Fortnite Is Bringing Back Og Default Skins

When Fortnite first started, players who had one of the default Fortnite skins equipped were mocked by some members of the community for not having one of the Battle Pass or paid skins. In fact, this led to bullying at schools, where the word “default” was used as a new schoolyard insult. However, it seems Fortnite fans are now nostalgic for the original default skins, and now it seems newer fans who missed their chance to get these skins will have a new chance to do so....

Fortnite Offering Compensation For Recent Server Downtime

Last week, Fortnite fans found themselves frustrated when the game was hit with significant technical issues that rendered the game unplayable for several hours. During the downtime shortly after the release of the Chug Jug update, Epic Games also began efforts to fix an existing database issue. Unfortunately, things didn’t go well and Epic was forced to restore from a backup. The first attempt at this backup was unsuccessful, resulting in an extended maintenance period and lengthy queues to log-in once the servers were back online....

Fortnite S Inclusion Of Kratos Is A Good Thing For God Of War Ragnarok Sequel

When Fortnite’s Marvel event came to a close, no one really knew what to expect. There’s no doubt that new skins like the Mandalorian and Baby Yoda were impressive enough, but the game managed to double down and bring on PlayStation icon Kratos (from God of War) as well. Rumors indicate that Microsoft’s Master Chief will also be joining the battle, really just proving how much of a juggernaut Fortnite actually is....

Fortnite Theory Points To The Rock Being The Foundation

While a majority of fans may know him from his days in WWE or his many acting roles, Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson has been intertwined with gaming for decades. Revealing the very first Xbox alongside Microsoft founder Bill Gates 20 years ago, the wrestler-turned-actor has always kept a finger on the pulse of the gaming industry. If some recent Fortnite theories are true, however, his involvement in video games is about to be on a whole new level....

Fromsoft Developer History

It’s hard to imagine what FromSoft was like before the Dark Souls games came out; it seems nowadays when someone mentions the developer, everyone immediately starts picturing its palpable challenges, gritty atmosphere, elements of satisfaction, and of course, Hidetaka Miyazaki. While FromSoftware is now fully associated with difficult action games such as Dark Souls and Bloodborne, the development studio has a very long history before the release of its very first Souls game....

Gabe Newell On The Half Life 3 Hold Up

It has been a long, winding road for the Half-Life faithful ever since Episode 2 released in 2007. Fans have rallied and the community has exploded, but there has been hardly a peep from famed developer Valve about their most precious property and its inevitable follow-up. On an already revealing podcast appearance, Gabe Newell did not answer any questions about the long development time of Half-Life 3/Episode 3, but he was forced to face the music concerning a sequel to one of the less praised Valve titles - Ricochet (only not really)....

Game Of Thrones Season 1 Trailer Recreated In Skyrim Using 200 Mods

One YouTuber recreates a season one trailer for Game of Thrones within Skyrim, using over 260 modifications to recreate Westeros and its dangerous inhabitants. It’s easy to see the similarities between Game of Thrones and Skyrim, as both medieval fantasy worlds feature a strong focus on dragons, politics, and satisfying, sword-filled acts of war. Popular YouTuber UpIsNotJump evidently saw the crossover potential for the two titles, as he decided to recreate a trailer for Game of Thrones’ first season within the world of Skyrim, a title which remains as popular as ever even five years after its initial release....

Games On Xbox Series S Will Be 30 Smaller In File Size Than On Xbox Series X

The Xbox Series S will have half the internal storage of the Xbox Series X, but Microsoft has already thought of a solution to that particular problem by making games smaller for the Series X. Now that the full specs have been released for both of Microsoft’s next-gen consoles, people are noting the perceived flaws on the much less powerful Xbox Series S. One of those flaws is just how little storage the smaller Xbox receives compared to its bigger sibling, with the Series S receiving just 512 MB of storage compared to the Series X’s 1 TB....

Games That Let You Design Your Dream House

Some gamers often lean more towards titles that have the best combat system, while others may be more creatively inclined, wanting to get their hands on games with the best customization options. But when a blood-thirsty warrior has had his or her fair share of havoc and chaos, one must return home and relax by the fire. Why go home to an empty hut instead of a large vacation get-away?...

Gamestop To Sell Millions Of Shares To Help With Transition Plans

Unfortunately for GameStop, the company never got a chance to cash in on the wild swings in its stock price earlier in the year thanks to the WallStreetBets versus hedge funds drama. At one point, GameStop’s stock price was as high as $480, which would have been a great time to issue new shares. The best time to issue shares would have been months ago, but the second-best time would be right about now....

Gears Of War 4 Will Please Fans But Is Very Familiar

Game Rant goes hands-on with a campaign mission from Gears of War 4 that features JD, Kait, and Del trying to recover a friend from a new, but familiar threat. In what was the only hands-on demo opportunity for Gears of War 4 at E3 2016, it was hard to know what to expect going in. Developer The Coalition seems very much cut from the same cloth as prior Gears dev Epic Games, especially with Rod Fergusson leading the charge, but this is a new phase for the franchise....

Genshin Impact Sacrificial Bow How To Get Stats And More

Genshin Impact has been quick to draw attention for its expansive open world and generally free-to-play nature.

Genshin Impact The 10 Biggest Plot Holes In The Game

While Genshin Impact may be a game that many people are still pretty obsessed with (it’s made such an insane amount of money so far), it’s not an experience so many are sticking with because of its story. The setting and world of Teyvat is complex, sure, but it’s also pretty stereotypical and has a ton of plotholes. Unlike the games similar to it, Genshin is unique in how anime-esque its story is....

George Takei Narrates Hope For The Future

George Takei has lived through cataclysmic times, but he’s never given up his hope for a better future. You can see this sense of hope in his choices of projects, whether it’s the vision of Gene Roddenbery in Star Trek or in his most recent project, narrating two stories by Ken Liu for Serial Box. “Many of my friends are saying, ‘This is cataclysmic, what we’re living through. It’s dystopian, everything being destroyed, this is the end of the earth,’” he says....
