Kumail is a GAMER:
What's at the top of Nanjiani's to-play list? The actor is currently working his way through Deathloop, the time-looping immersive sim/FPS from the creators of Dishonored and Prey.
"I'm savoring it," Nanjiani said. "I haven't beaten it yet but I think I'm getting closer. I'm traveling for press and I'm like 'I need to beat this game in the next two days.'"
Nanjiani also brings his PS5 or his Xbox Series X with him while he travels for film roles. During quarantine, Nanjiani said he played Gears of War's horde mode every Wednesday with friends, and that Death Stranding and Red Dead Redemption 2 were his primary games throughout filming of Eternals.
Horizon Reviews:
Forza Horizon 5 is currently putting up massive numbers in early access, which actually requires you to shell out some money for the game. But if you want to play it a few days later? All that requires is an Xbox Game Pass subscription for its official release on Tuesday. And it’s pretty clear its going to be huge there.
To me, the launch of Forza Horizon 5 feels like the first shot in a sprawling new era for Xbox Game Pass, one that may entirely change the dynamic of the console industry.
Obviously, Xbox Game Pass has drawn no shortage of praise already, and it has been putting Microsoft first party exclusives there for a while, including Forza Horizon 4. And yet here in the Xbox Series X/S era, I think things are about to change now that Microsoft has armed themselves to the teeth with high profile first party releases, both from its own existing series, and from acquisitions (ie. every future Bethesda game).
Quake News:
Bethesda owns iD Software and Microsoft owns Bethesda, which means iD software -- the studio best known for DOOM and Quake -- is now making Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S console exclusives. There's always a chance the developer will make multi-platform games or experiment with multi-platform releases, but this seems unlikely. Going forward, the safe assumption is that PS5 players will be missing out on iD Software releases going forward, which is a big loss for PlayStation fans, as iD Software is one of the best developers in the industry.
Right now, we don't know what it's working on after releasing DOOM Eternal in 2020. That said, we have a hint thanks to some job listings for the studio, which reveal the team is working on a "long-running iconic action FPS" that will feature "AAA quality sci-fi and fantasy environmental vistas and skyboxes." This sounds like Quake, right?
As you may know, rumors have been claiming that the studio is working on a new Quake game, so these job listings details don't come as a complete surprise.
Quake debuted back in 1996. At one point, it was one of the biggest series in gaming, but this hasn't been the case for a while. In 2017, iD Software tried to revive the series with Quake Champions, but failed. That said, after successfully reviving DOOM, perhaps there are people within iD Software and Xbox who think Quake can be salvaged and modernized as well. Personally, I'm doubtful of this, but if the series is going to have a chance at relevance, a reboot is necessary. And a battle royale mode wouldn't hurt either. While the game's hardcore fans will be expecting a pure arena shooter, the reality is arena shooters aren't very hot right now.
All of that said, we are getting ahead of ourselves. For now, we don't know if this mystery game is Quake. It sounds like it's Quake, but for now, this is unconfirmed speculation.
