The latest DLC for The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild has reinvigorated the conversation regarding the game’s placement in the franchise’s timeline. The result is a controversy over what content can be considered canon or not, as well as the legitimacy of the Zelda timeline overall. There’s Link being defeated by Ganon, Ganon being defeated while Link’s a child, and Ganon being defeated while Link’s an adult. The DLC issues only compound the timeline crisis already prominent in Breath of th

Super Mario Odyssey will not have a game over state, Nintendo confirms. The company has been steadily revealing more and more information about the game ever since it showcased a new Super Mario Odyssey trailer at E3 2017. On the official Super Mario Odyssey Twitter page, in Japanese, Nintendo confirmed how the game’s ‘fail’ states will work. Super Mario Odyssey is set to launch on October 27, 2017 for Nintendo Switch.

Although there’s plenty of new content to explore in Final Fantasy 14’s new expansion or Final Fantasy 15’s latest DLC, some players are still looking forward to jumping back into Final Fantasy 12 when The Zodiac Age remaster releases next week. The original Final Fantasy 12 launched for PlayStation 2 over ten years ago and Sony consoles have gotten a lot more powerful in that time. YouTuber Candyland breaks down the big improvements in a video that compares the original PS2 release to The Zodia

It looks as if the Entertainment Software Rating Board (more commonly known as ESRB) has outed the imminent re-release of all the original Jak and Daxter games for PlayStation 4, with the organization having given new ratings for the titles initially developed by Naughty Dog. However, while the fresh listing of the platformers on the ESRB’s website shows them as being PS4 titles, there’s nothing on the page to indicate exactly when the games would be re-released for Sony’s current generation con

Activision and Sledgehammer Games have been very deliberate with their reveals for Call of Duty: WW2. While the campaign reveal came first, and was then followed by multiplayer at E3 2017, many fans have wondered if and when a zombies reveal would eventually arrive. While many fans were already well aware that Call of Duty: WW2 will be at San Diego Comic Con later this month, Activision has confirmed that the fan-favorite zombies mode will finally be revealed. Prepare for the world reveal of @SH

After confirming that the Tower from Destiny is destroyed at the beginning of Destiny 2, Bungie revealed a new social space for the sequel dubbed the Farm. Now, gamers can get a glimpse at the upcoming Destiny 2 social space in a new video. The video comes courtesy of IGN, and takes Destiny fans on a tour of the Farm in Destiny 2. During the tour, Bungie’s Ryan Ebenger talks through some of the features gamers can expect from the Destiny 2 social space. Those who played Destiny will know how muc

Today Bungie pulled back the curtain on its new Destiny 2 social space, The Farm, revealing some new changes to NPCs and teasing how the area will function. In Destiny 2, The Farm will support up to 26 players, as confirmed by a new IGN First video. While the video didn’t show what a full Farm social space might look like, the prospect of more people running around is sure to be exciting to fans. 26 players is a substantial uptick from the 16-player count that was capable in Destiny 1’s social s

To the Xbox team, it’s everything. The previously code named Project Scorpio was officially unveiled as the Xbox One X at E3 2017, and some fans had their misgivings about the name. It’s a wonder, then, why Microsoft didn’t simply settle for Scorpio instead of Xbox One X, which arguably sounds more like the fiercely powerful console it is. More or less, he says the “X” box team decided to tack on another X, because the Xbox One wasn’t X-y enough for them. In the same interview with MCV, McCarthy

As it turns out, a much-anticipated Liberty City mod for Grand Theft Auto 5 has now been cancelled as part of the terms of OpenIV being made available once more. Since Liberty City itself counts as Rockstar intellectual property, development of the Liberty City mod had to cease. The news was delivered to the Grand Theft Auto 5 modding community by the OpenIV team itself, with a post over on GTA Forums. “Unfortunately, our highly anticipated mod ‘Liberty City in GTA 5‘ will not be released becaus

