It was eclectic week of gaming news, and we’ve got a diverse sampler platter for you with the week’s biggest stories, or at least, the biggest ones from before Summer Game Fest kicked off on Friday. For more on that, see our roundup of everything shown off at this year’s Keighley-fest, and our look at the games shown off in this year’s great Day of the Devs showcase. In these pages, you’ll find us breaking down the latest manufactured conspiracy in the ongoing video game culture war, this one involving “trans bullets” in Call of Duty. Also, Sony put a whole lot of emphasis on its new, Guardians of the Galaxy-esque hero shooter Concord at a State of Play this week but the reaction was less than enthusiastic. All that and much more awaits you in the pages ahead.
