The launch was a one-time-only thing, but the giant, glowing rift it put in the sky is definitely getting bigger with each passing day. It’s definitely getting bigger faster than the comet did back in season 3 . They seem to be getting bigger too, naturally. It’ll be cool to watch these things keep expanding and popping up in new places as the season nears its end. Others think the rocket punched a hole in a colossal, otherwise invisible dome or force field around the battle royale island.

With the staggering number of TVs flooding the market, even a quality panel like TCL’s 55R617 4K HDR offering can get lost in the crowd. It’s the #1 pick in our best gaming TV guide. In short, it’s the mid-budget TV we’d recommend above all others for gaming and streaming – at this price it punches well above its weight.

“GTA VI Coming 2019”: this is the message that has popped up across the screens of many a GTA Online player over the last few days and, naturally, people are confused. Could it really be that GTA 6 is launching next year, in such close proximity to the release of Red Dead Redemption 2? Read more The best upcoming games of 2018But that’s a very glass half full outlook on the situation. GTA 5 is still selling like hot cakes, and Red Dead Redemption 2 will likely do the same, so both franchises nee

If you’ve seen Ready Player One you might (just a guess here) have noticed that the movie is full to the brim with Easter eggs, winks, nods and more references than we all knew what to do with. The Arkham Knight, from the Rocksteady game of the same name, was actually glimpsed in a scene thanks to the magic of the home release and a very observant fan. As Percival makes his way through the Anorak archives, in which many of the world’s secrets are kept, the camera pans towards the entrance and, a

So, are you ready for a title that sounds even more ominous than the events of Avengers: Infinity War? There’s also the fact that Kevin Feige warned that the title would be a spoiler for Infinity War. While it’s not a direct spoiler, it’s surely something you wouldn’t have wanted to know going into Avengers: Infinity War. Can we add Avengers: End Game to the list of new Marvel movies? Not quite yet – but still make sure you’ve planned your year(s) out accordingly anyway.

PS4 Pro checks in at 4.2 Tflops per second, and Xbox One X at 6 Tflops per second. “At Sumo we have not made any sacrifices to the gameplay to support 4K rendering” Ash Bennet, Studio Technical DirectorNot all developers are having to use these tricks. “We’ll always support 4K mode, if we’re intending on targeting it, from the earliest point in the production cycle. “At Sumo we have not made any sacrifices to the gameplay to support 4K rendering,” he says. “For Xbox One X we’re using 4K by 4K te

At E3 2018 we got a glimpse of the sequel, Dying Light 2 , and a chance to talk to Techland’s lead game designer Tymon Smektała about what we could expect. What were the first changes you wanted to make for Dying Light 2? The first one was that we did a successful game with Dying Light, and people liked that gameplay. It influences the story, because if humanity goes back to the Dark Ages then it behaves like it did in the Dark Ages. Did that make Dying Light 2 a harder game to make, because it

Fortnite has ditched the Final Fight rules variant for larger team battles and gone back to 50v50. Thankfully, that’s all been worked out and 50v50 is live now.

Unfortunately, Final Fight has attracted significant criticism in both of its variants: Teams of 20 and Teams of 12, the latt

TV shows are in danger of eating themselves. 92 minutes later we got some answers, plus a whole host of additional questions, the main one being: Are TV episodes just getting too long? Now, platforms such as Netflix and Amazon Prime chuck money at auteurs with the intention of giving them carte blanche when it comes to bloated TV shows. Game of Thrones season 8 is a little over (or under, depending on who you ask) a year away. Give me the classic 13-episode run please, for the love of god, give

You get XP for doing just about anything but pay attention to the challenges to pop even more points. Yes, it’s the Steam Summer Sale 2018, which is still running until July 5, meaning you’ve got plenty of time to grab yourself some tasty gaming treats. You could even try your hand at the Steam Summer Sale game itself, called Saliens. Head over to the newly created Saliens sub-Reddit for some tips, but probably just buy yourself something in the Steam Sale and play that instead. Sam LoveridgeWha

Let’s face it, Nier: Automata was never likely to offer the friendliest of welcomes. “Nier is an incredible, beautiful, fun, important game to our medium.” he wrote. Nier: Automata wants you to experiment – and failIn allowing for a degree of creativity, it also leaves the door ajar for some good old- fashioned human error. If the first run through Nier: Automata is a little underwhelming, that’s partly because we’re asked to play a character who seems unfeeling throughout. In giving its players

First, there was the announcement that Netflix and Telltale would be teaming up to bring Minecraft: Story Mode to the streaming platform as its first playable title. Now, as of today, Kotaku has reported that Google is currently working on a technically advanced streaming console set to go toe to toe with Xbox and PlayStation in the mainstream gaming sphere.

