I desperately want the Just Cause creator’s new open-city game to be great, but I’m not convinced by its latest trailer

The gaming community has been seeking an engaging open-world experience similar to those from the Xbox 360 era, particularly with the upcoming release of Grand Theft Auto 6. Samson, an open-world game developed by Liquid Swords and created by Cristofer Sundberg, features a protagonist named Samson who returns to his hometown of Tyndalston to settle a significant debt using various methods. The gameplay requires players to meet a daily cash quota to manage debt interest, incorporating an "action points" mechanic that limits mission availability. The game showcases a gritty aesthetic with muscle cars but has received mixed reactions due to concerns about repetitive combat mechanics and sparsely populated environments. A notable moment in the gameplay trailer features Samson throwing a wrench at an enemy with a humorous quip. Samson is set to launch on April 8, and there is hope for its success despite the current work-in-progress feel of the trailer.

‘This is suspect’: Scarface game modder claims surprise PC ‘remaster’ was listed without the film IP owner’s knowledge

An HD remaster of Scarface: The World is Yours has been released, but concerns about its legitimacy have arisen, prompting the publisher to temporarily hide the store page and enter discussions regarding licensing and technical issues. The original game, released in 2006, appeared unexpectedly on the Epic Games Store and Steam, with claims of an "optional HD graphics upgrade." However, it was discovered that the version sold on Epic Games is essentially the existing PC version with fan-made patches. The developer of one of the patches expressed surprise at the lack of communication about their work's inclusion and speculated that the rights holder for the Scarface movie may be unaware of the release. Players are advised to avoid purchasing the game until further clarification is provided. Additionally, a sequel to Scarface: The World is Yours was once in development but was ultimately shelved, with concept art and footage surfacing online in 2022.
