Available vehicles include both vintage cars and battered or simply poorly maintained rides. The player can also buy old car models and return them to their former glory or add any modifications to sell them subsequently for a higher price.

An important part of Car Detailing Simulator is garage development, which includes all kinds of upgrades and expanding your toolset. As you progress in the game by completing various tasks, you can expand your business.

The developers have put emphasis on realism, which can be seen in the extensive set of specialist tools and highly specific detailing and restoration options (including washing, foaming, and paint polishing).

Car Detailing Simulator is a game with a fair dose of realism, which allows you to deal with detailing and restoration of all kinds of cars – from vintage to modern models. Car restoration has been tackled in a comprehensive way and with significant attention to detail.

Canada’s Behaviour Interactive Opens New UK Studio

Behaviour’s Second UK Studio Represents Another Step in the Company’s European Expansion 

MONTREAL July 12, 2023 Behaviour Interactive, the largest Canadian video game studio, is pleased to announce the opening of a new studio in Truro, Cornwall, in the South West United Kingdom.

Operating under the banner of Behaviour UK – South, the new studio’s initial team is composed primarily of former employees of AntiMatter Games, a local developer whose parent company recently announced its intention to close the studio.

Many truly talented individuals have been undeservedly impacted by the economic challenges that have led to layoffs across the gaming industry,” stated Wayne Meazza, Executive Vice President of Behaviour’s Services division. “When we learned AntiMatter Games was closing, we jumped at the opportunity to accelerate our strategic expansion by adding the studio’s proven, experienced team. This represented a true win-win situation, particularly given how AntiMatter shared Behaviour’s well-established culture of collaborative ambition.”

Founded in 1992, Behaviour is a multi-faceted Canadian gaming studio renowned for creating and supporting genre-defying titles. The company has enjoyed immense success with its original horror-action multiplayer game, Dead by Daylight™, and has developer credits on some of the world’s best-loved franchises. Since April 2022, Behaviour has undertaken a major expansion program beyond its Montreal base, establishing or acquiring studios in Toronto, Seattle, and the United Kingdom.

The opening of Behaviour UK – South follows the company’s February 2023 acquisition of SockMonkey Studios in Middlesbrough, Teesside, which was subsequently renamed Behaviour UK – North. Both UK teams serve to further enhance Behaviour’s industry-leading external development capabilities. 

We are thrilled that we can continue to pursue our passion for making games as part of the Behaviour team,” stated Rich Barham, AntiMatter Games’ former CEO, who will serve as General Manager of Behaviour UK – South. “We feel very fortunate that we can maintain our home in beautiful Truro, and we look forward to welcoming new members to the team over the coming months and years.”

Köln, Germany – Wednesday 12th July 2023: gamescom 2023 is set for a record-breaking five day run this August, with more exhibitors from 60 different nations spread across an even larger showfloor than last year’s awe-inspiring extravaganza.

In addition, gamescom organisers can today confirm that 2023’s event will play host to 33 country pavilions accounting for 26 different nations.

Similarly, the 60 different states represented is up from 53 last year.

gamescom can also confirm strong publisher and developer interest in what’s set to be a showstopping Opening Night Live – hosted by Geoff Keighley – whilst IGN has once again signed up to produce gamescom Studio, the event’s official live stream featuring the best gameplay, demos, news, interviews and game releases direct from the show floor.

“Last year, thanks to its unique community and strong support from many game companies, gamescom celebrated a great comeback,” offers Tim Endres, Director of gamescom at Koelnmesse“This year, we’re taking it up a notch in several ways because gamescom is growing in various areas. I am particularly pleased that we have received so much support from the industry and that large companies that have been absent for the past few years are participating this year.

“But the fact that our further opening to related industries, such as the streaming sector, is bearing fruit shows the great appeal of gamescom. Ultimately, our significance as the world’s most important game event is evident not only in being more international than in 2022 but even before the pandemic! Like our community, I can’t wait for gamescom 2023 to start.” 

In the past few weeks, several companies have announced their presence at gamescom 2023, including: 9GAG, Aerosoft, Amazon Games, Amazon Prime, AMD, Assemble Entertainment, astragon Entertainment, BANDAI NAMCO Entertainment, Bethesda Softworks, Crunchyroll, Devolver Digital, ESL FACEIT Group, Focus Entertainment, Frontier Developments, GIANTS Software, Headup Games, Hoyoverse, The LEGO Group, Level Infinite, MINI, Netflix, Nexon, Nintendo, Pearl Abyss, PLAION, Raw Fury, Rocket Beans TV, Samsung, SEGA, Star Wars Ashoka (Disney+), Team17, TikTok, Ubisoft, and Xbox. Numerous other companies will be announced at a later date.

