If you're sick of spawning in midway through an Arc Raiders game, Flashpoint's made it easier to get into fresh lobbies
It’s so disappointing in Arc Raiders when you load up your backpack for a serious venture topside, only to spawn in when the match is already halfway done – all the best loot spots will have been emptied, and those Raiders who have any sense will have left by that point. It can feel a bit pointless; merely an effort in getting out with your expensive loadout intact. The new Arc Raiders update, Flashpoint, added quite a lot, with new weapons, Arc threats, and map conditions as the headline features. One important thing that has perhaps flown under the radar,…
MindsEye is adding a new mission which will ‘share some of the evidence’ of alleged studio sabotage, CEO says

Dave Filoni explains why Darth Sidious only appears in a handful of The Clone Wars episodes, and we might have his cloak to blame
Star Wars: The Clone Wars remains one of a galaxy far, far away’s leading lights – an animated epic that delves into the intimate stories surrounding the rise of the Empire and the fall of the Republic.But that attempt to zero in on iconic heroes and villains mostly doesn’t extend to Darth Sidious, the moonlighting Chancellor Palpatine who would soon become Emperor.In advance of one-time ally Darth Maul’s return in Maul – Shadow Lord, new Lucasfilm president Dave Filoni breaks down why Sidious only shows up in a handful of integral moments during both The Clone Wars and the Rebels…
Arc Raiders patch protects your precious custom loadouts by lowering the odds of spawning late in a server full of freeloaders
Ho, wasteland packmules and sticky-fingered ornithologists! Embark have released a sizeable Arc Raiders update. Titled Flashpoint, it introduces a new shotgun, SMG and deployable together with a Close Scrutiny map condition, a fresh breed of Arc enemy, some cosmetic bundles, and a feeding boost for Scrappy the loot chicken, which will cause him to dig up a wider variety of more valuable items. As warned, they’ve also permitted all those awful Shredder things from Stella Montis to infest the other maps. The most welcome changes and additions could be the furtive “quality-of-life” adjustments. For example, if you have a custom…
Marathon has received its latest patch, this time fixing a move exploit that Bungie says is “unhealthy” for the game.Players have been discovering that if they pull out equipment or use the Thief’s grapple device during slide cancels they don’t lose momentum.Developer Bungie has now informed players that it has removed this glitch in its latest version 1.0.5.2 patch, stating that while it might be fun to share clips of it on social media it’s not good for the game’s intended pace.“One of our core philosophies for Marathon is that rapid repositioning and aggression must always have a meaningful cost,”…

MindsEye's new mission will feature "evidence of the sabotage" the studio have faced, CEO claims – I double-checked and the quotes came before April Fools
Well, that’s certainly a bold strategy. Mark Gerhard, CEO of MindsEye developers Build a Rocket Boy, has said that the studio are indeed planning to add a new mission to the game which will “share some of the evidence of the sabotage”. That’d be the sabotage from a malevolent third party which the exec’s been alleging MindsEye faced around launch for a while now, with Gerhard also claiming that an investigation into it is currently in the hands of “authorities” in the UK and US.

The Super Mario Galaxy Movie ending explained: how many post-credits scenes are there, all the Nintendo cameos, and does it set up a Super Smash Bros. movie?
The Super Mario Galaxy Movie ending is seriously powered-up, so you’d be forgiven if much of it flew by like a portly plumber being propelled out of a Sling Star.The sequel to 2023’s Super Mario Bros. Movie, The Super Mario Galaxy Movie takes to the stars for galactic adventure to save Princess Rosalina from the clutches of Bowser Jr. For fans of the classic 2007 3D platformer, much will be familiar, but the movie also incorporates elements from across Mario and wider Nintendo history, even incorporating crossover characters like Fox McCloud, from the Star Fox series.As such, there’s a lot…
