Just yesterday, Epic Games officially implemented the first-ever crossover event for its wildly popular sandbox survival title, Fortnite, by teaming up with Marvel to release the limited time Infinity Gauntlet mode. Now, the appearance of an indestructible hatch on the game’s map has many fans wondering what its purpose is, and whether or not the developer has plans to eventually incorporate some kind of crossover with the American TV drama Lost....
Without a doubt, Fortnite’s Season 4 has brought about a host of changes to Epic Games’ wildly popular sandbox survival title, with one of the most major alterations coming about due to the long-awaited collision of the meteor strike on what was formerly Dusty Depot. In addition to this specific amendment, the overall map itself has had a plethora of design revamps take place following the implementation of the recent Update 4....
Hunters are the key focus of Fortnite Chapter 2, Season 5. The story of Fortnite’s “Zero Point” season follows up on the Marvel Comics-themed Season 4 by gathering characters from across different dimensions through a rift created by Galactus’ invasion, including pop culture icons like Din Djarin (Mando) from Disney+ series The Mandalorian and Kratos from Santa Monica Studio’s God of War. Fans of the popular battle royale title have been speculating about other characters they want to see as skins fitting the theme, such as Samus Aran from the Metroid series....
With only a few days left before Friday the 13th: The Game is finally released, players are undoubtedly deciding whether PlayStation 4, Xbox One, or PC will be their platform of choice. While single-player may be out of the question, fans may not need to worry so much about platform choice for multiplayer because the developer, Gun Media, has confirmed that cross-platform play is currently in the works. While it may seem like game is lacking a few features at the moment given that cross-platform play is seemingly up in the air, as well as the lack of a Friday the 13th: The Game single-player mode until the Summer, the multiplayer mode is fleshed out enough that fans won’t get bored for some time yet....
Free-to-Play game Forza Motorsport 6: Apex won’t be the only Forza game on PC, as Microsoft and Turn 10 Studios plan to bring future series installments to the platform. Last month, Forza Motorsport 6: Apex, a free to play version of Forza Motorsport 6, was announced for PC. Exclusive to Microsoft’s Windows 10 operating system, the game is set to offer 12 racing events and 63 different cars across six different tracks (in 20 configurations) and there will also be skills challenges to earn in-game currency....
Despite some bellyaching about gear sunsetting and some genuinely terrible bugs (RIP Trials and Witherhoard) Beyond Light is off to an incredibly strong start. Destiny 2 has the best new player experience it has ever had, the new patrol zones Europa and The Cosmodrome are fantastic, and in just one day we’ll get to finally meet Crow and start working on the season content. There are many awesome things about Beyond Light, but I think my favorite thing to come out of this new expansion has got to be the new and improved Gambit....
This week, the United States published a document that outlines a modification to an action plan that would raise taxes on goods imported from China by up to 25%. Among the items listed on the proposed Chinese imports are game consoles and controllers, which despite being designed by companies in the United States and Japan are actually manufactured and imported from China. At present, this document is a request for hearing wherein the US Government will listen to comments about this proposed tax increase....
Over the last few years, its become increasingly apparent that GameStop’s chain of stores is in a lot of trouble. Not only has the brand encountered severe financial difficulties, but it also stumbled into mass controversy at the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic for endangering GameStop employees and creating hazardous work environments. Recently, the company announced that it would enter a multi-year partnership with Microsoft, hoping to alleviate its bad luck by striking a strategic deal that would benefit both companies....
The status of next-gen consoles amid the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic remains in flux. Both Sony and Microsoft have assured fans that the PS5 and Xbox Series X are, respectively, still planned for release in late 2020. Of the most likely to be affected parties is GameStop, which heavily relies on hardware sales and is relying on the next-gen console launches to have a successful 2020. GameStop CEO George Sherman was recently asked his thoughts about the potential delays– and he remains optimistic....
Lord Shimura is the tritagonist in Ghost of Tsushima. He’s the figure the main hero has to fight at the climax of the story, but he’s not necessarily the main villain of the story. In fact, he’s not the villain at all. He just has these codes and moral standings that contradict that of the main character, which ultimately become the cause of their divide. Lord Shimura is not a perfect man....
