Far Cry 4 and Assassin's Creed 3 director 'hates' the Nintendo Switch 2 Game Key Card system, 'We're losing some of what made the business special'

Far Cry 4 and Revenge of the Savage Planet director Alex Hutchinson thinks Nintendo's Game Key Cards are "sort of lame" The director thinks Nintendo will "get away with it" because of "the power of nostalgia in our business" He believes "we're losing some of what made the business special" Alex Hutchinson, the director of Far Cry 4 and Assassin's Creed 3, has said that the Nintendo Switch 2's controversial Game Key Cards are "sort of lame". Speaking in an interview with VideoGamer following the release of his new game, Revenge of the Savage Planet, Hutchinson said he sees the appeal of digital downloads as someone who has released both physical and digital games, but that he isn't a fan of Nintendo's new system. "It's funny that Nintendo is going to get away with it," Hutchinson said. "It just shows you the power of nostalgia in our business that the way they will beat up Microsoft versus Nintendo is just not the same, especially in Europe. It's like, 'oh, Nintendo's doing it, alright we're not gonna say much.' "I hate it," he continued. "I think it's sort of lame. I don't know, I just feel like it's getting away… we're losing some of what made the business special. Trading Game Boy cartridges at school, or, you know, DS for the modern audience. There's something nice about that." Game key Cards are physical Switch 2 games that will contain a download "key" on the cartridge, but don't include the full game data. While new Switch 2 titles like Mario Kart World and Donkey Kong Bananza will offer standard physical game cards like the original Switch, some third-party titles like Star Wars Outlaws, Bravely Default: Flying Fairy HD Remaster, and more will be Game Key Card only releases. There are also rumors that Elden Ring Tarnished Edition will be a Game Key Card, as well as The Duskbloods, but we'll have to wait and see. In case you missed it, the Nintendo Switch 2 launches on June 5, 2025, for $449.99 / £395.99 or $499.99 / £429.99 for the Mario Kart World bundle. UK pre-orders and US pre-orders are now live. Nintendo Switch 2 pre-orders live: latest UK stock updates as My Nintendo Store's pre-order date arrives, while US pre-orders remain delayed Here are the Nintendo Switch 2 launch games that you'll be able to pick up and play on June 5 Rockstar confirms the latest Grand Theft Auto 6 trailer was all 'gameplay and cutscenes' captured 'entirely in-game' on the PS5

PETER HOSKIN reviews: Revenge Of The Savage Planet: Why bigger may not be better for the Savage Planet series…
Revenge Of The Savage Planet (PlayStation, Xbox, PC, £32.99 or included with Xbox Game Pass) Verdict: Silly space Rating: Space colonisation never looked so catastrophic — nor so colourful. At the start of Revenge Of The Savage Planet, your undauntable astronaut is quite literally dumped on a faraway world full of fluorescent plants and weirdo creatures. Then he's dumped, in a different sense, by the awful corporation who sent him there, and left to fend for himself. Can he get by?The answer is a resounding yes. This game is much like its predecessor, 2020's Journey To The Savage Planet, in that it involves poking around, finding new resources and inventing new technology — ray guns and jetpacks and the like — so that you can move on to somewhere new. And it's also got the same (sometimes endearing, sometimes irritating) childish sense of humour. Everything here gurgles and sprays goo. So how is Revenge different? The first thing that stands out is its new perspective: third-person, instead of first. I suspect this is because there's more platforming here — more hopping from rock to rock — which is better done when you can see all your player-character. Then there's the greater emphasis on cooperative play with your friends, done over the internet or now — through a split-screen mode — while you're sat on the same sofa. I mostly played Revenge solo, which was perfectly enjoyable, but there's no denying that the co-op added a certain... deliciously malevolent... something. It's fun to set traps for your buddies when you're all meant to be getting along. But perhaps the biggest change is that Revenge is, er, bigger. Its planets are more open and expansive than before, and, yes, I did mean to say planets, plural. There are four of them now, not just one. Yet that might be Revenge's undoing. For all its jumps, japes and jokes, there's not quite enough going on to fill all that space. I eventually tired of the same gameplay loop again and again: find stuff in the wild; return back to base to craft an upgrade; find stuff in the wild; return back to base... and so on. Sorry, Robinson Cosmo. I gotta go.

