Destiny 2 may have launched on PC seven weeks after the game was released on PS4 and Xbox One, but developer Bungie says that from here on out all updates, DLC, and patches on PC will launch “day and date” with consoles. This parity across platforms will be good news for all, especially considering that PC players will be getting the game’s first expansion, Curse of Osiris, the same time as consoles even though console players have had the game for seven more weeks. That shorter time before the

The week leading up to Halloween is full if lots of in-game events and limited items that bring the spirit of the holiday into lots of service-based games. Everything from Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare to Guild Wars 2 seems to have a Halloween event in the works this year, but we managed to trim our list down to the top five…OverwatchThe Halloween Terror event is back in Overwatch for the second year. There are also special game modes to explore during the span of the Terror event. Pokemon GOLa

It should also be noted that Red Dead Redemption 2 will have its own multiplayer component, with fans expecting it to be similar to GTA Online. If that is Rockstar’s plan for the upcoming game, then it’s not hard to see why the developer won’t commit to any GTA Online updates after Red Dead Redemption 2 launches. Rockstar may hope that fans of its games will find time for both GTA Online and Red Dead Redemption 2, but that seems unlikely. And Rockstar must realize this too or it would not be con

In recent year, Destiny fans have enjoyed participating in the Festival of the Lost, a special in-game event that celebrates Halloween. According to Community Manager DeeJ, Festival of the Lost won’t be happening in Destiny 2 this year for a couple of reasons. Some fans may be disappointed to learn that the Festival of the Lost won’t be in Destiny 2 this year, but it shouldn’t come as a big surprise. — DeeJ (@DeeJ_BNG) October 21, 2017For Destiny 2 players that missed out on the original game’s

One of the biggest surprises of Microsoft’s E3 2017 press conference was the announcement that original Xbox backward compatibility would be coming to Xbox One. We now know the first 13 original Xbox games coming to Microsoft’s latest console, and all of them will be playable starting tomorrow. Something else that may disappoint Xbox One owners when it comes to original Xbox backward compatibility is the lack of online multiplayer support. With support for system link multiplayer and by offering

Players have wondered for years what happened to the GTA 5 story DLC that developer Rockstar Games had been looking into at one point. In a new interview, Rockstar Games revealed the key reasons why that story DLC hasn’t happened. Sarwar also points to the “other games” that Rockstar has in development, with Red Dead Redemption 2 being singled out. On top of this, Red Dead Redemption 2 has already been delayed until next year, after initially being announced for a late 2017 release. Red Dead Red

Few fighting games have been as anticipated by the core following of the genre as Dragon Ball FighterZ. Fans can mark January 26, 2018 on their calendars as the day that Dragon Ball FighterZ will be arriving across PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One platforms. Bandai Namco also confirmed that there will be a secondary version of the game for fans to sink their hard-earned dollars into. With a number of perfectly suited and unlikely candidates ripe for inclusion in Dragon Ball FighterZ, there’s sure

Those who were heartbroken when the Nintendo 3DS XL Super NES Edition was released exclusively in Europe will be overjoyed to learn this charming console is heading to the US. This special edition 3DS is currently going for $199.99 and will be shipped on its release date next month, November 27. To continue the theme, this version of the handheld also comes with a download code for the SNES version of Super Mario Kart. It has been also announced by Nintendo that these Pokemon titles will be the

The Randal the Vandal Easter egg has been a highlight, along with this social space ‘mini-game’. But it seems that the list of Easter eggs in the game is neverending, as players have now found another one. This latest Destiny 2 Easter egg can be found in Distant Shore, the new map introduced as part of the game’s limited-time Crucible event, Iron Banner. But the discovery is also likely to set Destiny 2 players off on a hunt for even more Easter eggs. The fact that this Easter egg arrived in Dis

While the pickings were slim at first, the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One have managed to build impressive libraries of horror games, with these 10 standing out as the scariest. Alien: IsolationAlien: Isolation is one of the most criminally underplayed horror games in recent years, but it stands as one of the absolute scariest available for PS4 and Xbox One. With plenty of jump scares, a tense atmosphere, PlayStation VR support, and shock imagery galore, Resident Evil 7 is easily one of the scariest

