Suda51 returns with a sword-swinging, gun-slinging, sci-fi action game
Grasshopper Manufacture founder Suda51 made an appearance at Sony's State of Play showcase to reveal Romeo is a Dead Man — a game that has no relation to the 2000 action masterpiece Romeo Must Die , as far as we can tell. Romeo is a Dead Man stars Romeo Stargazer, a dude who was pulled back from the brink of death, gained time-shattering powers, and became a universe-hopping special agent for the FBI. Using a sword and guns, Romeo battles various sci-fi robots and beasts across multiple universes, featuring hyper-bloody gameplay. By the time I finished watching the debut trailer for Romeo is a Dead Man , I'd completely forgotten that it started out with a hand-drawn cartoon family enjoying a nice curry dinner. It quickly devolves into a black-, white- and red-splattered fever dream of exploding heads and doorway demons, providing the first hint that this is definitely a Suda51 project. Grasshopper Manufacture's previous games include Killer7, No More Heroes , Lollipop Chainsaw and Killer is Dead , and its latest release seems to fit right in with these titles.

Romeo is a Dead Man is a third-person action game, and it's due to hit PlayStation 5 in 2026.

Change for And the Bandages as Wishaw band's latest single influenced by big arena pop sound
The four-piece indie-rock outfit have released four singles since forming A Lanarkshire band wrapped up their latest single release with a live performance in Glasgow. Four-piece indie-rock outfit And the Bandages hail from Wishaw and have now released four singles since forming in late 2019. The band consists of Glenn McBride, 30, on guitar and vocals and his bass-playing brother Ewan McBride, 25, Adam Papageourgiou, 30, guitar and vocals, and drummer Ross Garrard, 28. Glenn and Adam generally share the song-writing responsibilities, with both fluctuating between lead and rhythm guitar depending on who has written a specific track. 'Whichever one of us has written the song, tends to take the rhythm and vocals for that song with the other playing lead guitar,' said Glenn. Their latest release titled, A Poor Man's Version of Myself, was recently released as a digital download available on all platforms. It follows on from their previous releases No More Heroes, Three Day Bender, and Tough Luck. And last Friday they performed at McChuill's music venue at High Street in Glasgow. Glenn said: 'We formed just before Covid, probably around December 2019. We'd been rehearsing for a few months and were just about ready to start gigging when lockdown happened. 'The name – And the Bandages – is totally random. We experimented with a few different names before we went gigging and then we liked that one and it stuck, so we went with it. 'We're all from Wishaw but we rehearse in a shared unit with a few other bands in Dalmarnock [Glasgow]. It's a cool space where you can keep your guitars, amps and drum kit in and we split the rent with other bands. 'It's such a time and energy saver as we don't have to cart it all about. 'We've been gigging for about three years now and this is our fourth single release. 'The first two singles were sort of alternative rock, the last two singles are a bit more poppier, a bit lighter. I'd probably say we've a guitar based indie-rock sort of sound but it's got a lot lighter in the last year or so. 'I'm influenced personally by The Smiths and Johnny Marr, and Adam is as well. We really like Inhaler at the moment and that sort of big arena pop sound. "I'm sure Ewan and Ross would say they have different influences to me though. Ewan likes hard rock stuff, but we have common ground so it's quite eclectic. We all like Catfish and the Bottlemen, and Fontaines DC, but we all have our own niche, so we all bring something different to the band.' If you fancy catching And the Bandages live, their next scheduled gig is supporting English band The Outcharms at the Attic in The Garage on Sauchiehall Street on May 31. They will also perform on consecutive Sundays, August 3 and 10, at the Foodies Festival in Edinburgh and Glasgow, respectively. The single A Poor Man's Version of Myself can be found on Spotify here.
