It’s also nice to see D.Va characterized beyond her ‘lol git gud’ voice lines; I guess that’s a competitive persona she drops when she’s hanging out with close friends. Though I gotta admit… this video mostly makes me want Blizzard to add one of those flying squid Omnics with the bunny ears as a playable character. Make a genius hacker flying squirrel pilot it or something, I don’t care, just gimme that Nendoroid. That wasn’t all Blizzard had to show for Overwatch fans at Gamescom 2018. If you w

Richard E. Grant, recently confirmed to appear in Star Wars 9, is renowned for his roles as nefarious evildoers. His answer was unequivocal: “I’m not playing the Star Wars character you just mentioned.” Well, that’s that then……or is it? Otherwise I would be fired,” as well as revealing Star Wars 9 has “a complete lockdown on any information whatsoever.” So, of course he would say that. It’s also pretty damning, too, that he already knows Thrawn is a Star Wars character, despite the blue-skinned

One such slashed offer is the LG 55SK8000PLB, seen above. LG 55SK8000PLB – Picture qualitySuffice to say, the LG 55SK8000PLB is an absolute stunner when it comes to the visual department. LG 55SK8000PLB – Sound systemAs with many LG TVs, the LG 55SK8000PLB comes equipped with an in-built Dolby Atmos sound system, designed for the kind of cinematic noise-waves that you’d expect from a television of this calibre. This isn’t the case for the LG 55SK8000PLB, which boasts a ThinQ AI program that migh

But that’s pretty much how I solve all my problems in Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice – with a very sharp blade. This is a game that’s being made by FromSoftware, the devilish minds behind titles like Dark Souls and Bloodborne. And although it’s being published by Activision, don’t take that to mean that it’s going to be more accessible or easier. And that’s especially true in terms of the combat. This is not a game that’s kind to the (incredibly powerful and agile) elderly.

EA confirmed earlier this summer that FIFA 19 would see fictional footballing superstar Alex Hunter return for a third and final instalment of popular story mode The Journey. Now we know it’s called The Journey: Champions, and he won’t be coming alone – as long-time pal Danny Williams and sister Kim Hunter were today announced as playable characters. While both have been introduced in previous outings – Williams (played by Chris Walters) in FIFA 17 , Kim (Lisa Solberg) last time out – this year

No, that’s not the start of a terrible dad joke, but the premise for a new game based on the gasoline guzzling show The Grand Tour. The Grand Tour Game will be released for PS4 and Xbox One and will tie in with the Prime show. “It’s a video game featuring me, the crashy one, and the slow one. Craig Sullivan is the current creative director at Amazon Game Studios, but previously lead designer on Burnout Paradise at Criterion Games, and has also worked on the Need for Speed series. “The Grand Tour

Halo: The Master Chief Collection is about to get a 4K-sized kick in the pants. The assemblage of Halo 1-4 and Halo 3: ODST is coming to Xbox Game Pass on September 1, bringing with it a suite of bug fixes, matchmaking improvements, and visual improvements for those playing on Xbox One X, including 4K resolution and HDR support. If you’ve somehow missed out on all the drama, the short and sweet version is that Halo: The Master Chief Collection was not as well-received as fans (and surely Microso

Fallout 76 wants to talk to you about building bases and guns, and it has the perfect medium to convey this information: vintage-but-way-more-violent looking educational cartoons. Also, there’s a lot of blood and gore, because Fallout has been super into that ever since it made the “Bloody Mess” perk a real thing you could unlock. Just watch out that the other players don’t immediately turn around, murder you, and take your junk . Bethesda has previously put out two other animated explainer vide

Let’s take a deeper look at the screenshots, introduced with the titles CDPR gave them in their filenames. The towering industrial equipment behind them reinforces CD Projekt Red’s desire to make Night City vertically, not just horizontally, expansive. Outnumbered but not OutgunnedHere we’re re-introduced to V’s friend Jackie Welles – he’s the only one without a weird mass of glowing orange lights poking out of his head. He’s also the only other one who seems to be on your side in this particula

When DICE revealed that Battlefield 5 would be ditching the season pass in favor of a drip-feed of new content, many wondered how far this philosophy would go. doled out over the course of the game’s lifespan was expected, but would the same be true for War Stories, Battlefield 5’s single-player mode? Turns out, nope – you’re getting all of the game’s solo content at launch. As for what you can expect from the Battlefield 5 single-player campaign, look to Battlefield 1 . If Battlefield 5’s War S