Now, some gamers have figured out how to experience the alien mission in Grand Theft Auto 5 legitimately. Apparently, the alien mission, or Chiliad Mystery as it’s known in-game, can be unlocked through a bit of grinding. Grand Theft Auto 5 players simply need to complete 600 Gunrunning missions in GTA Online, and the alien mission will become available. Despite the single-attempt limitation, it’s nice to see Rockstar revisiting the alien mysteries in Grand Theft Auto 5. Grand Theft Auto 5 is cu

Now, it seems that the company may be pursuing other options as it continues in its attempts to expand its interests in the video game industry. Stephane Roussel, CEO of Parisian developer and Vivendi subsidiary Gameloft, spoke to the French press about the situation last week. He reiterated the fact that Vivendi wants to have a bigger presence in terms of video games, as Gameloft is a relatively small studio. However, Vivendi isn’t looking at the situation as a case of Ubisoft or nothing. Accor

Square Enix is going an unexpected direction in its promotion for Final Fantasy 12: The Zodiac Age. In the world of Ivalice, where Final Fantasy 12 takes place, Moogles look like small, humanoid rabbits. If rabbits aren’t enough to coax a purchase of Final Fantasy 12: The Zodiac Age, then perhaps the latest story trailer might do the trick. As an underappreciated Final Fantasy title, many aren’t familiar with it’s fantastic story. Final Fantasy 12: The Zodiac Age will release for PS4 on July 11,

There is little doubt that the release of the Xbox One X will be impactful. Ever since the Xbox One X was announced, fans of Microsoft’s console family have been quick to point out that it represents a major leap in technology for Xbox-branded devices. One question that hasn’t been answered yet, however, has been just how well the Xbox One X‘s power will be harnessed by games that were already made for the Xbox One. Fortunately, a new report from Digital Foundry has indicated that early adopters

The Star Wars Battlefront 2 alpha got underway last week, and as a result a preview build of the game is now out in the wild. Already, fans have picked through every last line of code and found some interesting information about this hotly anticipated FPS sequel. In-keeping with the series’ tried-and-tested gameplay, Star Wars Battlefront 2 will give players access to powerful hero characters that can turn the tide of any skirmish. We already knew that many of these characters were set to be inc

An Assassin’s Creed anime series was announced today by Adi Shankar, the producer behind the upcoming Castlevania Netflix series. Being a fan of Assassin’s Creed, Shankar expressed his surprise and delight by the recent development. I played the first edition of Assassin’s Creed the year I moved to Los Angeles to pursue my dream. Shankar’s work on Castlevania will surely be scrutinized by fans, which will affect their expectations of the Assassin’s Creed series. At this point it’s impossible to

New details regarding Tekken 7 input lag on console has led to questions about upcoming Bandai fighting game Dragon Ball FighterZ. Higher input lag also usually goes hand in hand with different lag times for multiplatform games, which can split communities and make competitive scenes less viable. Oddly enough, Tekken 7‘s input lag came into the spotlight due to players at first assuming it was an intended lag added by the developer. Clearly Arc System Works has both the experience and wherewitha

Evidently pleas from vocal fans were enough to garner the attention of the series’ current license holder, Activision, with the company opting to remake and release the original Naughty Dog-developed trilogy in the form of Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy. It’s easy to appreciate the updated look of the N. Sane Trilogy, but the score is just as important to setting up a worthy remake. Thankfully, the music has been beautifully restored by Vicarious Visions, opening up a floodgate of memories for

The Nintendo Switch could outsell the Xbox One this year, according to famed games industry analyst Michael Pachter. During the latest episode of his Pachter Factor show, the analyst suggests that the Nintendo Switch could do very well for itself in 2017. The analyst pointed to the Japanese market, where the Nintendo Switch is selling faster than the PS4, though it’s unlikely that the Xbox One has even sold that much in the territory yet. One console that the Nintendo Switch is unlikely to beat,

Fans believe they have discovered why jumping in Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy is not broken, but changed in very specific ways compared to the original games. Where in the classic Crash Bandicoot games Crash had flat feet, Crash in the updated Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy is shaped like a pill. The Redditor assumes that the engine Vicarious Visions used for the Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy perhaps defaults to the pill shape. Ultimately, it’s difficult to measure whether the jumping actu

Beyond that, however, BioWare does little to explain how the character will tie into the addition of the Platinum Difficulty mode.
