WoW Team Issues Statement, Vows To Remove "Not Appropriate" References From The Game

The World of Warcraft development team has released a statement addressing the issues put forth by California's discrimination lawsuit against Activision Blizzard. The message was shared on the MMO's official Twitter account and on the game's official website, signed by "The World of Warcraft team." The message recognizes the pain of the women who were allegedly harassed and discriminated against and says that the studio will take time and action for World of Warcraft to get to a better place. The message also states that "we also want to take immediate action in Azeroth to remove references that are not appropriate for our world." A message from the #Warcraft team. pic.twitter.com/3gWCz1gu8T — World of Warcraft (@Warcraft) July 27, 2021 While it is not directly stated what references are being removed from both World of Warcraft and World of Warcraft Classic it seems likely that the team will be removing references to former director Alex Afrasiabi, who was named in the lawsuit. Afrasiabi--who quietly left the company in summer 2020--allegedly would frequently hit on women at the company, attempt to kiss them, and throw his arms around their necks.Continue Reading at GameSpot

Activision Blizzard Employees Are Staging A Walkout On Wednesday

Employees at Activision Blizzard have said they won't work on Wednesday out of protest for the publisher's "abhorrent and insulting" response to the ongoing lawsuit that documents claims of sexual harassment of women, pay violations, and a "frat boy" culture. "We believe that that our values as employees are not being accurately reflected in the words and actions of our leadership," organizers of the protest said in a statement to Polygon. The employee group demands that executives at Activision Blizzard "improve conditions for employees at the company, especially women, and in particular women of color and transgender women, nonbinary people, and other marginalized groups."Continue Reading at GameSpot

Neo: World Ends With You Beginner's Guide - Essential Tips & Tricks

Welcome to the Reapers' Game, Players! Neo: The World Ends With You is out now, and we're here to give you some advice to help get your adventure off on the right foot. Whether you're a complete newcomer to the Shibuya Underground or an older fan who may have forgotten a thing or two with time, our starter guide should help you keep in step with the beat of Neo: TWEWY's unique gameplay. Keep Pushing Buttons Neo: TWEWY has an action-based battle system, but what's unique is that you can control all of the characters at once by pressing their assigned attack buttons. The best way to fight is by using lots of button presses in tandem to lock down enemies and score combos. For example, with a PS4 controller, if you have a mash attack set to square, a charge attack set to L1, and a hold attack set to R2, you can be pressing all of those buttons at the same time: hold R2 to launch a sustained attack to keep an enemy stunned while charging on L1 and rapid-pressing square, then release L1 to finish off your team attack with a charged strike once the other attacks run their course. After you charge your Groove meter and execute a special attack, don't let up on the normal button-press strikes while the big attack's going down! You can still get in additional hits while the special is playing out. Use this opportunity to maximize damage and even get some of your Groove back!Continue Reading at GameSpot

Tranformers Soundwave By J. Balvin Is A Fantastic G1 Reskin

Hasbro is producing an exclusive Transformer that is a collaboration with the Prince of Reggaeton, musician J. Balvin, whose song "Mi Gente" was everywhere during the summer of 2017, and he also did a song for the Paramount+ Spongebob Squarepants movie Sponge on the Run last year. This is the first collaboration between Hasbro and a musician since the Transformers Collaborative began in 2019. What has now been rebranded as J.Balvintron, the reskinned Soundwave has some of J. Balvin's signature art on it--primarily the yellow smiley face with red lightning bolts. Hasbro sent us the J.Balvitron figure to check out, and you can see those images below.Gallery J.Balvintron comes in specialty boxing, and the figure itself comes with two mini cassette figures with designs inspired by his albums "Energia" and "Vibras"--one transforms into a tiger (Stripes) and the other into a condor (Buzzsaw). There is also a blaster which he can hold or mount onto shoulder, with multicolor blast effect. Yes, it's exactly as you remember it, but with a visual facelift to go along with J. Balvin's style, who was a a diehard fan of the animated series as a child. And yes, you can open up the boombox to put the mini-cassette figures in it--which is a must-have for a G1 Soundwave figure.Continue Reading at GameSpot

