When the first God Of War came out in 2005, Kratos was a pretty despicable person. Dubbed the Ghost of Sparta for his bloodlust, the guy just bounced around Greece wreaking havoc with his fists. Killing was literally his thing. He was the embodiment of “unleashing nasty fantasies,” and his personality pretty much reflected this. So it was surprising to see a more refined version of Kratos in Sony Santa Monica’s 2018 remake....

Sony’s new God of War seems to be a stark contrast to the older games’ hack-and-slash style of gameplay, instead opting to focus on strategy when battling enemies thanks to the introduction of Kratos’ son, Atreus.

The information comes courtesy of a new trailer from Sony, featuring Santa Monica Studio developers going over some of the character’s inspiration....

Google Stadia is a game streaming service to challenge all that we know about cloud-based gaming....
GPS technology has become so commonplace that it’s easy to take the technology for granted. So many easy-to-overlook innovations are ignored when using this modern technology, including one particular aspect that found its roots in the foundational video game Asteroids. One of the original technologies in this field was the Etak Navigator, first used in 1985. While this wasn’t a traditional GPS, it could still track a car’s movements relative to a map....

Although Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 did not have a campaign mode when it came out, it appears that Treyarch had plans for one well before the game was even announced. The news comes from a Reddit user named ForeverDexus who posted a video of what appears to be gameplay footage of the early stages of the game’s campaign mode before the mode was canceled. Although the development studio decided to primarily focus on Call of Duty: Black Ops 4’s online game modes (which is why they removed campaign mode), many early reports suggested that the campaign was too ambitious and was ultimately canceled due to issues with development....
The past week is proving to be a good one for fans of abandoned Nintendo games. Just a few days after Rare’s original version of Star Fox Adventures, the unreleased N64 game Dinosaur Planet, was leaked online, footage has emerged showing off what would have been a portable entry in the long-dormant Black and White series. For the uninitiated, Black and White was a strategy-simulation series created by Fable creator Peter Molyneux and Lionhead Studios where players got to play as a god tasked with ruling over the people of the game’s world....

The console wars will begin yet again this holiday season, with both the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X expected to launch by the end of the year. It’s an exciting time for consumers, but for people at Sony and Microsoft it’s a time full of sweat, tears, and exhaustion. Just ask Sony’s former Vice President of Publisher and Developer Relations, Adam Boyes. Boyes was working at Sony back in 2013 as the company was preparing to launch the PlayStation 4....
Yesterday, the Fortnite Season 6 Week 8 challenges went live, and although many are straightforward, some are a bit more difficult to complete. It’s worth noting that those who do manage to complete them, however, will be able to find a hidden banner somewhere in the game. Combine that with the few weeks remaining in the season, some players are likely feeling the pressure. Nevertheless, they shouldn’t feel hard-pressed to complete these challenges, as we’ve compiled this Fortnite guide to help those trying to complete the free and battle pass challenges....

On May 2, 2002, Columbia/Sony Pictures released Spider-Man, the culmination of a long, torturous road to the big screen for Marvel’s best-known and most popular superhero.
