Naturally, though, he didn’t offer up any precise details as to how many hours of gameplay it will take to complete, but Hulst did explain that it’s “very substantial.”In addition to the fresh map in Horizon: Zero Dawn‘s The Frozen Wilds DLC, Guerrilla Games has also added new quests, challenges, and settlements for the protagonist Aloy to explore. Not to mention, she’s set to receive a bounty of new weapons for use in combat and much more. During the discussion, Hulst also detailed why Guerrill

Sony’s upcoming God of War exclusive for the PlayStation 4 is making some dramatic changes, including cutting the cinematic camera cuts and sudden QTEs classic to the franchise. God of War Director Cory Barlog confirmed with Giant Bomb’s Dan Ryckert the removal of camera cuts and QTEs, though it was noted that certain sequences did require button mashing if you consider those QTEs. It’s just a particularly interesting topic when compared to classic God of War gameplay. In many ways God of War ap

A few days ago, the original voice actor for Claire Redfield, Alyson Court, revealed that she would not be reprising the role for the Resident Evil 2 remake. Now Court has uploaded a new video on the situation, this time calling out Capcom directly. In the video, Court says that she wouldn’t be upset about being replaced in the Resident Evil 2 remake if it was for creative reasons. The voice actors strike certainly makes things messy, but there’s still a chance Capcom could change its mind and b

It might seem odd that someone as iconic as the creator of Final Fantasy has been dabbling in mobile games over the past few years, but Hironobu Sakaguchi has made a career on attempting to capitalize on what he feels are the most promising areas of the industry. Still, the genius behind what has become one of gaming’s biggest series has been busy behind the scenes. After a report emerged late last year that Mistwalker would release a game in 2017, it seemed like only a matter of time before an

Sitting down to play Call of Duty: WW2’s multiplayer is like reconnecting with an old friend. Nowhere is that more apparent than in the way Call of Duty: WW2’s multiplayer is set up, specifically its Divisions. Much like classes in any other multiplayer shooter, Divisions are specific branches of the military that specialize in a certain play style. They compliment the Division class and make them more useful in combat scenarios. In a lot of ways, Call of Duty: WW2’s multiplayer feels much simpl

But one announcement stood out a bit more than others: the Creation Club. Available for the hyper-popular Bethesda titles Fallout 4 and Skyrim, the Creation Club has stirred up a much confusion as it has excitement. “It can’t be something you’ve already created that now you say, ‘I want to offer this through Creation Club.’ That’s not what Creation Club is about,” Hines explained. And if successful, the Creation Club may be the start of something great enough to spark copycats behind it. Creatio

Nintendo has pulled back the curtain on the first downloadable character that will be joining the roster of its newest fighting game, ARMS. As a result of residing at the top of the tournament bracket for so long, his arms are actually made out of championship belts. When compared to the likes of the noodle-limbed MinMin, Max Brass and his victory-laden arms aren’t all that out-there. With that said, Max Brass will actually be part of the second downloadable update for ARMS, as a spectator mode

Although plenty of fans enjoyed the footage, it left many – including the YouTuber Angry Ewok – pining for the 2005 version of the game, which led Angry Ewok to recreate the aforementioned “Assault on Theed” trailer within the original title made by LucasArts and Pandemic. As seen below in the fan made trailer for Star Wars Battlefront 2‘s Assault on Theed, Angry Ewok managed to pay homage to the 2005 iteration of the title in a loving way by featuring some of the older Naboo map’s most notable

Firaxis Games revealed a massive new XCOM 2 expansion, War of the Chosen, which is so large that it almost became XCOM 3. War of the Chosen is an incredibly ambitious expansion that goes far beyond just adding a few new maps and skins to the existing game. But we’re not going to totally replace the narrative.”The lengthly expansion will introduce three main enemy figureheads across the traditional storyline. Both XCOM and XCOM 2 were very well received by critics, so hopefully the latest expansi

Spider-Man lore has hundreds of iconic stories to pull from, but Insomniac is using this game to tell an original story set in a new Spider-Man world. Insomniac explained that there are two Marvel writers helping with the story. In addition to the tidbit about Marvel writers, Insomiac also explained that the game will feature appearances from classic Spider-Man villains. The inclusion of Marvel writers and some classic villains manage to make this game of show contender seem even more exciting.

