As the Rock Paper Shotgun team recovers from a busy travel schedule, they've shared their varied plans for the upcoming weekend, which include diving back into multiplayer shooters, exploring narrative-driven RPGs, and even attending car races.
James is aiming to join the closed beta for Wardogs, hoping to focus on its logistical elements by transporting crates with a truck, away from the game's combat. Edwin plans to utilize a loaned gaming laptop to test more graphically demanding titles, including Blood of Dawnwalker, and intends to finish Pathologic 3. He is also seeking recommendations for recent, high-end games, inquiring about the status of the Silent Hill series and the Jak & Daxter franchise.
Mark is taking a break from gaming after two weekends focused on vampire-themed titles. He will be attending a car race near Darlington instead, seeking shade despite applying sunscreen. Ollie and his companions are returning to The Finals, finding the experience as chaotic but enjoyable as they remember, and aim to gain more control in their matches.
Jeremy is continuing his playthrough of Blood of the Dawnwalker, detailing his character's morally complex journey. He recounts a scenario where he opted to defeat all guards with starter equipment to free a character named Mert the Miller. Callum, in a more abstract note, has ventured into the woods with friends, contrasting this with the perceived physical limitations of his older colleagues.
Julian is dedicating time to Star Wars: Zero Company, progressing his galactic campaign turn by turn while preparing for an upcoming review. He is also contemplating how to address the game in the context of EA's acquisition and the furloughing of 80% of the studio's staff prior to the game's launch. Outside of gaming, Julian plans to bake a ginger and orange treacle tart.
