Pretty much every person who played God of War agreed that it was among the very best PS4 exclusives to be made. The good news is that this experience will be continued on the PS5, with the tentatively-titled God of War: Ragnarok due for release. The game was already being hyped before its official announcement, but the actual event has caused fans to go crazy with glee. Naturally, this has meant quite a few memes to indulge in as the fanbase doesn’t take long before doling these out to voice out their enthusiasm....

The lead writer and director for God of War thinks that Gearbox CEO Randy Pitchford is treating his employees poorly for denying them promised bonus payments. We’ve discussed at length the almost cartoonish villainy that Gearbox’s CEO has been up to over the years, but we’ll give you a brief rundown on the most recent controversy. When Gearbox embarked on Borderlands 3, they hired a whole bunch of devs and gave them below-market salaries....

God of War rebooted the series with a brand new Kratos and son Atreus in tow, starting off strong with one of the best villains the series has seen so far. Baldur not only stood as Kratos’ biggest threat so far, but the opening and continuing conflict that extended throughout the game stands apart from other games of its caliber. However, now that Baldur is gone, the next God of War has a high bar set for it when it comes to introducing the next antagonist and making his presence as threatening as the previous one....

GOG.com has its annual spring sale going on, and with that sale comes a giveaway that’ll please any fans of The Witcher. They’ve bundled together “The Witcher Goodies Collection,” a mash-up of bonus content related to all three main series Witcher games, along with content related to Thornbreaker: The Witcher Tales, the narrative-driven Gwent-based RPG set in the Witcher universe. The content is made up of four different “goodie packs,” one for each game....

Google announced its brand new streaming platform at the GDC this week but gave no word on how much the service is going to cost. As expected, Google made a groundbreaking announcement at the Game Developers Conference this week. While most of us were eagerly awaiting information about a console the company was working on, Google threw us a curveball. It is stepping into the extremely competitive world of gaming – but you won’t need a console to play Google’s games....

Summons are an integral part to any player’s strategy in the Final Fantasy series. Throughout the games these beings have provided defensive, offensive, and healing support for the player’s party. A significant grind in any of the games is unlocking the more powerful summons. In fact, the developers have locked a few away behind complex algorithms, formulaic attacks, and even the final bosses themselves because they’re so strong. Here are some of the most powerful to ever appear in the franchise....

It’s not hard to consider Final Fantasy 14 one of the greatest comebacks in gaming. Met with scorn from the gaming community, the original Final Fantasy 14 was considered a stain on the franchise and a subpar MMORPG. Following a well-received reboot and subsequent expansions, Final Fantasy 14 is a big success and some of the credit can go to spreadsheets. In an interview with PC Gamer, Final Fantasy 14: A Realm Reborn director Naoki Yoshida spoke about the triumphant recovery of the second Final Fantasy MMO....

Square Enix, Jones Soda, and Target form a partnership to distribute an official brand of soda for the forthcoming role-playing game Final Fantasy 15. It’s safe to say that the graphics from the Luminous Engine that supports Final Fantasy 15 will be able to render foods in the Square Enix title so naturally that it will be difficult for players of the game to differentiate between the in-game delicacies and the real thing....

Final Fantasy 15 game director Hajime Tabata goes on record to say that Square Enix has no current plans for a sequel, though that could change in the future. The Final Fantasy franchise exists in a very curious state right now, with Final Fantasy 15 on the verge of launching on November 29. 2016 marks 10 years of the game’s development, which began under the title of Final Fantasy Versus 13....

As the next entry in the Final Fantasy franchise was unveiled, some interesting tidbits of information came out afterwards as well. Fans learned a lot about the directors and development team working on Final Fantasy 16. One notable member of the team was Ryota Suzuki, who’s former position at Capcom was developer of the battle systems in Devil May Cry 5 and Dragon’s Dogma. That influence is made known in Final Fantasy 16’s trailer, showing off a new action-based battle system that already looks very impressive....

