In this AMA, Barone discussed what he learned during his time developing Stardew Valley. It’s no secret that Stardew Valley is the ultimate ‘what if’ story for Harvest Moon. Stardew Valley seems to be from the parallel universe where Harvest Moon stayed on SNES and grew within the confines of the colorful 16-bit canvas. The part that makes Stardew Valley special though, is Barone’s ability to strike nostalgic tones, while also bringing something new to the table. An announcement seems very far o

It is Tuesday, and that means that Destiny 2 has officially been hit with its Weekly Reset! Today, Guardians will be able to explore the Iron Banner (with its new features) and get some sweet Iron Banner armor, as well as get some nice loot for completing challenges and strikes. Other than that, it’s the usual business (plus the Iron Banner). The Call to Arms is the usual Crucible challenge, play a few matches and get a Powerful Engram. Please be aware that Meditations are on a different time ro

Star Wars: The Last Jedi is coming so soon that we’re starting to get that itch. But Disney has given us some ointment in the form of a final trailer for the film before its Christmas release. But be warned, it may give away more than you’d like from a Star Wars trailer. In fact, director Rian Johnson tweeted that he’s torn about recommending the trailer to those who want to “come in clean”. It’s also been revealed that The Last Jedi is actually set to be the longest Star Wars film to date.

This week, it was revealed that the Xbox One X is being offered with Forza 7, Halo 5 and Quantum Break in one convenient bundle. This pre-order deal is being offered by a dealer called Currys PC World, which seems, unfortunately, to only be offered in Europe. For those who can take advantage of this deal however, £449.99 is the average price of the Xbox One X by itself, so you’d essentially be getting Forza 7, Halo 5, and Quantum Break for free. There are already reports stating that the Xbox On

Have you ever wondered what type of Destiny player other people in your state are? What’s interesting about the data Zippia found is that while Destiny 2 players adopted the Dawnblade class for Warlocks, they didn’t adopt the other new classes. According to Zippia, Gunslinger remains the most popular Hunter class and Striker is the most popular Titan class. What makes it even worse is that the Arcstrider and Sentinal subclasses appeared at the bottom of the list, next to Sunbreaker. The most pop

Assassin’s Creed Origins is coming at the end of this month. As such, it’s no surprise to see the Trophy list crop up on the PSNProfiles page. One interesting Trophy called ‘Namaste’ can be unlocked by using “Dawn & Dusk to make time speed forward 30 times.” While previous Assassin’s Creed titles suffered from sequel fatigue and what we like to call ‘collectible bloat’, Game Director Ashraf Ismail has stated his goal to avoid filler content and Trophy/Achievement bait, instead of filling the gam

Once the NES Classic was officially discontinued by Nintendo, rumors of the SNES Classic began making their rounds and eventually, those rumors (based on a trademark for the SNES’ Super Famicon controller) were confirmed with the announcement of the SNES Classic. The trademark doesn’t mention the term ‘Game Boy Classic,’ but it doesn’t need to. The trademark itself covers every type of tech item – including home video game software, home video game consoles, computers, and non-tech items like ke

With that said, we’re going to be getting a brand new Halloween film next year and there’s been some debate about what movie’s are considered cannon in this series. So, Halloween creator John Carpenter has set the record straight. It’s almost an alternative reality,” Carpenter described the film. I’m impressed.”The film will take place forty years after the original movie and Jamie Lee Curtis is set to reprise her role as Laurie Strode, Judy Greer is in talks to play her daughter in the film. Th

Last week, Bungie announced that they would be introducing a new level of difficulty to the Leviathan Raid. The mode, called Prestige Raid, was set to release alongside the Iron Banner event when the weekly reset hits on Tuesday October 10th. Bungie announced today in a community forum post that the Prestige Raid mode will be delayed to next week. “It’s important to us that the team who earns World First status doesn’t have their legacy tarnished by doubt, skepticism, or uncertainty,” wrote Bung

