Outriders developer People Can Fly are looking at Blizzard's classic Diablo games for inspiration towards carrying on the story of Outriders.

There are still those who are willing to get up at the crack of dusk and boot up their console to find him for you. People who’ll risk digital life and limb to let you know if Xur is selling a treasure or rubbish. I just so happen to be one of those people. Maybe you’re stuck at work and can only log in later tonight. In that case: Where is Xur?

Fans of retro gaming are going to need to be a little bit more patient because one of the hottest new devices to play the grimiest of video game cartridges you have gathering dust in the corner of your cupboard, has been slightly delayed. The Analogue Pocket, which was originally due to ship in May, will now only be arriving in October.

Doom 3 was scary in 2004, its legacy was cemented in a spiffy remaster a couple of years later, and chances are that it’ll be even more capable of ruining your pants when experienced via the extra FPS power of the PlayStation VR. Doom 3 VR hit shelves this week, and if you’re looking to score the game for the low price of nothing, then here’s your chance.