3 new Xbox Game Pass games to play this weekend (May 9-11)
Table of Contents Table of Contents Revenge of the Savage Planet Dredge Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2 We are all on the edge of our seats just waiting for Doom: The Dark Ages to unlock on our PCs and consoles, but Game Pass is the gift that keeps on giving. We're barely even a week into the month and we already have a slate of new additions to the service, including a day one title. Whether you're just trying to pass the time this weekend as fast as possible before Doom, or have no interest in that gory shooter and are looking for something a bit different to play before your next upcoming Xbox Series X game comes out, we won't leave you hanging. These are the 3 best new Xbox Game Pass games we know you will love playing this weekend. Revenge of the Savage Planet Just like with its first game, developer Raccoon Logic (formerly known as Typhoon Studios) takes aim at the absurdity and heartless nature of modern corporations and their incompetency with Revenge of the Savage Planet. As a game, this entry opens things up as an open world adventure with crafting and lite Metroidvania elements as you unlock new pieces of equipment. From the jump, this game proudly presents its world as a parody, with your main character waking from a cryopod and watching an orientation video immediately followed by a video laying you off. Similar to High on Life, the gameplay is merely okay here, but it is the world and humor that will win you over. Recommended Videos Revenge of the Savage Planet is available now on PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, and PC. Dredge We can't say we ever imagined a horror game based on fishing, unless we played as the fish, perhaps. Dredge sets you on the dark and dangerous waters off the town of Greater Marrow. Using your dingy little fishing boat, you will go out fishing and salvaging items by completing a little minigame. However, as you venture further out to sea and stay out after dark, panic will rise, you will begin to hallucinate, and monsters from deep below will come to the surface. By trading in your hauls, you can upgrade your boat to go further and stay out longer to catch more deadly game. Besides being a mechanically addicting game despite the stress, there is also a lovely little horror tale to follow. Dredge is available now on PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, Mobile, and PC. Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2 Dragon Ball fans, it is time to break out your OC and bring them to life. Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2 is the ultimate fanfiction Dragon Ball game where your unique character travels through time to help make sure the events of the story occur as they are supposed to. This includes inserting yourself in all the key battles of the show, from Goku's fight with Radditz through the entire Z saga, but even non-canonical and new story moments that will be a blast for fans who have theorycrafted how hypothetical battles would play out. The gameplay is easy enough to get into as a 3D arena fighter, but has multiple hub areas to explore, NPCs to talk to, almost endless amounts of quests, and a huge multiplayer community that is still going strong. Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2 is available now on PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, Switch, and PC.

Revenge of the Savage Planet Guide: 'Rough Morning' Walkthrough
Greetings Fellow Explorers! Back to top ↑ Welcome to Revenge of the Savage Planet! This vibrant, chaotic sequel to Journey to the Savage Planet builds on many of the same mechanics and gameplay loops from the original — but with more layered missions and exploration at its core. Missions in Revenge of the Savage Planet often intersect, overlap, or require backtracking, and some areas won't be accessible until you've completed a specific task or unlocked a new ability. Because of this, we've crafted this guide to be as clear and coherent as possible. The three main missions after this —That Has My Name On It, Best Served Cold and Roundtrip 2.0 — will stay with you throughout your journey, but they're broken into multiple sub-missions. We've linked out to separate, detailed guides for each where needed but That Has My Name On It in particular is a long guide! As you explore, it's highly recommended to scan everything with the down button on the D-pad. Clicking the right stick will also highlight key items like Orange Goo, Crates, and Collectibles. Since these are generally easy to spot, we won't list every single one — but we will include all major location-based achievements, mission triggers, and key progression paths. We've also included some tips on mission order and some general tips for gaining Achievements along the way — helping you streamline your adventure without missing a thing. So, with that out the way, lets crack on with the first level! Rough Morning Back to top ↑ When you first land, you'll be greeted with a simple mission. It's a good idea to get into the habit of hitting R3 to survey the area, as you'll be shown a little indicator with the number of scannable items, the number of collectibles or the total amount of interesting items in the general vicinity. For now, walk forward and toward the wreckage. You can veer off to the right on the beach, where you'll find a rogue Orange Goo but you won't be able to get it just yet as you need your pistol, so keep following the yellow markers along. Scanning Sub-quest Back to top ↑ As you continue forward, you'll be prompted about Scanning Mode. This is a super useful tool you can use to begin scanning the environment for flora, fauna and creatures. These, in turn, allow you to add extra upgrades you can unlock, as well as improving your scanning capabilities. Hit down on the d-pad and use R1 (RB) to scan the creature and plant in front of you to complete this sub-quest. After scanning the little mushroom creatures, the Brainards, if