Sea of Thieves is one of, if not the most anticipated console exclusive coming to Xbox One, and with its long and drawn out Alpha Testing phase; Rare isn’t taking any chances on a poor launch. As they’ve been doing over the last several months, Rare has put out yet another Edition of Inn-Side Story, which gives a behind the scenes look at development on Sea of Thieves. This latest one focuses on the game’s watch-ability factor, something which was pushed during E3 2017 when the game was streamed

I was fortunate enough to be able to play around with the New 2DS XL for a little over a week now. Like many previous iterations that either added new functionality or trimmed the fat, the New 2DS XL is yet another redesign that mostly focuses on the latter. The big XL screen, the second analog nub for camera control, built-in amiibo scanning functionality and the upgraded faster processor and RAM are all standard features of the New 2DS XL. What was truly striking about the New 2DS XL was the b

A stunt man’s resume is pointing towards Grand Theft Auto 6 being in development at Rockstar Games! An eagle-eyed NeoGaf user noticed that Tim Neff, a stunt actor, had updated their resume to include motion capture work for Grand Theft Auto 6 alongside Red Dead Redemption 2. Prior to Neff’s resume mentioning GTA 6, a rumor in March of 2016 detailed that the groundwork for GTA 6 was being laid, though the developers had not decided on a location. Later on in 2016, another GTA 6 rumor surfaced, su

I’d like to believe those may have been the words Jeff Bezos uttered to himself this morning while sipping coffee in Seattle. I am of course referring to the news that the Amazon CEO has surpassed Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates as the world’s richest man. Bezos started Amazon in 1994, just 23 years ago and has not only become the richest man alive, he also owns a private space exploration company (Blue Origin), the Washington Post, but has also produced Academy Award winning films and Emmy winn

Back in May, we heard that director James Cameron will be taking a break from the Avatar franchise to work on the next Terminator film with Arnold Schwarzenegger. Apparently, Cameron isn’t looking to limit himself to one Terminator movie, he’s looking to do three. On top of “reinventing” the franchise with a trilogy, Cameron noted that he only supported the films like Terminator Genisys because his friend was in it. “I think it’s fairly widely known that I don’t have a lot of respect for the fil

Several years ago, a game by the name of Mighty No. After many delays and controversies, the game was released and let’s just say the reaction was… not good. The game came out in June of 2016 and only now are people finally getting their items… Backers have started receiving physical boxes for Mighty Number 9 that are similar to the style of a retro NES game box.

Overwatch, like pretty much every other multiplayer game there is, is subject to adverse effects of stupid people. Unfortunately, since there are many such individuals in the world, Blizzard has revealed that they will be enforcing stricter penalties on violators going forward. Their objective, according to a new forum post, is to invest “significantly” in their in-game reporting and player penalty system over the next year. Here’s the most important snippet of the post:To this end, effective im

In the age of remakes and remasters, the sense of ownership over an intellectual property can be felt on both fan and developer in equal measure. The latest episode in Blizzard’s StarCraft Remastered YouTube series displays as much, revealing that the game’s small development team carries the same amount of love for the original game as the millions of fans who still play it today. Here’s the video:StarCraft: Remastered isn’t far off as it launches on PC next month on August 14th. The game will

Persona 5 currently stands as one of the year’s highest rated games, sitting only behind The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild in its average Metascore. The series has gradually grown over subsequent releases in the west, particularly after Persona 4 Golden hit the PS Vita back in 2012. Suffice it to say; the hype was very real for Persona 5, and the sales numbers as revealed by the Sega Raw livestream back that up. According to Sega Producer and Director, Toshihiro Nagoshi, who appeared on th