Last week, Ubisoft (in partnership with Trey Parker and Matt Stone) released South Park: The Fractured But Whole, the follow-up to the well-received Stick of Truth. In our time with South Park: The Fractured But Whole, it took about 18 hours to complete the full story campaign along with all of the general side missions. More time spent in the world of South Park is always a treat, or at least it is now that the games are good. Thankfully, South Park: The Fractured But Whole isn’t too much of an

While Destiny 2 has a major piece of DLC coming in its first expansion, Curse of Osiris, which will almost surely add more to the game’s PvP experience, Season 2 will also add one map into the mix for free. Similarly, Emperor’s Respite was added the moment the first team cleared the Leviathan raid, their efforts unlocking the Crucible map for all players. Lastly, Iron Banner earlier this month added Distant Shores, which is a remake of fan-favorite Destiny 1 map Shores of Time. Considering that

While the Assassin’s Creed franchise is primarily about historical settings and characters, modern day elements have also been important to the games. Apparently, the de-synchronization process in Assassin’s Creed Origins features symbols that are similar to the ones seen in the poorly-received Assassin’s Creed movie. When launch day comes around, it will be interesting to see just how modern day gameplay works in Assassin’s Creed Origins, and if it is well-received by fans or not. Over the many

Despite complaints stemming from the PC beta of Destiny 2, Bungie and PC port developer Vicarious Visions have decided to retain aim assist for controllers come launch. For Destiny 2 on PC, aim assist is meant to both empower controller users and help establish a balance between controllers versus keyboard and mouse. But on PC, where the userbase will be split between more precise keyboard and mouse players or controller players with aim assist, balance will be much more tenuous. Past multiplatf

During that time, the developers also refreshed the game’s code to include up-to-date move sets and base catch rates for each of the new Pokemon. Sableye, the dual-type Dark/Ghost Pokemon with razor-sharp teeth and big gemstone eyes, has a base capture rate of 20 percent and a base flee rate of 7 percent. The mummy-like Ghost type Dusclops and the marionette doll Pokemon Banette have the same base capture and flee rates as Sableye. Both Shuppet, the nocturnal Ghost type that evolves into Banette

Pokemon GO fans dove head-long into the mobile title’s Halloween event earlier this week, eager to capture new-to-the-game creatures from Generation 3. According to numerous Pokemon GO players, Dusclops and Banette only spawn within the game at night — or, at the very least, spawn much more frequently in the wild between the hours of 8 p.m. and 9 a.m. A forum on the Pokemon GO fan community The Silph Road’s sub-Reddit documents players’ experience with Dusclops and Banette spawn behavior. A Poke

Another Nintendo Minute released this week that focuses on co-op play in Super Mario Odyssey. The controls for co-op mode are straightforward and work similarly to how they do in Super Mario Galaxy. In Super Mario Odyssey the second player is slightly more involved. Even without the extra media, the consensus in the gaming world is that Super Mario Odyssey will be a fantastic game, much like its predecessors. Super Mario Odyssey is slated to release on October 27, 2017 for Nintendo Switch.

Popular gaming forum NeoGAF has gone offline after sexual assault allegations surfaced about the site’s owner. It all started when sexual assault allegations surfaced against Tyler Malka, better known as Evilore on the NeoGAF forums. It’s unclear who took the site offline, but without a community to support it, NeoGAF wasn’t going to last that long anyway. Now, it’s hard to see NeoGAF surviving if Malka continues to be the owner of the site. As we mention, there are numerous replacements for the

Bungie says that The Dawning will return again for Destiny 2 but with its own set of content and events. During a TwitchCon panel about the seasons of Destiny 2, Bungie’s Ryan Paradis said that many fans asked why they couldn’t have snowball fights in the Tower back when the event was active in Destiny 1. Paradis then mentioned that, like the Tower, The Farm social space will also be getting a makeover for The Dawning, including snow forts for players to hide in during snowball fights. For Desti

According to a recent report from Digital River, gamers are eating it up and games as a service have allowed the industry to triple its value. But as more and more releases begin to fall under the games as a service banner, the question becomes whether this model is sustainable? Although most creators of the games we love would deny this, many games feel engineered specifically for it. This is a problem for the developers and publishers creating games as a service because by their very nature th
