One of this generation’s most detailed games must be Red Dead Redemption 2, which has proven time and again to be filled with tons of gameplay nuances. Hence, a detail has been discovered regarding an island filled with an invasive species of iguanas. Although there are game mechanics details galore, Red Dead Redemption 2’s world is filled with a host of intricacies. Reddit user Jbwasted pointed one out regarding a very large iguana species that exists on an island on the game’s map....

Of the many science fiction film contributions, many can agree Ridley Scott’s Blade Runner is one of the best. Adapted from the Philip K. Dick novel, Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?, Blade Runner will always have a special part in nerd culture. You may find the news of Gearbox Software obtaining the rights to create a Blade Runner video game amazing, but company CEO, Randy Pitchford thought otherwise. There have been two Blade Runner games in gaming history, one releasing back in 1985 for the Commodore 64 and the other releasing in 1997 for the PC....

After its incredible start, miHoYo has only pushed Genshin Impact further in advertising. Although a release on Xbox is unlikely, Genshin Impact has quickly become beloved by many. The sweeping and explosive popularity of Genshin Impact has a lot of factors behind it, but advertising in the West is not a huge one. Right up until its official release, the game was mostly a footnote in the American market, although its predecessor was beloved in China....

Landing earlier today, Ghost of Tsushima’s new Legends mode sees cooperative play introduced to Sucker Punch’s critically acclaimed samurai epic. Although the multiplayer update hasn’t been out for long, it’s seemingly already catching on with fans, who have been taking to social media to share their early thoughts on Ghost of Tsushima’s substantial slice of new online content. Many might assume that the Legends mode was planned by Sucker Punch after the initial launch of Ghost of Tsushima, with the game’s main campaign offering a huge experience filled with content....

Dominic Butler, lead game designer on Ghost Recon Wildlands, commentates a new 12 minute gameplay demo showing off the dynamic weather and stealth gameplay tactics. After a big showing at E3 2016, Ghost Recon Wildlands has taken somewhat of a backseat to allow other Ubisoft games to have their time in the spotlight. With the massively popular For Honor alpha test finally wrapped up and recent Watch_Dogs 2 impressions now out in the wild, Ubisoft is turning its attention back to its upcoming third-person shooter....

Ubisoft held their Ubisoft Forward this week. They showed off various important projects like Watch Dogs Legion, Assassin’s Creed Valhalla, Hyper Scape, and even officially announced Far Cry 6. However, as Yves Guillemot stated at the end of the presentation, they had much more to announce and that another Ubisoft Forward would be coming later in the year. But why? Why do they need two separate digital showcases to show off all their wares?...

Without a doubt, Google Stadia shook the gaming world when it announced its wireless platform at GDC 2019. Not only did it promise the power to support a 1,000-player battle royale, but the recommended Google Stadia internet speed isn’t entirely demanding either. Following the announcement, though, it’s been rather quiet from the tech giant Google, but recently, the company revealed when gamers can expect more information. This information includes the price reveal, game announcements, release date and other launch info for the Google Stadia platform, and per the official Stadia Twitter account, all of this will be learned over the summer....

Google is making a dramatic pivot away from game development today. In an update posted on Stadia’s blog, VP and general manager Phil Harrison announced that the company will focus on making Stadia “the best cloud gaming experience for our partners and the gaming community,” but do so without making any games in-house. “Given our focus on building on the proven technology of Stadia as well as deepening our business partnerships,” wrote Harrison, “we’ve decided that we will not be investing further in bringing exclusive content from our internal development team SG&E, beyond any near-term planned games....

Gotham Knights delivers a refreshing new take on the iconic DC property, with an original story set in a vividly reimagined Gotham City. The game begins with the tragic death of Bruce Wayne and follows his four vigilante proteges as they honor his legacy of protecting Gotham. The RPG design and corresponding combat style of reaching higher levels to advance your progression, among other gameplay aspects, has left many fans feeling divided....

Most of the iconic goals in football history are long shots, and for good reason. Fifa 21 players know how satisfying it is to put the ball in the back of the net from outside the box, but few know how to shoot consistently. Every FUT player card has individual stats that are more intricate than the six base stats indicate. Depending on the type of long shot a player wants to score, the stats of a card will determine how probable it is that the shot will be on target....

What do you do at Paper and FiftyThree? What was it like working on the Courier project at Microsoft? Did you expect Courier to come to market, or in the back of your mind were you thinking, ‘This is all just fantasy to see what we can come up with’? What were some problems you saw with the stylus market and what prompted you to jump in? How does the palm rejection work?...

When one talks about some of the greatest JRPG franchises around, then it goes without saying that Final Fantasy would be an inevitable part of the conversation. In fact, most people who have zero knowledge about this genre would’ve at least heard about this franchise, which is a testament to the lasting legacy of Square Enix’s most recognizable IP. One of the biggest reasons why Final Fantasy is so incredibly successful is mainly due to the fact that the series has featured a number of memorable characters over the course of its run, with each game featuring some absolute standouts that are truly brilliant, whether in combat or otherwise....

Cloud has stood proudly as one of the most recognizable faces in JRPGs for over 20 years now and has made his eloquent return in the long-anticipated Final Fantasy VII Remake. Debuting on the original PlayStation in 1997, Cloud served as an evolution of RPG protagonists before him by offering dialogue choices to flesh out his character and overall felt much more important and realized than a lot of protagonists before and alongside him....

For the past seven weeks, Fortnite players have enjoyed running through a series of Deadpool-themed challenges. But fans who want to enjoy the crossover’s final week on the overhauled Yacht might have some trouble. Some players are currently reporting that they cannot access the last weekly challenges.

It’s been a while since the Need for Speed franchise peaked and fell in popularity. Back in the early 2000s, Need for Speed was nearing its peak as the series capitalized on the street racing car culture that had become mainstream. This was around the time previous Need for Speed games had eschewed the usual supercars in favor of more tuner cars and car customization in each game. Each game improved the arcade-like driving experience and quickly made it the most popular racing franchise in all of video games....

Our quick take Ford Fiesta Titanium 1.0 EcoBoost - 5.0 / 5 Still stunning Good equipment, nice cabin Engine and performance To recap Ford has spent a lot of money developing the EcoBoost engine, and it shows in the way it performs and the fun you can have with it. The downside of that is the firm has to charge a decent sum to recover its investment, which makes cars with this engine significantly more expensive....

Fortnite developer Epic Games revealed earlier this week that Vending Machines would be coming to the game very soon, confirming theories about the feature, but providing little detail about how they would work. A new message from Epic outlines a few different upcoming features and changes, including Content Updates, gameplay and, of course, Vending Machines. Starting this week, Epic will drop new content without the need for an update. These will be called Content Updates....

Fortnite is officially releasing its v15.20 patch update today. With it comes the usual bug fixes, tweaks, and new cosmetics. However, there is one new item that has plenty of fans talking: the Exotic Hop Rock Dualies. Players have had well over a month since first being introduced to all of the changes made by the island’s “Zero Point.” Epic Games’ popular battle royale title is now receiving a second update to Season 5, the first of which came a little over a month ago....

While a majority of Fortnite’s Season 4 Week 10 challenges can be easily completed by referencing the map and following the instructions, that is not the case for absolutely all of them. For instance, one of this week’s challenges asks players to search Chests at Upstate New York, and fans will need to know exactly where to find this location before they can tackle the task. Fortunately, locating Upstate New York in Fortnite is quite simple with just a bit of guidance....
