By Judith Rinearson and Kai Zhang In May 2021, the UK‘s Financial conduct authority (FCA) published a consultation paper proposing there would be a “new consumer duty“.[1]  The central proposition is that a firm must deliver “good outcomes” for consumers which is then supplemented by additional requirements.  In particular, the FCA noted in its May consultation: […]

With Steam Deck currently still on track to meet its revised February 2022 release date, there's a lot of work going on behind-the-scenes in preparation for launch, including Valve's extensive drive to rate every game on Steam for compatibility with its highly anticipated portable gaming PC - and the first batch of Steam titles to have received ratings, whether that be a fully compatible Verified or otherwise, have now appeared for perusal online.

Valve first discussed its Steam Deck Verified initiative back in October, announcing it had started reviewing the entire Steam catalogue to create a new compatibility ratings system - labelling games as either Verified, Playable, Unsupported, and Unknown - that would provide Steam Deck users with a simple means of checking how games will function on their system.

The Playstation Wrap Up has arrived - here's how to view it

Aloy's story so far, summarised.

Horizon Forbidden West is very nearly here, continuing the adventures of Aloy as she journey's through the post-post apocalypse. The first game, Horizon Zero Dawn, tells a story wrapped in mystery, as we discover Aloy's history, and that of the game's world, along with the character. What happened to humanity as we know it? Why are there robot dinosaurs everywhere? Who exactly is Aloy, anyway? All these questions are answered, and it's worth knowing all the details ahead of the sequel's arrival on 18th February 2022.

To that end, we've drawn up a full story recap of the first game so you can head into Horizon Forbidden West with your memory well and truly jogged. It has been nearly five years since Guerrilla's original action RPG debuted on PlayStation 4, so hopefully this will serve as a useful reminder, going over the main plot points from the first game and its DLC, Frozen Wilds. Obviously, this feature contains full story spoilers for Horizon Zero Dawn, so click away if you don't want to see them. Let's waste no more time, and jump right into the tall grass. Story recap time.

The script sounds huge.

If you're not playing Dying Light 2 for 500 hours, you will instead be reading 350,000 words and listening to 40,000 lines of dialogue. That's right: Techland has found a few other very big numbers it can boast about on social media, this time relating to the upcoming game's script. For comparison's sake, Skyrim has 60,000 lines of dialogue while Fallout 4 has 111,000.

Techland then compares the Dying Light 2 script to the famous 1878 novel Anna Karenina, which is famed for being one of the greatest pieces of literature of all time. Of course, the studio is only pointing out its game has roughly the same amount of words as the standout novel, but it's quite the comparison to make especially when the story of the original title was so throwaway.
