Today in video games - 28th August: is Skate any good, a Starfield gameplay revamp, and layoffs at Crystal Dynamics

Today in video games – 28th August: is Skate any good, a Starfield gameplay revamp, and layoffs at Crystal Dynamics

The week rolls on, like the wheels of a skateboard, and we’re back with another daily report, gathering today’s news and features in one place. A place we can talk together, like a community, in real-time. Imagine!

What’s on the board today? We’ve had an evening with the new Skate now – I refuse to accept the game’s horrible name formatting – so we’ve had time to formulate our thoughts. We also awake to news of more layoffs in the industry, sadly, at Tomb Raider developer Crystal Dynamics, which cites “evolving business difficulties” as the reason why. Beyond that, we continue to plough through our Gamescom backlog to share impressions of the games we saw.

But more to the point, I was just asked a very good question by my partner who said – she mercilessly interrupted my typing – which games am I still looking forward to this year. I’m horrendous at answering questions like this because my mind clears like a flock of pigeons chased by children every time anyone asks – games, what are games? – but I thought you’d know. So allow me to steal your excitement for a moment; which games are you still looking forward to?

The day begins.
