We’re DOOM’d.
Well folks, another week has come and gone, which means it’s time to reveal what we’re all going to be playing this weekend. Before we do, however, let’s see what’s been going on this week.
First up, Monolith Soft is recruiting for what it simply describes as a “new RPG”; chances are it’ll probably be a new Xenoblade title for Nintendo’s upcoming hardware, but who knows. Elsewhere, DOOM + DOOM II got a new release on the Switch eShop courtesy of iD software, Nightdive Studios, and MachineGames (more on that later), while we reviewed what we think is one of the best 2D action-platformers on Switch with Volgarr the Viking II.

Dead Rising Deluxe Remaster will be released in roughly a month, and as more news trickles in, it has been discovered that the upcoming remaster has removed the ability for players to take an “erotic” photo.
As noted in a new report from Famitsu (spotted by Eurogamer), Dead Rising Deluxe Remaster’s photography mini-game has removed the “Erotica” genre from photos taken by the player. In the original game and its subsequent 2016 re-release, there were 6 types of photos depending on what Frank photographs. A photograph with a specific photo genre would award players with an additional Prestige Point (PP) bonus for the picture. The Erotica genre specifically was available when players took pictures of certain angles of a female human or zombie character.
While the Photography mini-game is almost entirely optional, as it is not required to take pictures when completing the main story, the mechanic plays a role in several side missions Frank can complete. Regarding the omission of the Erotica genre, two optional missions require Frank to take Erotica photo(s). So, it remains to be seen how those missions will be altered due to the removal of the photo type.
Capcom did not immediately respond to IGN’s request for comment.
Otherwise, Capcom appears to have put a lot of effort into improving the overall gameplay of Dead Rising. As Capcom has previously revealed, the upcoming Deluxe Remaster has improved survivor AI, making it easier to escort survivors to safety, and a new control scheme that allows players to move while aiming, in addition to providing fully voiced NPCs, realistic lighting, and improvements to facial expressions.
Dead Rising Deluxe Remaster is out on September 19 digitally or November 8 if you prefer to obtain a digital copy. For more, check out the recent gameplay deep dive featuring the game’s director and producer.

With Call of Duty, one of Microsoft’s most valuable gaming IPs, finally hitting Game Pass, Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick expects the popular first-person shooter to boost subscriber numbers for the service “for at least a period of time.”
Speaking with IGN’s sister site, GamesIndustry.biz, Zelnick told the publication that he believes including Call of Duty on Game Pass will push consumers to subscribe to the service, at least for some time. “I think that offering a frontline title with a premium price in a subscription service, day and date, will push consumers to that subscription service for at least a period of time,” Zelnick explained to GamesIndustry.biz.
Though Zelnick explained that Microsoft’s decision “won’t affect [Take-Two’s] decisions” and its approach to handling gaming subscription services. The company has dabbled with subscription services, like GTA+, a premium membership designed for avid GTA Online players.
Zelnick’s comments came the same week Take-Two Interactive announced its quarterly earnings, where the company reported total net bookings of $1,22 billion for the quarter while also revealing that GTA V has exceeded 200 million units solid. Zelnick revealed that while there is currently a video game voice actor strike, the company does not expect its business to be impacted by the publisher in the short term. This includes GTA VI, one of the most highly anticipated games of 2026, to remain unaffected by the strike.

Sometimes I want to play a video game, and sometimes I just want to assemble a quiet little Dutch town with iron bridges, fountains and dinky trams bustling about like bumble bees. The project in question is Tramstertram. Aside from being a terrifying feat of punmanship, it’s a browser-based building toy from Matt Stark, creator of the really rather lovely Viewfinder.
