Marvel's Spider-Man's final DLC instalment is releasing today, and as a special Christmas present, Insomniac Games is also releasing one of the most iconic suits yet.
Free to anyone that owns the base game, the latest suit players can collect is modelled after the 2002 film directed by Sam Raimi.
The inclusion of the 2002 Spider-Man suit isn't without controversy. After it was teased back in August by Insomniac community director James Stevenson, fans harassed both the developer and Stevenson directly.
Stevenson confirmed the suit's inclusion in the game wasn't in response to that vocal minority, stating "today's release was ultimately in the works for MONTHS and started before the base game even released."
Marvel's Spider-Man and its subsequent DLC releases have been an absolute blast to play, so needless to say we're looking forward to getting into Silver Linings tonight.
The adventure RPG Outward has a confirmed release date of March 26 next year.
Coming to PlayStation, Xbox, and Steam, the open-world fantasy adventure will support both local and online multiplayer, as well as split-screen co-op.
Nine Dots Studio is developing the game with an increased difficulty curve in the hopes of a greater sense of achievement, while also grounding the fantasy world in a bit more realism. It's a choice they say is in response to many other titles in the genre "giving the player freebies all of the time."
For years, Media Molecule's Dreams has been the object of speculation, with many still wondering the fundamental question of "what is it?"
That's likely to change very soon, with the game's first beta beginning on December 19.
The beta's focus will be on the game's creation tools, with some social features also available. There'll also be some mini-games that were made by the design team.
Recent news of Epic's store offering a bigger slice of the pie to developers has inspired Discord to follow suit.
Starting in 2019, Discord will only take 10 percent of games revenue, with 90 percent of sales going to the developer.
"We talked to a lot of developers, and many of them feel that current stores are not earning their 30% of the usual 70/30 revenue share," said Discord in its announcement.
First reported by the folks at Windows Central, multiple sources are stating that Microsoft have two consoles planned for the next-gen launch.
According to the report, the two consoles are being prepared for a holiday 2020 release.
