This week in games: Fallout 4 teaches the value of Strength, Ubisoft builds a theme park - lopezdresse

It's a short week, which I guess means nothing at all really happe—Hold back, Ubisoft is opening a theme park? And there was a new Fallout 4 video and the first Tribes update in two geezerhood?

I present your play wrap-up for the week of September 7-11.

Free weekend

If you're looking for something original and zero-cost to play this weekend, you take in two very different options. 2K will let you slog through the implacable tactical demise marching notable as XCOM: Foeman Unknown—one of the greatest scheme games of the death few geezerhood—while Unplumbed Silver has unleashed the Saints Row: The Third and Saints Row IV madness.

You commode play all three games for free from now until Sunday, September 13 at 10 AM Pacific, and as always you'll find the games waiting in your Steam Library tab for installation. They'll also be selling at a deduction over if the free weekend sinks its meat hooks into you.

You're S.P.E.C.I.A.L.

New Fallout 4 video? New Fallout 4 picture.

Bethesda also announced details connected Fallout 4 DLC this week, though the gage's not out for a couple of months unmoving. There will be a $30 Mollify Turn over that covers every extra Fallout 4 subject matter, and the first bits will launch in early 2022. Atomic number 102 word yet whether you john buy up each piece severally. Mod tools (the Creation Kit) will besides hit in early 2022.

Uncurled to the source

Dota 2 is idle. Long live Dota 2. This week Valve pushed the Dota 2 "Reborn" update live, which transitions the game onto the Source 2 engine, completely overhauls the interface, and introduces Made-to-order Games. I want to say "IT's a whole new stake!" simply…it's still beautiful much Dota 2. Antimonopoly much shinier.

Resurrection

Speaking of free-to-play games being reborn, in that respect's in reality news almost Tribes: Ascend this week. You May remember it as "That gage everyone genuinely loved until Hullo-Rez abandoned IT to go work on Smite." Asymptomatic I guess Smite is fashioning Hi-Rez plenty money that Tribes is now second along the table, starting with this update. I never thought I'd see the day.

Whether Tribes can recapture people's interest and reconstruct trust with the community after a 2-year hiatus, I don't eff. But I'm tentatively interested.

Information technology won't end

Not since the days of Uwe Boll have I seen so many misguided attempts at turn video games into films, and the hits just keep in coming. Hadrian Askarieh—better proverbial as "the bozo WHO produced that deep Triggerman movie this summer"—told IGN this week just about his dreams for a Just Cause 3 picture. Choice quote:

"If everything was wholly up to me, information technology would be Just Causal agency, Hitman, and Lara Croft in the synoptical universe, and Deus Ex would be the future of that existence and Thief would be the chivalric. Regrettably, I Don River't have Lara Croft, and Hitman needs to be a big hit for that to happen. Only I think Just Cause can be in the Hitman Universe or IT can get on its own."

Thank immortal Hitman is sounding like it'll act middling returns at best. Lay a bullet in the mind of this abyssal idea.

Under the sea

Chassis is aaaaaaalmost here, so I opine IT's sentence to work up trailers. Check out this short Beast mystifier down the stairs:

Pickings you to shoal

Rainbow Six Beleaguering is held up until December, merely Ubisoft is going ahead with a planned beta period at the end of September. Don't have access yet? You can head to this "Art of Siege" internet site and jump through approximately hoops to get a beta key.

Turns down the biggest obstacle in the Art of Besieging is remembering your Uplay report info.

Leaping of faith

No word until no on whether you'll as wel need a Uplay describe to access Ubisoft's new "next-generation" theme park. Yes, theme Mungo Park. Yes, in the real world.

Ubisoft announced plans this week to build a theme park in Malaysia, complete with rides based on Assassin's Creed, Just Dance, and Rabbids. "Together we are creating a put on where all Guest is a player, every ride is a resort area, every visit is a mettlesome," said Ubisoft's Jean de Rivieres (via GameSpot).

I pot't wait to see a mascot dressed-up up like this:
