But as fans looked closer, they began to wonder: where were the 100-percent destructible environments glimpsed years earlier? Game design director Gareth Wilson told Eurogamer they haven’t gone anywhere – it’s just a feature unique to multiplayer, which wasn’t the focus at E3. “The destruction was always planned for the multiplayer side of the game,” Wilson said. Wilson also said that the story of Crackdown 3 is about saving the city of New Providence, not destroying it. Wilson said keeping the

Horizon: Zero Dawn is almost definitely going to get a sequel, and probably more beyond that. I think we’ll be in the Horizon business for a long time.”Horizon: Zero Dawn’s “The Frozen Wilds” DLC will be the next chapter when it arrives sometime in 2017. But if the Horizon roadmap goes for “multiple years” at least one more full game is a given. “That’s something else you’re going to see from us coming out over the years: how can we better leverage all these franchise IPs that we have?” For more

Unfortunately, GTA 5 mods have been in the headlines in recent days for a much less fun reason. A C&D letter isn’t legal action itself, but it does come with the explicit threat of legal action if its demands aren’t met. Unfortunately OpenIV enables recent malicious mods that allow harassment of players and interfere with the GTA Online experience for everybody. Most GTA Online cheaters probably use pre-built exploits instead of creating their own, so it won’t really affect them. That should hav

I love Rabbid Peach. From the moment she showed up in the trailer for Mario + Rabbids: Kingdom Battle, I adored her sassiness and vain attitude – she was a walking lampoon of superficiality and vapidness. So maybe it’s fitting this screaming, self-obsessed mascot now has her own Instagram account. #mariorabbids #rabbidpeach #mario #love #marioodyssey A photo posted by @rabbidpeach on Jun 14, 2017 at 8:43am PDTOne glass of grape juice, one hot bath… What else?

While Marvel and Disney continue to expand the MCU with movies like Spider-Man: Homecoming and its planned sequels, Sony has been busy prepping its own “Marvel Universe” – including Venom and a Black Cat / Silver Sable team-up. But this weekend Homecoming producer (and former Sony boss) Amy Pascal gave a somewhat conflicting report. Juuuust in case you missed the implication there, Filmstarts asked if Tom Holland could show up in Sony’s films. While I can’t deny the excitement I feel over pictur

Super Mario Odyssey’s new friend Cappy and the accompanying “capture” mechanic is provoking some significant philosophical questions – much more so than, say, FLUDD from Super Mario Sunshine.

We’re getting a new adaptation of Stephen King’s ‘you’ve never been this afraid of condensation’ novella The Mist.

Taking place at gyms, Raids mean up to 20 Pokemon trainers can battle simultaneously to take down a seriously high level Pokemon known as a Raid Boss. An egg on top of a gym with a countdown timer will tell you when a Raid is starting. Pokemon Gyms have removed the Prestige system and there’s only six Pokemon slotsFed up of Gyms packed with high CP Dragonites and Snorlax? Pokemon Gyms have fast become only occupied by those with extraordinarily high CP and exceptionally strong Pokemon. And one m

Low poly is the new 2D as far as retro goes, so lets see what games like Far Cry 5, The Last of Us, Fallout 4, GTA 5 and Dark Souls would look like as 1998 releases. These videos are the work of YouTuber 98DEMAKE, who earns bonus points for mocking up the box art as well. Just look at this Dark Souls PS1 disk:And then there’s Dark Souls itself in glorious PS1-o-vision:Elsewhere 98DEMAKE’s had a go at reimagining all sorts of famous games, including a recreation of Far Cry 5’s E3 2017 trailer.