you approach one of them closest to the cliff and hit Square (X) to kick it into the wall so it splatters, you'll gain the Achievement: Feature Wall. You'll need to gather 40 Carbon anyway by killing these creatures, so it's a nice way of tying it all together! Once you've gained the material, return to the 3D printer in the wreckage here: Scroll down to Jump Pack n the menu and hold X (A) to print the Zoot Jump Thrusters. The Pistol Back to top ↑ Remember the cliff-face we couldn't navigate past to the west of the Brainards? Well, with the thrusters, if you tap X (A) while jumping, you'll do a double-jump. Hold it down to navigate into the next area. Be sure to scan everything in sight, and you'll come across a couple of handy tutorials as you get near to the lake with the crashed ship parts. The orange plants here can be hit with a melee strike to heal your HP. If you do so against the closest Orange plant, by tapping Square (X), you'll complete an optional objective. Furthermore, it's also worth noting that the coloured rocks you see will also have 3 types of Resource inside. This is split into Carbon, Aluminium and Silicon. They're basically the backbone of everything you need to upgrade, including upgrades and the end-mission for returning back home so it's a good idea to destroy these every chance you get. For now, destroying the green rocks will give you Aluminium. In order to craft the pistol, you need 220 of this resource. Within the Pfyzzich Beach area, you'll also find impassable purple crystals that need to be shot to progress past, hence the need to craft a pistol! Once you've got enough resources, return to the 3D Printer and select Weapon from the menu and then choose the Pacifier Pistol. The Orange Goo Mission Back to top ↑ Before heading back to the barriers, if you head to the edge of the beach in the south east, you'll find your first Orange Goo location, which we mentioned earlier. There's also a second, just to the north of this location pinned up on a wall. We won't list every single location of the orange goo, because most are quite straightforward to find. However, collecting a few will unlock the Alien Ultrafood mission, which you need to complete in order to gain the Achievement: One More Than Last Time FTW. Later on in the game, you'll also be able to unlock an upgrade from your computer terminal which marks every location on your map. It's also worth noting here that Orange Goo also upgrades the amount of HP and stamina you have, so it's actually a good idea to gain as many as possible when you can. For these two Goo mentioned before, destroy the pink mesh then hit Square (X) to eat the goo. When you're finally ready, head back to the impassable wall, break through the pink mesh barriers and destroy the flying bugs that show up just beyond this. This section serves as a good introduction to combat, which is your standard L2 (LT) to aim, R2 (RT) to shoot. Keep moving up the linear path, ascending beyond the waterfalls and following the route north to your next location. Hungry, Hungry Trees Back to top ↑ At the end of the path, you'll be faced with a grumpy-looking tree with a big mouth. If you use your scanner, you'll be given some clues over how to progress. The trick is to pick up the pink slugs (by pressing Square (X)) and throwing each into the tree's mouth. Do this three times and it'll unblock the path. Continue along the linear pathway and you'll eventually find yourself at the Habitat. Roundtrip 2.0 Back to top ↑ Just south of the Habitat, you'll find the Javelin in a rough way. It's sticking out from the water but it's also covered by lockable upgrades we'll gain along our journey through the game. This will be the last mission you complete, as the upgrades are expensive and the entire structure of the game precedes leading up to this mission, so don't worry too much about it now. Just remember where it's situated, and be sure to scan it too so you gain the Achievement: Homeward Bound? The Habitat Back to top ↑ Approach the large Habitat building (being sure to scan all the surrounding buildings too!) and hit Square (X) to activate it. After the brief cutscene, enter the door. Approach the console and hold Square (X) to activate the video message. You don't need to sit through the whole thing if you don't want to as holding Square (X) you can skip past all of this. Next, head over to the computer and select each of the different options on the desktop. Under Kindred Trainings, you'll have your first of many quizzes to gain Habitat credits called Alta Bucks. These can, in turn, be used to upgrade your Habitat with extra trinkets and goodies inside your bedroom. They're all purely cosmetic though and don't have any impact on your character, although they are linked to some Achievements too. It's worth noting that you can actually fail a few of these questions on the introduction Training quiz and still gain the credits, but the right options are: B, C, C. If you then choose Home DKO, this will open up the Creation menu to buy items to place around the interior of your Habitat. Outside in the world, there are also Alto Coupon crates (pictured below),which make a rather loud noise, flash and also have a red light above them too, so they're easy to find. Pressing Square (X) on those will give you additional credits, mostly in the millions. By opening 25 separate crates out in the wild, along with placing items in the Habitat, you'll unlock the Achievements: Alta Cares, Homemaker, Crash Pad and Alta Bucks for Alta People. Finally, placing a Pinball Machine, Hug Machine a bookshelf or vending machines down, then interacting with them by walking into the bedroom and pressing Square (X) next to them will unlock the Achievement: Hamster Wheel. Just before you leave, be sure to select each of the desktop items, and accept the Termination agreement on the Habitat PC too to gain the Achievement: You're Fired! With all of this now completed, if you exit out the front door, it will complete the mission.
