As many who attended and tuned into Sony’s PlayStation E3 2018 press conference will surely attest, Sucker Punch definitely delivered an incredibly stunning gameplay trailer for Ghost of Tsushima during the annual expo, giving many fans even more hope for the PS4’s slew of future exclusives. With the samurai adventure having influences from the Kamakura period of Japan’s history, it certainly has promise to deliver a unique gameplay experience, which is something the Sucker Punch developer Nate Fox is glad he and his team were able to do before Assassin’s Creed could....

Dataminers have discovered a Ghost Rider skin will be coming to Fortnite before the end of the current Marvel-themed season. There is a lot going on in Fortnite right now, and we mean a lot. The fourth season of Fortnite’s second chapter has been Marvel-themed. Not only has that comprised of multiple skins including that of Thor and She-Hulk, but there’s an ongoing storyline in which Galactus is on his way to consume the island....

Though the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic may make trick-or-treating almost impossible, it has not stopped people from dressing up for Halloween, probably to try to get some sense of normalcy in what has been a tumultuous year. Out of the people who are going all out with their costumes this year despite circumstances are celebrities, who often have the time and resources to be able to get something impressive going. Model Gigi Hadid has posted images of her in a notable Halloween costume: Samus Aran from the Metroid series....

Back in February, Google was rumored to be seeking interest in the gaming market, with a brand new streaming service that would eventually be called Project Yeti, The project was apparently designed to allow for quality game streaming at 1080p and 60 frames per second with minimal technical hiccups in Chrome. Just eight months later, the giant tech company has now revealed its service to the world by showing off one of the biggest games to launch this year....

The ever-beloved Final Fantasy franchise has never really been one for sequels in the traditional sense. Each of the mainline games, for the most part, are completely distinct from each other, in terms of settings, main characters and almost everything else besides. This isn’t to say, though, that there aren’t defining characters and characteristics that tie all the games together. Recurring friends and foes, from Moogles and Chocobos to Adamantoises and Red Dragons, are commonplace....

Following his recent admission that Final Fantasy 15 is unlikely to make it to the Nintendo Switch, the game’s director, Hajime Tabata, has once again reiterated his stance on the issue. In a new interview with Polygon, Tabata states that he and rest of the development team are finding the Switch “fascinating” because of its console/handheld design, especially since he’s worked on a number of handheld and console titles over the years....

There are many Final Fantasy games that come into mind when one brings up the topic of the best game in the series. Most people would mention Final Fantasy VII and IX while purists would incline more towards Final Fantasy VI and X… but there’s actually one title that has wallowed in relative obscurity due to its age, which is Final Fantasy IV. After Final Fantasy II, players were expecting to get another story-heavy Final Fantasy title… which is probably why the third title was somewhat of a disappointment....

When one talks about some of the greatest video games ever made, there are a lot of people who would stand by Final Fantasy IX as one such title that is arguably the greatest PS1 entry in the series — yes, even better than the legendary Final Fantasy VII — and serves as a refreshing throwback to a simpler time in the series when everything didn’t have to be based in a futuristic fantasy setting....

One of FFVII: Remake’s weirder side quests is a squat challenge (yeah, you read that right). Here’s how to get it done fast and reap the rewards. Final Fantasy VII Remake is full of weird and wonderful side quests, including chasing lost cats around Sector 7 and gathering flowers to spruce up a children’s home. However, perhaps the weirdest side quest of all is Jules’ Squat Contest. It pops up as an accessible quest after winning the Corneo Cup in Chapter 9, and Jules can be found in the gym right next door to the Colesseum....

There’s a Fortnite glitch that allows players to instantly revive teammates, but getting the timing right is key and tricky to nail. Reviving people would have felt like a wild concept to introduce to the battle royale genre at first. The whole point of BR is that a player only has one chance to win. That might have been the case a couple of years ago, but no longer. There are various modes across multiple BR games where reviving is a key component of every match....

While most gamers have a certain idea in their mind when they think of loot, Fortnite has a much broader definition. Gear, which most consider to be loot, is largely relegated to Loot Llamas and quest rewards, and is rarely seen in-game. Rare crafting materials, lootable items worth opening, and treasure chests, however, are scattered around each map, and can be very useful when found. To help players better acquire their loot, Redditor t9x69 has put together a handy visual guide with some important info that players, both new and old, can learn from....

With how loose and hectic first-person shooters can get, it can be hard to imagine the genre mixing well with that of rhythm games, where most of the gameplay tends to be structured more linearly to make it easier for players to know when to time their actions. But developer Dan Da Rocha has an idea for how to put the two together, and the result so far is surprisingly impressive....

Fans were delighted when Marvelous Entertainment announced a remake of Harvest Moon: Friends Of Mineral Town for the Nintendo Switch. The classic farming sim, which was released for the Game Boy Advance in 2003, is popularly regarded as one of the best in the series. Although the game has been revived under a new title, Story Of Seasons, it features the same, much-loved cast of characters revamped for 2020. As longtime Harvest Moonfans know, the character designs for the original Friends Of Mineral Townwere ported from its predecessor for the Playstation, Harvest Moon: Back To Nature, which in turn ported the designs from Harvest Moon 64....

In gaming’s most popular multiplayer shooters there is a pre-conceived notion that one’s kill-to-death ratio is everything. So much focus is placed on getting more kills and less deaths that some gamers even forgo objective-based matches altogether or at least ignore the objectives during a team-based game mode. But what if there was a service provided for gamers that kept them from worrying about their ratio, and actually allowed their attention to be paid towards objectives and their teammates?...

Now, a major US retailer seems to have confirmed that this is the case....

It’s tax season. For some people in the US, that means having to pay a big bill to the government. For others, it means getting a refund because they overpaid on their taxes throughout the year. A lot of people fall into the latter category, and so it’s safe to say many people will have some extra cash in their pocket these next few weeks. To give people something to spend their tax refunds on, various companies host Tax Day sale events, with video game retailer GameStop joining in on the action this year....

Dandelion Seeds are an item that may allude some newer players as they are harvested in a unique way in Genshin Impact. The Dandelion Seeds can be found around Mondstadt and are extremely noticeable in the wild. Dandelion seeds are needed to ascend Jean and Eula, as well as used to make the anemoculus resonance stone. Dandelions aren’t a hard plant to find, but each plant will only give you a single portion of Dandelion Seeds, so players should make a habit of gathering the seeds when they can....
