Welp, there’s nothing like a little identity politics-related “controversy” to get you through your day. Fortunately, this time around, it doesn’t appear to be too serious, as some self-described… read more

The SNES Classic was announced earlier this year after Nintendo’s big success with the NES Classic in 2016. So, if you were one of the lucky people to get one or just want to torture yourself with the thought of something you can’t have, Nintendo has released a new video showcasing a bunch of new features for the SNES Classic. My Game Play Demo – This new demo mode will replay your saved Suspend Points as part of the demo game footage instead of using built-in demos. – This new demo mode will re

When Destiny 2 was revealed earlier this year, Bungie quietly revealed that the sequel won’t run at 60 FPS on consoles. Fans were disappointed hear to that the shooter won’t hit a smooth 60 FPS but Bungie claims that the game would suffer if they did make it 60 FPS. It’s about the simulation of the Destiny world. Could we make a Destiny game that ran at 60 fps? Destiny 2 releases on September 6th, 2017 for PS4 and Xbox One while the PC version won’t release until October 24th, 2017.

When the Nintendo Switch got its full reveal at the start of 2017, EA revealed they would support the console with one game this year, FIFA 18. At Gamescom 2017, EA showcased FIFA 18 running live on a Nintendo Switch. The gameplay demo looks really good and appears to be a promising counterpart to the Xbox One/PS4 versions. While not absolutely gorgeous, it has decent visuals and shows that EA put some care into the Nintendo Switch version. FIFA 18 hits Xbox One, Xbox 360 PS4, PS3, PC, and Ninte

Level-5, creator such hits as Ni No Kuni: Wrath of the White Witch and the Professor Layton series, is also responsible for the much under appreciated Dark Cloud and Dark Cloud 2. In fact, the first Dark Cloud was their first entry as a developer of video games. The Dark Cloud series was very well received in 2000 and 2002, but nothing has been said about it since. “There has been a lot of requests and voices to create a Dark Cloud 3 or some form of Dark Cloud. Dark Cloud joined the PlayStation

Blizzard’s game director of Overwatch, Jeff Kaplan, has taken to YouTube to inform the community with another developer update video on some of Overwatch’s upcoming changes. Most of the big changes revolve around the popular competitive mode and seasons. The first big change to the competitive mode is that seasons will be reduced in length, from three months down to just two. One of the bigger complaints that Kaplan noticed from players is the decay of Season Points or SP when your rank is diamo

Game developer Sold Out has announced a new game called Immortal: Unchained, a Souls-inspired third-person shooter with RPG mechanics. It’s being developed as a hardcore game similar to Dark Souls, following the concept of death as a learning experience. But one thing that didn’t sit well in Dark Souls with all players was the way story was told. Immortal: Unchained seems to be more narrative based. Immortal: Unchained will release on PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC in 2018.

Injustice 2 currently stands as one of, if not the best fighters to release this year, and it is continuing its stranglehold on the competition by releasing more and more new fighters. Developer NetherRealm Studios has just released a new cinematic trailer (embedded above) showcasing three new combatants; Raiden (Mortal Kombat), Black Manta, and Hellboy. Previous DLC characters have included Starfire, Red Hood, and Sub-Zero (who made up Fighter Pack 1). Each Fighter Pack DLC is included in the g

When Psyonix announced that Rocket League was coming to the Switch, Nintendo fans rejoiced, as the game is one of best multiplayer games on PC, Xbox One and PS4. The idea of Rocket League on the go is what makes the Switch a great platform. Due to the fact that the Switch version is launching a “tad” bit later than its console competition, Ppsynoix is adding a few cars to the mix that you won’t be able to get anywhere else. The developer is adding three new cars to Rocket League, including one f

Welp, there’s nothing like a little identity politics-related “controversy” to get you through your day. Fortunately, this time around, it doesn’t appear to be too serious, as some self-described “nit-picking” from a Redditor has caused a thread to blow up in popularity, prompting a half-serious (if that) response from Blizzard’s Jeff Kaplan. The issue stems from a sign in the trailer for the Map (embedded above) showing a fast food joint with a sign that reads “take out.” Apparently, the thread

