Gamescom 2011 was full of little (and big) surprises: price cuts on the PlayStation 3, Battlefield 3 multiplayer shenanigans, some unfortunate news on the Wii, and loads of other information. Though what’s better about Gamescom is after, when all of the good bits of information start coming out of the air ducks. Specifically, insider information on one of the more talked about titles: Aliens: Colonial Marines. Gearbox Software’s Chief Creative Officer Brian Martel spoke a little more about Aliens: Colonial Marines, expanding much on what he’s said earlier this week, about working with IP-owner Fox, the differences in developing for a game rather than film, and what the future holds while trying to take on deadly Xenomorphs....

In hindsight, it’s quite an effective strategy for keeping the game relevant. At the moment, there’s no shortage of fan theories and speculations regarding the game’s narrative direction, particularly the morality involved in being the game’s main character. The latest developments in the story have left many players scratching their heads as to who’s on the good side or the bad side....

MiHoYo’s Zelda-inspired hit, Genshin Impact, has presented players with an expansive amount of lore to dive into throughout its varied items, characters, and even achievements. Players can take on Story Quests, Archon Quests, World Quests, Commissions, and other forms of adventure, all of which offer up new bits of unique dialogue that shed light on the corners of Teyvat. Travelers will encounter myriad creatures alongside the treasures they discover, and if they pay close attention, they’ll find thoughtful histories to each of those creatures, in some way shape or form....

According to God of War’s director, the game’s script was changed a year into its production. God of War is easily one of the best exclusive titles around nowadays and, as a result, it snagged the award for Game of the Year for 2018 on multiple fronts. However, according to director Cory Barlog, the game’s story could have been a completely different one from what gamers enjoyed, as the script was changed a whole year into production....

If you didn’t treat yourself for Christmas don’t worry, there’s still time. Buy yourself this awesome Geralt statue, you deserve it. Every living room deserves an appropriate centerpiece. Yes, for the majority of those rooms, the centerpiece is the television. Whether it’s used for watching movies or playing games, if it’s switched on then the point of it is to hold the attention of everyone in the room. But why follow the crowd?...

When one thinks of Final Fantasy summons, it’s a safe bet that Ifrit comes to mind fairly quickly. Other summons like Bahamut, Carbuncle, Shiva, or Titan are all very popular as well, but Ifrit has a certain iconic nature to him that the others simply don’t. This is likely because he has appeared in every single main entry Final Fantasy game since summons were first introduced in Final Fantasy 3 (with the exception of Final Fantasy 12 where instead there is an airship named after him), and he often plays an important role within each game as well....

Taken on face value Barret just looks like he is simply the party’s tank. He’s big and looks mean enough to beat Mr. T with one arm tied behind his back. However, when it comes down to his stats, abilities, and special moves he is so much more. In addition to being a tank-like character, Barret also functions as the party’s long-range fighter with similar mechanics to the archer class in previous Final Fantasy games....

The biggest draw in Final Fantasy VII Remake is seeing beloved characters’ intense graphical overhaul. The voice acting also breathes new life into these established personalities. For proof of how much the fandom adores the party roster, look no further than the abundance of memes dedicated to them. The following list will focus on the funniest memes about Aerith, a key character and love interest for Cloud. Aerith starts off an innocent flower girl, but her role in the overall plot quickly becomes bigger as players go through the game....

Final Fantasy 7 Remake has arrived on PS5 in the form of Intergrade - an enhanced upgrade of the JRPG with visual and performance improvements that you won’t find on last generation platforms. It’s now the definitive way to enjoy the first chapter of an increasingly convoluted reimagining and I absolutely love it, even if the conclusion of its excellent Yuffie expansion had me scratching my head and desperately wanting more....

Square Enix just revealed three new Final Fantasy 7 Remake themes that players can earn for their PS4 in various ways, similar to Tifa’s recent theme. Players may recognize this first one featuring Cloud and Avalanche. The official Final Fantasy 7 Remake Twitter account promoted it earlier this month. It features Cloud, Aerith, Tifa, Barret, and even Red XIII standing on the edge of a broken bridge and experiencing the sunrise together....

A new game titled Dauntless is revealed at The Game Awards, coming from indie developer Phoenix Labs, made up of former developers from BioWare, Riot, Capcom, and Blizzard. The Game Awards featured trailers for big games like Mass Effect: Andromeda, Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, and Death Stranding. Blockbusters aside, it also included some reveals from independent developers. One of those was for a never-before-announced game called Dauntless. The title in question comes from Phoenix Labs, a relatively unknown developer, but one that is made up of veteran devs from some big studios....

Disguised Toast, the Canadian streamer who, at one point, was most-well known for his Hearthstone content, has made the decision to return a card to Blizzard the they had sent him to reveal for the upcoming expansion Saviors of Uldum. The decision seems to have been made after a few posts on Reddit called into question why Toast was being given the reveal but not other streamers who are far more dedicated to Hearthstone....

This Fortbyte sees players returning to a place that has been in Fortnite for a long time and has itself been featured in various challenges....

As Fortnite Battle Royale Season 8 kicks off, players are just beginning to acclimate themselves to the bevy of changes being introduced. Among the changes for Fortnite season 8 are new challenges, new skins, and a ping system similar to the one featured in Apex Legends. Though, perhaps less expected is the addition of an island inspired by the rock band Weezer, complete with theme park rides and tracks from the band’s upcoming album....

Last month, fans of the megahit sitcom Friends got some very exciting news in the confirmation of a forthcoming reunion special that will see Jennifer Aniston, Courteney Cox, Lisa Kudrow, Matt LeBlanc, Matthew Perry, and David Schwimmer all reunited. This Friends reunion was set to release alongside the launch of HBO Max in May 2020, but it is now unlikely that this schedule will hold, as production on the special has been delayed as a result of the coronavirus....

At the Game Awards, From Software revealed a teaser for its next development project. The Japanese developer, best known for the Armored Core series, Souls series, and Bloodborne, has previously developed games for the Dreamcast all the way to the Nintendo Switch. This game may be the rumored dark fantasy 3D RPG From Software was previously reported to be hiring for, yet it is worth noting that it was only a rumor....

In Red Dead Redemption 2, Arthur keeps his guns dry by holding them above his head whenever he crosses through water. Any gun enthusiast knows that you don’t really want to get a gun wet, and you certainly don’t want to completely submerge a firearm in water. While condensation can cause all the metal components of a gun to rust, submerging it in water will do that in addition to possibly ruining your ammunition....