“Games are an international phenomenon: Around 3 billion people worldwide play across borders,” adds Felix Falk, Managing Director of game – the German Games Industry Association. “For this international community, gamescom is the highlight event. Especially in such a global industry as ours, central events are needed where the community and industry come together. Games are celebrated together, and the outstanding importance of the game industry becomes clear to everyone. The positive development of exhibitors and the increased internationality demonstrate how important gamescom is in this regard. Already, millions of people worldwide are looking forward to the end of August when gamescom opens its doors again – onsite in Köln and digitally worldwide.”

Sci-Fi Survival Shoot ‘Em Up Let Them Come: Onslaught Revealed by AAA VFX Studio

VANCOUVER, Canada — July 11, 2023 — AAA VFX Studio Tuatara Games, best known for their work supporting companies including Riot Games (Valorant), Epic Games (Fortnite) and Counterplay Games (Godfall) reveal their next project. Let Them Come: Onslaught, a gorgeous, fast-paced survival auto-battler with roguelite elements set in the universe of Let Them Come, will exterminate an alien infestation on PC via Steam Early Access in Q1 2024. 

After suffering heavy losses on a planet infested with deadly aliens, a unit  of space soldiers retreat aboard their shuttle, only to be taken down by a gigantic creature. A single soldier survives the crash. Bloodied and bruised, he must trudge through the eerie unknown and survive a relentless onslaught of deadly beasts in order to activate nukes and blow up the planet. This is the last chance to contain this threat.

Aliens aren’t the only adversary on this hostile planet. Dynamic weather, anything from torrential downpours to asteroids raining from the sky can end a run early.  Adapt to the elements while mowing down unrelenting swarms of bloodthirsty foes to avoid a horrifying death.

Collect XP while annihilating enemies and unlock an impressive arsenal including a Flamethrower, Laser Beam, Electric Grenade, Orbital Strike, and more. Obtain upgrades that can be used to increase health, defense, activate a shield, reduce weapons cooldown, and other helpful buffs. Spend XP wisely to survive as long as possible before starting the next run.

Roguelite elements offer a rewarding gameplay loop, since not all is lost at the end of a run. Credits collected on the battlefield are retained even after death, and can be spent on permanent upgrades in the Armory. Experiment with different weapon loadouts and devise new strategies to survive the hordes. Uncover small pieces of lore that expand the LTC universe while vying for survival.

“We are huge fans of this emerging gameplay experience, and are thrilled to reveal our love letter to the games that inspired us,” said Klemen Lozar, founder of Tuatara Games. “Using our team’s VFX expertise, survivors can expect to fight for their lives through adrenaline-inducing experiences that have the best visuals of the genre.”

Let Them Come: Onslaught makes its Steam Early Access debut in Q1 2024 for $4.99 USD. The decision to launch first on Early Access comes from the development team’s continued knowledge in incorporating improvements to ensure the final 1.0 launch is as optimized as possible.

NSW vs QLD Captains continue rivalry with Gran Turismo 7 on PS VR2

James Tedesco and Daly Cherry-Evans return for round two of their Gran Turismo 7 rivalry, this time hitting the track in PS VR2.

Check out the video here to see which player was first to cross the finish line…

PlayStation Australia has once again pit NRL superstars and State captains James Tedesco (NSW) and Daly Cherry-Evans (QLD) against one another in Gran Turismo 7 on PlayStation VR2. Tedesco is the current “King of The Track” and Cherry-Evans is out to even the score following last year’s defeat on the track

This year, Tedesco challenges Cherry-Evans to see if he can take his crown and beat him as they go head-to-head in a time trial around Mount Panorama in PS VR2. See if he’s able to level the series or if Teddy takes it 2-0

Speaking after the race, NSW captain Tedesco said “Last year’s experience on the track was incredible. I haven’t used much virtual reality before but was blown away by GT7 on the PS VR2. The detail on the tracks and the interior of the cars was next level. It probably helped level the playing field for Daly. He just couldn’t keep up last year.”

While QLD captain Cherry-Evans said, “You feel like you’re driving the actual car with the PlayStation VR2. I couldn’t believe how realistic it was. I’ve been practising since last year’s race and I think it shows with the time I was able to set. I’m already looking forward to next year!”

See if you can beat the captains’ lap times yourself and experience Gran Turismo 7 like never before with PS VR2. Get behind the wheel of more than 450 vehicles in unparalleled detail and immersion. To find out more about PS VR2, head to PlayStation.com.au.

Navigate a rigid hierarchy set to an apocalyptic backdrop and find connection and meaning in the midst of an ecological disaster as players are thrown into two distinct games across a variety of genres encompassing three acts of one overarching narrative. Following their distinct style of transgressive games, Arbitrary Metric’s Roman Sands RE:Build weaves a deep narrative, pitting the human against the desolation of modernity.

Offering a sensory tapestry, the game forces troubling questions and has players peel back reality and the nature of Being.

A unique, mind-boggling experience joining elements of adventure, visual novel, gacha, horror, simulation and puzzle games, players will need to master multiple genres and realities if they hope to solve the mysteries of Roman Sands RE:Build.