EA has announced that the Star Wars: Battlefront 2 Multiplayer Beta has been extended for a few more days in a move that feels like was the plan all along. The game’s Loot Crates are packed with more than mere cosmetic items, as they primarily feature in-game credits, crafting items, and Star Cards. Star Cards directly affect the moment to moment action, as they function as added abilities and/or stat buffs. Using the crafting components unlocked in the Loot Crates can be used to enhance the Sta

Stranger Things is coming back on Netflix later this month, but before it does we best settle in for a light onslaught of teasers. The show’s official Twitter account just dropped one such teaser which appears to reveal the titles of the first six episodes. #StrangerThings pic.twitter.com/NPF1NPNQSt — Stranger Things (@Stranger_Things) October 9, 2017It can be hard to read some of the font going by as quickly as it is, so here’s the breakdown of titles in order.

Spoiler alert (not really), Darth Vader is going to be in Star Wars: Battlefront 2. Here it is:The Dark Lord of the Sith joins the battle in Star Wars Battlefront II. Like the other Heroes and Villains, players can customize Vader to their liking via Battlefront 2’s unlockable Star Cards. Vader’s best asset is his Defense, so augmenting that stat with Defensive Star Cards, and then, in turn, enhancing those Star Cards could make him an unstoppable force. Star Wars: Battlefront 2 releases on PC,

PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds has already set Steam’s record for most concurrent players ever, and its number has only climbed from there. According to Steam Charts (via Kotaku), PUBG is within 15,000 users of breaking the 2 million mark of concurrent players, a feat no other game in Steam history has achieved. Since launching into Steam’s Early Access program back in March, PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds has seen a constant growth in its player base. The game figures to become even larger once i

However, other games, like Battlefront 2 have given gamers cause to pause, and now it appears as though another, Assassin’s Creed: Origins will have them as well. A NeoGAF user spotted what looks to be a Loot Box feature in a recent Gameplay video from YouTuber Centerstrain01. Centerstrain emphasizes in the video that these things are optional, which would seem to indicate that these are Origins’ version of Loot Boxes. But given Ubisoft’s history of having microtransactions in Unity and Syndicat

Last night, I received an email from a listener of our Podcast (The Frak Podcast), who claimed to have exclusive, never before seen images from both The Black Panther and The Avengers: Infinity War. However, when his/her email followed up with the images below, I knew right away, this person was legit. In the images below, we get a look at some promo art, that shows Thanos in a pose we’ve never seen before with the Infinity Gauntlet, equipped with all of the Infinity Stones. The third image appe

Call of Duty: WWII is shaping up to be one of the biggest games of 2017. Of course, the roots of Call of Duty lie within one of the darkest wars in human history, World War II. Players use machine guns, shotguns, rocket launchers, and explosives to kill enemy soldiers; some weapon attacks result in decapitation and/or dismemberment, leaving bloodstains and body parts on the ground. Cutscenes also depict instances of violence: a prisoner shot in the head at close-range; enemy soldiers shooting th

When the SNES Classic first released it was verified that the retro game emulator was using the exact same hardware as the NES Classic. The SNES Classic uses recycled hardware from the NES Classic, which gave hackers hope that they could get break into the SNES Classic and get it to play more games in no time. All hackers had to do to get into the SNES Classic was update the tool they used to hack the NES Classic, HackChi, and connect the SNES Classic to a PC. From there, it wasn’t hard to add o

Ridley Scott kicked off the Alien movie franchise back in 1979 and has managed to carry on the series to its sixth installment earlier this year. Alien: Covenant, the sequel to Prometheus, is the latest addition to the series, having released May 4th, 2017, and while the franchise has always featured an A.I. character, the latest film put A.I. Sure, there were plenty of Xenomorphs in the movie, but the mastermind behind the drama was actually the A.I. We have actually quite a big layout for the
