Questions linger regarding MindsEye's rushed release
The big Summer Games Fest weekend of live showcases and game previews is over, and here's what to expect in this week's game news recap. The big picture 'A delayed game is eventually good, but a rushed game is forever bad' – a quote that still resonates in the games industry. Nowhere is that more evident than in the release of action-adventure open-world title MindsEye. This highly touted game from ex-Rockstar Games producer Leslie Benzies's studio, Build A Rocket, promised a rich single-player narrative and ongoing user-generated content post-launch. It was released on June 10, with not a single reviewer in the world receiving an early copy before launch – usually a red flag. Sure enough, both early and late impressions from reviewers and content creators were largely negative. The game was buggy, unstable, and riddled with technical issues involving performance and artificial intelligence (AI). Its story also ended abruptly. A large number of PlayStation owners refunded the game en masse – the last time this happened on such a scale was during Cyberpunk 2077's troubled PlayStation 4 launch in 2020. The developers are now scrambling to patch the title, likely over the next several weeks, as it is – to quote the community – 'a car on fire'. It simply should not have been released in its current state, even with this relatively quiet sales window before the second half of 2025. This raises a few lingering questions: Who exactly was asking for another open-world action-adventure title that isn't Grand Theft Auto? Did the ex-Rockstar producer contribute meaningfully to the earlier GTA titles? A seasoned veteran wouldn't have allowed a game to launch in such a state. Short beats ASUS Republic of Gamers is teaming up with Xbox to produce the ROG Xbox Ally (standard and X versions), a portable PC launching this holiday season. The Outer Worlds 2 will be released on Oct 30 and will cost US$80 – part of the ongoing trend of triple-A titles surpassing the US$60 mark. The animated superhero series Invincible is getting its own fighting game in 2026, developed by the same team behind the acclaimed Killer Instinct reboot (2013). Resident Evil Requiem (aka Resident Evil 9) is Capcom's next survival horror entry, launching Feb 26, 2026 for PC and consoles. Nintendo Switch 2 has outsold the original Switch by 3-to-1 during its launch in Japan. No Straight Roads 2, from Malaysian studio Metronomik, will be published in 2026 in collaboration with Shueisha Games. Upin & Ipin, the beloved Malaysian children's show, is getting an action-adventure game adaptation due later this year. Marvel Mystic Mayhem, a mobile strategy game, is coming to iOS and Android on June 25. Konami is remaking the original Silent Hill with Bloober Team, which also handled the Silent Hill 2 remake. Games out this week Berserk Or Die is a 2D indie action game where you control a berserker slaying Roman legionnaires from both flanks using keyboard-based combo inputs. MindsEye is an open-world action-adventure game by Build A Rocket, led by former GTA producer Leslie Benzies. Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine – Master Crafted Edition is a remaster of the 2011 sci-fi action title. Wizard of Legend 2 is a roguelite sequel featuring 3D visuals and new combinable magic spells.

Cyriel Dessers minimum Rangers transfer fee revealed as AEK set to spend big on statement signing
Greek Giants AEK are preparing to push the boat out to land Rangers hitman Cyriel Dessers. The enigmatic Ibrox striker has blasted 51 goals in two years in Glasgow but remains a divisive figure among the Light Blue legions. Advertisement Now Record Sport understands AEK are keen to offer him a fresh start in the Greek capital - and are willing to spend big. READ MORE: Lennon Miller has Celtic and Rangers transfer belief as Scott Brown sees something special READ MORE: Celtic book medical for striker as Kyogo set for emotional homecoming – transfer bulletin The Yellow and Blacks were taken over by shipping magnate Marios Iliopoulos last year and he's determined to make a statement signing this summer. They've identified Gers' 30-year-old Nigeria international as the man they want to spearhead their big push to recapture the Super League title they last won in 2023. Advertisement But they will likely have to start the bidding at the £5million mark as Rangers' new American owners prepare to dig their heels in. The previous Ibrox regime spent £4.5million when they signed the former Feyenoord forward from Italian outfit Cremonese in 2023 and new sporting director Kevin Thelwell believes his record of scoring a goal-every-other game in Glasgow justifies a return on that investment. Dessers has been the subject of interest in recent windows, with his agent Stijn Franics revealing earlier this year that he had as many as TEN clubs sniffing about his signature in January. None could come up with the cash Gers were looking for and he stayed on to finish the campaign in Glasgow only one shy of the 30 mark. Cyriel Dessers celebrates scoring the opening goal Selling Dessers would free up some fresh funds for new boss Russell Martin to spend. Advertisement Andrew Cavenagh and his partners from the San Francisco 49ers have vowed to inject £20m of fresh funds into the Ibrox coffers, with CEO Patrick Stewart promising the new gaffer a 'decent amount' would be ring fenced for recruitment purposes. But Martin has been told he will have to move players on if he wants to raise additional funds for what is likely to be a considerable rebuild this summer. Record Sport broke the news last week that Leicester City defender Conor Coady could be the first new face in bolster Gers' backline. Ib Rox chiefs have already made contact with the Foxes as they look to kick off the Martin revolution with the experienced ex-England's capture. We also revealed how Rangers are in the hunt for £4 million-rated Israeli striker Dor Turgeman, who could be the man to replace Dessers. Advertisement Talks with his club Maccabi Tel Aviv are on going as Rangers look to land the 21-year-old hit-man.