Quake Champions is opening up its player base to the largest digital games distribution platform on the planet, as the game has officially entered Steam’s Early Access program. While the game is due to have a free-to-play version available at some point, the only way to play the game right now is to buy the $30 “Champions Pack.” The Champions Pack circumvents this system entirely and will increase in price to $40 once the game releases in full. Quake Champions doesn’t currently have a firm timel

PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds is PC Gaming’s creme de la creme of 2017, soaring to the upper echelon of Steam’s most played games. As reported by Game Informer, Xbox One fans will be happy to hear that the port is by and large a successful one with its technical performance (the most important thing of all) being among its strongest qualities. Another important tidbit is that Bluehole has successfully been able to translate PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds’ primary features to the controller in an

Fear Effect is a name that gaming hasn’t seen for a long time, but it’s one that a select few fans have never forgotten. After making its debut all the way back in 1999, Fear Effect is getting a “true-to-the-original” remake for a new generation of fans (as well as the old ones) for PS4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, and PC. Fear Effect is an action adventure game, built similarly to the original Resident Evil games with fixed camera angles, but at a much faster pace. Fear Effect is also due to get

Guerrilla Games is tapping into that trend with their narratively-focused Action-RPG, Horizon: Zero Dawn as their latest patch, 1.32 has introduced “Story Difficulty,” which lowers the burden of the moment-to-moment action. Conversely, Horizon: Zero Dawn had previously released an “Ultra Hard” difficulty for more hardcore players, so now the game can appeal to players far and wide. Horizon: Zero Dawn originally released back on February 28th to the tune of an average Metacritic score of 89. Hori

Players and their squads (6 vs 6) must use teamwork to build bridges, escort a tank or destroy an enemy bunker. The other big addition is the “headquarters” mode or lobby. Instead of signing on and going to a lobby with either your friends or 12 other people, you’re instead placed in a massive headquarters, a bunker basically, with 40+ other players. Also, the Call of Duty WWII Beta for PS4 kicks off this week, so if you’re interested, you need to pre-order soon to get your beta code. There will

It’s been a big week for Final Fantasy XV at Gamescom 2017. Following the reveal of the long-desired PC version, Final Fantasy XV will be going mobile as well, but not quite in the way the game stands as is. Built from the ground up, and optimized for mobile, Final Fantasy XV: Pocket Edition will be an episodic retelling of Noctis’ journey to reclaim his throne with an all-new touch-based battle system and adorable visuals. Check out the trailer below:Final Fantasy XV: Pocket Edition will be tol

Much like its predecessor, the SNES Classic Edition is proving to be a hotly sought-after item, and as quickly as Best Buy and Amazon opened their pre-orders in the middle of the night last night (for whatever reason), the stock vanished in minutes. Best Buy opened their pre-orders around 1:30 AM EST last night and Amazon did so around 5 AM EST. When you find out that SNES Classic pre-orders went live while you were sleeping. pic.twitter.com/6mbS7Pysc5 — Erik Cervantes (@erikcervantes) August 22

Gamescom 2017 has been full of fun surprises, but if anything was lacking, you could argue that a new IP might top that hypothetical wish list. Enter BioMutant, a brand new open-world Action-RPG from THQ Nordic and independent developer Experiment 101. The game will feature mechs, paragliders, balloons, mounts, and jet skis along with enough character choice to give each player their own unique hero. The development team is made up of former Just Cause 3 and Mad Max devs, so there’s reason to ex

As Gwent pushes ever closer to its full releases, CD Projekt RED is changing up the promo material to give us a look at a different side of the game. Thronebreaker is the name of the game’s campaign mode, which to this point has been kept pretty much entirely under wraps until now thanks to a new trailer (embedded above). In Thronebreaker, players take on the role of Meve, a war-veteran queen of two Northern Realms facing an imminent foreign invasion. The campaign will explore parts of the world

With Titanfall 2’s recent release on EA Access and EA Origin in the rearview mirror, there is more potential than ever for Respawn to keep and grow its player base. One of the ways it aims to do this is through free DLC, and Postcards From The Frontier is the game’s latest batch. As seen in the trailer above, the DLC pack brings a new arena map called Uma which is designed especially for the game’s Pilot-only Live Fire mode. The Angel City, Exoplanet, and Drydock maps have also been reworked to
