finishing up season one; we’re working on season two; we’re working on expansion one; we’re kicking off expansion two,” he told PC Gamer on the Kinda Funny Xcast. These two DLCs may release sooner than expected. Fergusson says the live service model lets Blizzard release content faster than Diablo III.

With tens of hours of content in the base game, Diablo 4 is massive. This could be Destiny 2 or Genshin Impact, with seasons and DLC. That thought excites or frightens you. Leave a comment and check out our Diablo 4 guide for help with the PS5 and PS4 games.

RoboCop: Rogue City features agonizing one-liners and a darkly humorous picture of a future that demands justice. GameSpot posted a preview of the game.

While the gameplay doesn’t look particularly exciting, the visual intrigues us. RoboCop is the perfect video game protagonist, so we’ll keep an eye on this one.

September brings RoboCop: Rogue City to Old Detroit. How’s it going? Are you intrigued?

Phantom Blade Zero’s unfathomably ambitious PS5 game won’t have microtransactions

Phantom Blade Zero, the next PS5 action game, may have improved. The developers’ Q/A Discord server revealed that the game won’t include microtransactions.

Each weapon has its own move set and combos to learn. Unsurprisingly, FromSoftware’s addictive (and innovative) gameplay style is an influence, but the goal is to be approachable. We like Star Wars Jedi: Survivor’s Soulslike mechanics.
