Four Korean Twitch streamers, HAchubby, Yunicorn19, Jinnytty, and Yuggie_TV, have joined forces to create and release a new music video. They have called their group Tier 4, and the new song is entitled “Bang Bang.” It debuted yesterday, and has since been met with mixed reactions. For those unaware, HAchubby, Yunicorn19, Jinnytty, and Yuggie_TV all primarily focus on gaming on their Twitch channels, but HAchubby actually got her start on YouTube by making music....

Every single one of Demon’s Souls’ levels is headed off by a difficult boss. These bosses vary in shape and size, but almost all are tough to take down and managed to give the Souls franchise as a whole its reputation for difficulty. By contrast, Final Fantasy 14 has some pretty unstoppable bosses as well, but the way the game presents them is completely different. In terms of style, gameplay, story, and more, these two titles don’t share a lot in common, but there’s an interesting link between the Storm King boss of Demon’s Souls and the Primals that the Warrior of Light hunts down in Final Fantasy 14....

It’s no secret that fans of Square Enix’s epic RPG series are ready to get their hands on a copy of Final Fantasy 15. Essentially, the franchise has become practically synonymous with role-playing games, so the high level of anticipation surrounding Final Fantasy 15 is definitely understandable – especially since the title has been in heavy development for almost 9 years after its announcement at E3 2006 as Final Fantasy Versus 13....

Final Fantasy 15 director Hajime Tabata claims that in order for Square Enix to recoup its investment in the game, it needs to sell 10 million copies worldwide. No one needs to tell Final Fantasy fans that Final Fantasy XV has been an expensive venture for Square Enix. It was originally announced a decade ago as Final Fantasy Versus XIII, before it was eventually retooled into Final Fantasy XV. This long development cycle coupled with the game’s ambitious graphics and features means that Final Fantasy XV will have to sell 10 million copies just to break even....

Director Tetsuya Nomura states that the upcoming episodic remake of Final Fantasy 7 will not feature every single mini-game that was included in the original. Earlier this year, fans were delighted to hear that the dream project of a fully fledged remake of Final Fantasy 7 was set to enter production. Now, work is getting underway — and the team working on the game are having to make some difficult choices with regards to what content makes the cut....

Square Enix has recently revealed that the sequel to Final Fantasy 7 Remake is in active development, and while little is known about the next part of Cloud’s saga, much less has been said of the next installment in the main Final Fantasy franchise. The prior installment in the main franchise, Final Fantasy 15, dropped on consoles in 2016 after a decade of development—a far cry from the series’ annual release schedule in its PlayStation-to-PlayStation 2-era heyday....

The photo mode in Final Fantasy 7 Remake Intergrade is surprisingly limited compared to its contemporaries, but that hasn’t stopped me from sinking into it every 30 seconds to snap pictures of my favourite characters and position landscapes in such a way that the player camera is seldom capable of. This modern rendition of Midgar is positively beautiful, despite the dystopian political machinations that pin much its populace into submission. It’s about finding beauty amidst the oppression, seeking out small pockets of humanity that wish to carve out a purpose away from the lives they’re forced to abide by....

If Three Houses is your first game in the Fire Emblem series, prepare to appreciate the reset function of your Nintendo Switch. Or maybe not, depending on your difficulty setting. If you are trying to go hardcore, you’ll soon learn of one of Fire Emblem’s defining mechanics: permadeath. Once one of your beloved students dies in battle, they’re gone for good. So you should probably learn the easiest way to get a do-over....

Starting the new era of Fire Emblem, Awakening took the world by storm when sales reached high numbers compared to the Japanese exclusive New Mystery of the Emblem. The 13th entry features many game mechanics new and old, while bringing back classic classes as well as introducing entirely new ones to the series. As you level up your units, they can learn useful skills that will help them out in any battle....

2K community manager Dave Hinkle announces a new hot fix for XCOM 2 which aims to fix performance and framerate issues along with a game breaking glitch in the tutorial level. After launching two weeks ago to positive reviews, including Game Rant’s, many fans have run into various performance or glitch-related issues within XCOM 2 – affectively hindering their progress or just making the game somewhat of a chore to play....