Remember how all our dreams came true when we found out there’s a Dredd TV show on the way? Well, we’ve got an update on where it’s at and what we can expect, thanks to Rebellion CEO Jason Kingsley (via SFX magazine). Although it’s obviously early days, that didn’t stop the Dredd boss from teasing a few details about what fans can expect, revealing that the series could be very different from the movie adaptations. “The show will combine the macabre with the insane and the light-hearted. Even if

But Skull and Bones manages it, lifting the navel battles from Assassin’s Creed: Black Flag lock stock and all the barrels to create a stand alone multiplayer game. It creates a pleasing three way pull between you and the other two factions as you try to navigate combat and looting. There’s a nice twist to all this as well where you can defeat human enemies and steal their collective winnings. It all adds another tactical layer, as you need a team mix to be effective, and have to play to each sh

Not only that, but the town of Twin Peaks plays an increasingly starring role, and old mysteries resurface with an intriguing new context. David Lynch wasn’t kidding when he said Fire Walk With Me was an important piece of the Twin Peaks puzzle. The theory that Richard Horne (Eamon Farren) is the offspring of Evil Cooper and Audrey is gaining some disturbing weight. Beverly hands a key to Ben, which happens to be for room 315—the room Cooper called home during his stay in Twin Peaks. Last week T

Spider-Man: Homecoming’s post-credits scenes are “definitely worth sticking around for” according to director Jon Watts – who may have also accidentally confirmed the existence of more than one post-credits scene. But surely it won’t top Guardians of the Galaxy 2 and its five post-credits scenes?! Jon Watts confirms that Homecoming has after credit scenes that are definately “worth sticking around for” (Obviously). #Supanova.18 June 2017No official confirmation, but the wording makes it sound li

Death Stranding exists and someone’s played it. President of Sony Interactive Entertainment America Shawn Layden has played it though. So some working demo exists although, even after going hands on, Layden admits he “couldn’t explain to you what the game is.” Speaking in an interview with The Telegraph Layden confirms that the game is “up and running.” he replies, after a pause, “all that and more!”If you want more than catch up with everything we know about Death Stranding, and there’s also th

Leaked minifigs from Lego’s Star Wars: The Last Jedi line may have just revealed a major clue of Snoke’s origins, plus a look at BB-8’s evil brother, BB-9. Because it’s not a Star Wars movie without some cool spoileriffic tie-in Lego figures. I hear Jedi robes are in this season. There isn’t a great deal new to see here following on from Star Wars: The Force Awakens, but it’s cool to see his figure so well-detailed. Yes, that’s pretty much an evil version of BB-8 and, yes, that’s one of the cool

You see, at the heart of The Eaters of Light is a demonstration of how the Doctor’s saviour complex can be downright selfish. Yet when he’s left alone with the Doctor, sparks fly as Matt Lucas and Capaldi bounce off each other. Speaking of that moment: oh boy, we now know the Doctor has one hell of a saviour complex. Really, Doctor? Bill and Nardole know it too.

Did you ever read through the original Destiny lore and get the sense that Bungie’s major antagonist, the Darkness, was super vague and undefined? Well, there’s a reason for that; namely that Bungie’s major antagonist was super vague and undefined. But don’t take it from me – Luke Smith, director of The Taken King and Destiny 2 admitted as much to Kotaku. And we had taken all the races and said, ‘Ah, they’ll just be the Darkness.’ This is why Destiny 2’s story is so squarely focused on the Trave

Original Xbox backwards compatibility coming to Xbox One was one of the highlights of Microsoft’s press conference at E3 2017. “One of the reasons I like bringing the original Xbox compatibility, the 360 compatibility back, is because I want… some of those old games should also get played in this time,” he said. And thus, the demand and enjoyment of single-player games can continue, and we won’t be trapped in a future where every game has to follow Destiny’s model. I don’t think we want to see

Last month, Mark Hamill made some… let’s say “worrying” comments about Star Wars: The Last Jedi. “I at one point had to say to Rian, ‘I pretty much fundamentally disagree with every choice you’ve made for this character,” he told Vanity Fair. Speaking to Variety on the red carpet of the Tony Awards, Hamill clarified his earlier statements. “I got into trouble because I was quoted as saying to Rian that ‘I fundamentally disagree with everything you decided about Luke,’ and it was inartfully phras
