There aren’t many figures more polarizing in the video game industry than Michael Pachter. It’s a bold statement, and one that smacks of technological optimism, but Pachter isn’t asserting that console gaming will be completely gone – just that companies like Sony and Microsoft will adapt to the changing technological landscape. Many critics have praised the way Nintendo has seamlessly blended handheld and console gaming into one device, and it is possible that Sony and Microsoft follow suit whe

Even though UK based developer Ninja Theory is deep into development on its next game, the studio continually receives requests for sequels to games like Enslaved, Heavenly Sword, or DmC: Devil May Cry. The biggest hurdle that that’s currently standing in the way of any potential sequel is the fact that Ninja Theory doesn’t actually own the IP for a game like DmC: Devil May Cry. Antoniades admitted that a Heavenly Sword sequel would likely have been darker and starred Nariko’s adopted sister Kai

Best Buy will have stock of the NES Classic Edition on sale today. This shipment of NES Classic Edition consoles will be exclusive to brick-and-mortar locations, and will not be offered online. Its Japanese variant, the Famicom Mini, is also being given the chop, despite its enormous popularity. It’s rumored that Nintendo is killing off the NES Classic Edition because there are plans for a follow-up to release later this year. A SNES Classic Edition would definitely be another huge money-maker —

One of the least surprising bits of leaked information is that Call of Duty: WW2 will reportedly launch on November 3rd, keeping with the recent trend of Call of Duty games releasing the first Friday of November. Call of Duty: WW2‘s supposed release date was leaked thanks to some marketing materials for the game that were posted on Reddit. Even so, it’s worth noting that Call of Duty: WW2‘s release date isn’t set in stone until Activision makes an official announcement. It’s likely that clarific

One fan by the name of Samkat became so enamored with the film that they decided to pay homage to it using by some incredible creativity, and a little help from Grand Theft Auto 5. Combining some desert footage captured using Grand Theft Auto 5‘s Director Mode, and some of their own 2D Logan fan art of the characters Logan, Laura, and Professor Charles Xavier, Samkat managed to create a loving animated homage to the film. It’s hard not to be impressed by Samkat’s work, whose combination of Grand

It is this concern that Star Wars Battlefront 2 developer Motive Studios has addressed head-on in a recent interview. While speaking to PlayStation Lifestyle, Motive’s Content Producer Paola Jouyaux explains that Electronic Arts’ decision to have his studio develop the Star Wars Battlefront 2 single player speaks volumes about the publisher’s investment in the mode. At the same time, quality and quantity are two different elements, so there is no way of knowing how long of a campaign Motive is s

Activision has recently confirmed that the next Call of Duty title would see the series returning to World War 2, and the publisher even gave fans a glimpse of the upcoming title’s cover. The cover to Call of Duty: WW2 sets the tone while bearing few surprises, and it turns out that it’s also not the first game image to be structured exactly like it is. Both of these images feature a helmeted and war-torn soldier clutching dog tags, looking thoughtfully forward. What do you think about the Call

The most recent rumor is that Call of Duty: WW2 will feature Transformers actor Josh Duhamel. Fans are also trying to connect the dots between this and a particular image that was leaked from Call of Duty: WW2 featuring a soldier that bears a resemblance to Duhamel. It wouldn’t be a surprise if a big-name actor was cast in Call of Duty: WW2. The official reveal for Call of Duty: WW2 is set for Wednesday, April 26 and could offer confirmation of Duhamel’s involvement with the project. Call of Dut

But what is catching the ire of fans is the fact that this DLC for Modern Warfare Remastered costs $5 more than the same content did in 2008 when it came to the original Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare. Granted, the remastered DLC also includes 10 “Rare” supply drops, guaranteeing players unique cosmetic items that would normally have been unlocked through gameplay or by spending money. But Modern Warfare Remastered has done it differently, issuing paid DLC post-launch, just as the original game

Fans of both Red Dead Redemption and Grand Theft Auto 5 got excited last month when news broke that a modding team was working to insert the map from Red Dead Redemption into GTA 5. But now, the team involved with the mod says the project has been cancelled following intervention from publisher Take-Two Interactive. “So thanks guys, but it isn’t going to happen, sorry.”The mod, called Red Dead Redemption V, would have inserted the entire map from the original Red Dead Redemption into Grand Theft

However, some fans may have noticed that one important element of the game, its single player mode, was absent from the trailer. As it turns out, Friday the 13th: The Game‘s single player mode won’t be available at launch, possibly explaining why it was nowhere to be seen in the release date trailer. Anyone interested in playing Friday the 13th: The Game‘s single player campaign will have to wait for it to be added as a free update at some point this summer. For some fans, Friday the 13th: The G

That’s because Atlus, the game’s developer, originally designed the title for the PS3, and it is only because Persona 5 took so long to make that it was eventually brought to the PS4 as well. The ten-minute examination of Persona 5 compares both the PS4 and PS3 versions, and although the game’s incredible style and aesthetics shine through in both, there are some notable differences, leading to speculation that the PS4 edition of Persona 5 could be a remastered version of its PS3 counterpart:For

Not 24 hours after a team of Guardians set a world record for taking down the Templar in Destiny’s Vault of Glass raid, another team has set a new record of only 15 seconds. In the Reddit post, a Destiny gamer going by Sweatcicle describes the process the group took to set the record. Next it’s on to beating the Aethoen world record. With Destiny 2 set to release this September, it’ll be interesting to see how many more Destiny records are broken or set as gamers prepare for the highly-anticipat