Although Ubisoft has plenty of franchises in its library that fans are dying to see revived, it’s hard to argue that Splinter Cell sits close to the top of the list. A lot has changed for Ubisoft since the last time players saw Sam Fisher, with a new focus on games as services, but there is still hope that a new Splinter Cell might one day be announced. In fact, Ubisoft reportedly worked on some designs for Splinter Cell games, but those ideas never made it to full development....

Fortnite developer Epic Games has already had to warn about scams trying to dupe players of its hit multiplayer game. There have been fake Android beta invites being sent out via email, and there are plenty of sites promising free V-Bucks (the in-game currency) that claim to be affiliated with Epic Games despite there being no connection whatsoever. But it seems that despite these warnings, many players are still getting tricked....

It’s clear that the new Fortnite season is all about aliens and a new type of chest has appeared on the island. There are aliens characters all over the Battle Pass, there is a giant spaceship hovering above the island, and there are alien AIs that use UFOs to abduct you and drop you somewhere else on the island. Whoever purchases the Battle Pass will automatically receive the Kymera skin. The skin may look basic at first but there is much more to it than meets the eye....

The Fortnite Season 7 Week 5 challenges have been live for a couple of days now, and they include more than one multi-step challenge. One of the multi-step challenges in Season 7 Week 5 of Fortnite has players dancing on top of various landmarks dotted around the battle royale map, but some may have difficulty finding where exactly they need to dance. The third and final landmark Fortnite players need to dance on is the Air Traffic Control Tower, which is a relatively new addition to the game....

For Christmas day, the Fortnite battle island was, as predicted, completely covered in snow. Ironically enough, this follows suit with the plot of Disney’s Frozen, which stands out because of Christmas day’s addition to the Item Shop: a skin named Glimmer that looks a lot like Elsa from Frozen. For those who want this skin, Glimmer is legendary and comes with a rare pickaxe and glider. To pick up the entire set would cost Fortnite players around $35, with Glimmer herself costing the bulk at $20....

DC Comics has announced a new series of comics in which some of its most iconic characters will travel to Fortnite’s island. Fortnite and DC have an ongoing relationship that has seen a number of the comic book’s characters arrive on the island. However, the next chapter of the crossover will see Fortnite return the favor. DC Comics has announced a new series of comics called Batman/Fortnite: Zero Point. The six-part series will see some iconic DC characters visit the island and also reveal unexplored areas of Fortnite lore....

With Fortnite Season 5 going for some kind of “bounty hunter” aesthetic and Epic Games even teasing hunters from different realities, fans are hoping this means even more crossovers are afoot for the battle royale. The Mandalorian, star of the Disney+ show of the same name, has already been confirmed, and some are theorizing that perhaps gaming’s most prolific bounty hunter, Samus of the Metroid series, will join. At first, this seems very unlikely....

With Season 5 of Fornite coming to a close soon, players are anxious to see what Epic Games is cooking up next for the game. Given its history with crossover events, there’s no telling what franchises may find their way into Fortnite next season. There have been rumors circulating that a crossover with DC comics would be a part of Season 6, but this has recently been debunked. The rumors stemmed from a planned Batman and Fornite crossover that will coincide with the release of Batman/Fortnite: Zero Point, a six-issue mini-series, that kicks off in April....

In the last few months, Fortnite has exploded from a horde-mode focused early access title to a battle royale phenomenon. And along with Fortnite’s growth, many Fortnite players and streamers have found their own tremendous success. Most will know that former Halo pro Ninja has become a record-breaking streamer on Twitch and the platform’s most popular Fortnite broadcaster, but plenty of other faces have exploded thanks to the game as well....

Fortnite Chapter 2 Season 5 has been going since last December, offering fans of the battle royale a number of new cosmetics based on icons of pop culture including Din Djarin from The Mandalorian, Kratos from God of War, and recently Fortnite skins based on the Disney series Tron. It’s unlikely Season 6 will start anytime soon given Epic Games’ website says the current season lasts until March 15, but a new mid-season update announced by the developer promises a number of additions....
