Final Fantasy 7 Remake Intergrade is a fairly predictable remaster, especially with the original game launching mere months before the PS5 and Xbox Series X crashed onto the scene. However, aside from a few bangers in the form of Returnal and Ratchet and Clank: Rift Apart, next-gen exclusives have been rather thin on the ground. Such a landscape makes the arrival of Intergrade a welcome occasion, with Square Enix enhancing it in a number of ways that ensure it feels at home on Sony’s new console....

Is it that time already? The next character to grace Street Fighter V Arcade Edition has been revealed (or rather, dated, we already knew he was coming). If you’re a fan of Street Fighter, Final Fight or just about anything else with the word fight in the title, you’re going to be glad to make Cody’s acquaintance again. Cody Travers originates from another Capcom property, the beat-em-up franchise Final Fight. The first title, which arrived back in 1989, introduces us to him in his typical ‘rescuing the damsel in distress from the bad guys’ role....

If you’ve ever wanted a middle schooler to make fun of you, your time is nigh. Teasing Master Takagi-San VR 1st Semester is finally here to remind you of petty bullying and the lingering stench of Axe body spray. Jokes aside, Teasing Master Takagi-San VR is actually an adaptation of the hit Netflix anime series. The franchise is built around the protagonist getting teased by the titular Takagi-san - a mischievous little lass with a cheeky smirk and an alarmingly huge (and endearing) forehead....

New footage from a cancelled game based on The Flash appears online, giving fans of the beloved DC Comics hero a chance to see what might have been had development continued. Whether it be the highs of Batman: Arkham City or the lows of Superman 64, video games based on characters from DC Comics have had a wildly different reception over the years. As well as this, there have been numerous games based on characters from the DC universe that have been cancelled halfway through development, with one notable example being that of an open world game of The Flash....

It’s already well known that the Tomb Raider herself, Lara Croft, is one of the new crossover characters appearing in Fortnite Season 6. In fact, fans can unlock three different variations of her, with one based on her modern appearance and the other two based on her classic look from the original games. However, the Tomb Raider collaboration doesn’t end there as Square Enix announced that her home of Croft Manor will be added to the game too....

With only a few weeks left in Fortnite’s Season 5, fans are beginning to speculate about what the next season might have in store. Some fans on Reddit believe Season 5’s portal locations hint at the return of Kevin the Cube, a strange object that has not been seen in Fortnite since 2018. Kevin the Cube first appeared in during the “Crack Closure” event that occurred in Fortnite in August 2018....

When a game achieves global appeal on the scale of Fortnite, there exists the issue of appeasing the censors of some of the largest markets in gaming. Specifically in the case of China, whose population density and affinity for mobile gaming makes for one of the most important demographics to impress from a business standpoint, there exist various rules on what is deemed appropriate in their entertainment media. Plenty of changes made in the spirit of adhering to China’s censorship tendencies might seem confusing to western audiences....

Since it became available, Fortnite’s Infinity Gauntlet mode has been a big hit with fans of Epic Games’ wildly popular sandbox survival title, as the Limited Time Mode has allowed players to wield the titular glove as the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s character Thanos and wreak havoc upon the competition. Of course, as has been the case with many LTMs, the aforementioned mode will retire, and it’s set to leave the game tomorrow on May 15, 2018....

Not too long ago, the Twitch streamer known as Ninja set a new record for a solo stream after playing Fortnite with rappers Drake and Travis Scott, as well as Steelers wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster, showing that the game is even enjoyed by famous musicians and athletes during their downtime. Now, in a move that is capitalizing on such a concept of stars playing video games while also being done as a viable marketing tool, Epic Games has announced plans to host a forthcoming celebrity-filled tournament with 50 of “the world’s greatest athletes and entertainers....

Aspiring game designers may not know where to start, especially when it comes to entering a console ecosystem, such as PlayStation.

According to experts, gaming is quickly becoming a “new political arena” as gamers fight for the right to privacy, free speech and anonymity. Attendees at RightsCon, a virtual digital rights conference, said that there is a heightened awareness of these issues among video game operators, designers and governments. Gamers for Freedom, sponsored by the nonprofit organization Fight for the Future, has advocated for the freedom of expression as a fundamental human right, claiming that companies like Activision Blizzard Entertainment and Riot Games are attempting to silence gamers who speak up about political oppression....

Aya, a short-lived yet prominent character within Assassin’s Creed Origins, seems to have existed long before the 2017 entry hit shelves. In fact, the very first mention of the female assassin dates back to one of the series’ most highly acclaimed games in Assassin’s Creed II. We recently learned that Aya was originally meant to have a much larger role in Origins until her presence was cut down to a small handful of scenes....

Popular gaming forum NeoGAF has gone offline after sexual assault allegations surfaced about the site’s owner. At one point Saturday evening the site came back online, but it has since been taken down once again. It all started when sexual assault allegations surfaced against Tyler Malka, better known as Evilore on the NeoGAF forums. This isn’t the first time that Malka’s reputation has come under fire, mind you, but it appears to be the straw that broke the camel’s back within the GAF community....

The first three Gears of War games could be identified by their muscle-bound heroes, chainsaw weapons, and scaly antagonists. Gears 4 and 5, however, altered that last aspect. Instead of the Locust Horde, the titles put you up against a new type of enemy in the Swarm. The fourth and fifth entries are still among the best in the series, but fighting these new creatures feels odd. Although, they’re not entirely different from the Locusts as they share several similarities....

Stats for Windblume Ode, Elegy for the End, Wine and Song, and The Alley Flash were all revealed earlier today – and they’re bound to become some of the most popular weapons in Genshin Impact.
