  • Gamers now get their first glance at footage of the classic Destiny 1 Voidwalker Warlock class, retooled for the sequel. First, the Voidwalker’s Nova Bomb is bigger, slower moving, and tracks its targets. In Destiny 1, players could choose between a bigger arcing Nova Bomb that creates a area-of-effect Vortex where it lands, a Nova Bomb that splits and spreads out in three smaller balls of energy, and a smaller but straight, fast-traveling Nova Bomb. Secondly, Blink will be making its return to

  • Since its release back in March, Mass Effect: Andromeda is a title that has been plagued with issues, many of which stem from the poor facial animations in several portions of the game. Patch 1.09 released last week and, since then, many Mass Effect: Andromeda players have been trying to figure out just where the so-called ‘various improvements’ have been made to the space-exploration title’s animation. As it turns out, the animations have been altered slightly in individual cutscenes, but nothi

  • Another wave of Destiny 2 information has been made today, with a focus on the Crucible and particularly the PvP mode Control. In playing Control in Destiny 2, several changes from the original Destiny were noted. With single player point captures, no neutralization, and power plays, Destiny 2‘s Control will have players burning through matches faster than ever before. Considering Destiny featured over 10 different Crucible PvP gametypes, from Rumble to Supremacy, odds are Destiny 2 will be chan

  • Today, environment artist Coolie Calihan offered up a guided tour of Endless Vale, a brand new Crucible map. Endless Vale is a distinctly otherworldly location, filled with environmental details that call to mind the robotic hordes of the Vex. It’s situated on Nessus, one of the new explorable worlds that Bungie has previously announced would be accessible at launch in Destiny 2. Here’s hoping that the team’s intentions pay off when players have the opportunity to test out Destiny 2 for themselv

  • It’s been a whirlwind few months for Star Wars Battlefront 2 after its initial reveal at Star Wars Celebration and then impressing the crowd with the first ever multiplayer gameplay footage at E3 2017. After announcing the existence of a beta test earlier this year, fans now know the exact dates as to when they’ll finally be able to jump into the boots of a Republic Clone Trooper. For this beta test, the multiplayer includes the Clone Wars era Battle of Theed, which fans witnessed for the first

  • Should the trove of information be accurate, the gauntlet-wielding warrior will be receiving four cosmetics for the seasonal event, and will eventually get 71 cosmetics in total. Considering last year’s Summer Games in the team-based shooter, though, the files could be indicative of a Rare Icon, a Common Voice Line, a Common Spray, or an Epic/Legendary Skin. While it’s important to take DocterrificDoc’s datamine details with a grain of salt, it would be odd if Blizzard didn’t have plans for Doom

  • Usually, players will pop an incense and then hang around a Pokestop and see what shows up. This will often net about one Pokemon every five minutes during the 30 minute window. Here is the code for Incense, via Reddit, decides to trigger a new Pokemon spawn…To translate that to English, here is the deal:Players standing still will trigger one spawn roughly every 300 seconds. Players moving 200 meters per minute will trigger one spawn every 60 seconds. 200 meters per minute is close to a sprint

  • Unfortunately, anyone that would like to switch teams to play on the same one as most of their friends is out of luck. All things considered, it’s odd that Niantic hasn’t offered some way for players to switch teams. For example, Niantic could make it so Pokemon trainers are only able to switch teams once within a certain period of time. Of course, there could be other reasons why Niantic hasn’t allowed players to switch teams in Pokemon GO. We really aren’t sure why Niantic hasn’t allowed playe

  • About a couple of months ago, publisher Bandai Namco Entertainment and developer Dimps announced intentions to put out a Nintendo Switch version of Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2 sometime during fall 2017. Although Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2 is coming out for the Nintendo Switch nearly a year after having been available for the PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One platforms, the Switch version of the title is set to include some console-exclusive features that aren’t available on the game’s other iterations.

  • As everyone who was around for the initial Pokemon craze knows, Ash was accompanied on his travels by two firm friends; Misty and Brock. However, those memorable characters are largely absent from I Choose You, being replaced by two brand new characters. It’s worth noting that not all of the established characters from the Indigo League era have been replaced for the new movie. Brock and Misty do make an appearance in I Choose You, although it’s really more of a blink-and-you’ll-miss-it cameo th

  • Responding to a recent tweet asking how large New York City will be in the upcoming Spider-Man for PS4, Insomniac Games replied with a claim that the map will be “several times larger” than Sunset Overdrive‘s ‘Sunset City’. Of course this still leaves the actual size fairly ambiguous, but it means that players will easily have enough room to explore the city as everyone’s favorite web-slinger. While map size is sure to be important for the majority of fans, it’s worth pointing out that Batman: A

  • Sledgehammer Games Studio Head Glen Schofield is back and teasing Call of Duty: WW2‘s Zombie Mode again. The one hint that Schofield has provided so far is a continued comparison to the original Dead Space. So which part is the Sledgehammer dev trying to tie to Call of Duty: WW2‘s Zombie Mode: a space station, humans turning into terrible monstrosities, or maybe third-person shooter? Activision and Sledgehammer have also been running an ARG related to Call of Duty: WW2‘s Zombie Mode. Fun as hell

  • The Summer Games Done Quick 2017 speedrunning marathon has ended after a full week of playing games, bringing in a record $1.76 million in donations for the event. This is the seventh year for the annual SGDQ marathon, whose humble beginnings raised a comparatively scant $21,397. SGDQ 2017 ended early Sunday morning off the back of its finale speedrun of Earthbound. In all fairness, SGDQ is still somewhat overshadowed by its winter sister-event, Awesome Games Done Quick.

  • Not too long ago, NetherRealm Studios’ creative director Ed Boon revealed that Injustice 2 owners will be able to play as Sub-Zero starting this week in July, which understandably excited fans of the fighting game. Of course, the Mortal Kombat character’s addition to the DC Comics-inspired brawler also caused folks to wonder which heroes and villains will be a part of the next batch of DLC for the title, which has led Boon to tease the inclusion of Black Manta. As seen below in the video courtes

  • The days of ARK: Survival Evolved being an early access title are numbered, with Studio Wildcard’s popular dino-centric crafting title poised to undergo a full commercial release on August 8, 2017. Since the title is still technically in early access, fans who didn’t want to pay the increased price have reacted with strong criticism for Studio Wildcard. This isn’t the first time ARK: Survival Evolved has run into controversy. It’s not a satisfying answer, but in the end, fans interested in ARK:

  • A No Man’s Sky alternate reality game (ARG) seems to suggest that the space exploration title will be getting new content in August. Developer Hello Games began sending mysterious tapes to No Man’s Sky players last month, prompting players to begin participation in the ARG. It’s currently unclear what the No Man’s Sky 1.3 update will hold, but fans are incredibly excited.
