A solid lock-on feature can elevate a good game to a superb one. Without Z (or L) targeting, 3D Zelda games would feel imprecise and unwieldy. Without the ability to hone in on a special target, Dynasty Warriors would feel like an unfocused button masher. Point being, unless it’s an important part of the game’s design, it’s usual best to give players the option to zoom in on a particular target if they’re being tasked with shooting or slashing things....
Sucker Punch Productions knocked it out of the park with Ghost of Tsushima, with the Japanese-inspired title quickly becoming one of the fastest selling PS4 exclusives in the console’s history. However, not settling with resting on those laurels, the generally action RPG-oriented developer has also announced a multiplayer expansion coming to the game this fall. Promising to be an expansive multiplayer experience, the Legends update planned for Ghost of Tsushima is likely to be a hit (based on the popularity of the SP) as long as it can take inspiration from similar titles and make a rewarding, multilayered combat puzzle for players to solve together....
There’s no better way to immerse one’s self in a game centered around samurai than by playing with a controller based on their weapon of choice. A Ghost of Tsushima fan going by the tag “SuperLouis64” did just that and created a video of himself battling through Ghost of Tsushima’s world with a katana-shaped controller. The controller Louis uses in the video is called an Onimusha 3 Katana. It was designed by HORI and came included alongside the collector’s edition of Onimusha 3: Demon Siege, a video game bundle released for the PS2 all the way back in 2004....
Ghost of Tsushima fans will be happy to hear that the upcoming multiplayer DLC is almost here. Sucker Punch senior game designer Darren Bridges recently updated the PlayStation Blog with new deets on what to expect from Ghost of Tsushima: Legends along with all the new features that will arrive with the base game’s 1.1 update. First announced on August 17, Ghost of Tsushima: Legends brings co-op multiplayer to the haunting beauty of Tsushima....

The rather awesome Ghostrunner has a new limited-time demo available on Steam for gamers to try. Basically the PAX East demo I played earlier this year, it’s a short sample of what one can expect from this futuristic cyberpunk first-person game: a lot of dying, restarting, and killing. The demo will be available until May 13 (and is said to be streamable on Geforce Now). A new trailer accompanying the demo sets up the general vibe you can expect....
Tango Gameworks has officially delayed Ghostwire: Tokyo to early 2022. The team says the extra time will allow them to protect the health of the development team, while ensuring the game is up to its high standards. Ghostwire: Tokyo was previously slated for a 2021 launch, although a firm date was never set. The pandemic has delayed numerous games over the past year, and it shouldn’t come as much of a surprise that Tango Gameworks has decided to push its release....
Run The Jewels is back at it with another collaboration. The hip-hop duo of El-P and Killer Mike have been masterful at finding creative ways to cross promote their music in the pop culture space, from having Rick and Morty star in their video for “Oh Mama” to spitting bars for the soundtrack to one of the year’s most anticipated video games, Cyberpunk 2077. To celebrate the RTJ x Cyberpunk 2077 mashup, the duo released a new merch line and they’ve tasked us with giving away a bundle of swag....
After the God of War games blew our minds throughout the 2000s, it is hard to think of Greek mythology without at least briefly thinking of Kratos. As we followed this demigod though his adventures of destruction, we grew to love him as a character. His tragic past, rise to Godhood, and defeat of most of the Greek pantheon drew us in and constantly had us wishing for more. When God of War III left us with a bit of a cliffhanger, we wondered if he would ever grace our television screens again, beyond some guest appearances in fighting games....
God of War: Ragnarok was announced back in September 2020 with a tenuous release date of next year, but with the pandemic, this is looking less and less likely. However, Sony has not announced a new release date, but perhaps that’s for the best. Constant pushbacks of release dates only put a strain on studios and developers - just look at what happened with Cyberpunk 2077 - as it constantly sets up expectations that are then, when broken, disappointing to fans....
God of War: Ragnarok not only features multiple pieces of collectible armor but actually allows you to “transmog” that armor to change how its looks. A popular term in MMORPGs, “transmogging” is essentially the practice of making one item look like another without changing any of the original item’s stats or abilities. In order to unlock God of War: Ragnarok’s transmog system, you’ll first need to upgrade a specific piece of armor to its maximum level....
The PlayStation team finally revealed the first full trailer for God of War: Ragnarok and…well, this really is one of those times when you’ve just got to see the thing for yourself rather than take our word on the matter. That’s a simply incredible trailer that warrants multiple rewatches by virtue of its visual splendor alone, but before we dive into what absolutely everything in that trailer could mean for the upcoming game, we have to talk about something that was said outside of the trailer during a post-show interview with the Ragnarok team....
What better way for PlayStation to celebrate Father’s Day than with a trailer focusing on the PS4’s newest father and son pairing? Sony released the latest trailer for God of War Sunday morning, a spoiler-rich collection of some of the more visceral moments shared between Kratos and Atreus from the game’s story. For those who have already completed God of War, the trailer offers a compelling reflection on the pair’s complex relationship....

This Gotham review contains spoilers. Gotham Season 4 Episode 12 Damn, the Gotham midseason return is good. Not only is it gorgeous to look at, but this city has never felt more lived in or interconnected. When the Toymaker unleashes a bomb on a Narrows meeting run by Lee and Ed, Jim, Alfred, and Ivy are close enough to hear and see the blast. When Alfred gets in a barfight with some murderous goons, Harvey happens to work there....
Despite the overwhelmingly positive content I’ve written about Fire Emblem: Three Houses, it is not a perfect game. There are still plenty of problems I could point to, from nitpicky issues like too much map cycling to problems that really irked me, such as how they refused to allow for the possibility of male same-sex relationships in the game (which was a serious tragedy for Sylvain and Felix). But while I had classified the time skip as another one of my nitpicky issues about the game, I did not realize how many people held the view that it was totally unnecessary....
Microsoft has announced that a few new games are coming to Xbox Game Pass in June as well as the usual DLCs and perks that are added as a little bonus on top. However, there’s nothing on the Xbox & Bethesda Games Showcase - you’ll have to wait until June 13 for that. Coming today for cloud is The Wild at Heart, a puzzle adventure game about two kids lost in a magical realm called the Deep Woods....
Ex-Riot employee Criss Fowler came forward yesterday and accused a former EU League of Legends shoutcaster of sexual assault. After an outpour of support, today she identified him as Joe Miller. In the last two weeks, the gaming community has seen waves of sexual allegations towards professionals in the industry. These accounts of misconduct, made mostly by women, are geared towards many individuals working within the gaming industry, ranging anywhere from Twitch streamers to game developers....
The new Season of Fortnite has some strange stuff in it. There are Fortnite characters to talk to for various reasons scattered around the map, not to mention a new map and new objectives. And, of course, there’s the Mandalorian. Making a cameo as a character and as a skin, the Mandalorian is in many ways the centerpiece of this part of Fortnite’s life. While unlocking the regular Mandalorian skin is easy, the Beskar Mandalorian skin is a longer journey....
