Bethesda has laid down some of Starfield's backstory, detailing the events which take us from 2023 to 2330 - when the game's story is set. Bethesda's timeline begins in 2050, when humans first arrive on Mars.

Ask me to pick two moments that sum up Final Fantasy X and I'd probably roll with 1) Yuna dancing on the ocean at Kilika to send the souls of the dead to the Farplane, and 2) Tidus performing a Sphere Shot in Blitzball. The first because it's a mesmerising performance of grief and transcendence, the second because it's patently daft in the best of ways. Blitzball, in case you... Read more ›

I'd thought that the era of console leaks was over and that the platform holders had battened down the hatches to minimise the flow of unauthorised information to little more than a trickle of unreliable hearsay, but it's looking like Sony in particular may have a problem. The evidence suggests that imagery and even a video of the second generation revision of the PlayStation 5 has reached the public. The... Read more ›

I had been waiting for this for ages: my first night dive. Listen: doesn't the night transform things?

Tall buildings picked out with those gorgeous red lights on the corners, trees rendered as cavernous congregations of clasping branches. And underwater? Underwater at night? What would that...
