The logistical issues Naughty Dog referenced are worth talking about. While they don’t expand on what, exactly, those issues are, we can take a pretty make some educated guesses as to what is happening. As we’ve previously noted in the case of Final Fantasy 7, it seems that some developers and publishers are concerned regarding

“While we don’t know what the state of the pandemic will be this August, we do know it will not be possible to complete the work and planning with partners, vendors, volunteers, and others that is required to make QuakeCon a success.” QuakeCon has traditionally been a celebration of Bethesda’s id shooter properties.

However, there are probably more than a few people who would argue against the idea that the original Resident Evil was a bad game. While it’s nearly impossible to convince anyone who still fondly remembers the survival horror classic otherwise, you do have to admit some of Resident Evil’s shortcomings when examining its legacy. By shortcomings, I

“Eternity Code brings new support for Ignition Assault themes like Ancient Warriors, Plunder Patroll and the Ignisters!,” says Konami regarding this booster pack series. “The game has changed, giving Duelists more ways to make the most of their Fusion, Synchro and Xyz Monsters.

For now, though, let’s begin that speculation. A new Paper Mario game certainly seems like a realistic prospect at this point. We haven’t really gotten a new Paper Mario game for consoles since 2016’s Paper Mario: Color Splash for Wii U, so it makes sense that Nintendo would choose to revisit it now. The fact

AMD revealed that a hacker has stolen files possibly related to the Xbox Series X’s GPU (among other products) and is now holding them for ransom. “In December 2019, we were contacted by someone who claimed to have test files related to a subset of our current and future graphics products, some of which were

While that is undoubtedly the right move, it does put GameStop in an awkward position from a business perspective. The company was reportedly struggling even before the spread of the coronavirus, and there are some who believe that the company may not be able to survive a multi-month shutdown.

Those who have played other asymmetrical multiplayer experiences will know roughly what to expect from this game.

“To some extent, everything we just described is about ‘What does VR as a platform and experience bring to the table?’” Walker asks. “And if that is not significant, then it’s not interesting? We believe it’s significant and interesting. And there’s no better way than to play this game in non-VR, I think, than to

Star War 1313 remains not only one of gaming’s most famous cancelled projects but an essential piece of video game and Star Wars history.

Pokemon Go developer Niantic has announced a new series of updates designed to help people still play the game despite likely being stuck inside due to the spread of the coronavirus.

Echo has been revealed as Overwatch‘s 32nd hero in a new trailer that teases her arrival to Blizzard’s competitive first-person shooter.

5. Hitmonchan Here we go! And now we’ve arrived to the collection of cards we’ve all been waiting for. One deck archetype in retro Pokémon towers over the rest.

The moment you step off the train platform in 2001’s Animal Crossing, you are greeted by Tom Nook, who identifies himself as the town store owner and then immediately proceeds to mock you for being homeless.

Evo’s statement resembles one made by the Entertainment Software Association (ESA) two weeks ago before it decided to cancel E3 2020, gaming’s biggest trade show, last week.

Unfortunately, one of Ori and the Blind Forest’s best quirks is missing from the sequel. Ori’s ability to save anywhere, once a selling point, is now gone—and why shouldn’t it be? In the last five years, games have mostly shed any emphasis on manual saves, either doing it automatically as Will of the Wisps does