During our coverage of E3 2018, Sucker Punch revealed to Game Rant that the forthcoming PlayStation 4 exclusive Ghost of Tsushima could be played entirely in Japanese with English subtitles, with the feature certainly intended to add an extra air of authenticity to the title. Now, the studio has officially put out a brand new version of the footage that debuted during Sony’s E3 2018 press conference, with all of its spoken dialogue now being Japanese....
It has been a big month for God of War, with the highly anticipated PS4 game taking center stage in a number of gaming publications’ coverage. And for good reason since there is apparently only a few months left before the game releases, at least according to the latest rumors and leaks. According to a listing from a Portuguese retailer, God of War will release for PS4 on March 22, 2018....
Early last week, indie mobile developer Dong Nguyen made good on his promise to release a new game to the masses. And unlike Flappy Birds Family, this game was available on every digital storefront. Dubbed Swing Copters, this new game borrows heavily from Flappy Bird’s lead and features a cutesy helicopter guy trying to navigate a series of pathways. However, instead of constantly tapping the screen to keep/gain momentum like in Flappy Bird, a tap of the screen changes the lateral movement of the copter....
In the late 19th century Oscar Wilde wrote, “Life imitates art far more than art imitates life.” He was right, but what he could not have expected was that art would become so cyclical that eventually it would imitate itself. Case in point: the above video, which features a recreation of the thrilling train sequence from Skyfall done up using Grand Theft Auto 5. It’s an impressive demonstration, to say the least, and one that we imagine took a lot of patience and timing to get right....
After many years of watching European football on television, I’d like to think I know a little bit about what makes for a good simulation of the ‘beautiful game’. Soccer fans from all over the world are able to re-live their favorite team’s best moments, both on the club and international levels, and duke it out online against teams from different continents. However, not every football game is created equal. Something I know all too well after more than a decade playing EA’s FIFA and Konami’s PES/Winning Eleven games....
Electronic Arts made the much-expected reveal of the all-new FIFA 19 trailer during today’s EA Press Conference, revealing an exclusive UEFA Champions League game mode, Ultimate Team mode updates, and a subtle poke at the alleged drama between 5-time Champions League winner Cristiano Ronaldo and the world’s most expensive player, Neymar. Fans can expect FIFA 19 to release within its usual post-summer window slot of September 28, 2018 for PC and all consoles, though the Nintendo Switch edition likely won’t feature support for the Frostbyte engine that powers the game on other devices....
As promised, Respawn Entertainment took the stage during Electronic Arts’ Gamescom Press Conference to announce the latest piece of Titanfall DLC. And as it turns out, this latest map pack will also reportedly be the game’s last, bringing the total downloadable map tally to nine. The pack itself is slated for release later this fall and will carry the moniker IMC Rising. It will include maps titled Backwater, Zone 18, and Sandtrap, and will retail for the typical $10 price point....
As if it needed to be said, Final Fantasy 15 is one of the most highly anticipated titles to come from Square Enix in quite some time. Since it was announced almost a decade ago during E3 2006 underneath the now-defunct title Final Fantasy Versus 13, fans have been clamoring for any and all details related to the RPG. However, it’s regrettable to note that not much about the game has been revealed since then aside from its confirmation for PS4 and Xbox One at Sony’s E3 2013 press conference a while back....
Many of the entries to the Final Fantasy series have kept fans anxiously awaiting their release, but none have pushed their release back quite as far as Final Fantasy XV. Originally announced in 2006 as a spin-off of Final Fantasy XIII, the game evolved from there to become its own standalone title. However, while nearly ten years have passed since that announcement, the game still remains in development hell. Square Enix finally began to get the ball rolling earlier this year with the Final Fantasy XV Episode Duscae demo, but they also refrained from revealing anything to do with the game at E3 2015....
As many gamers will attest, Final Fantasy 7 is not only one of the top video game sequels to reinvent its franchise, but also an arguable contender for the best RPG of all time. Considering such notions, ever since Square Enix revealed the first trailer for the upcoming remake of Final Fantasy 7 during Sony’s press conference at E3 2015, fans have been ecstatic about the news, clamoring for any morsel of information regarding the upcoming title....