If you don’t know, there are 45 million Fortnite players worldwide and it’s been breaking records with its 3.4 million concurrent users. However, Epic also did something rather unusual, it announced Fortnite would be released as a free-to-play game in 2014. Fortnite: Battle Royale had a clear line to success over in the PlayStation camp. Although we have no solid facts there’s plenty of things Epic is already doing for 2019 and beyond. The possibilities are endless for a game like Fortnite, a ga

There is, of course, the small matter of what went down in Avengers: Infinity War to be cleared away but, beyond that, Doctor Strange 2 is now a very real thing. Kevin Feige has confirmed as much in a recent interview, but when can we expect Stephen Strange’s sophomore standalone to hit cinemas? Benedict Cumberbatch will survive post-Avengers 4 and make his way out of the dust-based predicament he finds himself in towards an eventual release of Doctor Strange 2. Judging by Feige’s reference to a

Razer is known for its pretty Chroma colored lights, but this new keyboard uses light in a different way. “Unlike traditional mechanical switches that have a lot of moving parts and actuate via metallic contact, the Razer Opto-Mechanical Switch enables actuation via light,” says Razer. The keyboard comes in two flavors, and the Huntsman Elite also has a “multi-function digital dial with three tactile media keys” that you can program to your specifications. “We have amassed years of experience de

“In Destiny 2 Update 1.2.3, we will be launching Prestige versions of both Spire of Stars and Eater of Worlds raid lairs,” says senior raid designer Joe Blackburn “Prestige raid lairs use new activity modifiers and a new system of curated loadouts to challenge you in new and exciting ways each week.” Each Prestige raid lair has a set of unique armor ornaments, and a Masterwork catalyst. “The only way to get 400 Power weapons before Forsaken is by completing Prestige Spire of Stars and Eater of W

This past weekend, as I exited a showing of Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom, I couldn’t stop thinking a peculiar thought: “Did I just watch Star Wars: The Last Jedi, but with dinosaurs?” Wherever Jurassic Park goes from here, it can’t go back. In Fallen Kingdom, the moment couldn’t be more clear. The chaos unleashed by the first Jurassic Park will not be contained. The Last Jedi and Fallen Kingdom prove they’re both right.

Elder Scrolls fans are still shook from that surprise E3 announcement of Elder Scrolls 6 , even if all we got was a landscape and a font . Now Bethesda boss Todd Howard is blessing the loyal and the dedicated a few crumbs of delicious development detail. “The first thing we do is the world, so we’ve known for a while where it’s set,” he told Eurogamer, before refusing to confirm or deny theories that it would be Hammerfell. [If we didn’t say anything, fans] would be disappointed and they’d still

Cyberpunk 2077 will have a healthy appreciation for future (and slightly less future) music. Music has long been an essential part of the Cyberpunk world, both as a form of commercial entertainment and as countercultural protest. The Cyberpunk 2020 tabletop role-playing game, which Cyberpunk 2077 is largely based on, featured musicians (therein referred to as Rockerboys) as one of its ten primary classes. That kind of weird stuff helped 2020 feel not just cyber but punk, and I hope 2077 captures

Xbox got the crowd hollering at E3 2018 with the announcement of Halo Infinite , and now it’s doubling down on Master Chief in a deal with Showtime for its previously announced TV show. The ten-episode season will go into production next year, with Awake and Lone Star writer Kyle Killen as showrunner. “This is a truly exciting moment for the Halo franchise,” says Kiki Wolfkill, head of Halo Transmedia at 343 Industries. “Together with our creative and production partners at Showtime and Amblin T
