    Forza Motorsport Promises a 'Generational Leap in Fidelity'

    Makes sense when you figure the last Forza Motorsport only came out on the Xbox One.

    Given that the last Forza Motorsport game, Forza Motorsport 7, came out literally one console generation back, I don't know if Turn 10 means that this...

  • The Day Before Delayed Again for Another Dubious Reason

    The Day Before Delayed Again for Another Dubious Reason

    Just another excuse from developer Fntastic.

    The Day Before is (allegedly) an upcoming Unreal Engine 5 powered open-world zombie survival MMO. It's (allegedly) in development by Fntastic, a studio with a less than stellar reputation. Still, The Day Before ended up becoming one of Steam's most wanted titles for a while after its initial reveal and the small handful of subsequent media releases.

    The Day Before has already been delayed at least once, with the reason being...