DICE faced a dumb, not entirely unexpected backlash for including women in the latest installment of its Battlefield series. Now Aleksander Grondal, executive producer at DICE, has declared his wish that the team added women to 2016’s Battlefield 1 too, explaining that it’s not about just following a trend. I don’t think it’s a bandwagon thing, I think it’s about gamers wanting to express themselves in different ways. I still think it’s the right thing to do, and I still think it’s the right thi

To describe the upcoming Stone sounds a bit like you’ve just thrown darts at a wall full of random words, or played Mad Libs with a second-year Philosophy Major after their third pint. Put simply, Stone is a narrative-driven game starring a koala detective who loves hip-hop and smoking weed, on a quest to find and rescue his missing boyfriend. “I wanted to make Stone a different type of story from what you usually see in games,” says Convict Games’ founder Greg Louden. I think it’s more traditio

Looking forward to Fallout 76 , Battlefield 5 , and/or Shadow of the Tomb Raider and want the games to look as good as possible on console? Of the three, the Xbox One X Shadow of the Tomb Raider bundle is the most basic. As for why you’d want to play Shadow of the Tomb Raider on Xbox One X, it’s all about that increased visual fidelity. Shadow of the Tomb Raider supports 4K resolution, high-dynamic range (HDR), and even the option to switch between a 60fps, 1080p resolution mode and a 30fps, 4K

Whip-smart Evie Frye was the best thing about Assassin’s Creed Syndicate, and she’s back for Assassin’s Creed Odyssey . Sure, she’s not a playable character, but you can get her from the Ubi Store as a Special Lieutenant for your ship. The Assassin’s Creed Odyssey release date is set for October 5 on PS4, Xbox One, and PC, with the stealth action taking place in Ancient Greece circa 431 BC. Check out our hands-on Assassin’s Creed Odyssey preview for more information about how it all works. While

Of all the announcements to come out of Gamescom 2018 so far, the announcement of a new horror anthology series from Supermassive Games will send the strongest shiver down the spines of horror fans. The Dark Pictures Anthology will launch in 2019, and the first game will be Man of Medan, the tale of a diving trip gone wrong. “With each title being a stand-alone game we have the opportunity to create a unique horror experience every time, with new stories, settings, characters and cast.” says Sup

PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds is leaving Xbox Game Preview to become a ‘Full Product Release,’ or 1.0, on September 4. With that comes new things including full Achievements, the smaller Sanhok map, the team-based War mode, an Event Pass and microtranstations. So leaving Game Preview doesn’t mean the game will stop evolving and improving according to Nico. And, like on PC, Sanhok’s introduction will bring with it PlayerUnknown’s Event Pass which will let you unlock and collect items by completin

The Predator is… funny? From the outside, The Predator looks like it’s repeating that pattern (I mean, why can’t at least one of the soldiers be a woman too? ), but this very human and funny scene, proves that this hero group will be able to hold our attention throughout the film. Bracket, McKenna, and McKenna’s son Rory (played by Jacob Tremblay) are trying to escape from a Predator, which is hunting them through what looks like a school building. Suffice to say, they don’t manage it, and it

In what might just be the weirdest story you’ll see all week, Viserion’s re-appearance in Game of Thrones season 7 has a big secret. The audio for the dragon’s scream was actually the result of a bunch of fans getting really, really sozzled on gin (we’ve all been there) and recording audio that would later be remixed into one of the season’s key moments. The moment in question – spoilers for those who haven’t seen the Game of Thrones season 7 ending yet – features a resurrected Viserion under th

James Gunn is moving on from his Marvel (and Guardians of the Galaxy 3) firing. The director, who received his marching orders just hours before he was scheduled to present the as-yet-unnamed horror movie at San Diego Comic Con 2018, is clearly in high demand. While Gunn isn’t going head-to-head with Marvel anytime soon, it’s becoming abundantly clear that other massive studios don’t see Gunn as the hot potato Disney were so keen to drop without fanfare. Either way, one thing is for certain: a J

From what I understand about the Wild West, or at least pop culture’s fanciful projection of its mythology, there wasn’t much in the way of subterfuge. Yet, somehow, Desperados 3 makes the notion of the stealthy frontiersman look not just viable, but like a plausible portrayal of how conflict went down in the West. Having released the critically acclaimed Shadow Tactics: Blades of the Shogun in 2016, the developer was given the chance to bring back the Desperados IP, which originally started lif
