When dealing with a game as iconic as Final Fantasy 7, it’s always going to be impossible to make every fan happy with a remake. The team behind Final Fantasy 7 Remake has already confirmed that this will be more than a graphical upgrade and that some changes to gameplay are coming, so many fans are curious what that means for the classic JRPG turn-based combat system. New details suggest there might be a combat feature to switch between players in a more action-based encounter....

This year, Nintendo and Intelligent Systems celebrated 30 years of Fire Emblem’s history. Originally debuting on the Nintendo Famicom, in 1990, the Strategy/RPG series has seen hundreds of noteworthy characters appear in a span of three decades. Among this vast roster, there are a select group of female characters considered to be the strongest and most able women of Fire Emblem. Those who fought valiantly to the bitter end, those who defended what they loved most, and even those who made dire sacrifices will be honored here....

A wild Charizard has appeared in the form of an incredible resin figure that captures the power of this fan-favorite Pokemon. It will, unfortunately, cost fans much more than a Pokeball to capture this figure if it has not already sold out. Pokemon began celebrating its 25th anniversary just a few weeks ago and has promised that surprises and new merchandise will be released over the course of the year. It makes perfect sense that The Pokemon Company would choose one of Pokémon Red and Blue’s starters due to their continued popularity....

A first look at Fortnite’s upcoming Xenomorph skin has leaked online, as well as a Ripley skin that will arrive at the same time. While season four was the season of Marvel in Fortnite, season five has been the season of every other franchise ever. That’s how it feels anyway. Next up is Alien, as Xenomorph and Ripley skins will be added to the game, presumably at some point this week....

A Five Nights at Freddy’s movie was announced all the way back in 2015 when Warner Bros.-owned New Line Cinema acquired the rights to the hugely popular indie game series. The games follow an unnamed security guard who must survive the night at a pizzeria where the animatronic robots come to life. A survival horror game with plenty of jump scares, many were excited to see how the big-screen adaptation would turn out....

Nintendo Switch gamers aching for Five Nights At Freddy’s content can finally play the twisted spin-off, Freddy Fazbear Pizzeria Simulator. No longer just the night guard, now you are in charge of the whole thing including making it a success. This is your task, despite the things that possibly go bump in the night. You even handle legal cases brought against the pizzeria! This title has been available on PC through Steam since 2017 but is finally now getting a Switch release....

For years, fight fans have long-awaited a new boxing video game. According to TMZ Sports, Floyd Mayweather may be just the one to fulfill their dreams, following in the footsteps of Mike Tyson’s Punch Out!!. At the professional boxing star’s recent forty-first birthday celebration, Mayweather stated that he is already “working on” a title. No further details were discussed in the brief video clip, other than the fact that Mayweather would have to have ownership in the video game’s release, stating that he would not be a part of EA’s fan-favorite boxing title, Fight Night, if a new installment within the series were ever to be released....

During Sony’s “State of Play” stream last night, a rather fetching looking indie brawler titled Aeon Must Die was shown off. Exhibiting an art style very reminiscent of Tron, it was one of the highlights in an otherwise boring stream. Sadly, it seems that the trailer revealed during Sony’s event was made under rather deplorable conditions. Earlier this morning, publisher Focus Home Interactive took to Twitter to address the concerns raised by these individuals....

Some good news out of the video game development sector today. The studio that brought PUBG Mobile, which is currently in Season 3, as well as a Rockstar Game veteran game dev are teaming up to make AAA, next-gen console games. With the Xbox Series X and the PlayStation 5’s release dates not affected by the Coronavirus, players and devs alike are starting to look forward to those next gen graphics....

The addition of Tedman will allow Saber Interactive to continue growing its studios and hone in on a digital-first focus....

From outfits like the recently reintroduced Power Chord skin to the Renegade Roller pickaxe, there are a variety of ways players can express themselves through their avatar in the game. Now, Epic has decided to partner up with Sony yet again to provide more free cosmetic items to those who subscribe to PlayStation Plus....

This week in Fortnite is all about Travis Scott. Here’s where players can find the two dance floors they’ll need to visit to complete one of his challenges. The first season of Fortnite’s second chapter ran a little long, to put it mildly. News that Season 2 will also overrun, by more than a month, might have players a little worried. Not only because the first season went on for so long, but Epic didn’t really do much to fill that extra time....

Fortnite has introduced its third season and shook up the map by flooding a great deal of it. The flooding of the Fortnite map coincides with an Aquaman crossover event and many players are expecting the water to eventually disappear. While there is no doubt that the map will not stay flooded forever, there are rumors about how the map will transition and what players will be able to do with the water in the future....

Nintendo made the announcement Tuesday morning during its E3 2018 Nintendo Direct and Epic Games launched Fortnite just a matter of hours later. And in-between announcement and launch, Epic was also able to confirm a lot of very important information regarding multiplayer on a platform that’s only just beginning to implement features other consoles have been doing for years. Things like voice chat on Nintendo Switch are still somewhat mysterious, but luckily Fortnite makes it very simple....

Now, Sony has officially unveiled the free PS Plus games lineup for PS4 players to acquire for the month of April 2019, with the company offering both The Surge and Conan Exiles at no additional charge for subscribers....

It’s Friday night, and my friends have promised they have a game I’ll like for our usual get-together. I don’t hear most of the explanation, but my ears perk at someone casually mentioning, “it’s got building mechanics in it.” Building, you say? I can craft an endless neighborhood of houses, organize resources, and unlock new design goodies? “I’m in,” they knew that would hook me. Apparently, I’m paying full price for some game called Green Hell so I can build another messy shelter in the forest....

Over recent years, nostalgic games and game consoles have become increasingly popular. New generation consoles offer upgraded technology that would have been almost unimaginable years ago when the Game Boy Advance was released in 2001. In 2003, the Game Boy Advance SP arrived. The SP console was the next step up from Nintendo’s Game Boy, offering higher quality graphic specifications while being small enough to fit into gamers’ pockets. Many successful games were created for both handheld consoles....

Popular Twitch streamer GoldGlove livestreams Gears of War 4, and after encountering severe lag in multiplayer, decides to rage quit and possibly break his controller. The general consensus seems to be that The Coalition did an admirable job with its first original release, Gears of War 4. The game earned strong reviews across the board, with each of its game modes earning praise for various reasons. However, Gears of War 4 is not a perfect game by any means, with some server issues apparent in its early days, causing long wait times and some severe lag....
