Star Wars Jedi: Survivor Story Trailer is Light on Story
Finally, a story trailer that doesn't just spill the entire can of beans.
EA and Respawn Entertainment just released a new story focused trailer for Star Wars Jedi: Survivor. Unlike many other story trailers for games, this one doesn't exactly reveal much of the plot. At least, I don't think it did. It was kept vague enough while showing a bunch of quick scenes.
Still, if you don't want any spoilers at all, it's best to avoid this trailer.

Since that time, the Counter-Strike community has gone a bit rabid in their desire for a Source... -

A new mode was added to the stellar Disco Elysium today that allows players to create the photo opportunity of their dreams. So long as their dreams are entirely about the content within Disco Elysium.

Far Cry 5 Receives 60fps Patch on Xbox and PlayStation
You will need a newer generation console for this, of course.
In honor of the game's fifth anniversary, Ubisoft rolled out a new 60fps patch for Far Cry 5. This update, out now on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S will allow you to run the game at a much higher framerate than what you were used to seeing on consoles.
This 60fps update doesn't seem to include anything else. Meaning, you won't see any next-gen graphical bells and whistles here. I am reading from some users... -

Redfall Story Trailer
There's more to Redfall than simply slaying vampires.
If you thought that Redfall, the upcoming action title from Arkane Austin was purely about slaying vampires, you would be mistaken. Sure, there is a lot of that vampire slaying going on but there's also something a little extra going on. A little something that studios like to call "a story."
The latest trailer for Redfall shares with us information about the game's plot. That plot that seems to involve a... -