E3 2017 has proved to be an important one for Nintendo, with the company taking a lot of time to show off Super Mario Odyssey. This co-operative local multiplayer gameplay for Super Mario Odyssey was revealed during Nintendo’s live stream for day three of E3, during a session playing the game. However, those expecting the local co-op multiplayer mode to be something comprehensive for both players might not find what they want. For now, though, Super Mario Odyssey will at least offer up a little

Recently, those planning to pick up Destiny 2 on PS4 have been able to get a better look at the game’s PS4 exclusive content, including an exclusive Strike, sniper rifle, and ship. Destiny 2’s PlayStation exclusive content will arrive on Xbox One and PC in 2018. — Luke Smith (@thislukesmith) June 15, 2017E3 2017 proved to be a good time to get a great look at the PS4 exclusive content, particularly when it came to Destiny 2‘s PS4 exclusive map. Xbox head Phil Spencer talked at length about conso

So, although the Crucible is coming back in the follow up, Guardians won’t be able to experience any PvP with their own personal rule sets, at least when it releases. The announcement regarding the game’s lack of private matches upon release came during an interview on Kotaku’s E3 2017 podcast, with Destiny 2 director Luke Smith confirming as much. As it so happens, private matches won’t be the only feature absent upon Destiny 2‘s release, as ranked PvP won’t be available at launch either. All t

Now, Bungie has spoken up about the Destiny 2 frame rate issue. Project lead Mark Noseworthy took to Twitter today to clear up some misconceptions about the Xbox One X frame rate, and the reasons behind why the platform would be at 30 FPS. “No partners asked us to either.”Instead, Noseworthy explained that the decisions on each frame rate came down to more important matters than political reasons. “It launches after D2 and so we are focused on the launch consoles right now.”The frame rate of the

With E3 2017 still pressing on, more details about fans’ most anticipated games continue to trickle out from developers and creators, with Bungie having recently revealed that Destiny 2‘s Guided Games feature will not allow Guardians to access Heroic-level activities. For those unaware, Guided Games serves as a matchmaking substitute of sorts for high-end group activities like raids and Nightfall Strikes, but Bungie has now stated that fans using Guided Games will be restricted to activities on

One of the greatest things about Blizzard’s latest first-person shooter Overwatch is the care and devotion that the game’s developers clearly have for the title. Game director Jeff Kaplan himself often personally takes to the online forums in order to inform fans, share a laugh, or in a more recent instance, shut down a troll. Addressing the user directly, Jeff replied:“We play the game a lot. It’s no surprise that the forum responded with such support to Kaplan though, as Jeff is something of a

Although Saints Row the franchise lasted for four entries (and one spin-off), it felt like the series really only came into its own with Saints Row The Third. While playing Agents of Mayhem at E3 2017, we couldn’t help but ask why Volition chose to make this game and not a new Saints Row. After all, Saints Row had become a really strong brand for Volition and publisher Deep Silver (who acquired the property following THQ’s bankruptcy auction). As it turns out, the answer says more about Deep Sil

The original Destiny introduces a number of narrative elements that go completely unanswered in the game’s subsequent expansions. According to Destiny 2 game director Luke Smith, some of those story threads may never be tied up, and they certainly won’t be touched on in Destiny 2. But what about characters like the Exo Stranger? Bungie says Destiny 2 will double down on the story, so there should be plenty of narrative for players to chew on. Destiny 2 launches September 6 on PS4 and Xbox One, a

As it turns out, Xbox head Phil Spencer counts himself as a big Destiny fan too, and has stated that he has played “700 hours” of the game. Either way, 700 hours is a tremendous achievement – although if Spencer is going for the top spot he still has some way to go. Of course, should Phil Spencer want to split his time between multiple platforms, Destiny 2 will also allow him to play the game on PC. Unfortunately, the PC version of the game will release later than the console version on October

The Grand Theft Auto series has been one that has benefitted hugely from modded content, and Grand Theft Auto 5 may well be the title that has inspired creators the most. However, publisher Take-Two Interactive has just struck a serious blow to the modding community. Take-Two Interactive has sent a cease and desist letter to the creators of the Grand Theft Auto 5 modding tool OpenIV. This tool in particular is used by modders of Grand Theft Auto 5, Grand Theft Auto 4, and Max Payne 3, and is a h