It’s been nearly a year since Square Enix made fans’ dreams come true and finally (pun intended) dropped Final Fantasy 7 Remake into the world. FF7R took any trepidation about remaking such a beloved game and shredded it, appealing to both die-hard fans of the original and newbies. FF7R managed to strike a great balance between homage to the original, and breaking new ground with updated character development, potential future plot twists, and revamped gameplay....

The new Final Fantasy 7 Remake has an incredible line up of great summons and summon materia, and fans are looking to collect them all. One of the most adorable summon for players to nab is the Chocobo Chick summon, which brings a tiny chocobo baby onto the battlefield. Summons in FF7 Remake When players are in a long enough battle, they will fill their Summon bar and be able to bring out any summon materia that is attached to the Summon slot on their character....

Final Fantasy 7 Remake was incredibly well received by critics and fans alike, and has provided one of the most visually stunning experiences of the year. Many gamers, even seasoned ones, have had some difficulty mastering the combat mechanics of the game, though. This is due to a few unspoken rules that persist in the game’s combat which aren’t explained entirely to the player, but once they are understood, things will start going a lot better....

Square-Enix’s legendary PS2 JRPG, Final Fantasy X, released in 2001. As standard for the series, Final Fantasy X included a cast of noteworthy characters. Among the NPCs and party members alike, everyone had a story to tell. However, not every character had their tale told to the same magnitude. While players learned of their backstories, some were truly told in more depth while others were only mentioned briefly. Read our list below to learn of the five best-designed characters and the five who could have used a bit more time developing....

Unbeknownst to many Destiny players, the December Update added four new Dead Ghosts to find, which unlock Grimoire cards and corresponding Grimoire score. Sometimes Bungie slips new content into Destiny during an update that doesn’t make it to the correlating patch notes. It wasn’t long after the December Update earlier this month that a few players noticed some new Grimoire card entries on Bungie.net, which were not mentioned by Bungie. All four were labeled as Dead Ghost fragments, which are Grimoire cards unlocked by finding hidden Dead Ghosts somewhere in the game....

I love Kingdom Hearts. More than most things, in fact. It’s my favorite video game series, and has been with me through my childhood and into my young adult years, standing by me through thick and thin. And yet? I only finished the original game for the first time only a couple months ago. Trust me, I know how strange that sounds. A Bizarre Beginning About two weeks before my seventh birthday, my sister turned four years old....

Back when almost every team lined up in a 4-4-2 formation, it was widely believed and often proven that to win a title, teams needed to have two world-class strikers and two world-class center-backs. For example, Sir Alex Ferguson won his last league title with players like Cleverly and Anderson in midfield, as he had Rooney and Van Persie scoring bucket loads of goals, while Vidic and Ferdinand kept things tight at the back....

Epic Games and People Can Fly are consistently releasing new updates for Fortnite in an effort to balance the game ahead of its full launch later this year. Fortnite’s next update, expected to drop later this week, will continue the developer’s attempts to better balance the game, this time by removing a weapon entirely. As announced by Epic Games, the SMG will be temporarily removed from Fortnite and placed in the “Vault....

Season 5 of Fortnite Chapter 2 has changed up how the game handles its side challenges. Players are now being treated to challenges that are constantly refreshed, giving them new ways to grind out their battle pass while they wait for the usual slate of weekly challenges, which have been rebranded as Epic and Legendary Challenges. For Week 2 of Season 5, the next batch of Epic Challenges has players tackling more specific objectives....

Recently, a Fortnite datamine revealed that Epic could be making some big changes to the game by introducing new customization options, including the ability to change the design of the Battle Bus. However, that doesn’t appear to be all coming from the popular battle royale game, as a datamine of patch v5.2 has displayed a number of new items, including game modes, weapons, skins, consumables, and much, much more. Of course, moving forward, it’s worth mentioning that even if the code for these items is in the game, it doesn’t necessarily mean they will be added to the game right away, or perhaps even at all....
