In Destiny 1, players have their Primary, Special, and Heavy weapon slots. But in Destiny 2, those slots have been changed to Kinetic, Energy, and Power weapons. It also solves the problem of players running around the map with powerful weapons like shotguns and sniper rifles, rarely ever having to use their Primary weapon. The new weapon slots also have their benefits for PvE as well. A damage phase typically consists of players using a Heavy weapon then switching straight to a sniper rifle to

PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds is an Early Access Game on Steam, but that isn’t stopping it from soaring in popularity. It seems that the fact that the game is technically still in development also isn’t keeping its developers from thinking about what a single-player campaign would look like for the game, which is currently multiplayer-only. So how would the Battle Royale-style game that mixes survival game elements with a military shooter work as a single-player campaign? Where it’s a bustling i

Overwatch game director Jeff Kaplan responds to backlash about the game’s loot boxes. Fans aren’t happy about Overwatch‘s Anniversary event loot boxes and say that it’s just too expensive to unlock all of the game’s new content. Overwatch loot boxes are the game’s bread and butter and are how developer Blizzard makes so much money from the multiplayer shooter. But when the game’s Anniversary Event went live, players quickly realized the huge cost it would take to unlock all 108 of pieces of new

And thanks to a discount offered by Amazon, Prime members can now preorder the game for 20 percent off for any of the three platforms Destiny 2 is set to release on. What makes this remarkable is the fact that it apparently applies to both the physical and digital copy of Destiny 2. Traditionally, Amazon Prime has offered members a discount on game preorders, but only for the physical copy of the game. This bit of news has frustrated some PC gamers, though others are happy to finally get a chanc

Monster Hunter XX will be the first game of the franchise on the Switch, continuing the series that is extremely popular in Japan. However, it has never been easier for fans in the West to get their hands on a game like Monster Hunter XX. The Switch and Monster Hunter could be a match made in beast-hunting heaven, combining the addictive gameplay of Monster Hunter with the on-the-go mobility of the Switch.

Gears of War Creator Cliff Bleszinski is busy developing LawBreakers, his first game since leaving Epic Games and founding his own Boss Key Productions. However, for anyone hoping for cross-play between PS4 and PC—the answer is a resounding never going to happen. Interestingly, what Bleszinski does not think is dumb is cross-play between consoles, specifically PS4 and Xbox One. The PS4 version is not a port outsourced to another developer, but was created and fine tuned in-house by the team at B

Ultra Street Fighter 2: The Final Challengers is not the latter. To clarify, the many different iterations of Street Fighter 2 have slowly helped push the title as one of the greatest fighting games ever released, and Ultra Street Fighter 2: The Final Challengers is no exception. It’s easy to see how fans of the game could surrender hours that are dedicated to levelling up their rank and mastering the intricacies of the title, but this hook isn’t exclusive to Ultra Street Fighter 2. It needs to

Capcom’s reveal that Monster Hunter XX, the expanded version of Monster Hunter Generations, will be coming to the Switch has had extremely positive results for Nintendo. The announcement has resulted in a massive stock boost for Nintendo, signifying more market faith in the company’s latest console.

Fans of the original Crash Bandicoot games have been amping themselves up for the remastered collection known as Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy, and publisher Activision is doing its best to keep gamers entertained through a series of trailers.

It’s yet another well-remembered level from the original series that has been chosen as subject for a trailer, with the latest Crash Bandicoot N.

Thanks to the document, we have a slightly better idea of when we can expect two of the studio’s biggest upcoming releases; Kingdom Hearts 3 and Final Fantasy 7 Remake. Meanwhile, it’s previously been stated that Kingdom Hearts 3 was unlikely to see release in 2017. Still, it’s easy to see why fans are tired of waiting for these games, particularly in the case of Final Fantasy 7 Remake. Kingdom Hearts 3 and Final Fantasy 7 Remake are definitely hotly anticipated titles — but its difficult to see

Far Cry 5 looks and feels like the kind of game that will mark a critical moment in Ubisoft’s frontier exploring franchise. In an interview with Game Rant, Ubisoft executive producer Dan Hay discussed the way that setting the game in Montana allowed the team at Ubisoft to create a new, exciting Far Cry experience. I have a completely different experience. I don’t know of the plane…I have something that is a completely different experience with different groups of characters. Far Cry 5 will relea

Square Enix has released a new trailer for Final Fantasy 12: The Zodiac Age that focuses on the game’s unique combat mechanics called the Gambit System. When it originally released in 2016, Final Fantasy 12 handled combat in a way fans of the series had never seen before.

In this countdown style video, the narrator begins by explaining how these changes are being carried over and improved upon further

Rockstar Games’ delay of Red Dead Redemption 2 could be good news for games like Destiny 2, according to video game retailer GameStop. While GameStop clearly isn’t too fussed by Red Dead Redemption 2‘s delay, those working on games with fall 2017 release dates will also be over the moon. In fact, although gamers may be disappointed with Red Dead Redemption 2‘s delay in the short-term, some will be glad to avoid a repeat of holiday 2016. With Red Dead 2 not out till next year, though, fans have o

Since making a big splash at E3, Rare’s Sea of Thieves has remained pretty quiet about its development process. Given that Sea of Thieves is already committing to so much content and innovation, then, it makes sense that details have been trickling out rather than flooding. That’s what makes a recent interview with Sea of Thieves Campaign Producer Christina Parker so interesting. Another revelation from the interview, however, was that Rare will be using other online multiplayer games as inspira

While reception to Call of Duty: WW2 has been mostly positive so far, some fans have complained that the game’s inclusion of female soldiers will make it historically inaccurate. Besides learning that female characters will be included in the campaign, Sledgehammer also reiterated that female soldiers will be featured in Call of Duty: WW2‘s multiplayer mode. In addition to the multiplayer and campaign, we now know that female characters will be in Call of Duty: WW2‘s Zombies mode as well. Zombie

Far Cry 5 launches on February 27, 2018 for PC, PS4, and Xbox One.
