This week sees the return of a racing veteran, along with some infamous 2D miscreants to brighten up your gaming library.
Gran Turismo Sport
Release date: 18 October 2017 (PS4)
GT Sport continues the long-running racing franchise, but injects an edge of sport (as the name would suggest), focusing on the more performance-based vehicles that keep the world in awe.
The game promises a level of innovation unseen since the series’ debut, and there will be 137 “super premium” cars available, with all being been rebuilt from the ground up with cockpit views.
In addition, there will be 19 locations and 37 track variants. Admittedly, we did think the GT series needed a bit of a shake-up, and this might just propel the franchise back into pole position.
South Park: The Fractured But Whole
Release date: 17 October 2017 (Xbox One, PS4, PC)
South Park: The Fractured But Whole, the follow-up to The Stick of Truth (which comes free with the purchase of the new game), will take players on an all-new outrageous superhero-themed adventure through Matt Stone and Trey Parker’s bizarre animated world, allowing you to create your own costume, craft your own superhero origin story, and build your own unique superpowers as you progress.
There’s no doubt this tongue-in-cheek RPG will be ridiculously hilarious.

Hey Jeremy, just a heads up, Age of Empires : Definitive Edition has been pushed back to early 2018, with no set release date. The reason they gave was so that they can do additional testing on all of the games’ various modes as well as to increase the scope and add more content to the remake.