Legends Of Tomorrow Reveals New Trailer And John Constantine's Departure At Comic-Con

The best and most unpredictable series in The CW's Arrow-verse isn't slowing down anytime soon. The cast and showrunner of Legends of Tomorrow came to Comic-Con to not only tease what will happen during the rest of Season 6 but share some very interesting information about Season 7. First up, a trailer for the remainder of Season 6 was shared. It includes quite a bit of action, be it at bowling alleys in space, murder mystery weekends, or even the wedding of Sarah Lance (Caity Lotz) and Ava Sharpe (Jes Macallan). It was also confirmed that Season 6 will be the end of John Constantine's journey on Legends of Tomorrow, as that character will depart the Waverider for good. Now the big question is whether he'll do it alive or not, based on the dark magic overtaking him in the trailer below. Still, while Constantine may be leaving Legends, that's not the case for the actor who portrays him. Showrunner Phil Klemmer revealed that Ryan will still be a series regular in Season 7, taking on a new original role. He will play Dr. Gwyn Davies, who is described as "an eccentric scientist from the early 20th century who might be the team’s only hope next season."Continue Reading at GameSpot

Doctor Who Reveals Season 13 Footage, Adds Game Of Thrones Star At Comic-Con

Doctor Who is coming back later this year for Season 13, with Jodie Whittaker's Doctor at the helm once again and if the trailer for the upcoming episodes shown during Comic-Con 2021 is any indication, this season is going to be massive and action-packed. It'll also see a couple of new faces--including one you will surely recognize. Game of Thrones star Jacob Anderson (Grey Worm) is joining the series for Season 13 and couldn't be any more excited. "This is like a dream," he said during the panel. This is like a real childhood dream to be a part of Doctor Who and even more so to be in Doctor Who with Jodie." The two previously worked together on the first season of Broadchurch, alongside that show's creator--and current Doctor Who showrunner--Chris Chibnall. Also joining the cast is comedian John Bishop, who took part in the panel. He plays Dan Lewis, the newest addition to the Doctor's TARDIS crew and will be traveling with the Doctor and her companion Yaz (Mandip Gill) throughout space and time.Continue Reading at GameSpot

Robert Kirkman Gives Walking Dead Movie Update

It's been a while since we've heard anything about the Rick Grimes Walking Dead movie, but at the Robert Kirkman panel for Comic-Con 2021, the Walking Dead comic creator gave a little bit of an update about the movie. When asked about when the Rick Grimes movie would come out, Kirkman responded, "I can't tell you. I could throw out a funny date. I don't know. It's definitely going to be before 2032. I wish there were more updates. There's a lot going on behind-the-scenes. Because we're pre-recording this, it's entirely possible that there are some details that are coming out around Comic-Con that I just don't know we're allowed to talk about yet. So I'm being a good boy, and I'm not going to spoil anything, but I will say there's exciting stuff happening behind-the-scenes, and I am as frustrated as you guys are that we have not been able to reveal everything to you and talk about it non stop." Kirkman went on to reassure everyone that they want to make a quality film, while praising Rick Grimes himself, Andrew Lincoln. "Lincoln is amazing," explained Kirkman. "I miss seeing Andrew Lincoln running around as Rick Grimes. I can't wait until we're filming this thing and then this thing's coming out. It's gonna be awesome. You know everybody's working very hard to make this thing as good as it can be. All I will say, we don't want a bad Rick Grimes movie, right? We want an amazing Rick Grimes movie and so everybody behind-the-scenes is making sure that when this comes out it is worth the wait, and it is actually the special character building Rick Grimes journey that everybody wants it to be. And so we're not going to be rushing this thing out, and we're going to make sure that it's perfect. So that is what's going on behind-the-scenes, and when it finally comes out, when we're showing trailers and stuff, you'll see you'll be like, 'Ah, that's exactly what we wanted. I'm so glad they waited.'"Continue Reading at GameSpot

"We're hoping the Rock will hear us, or if anybody knows the Rock...tell him we want that." Smith could not visibly hold in her excitement. "I've only been saying this was a good idea in every interview I've done for the past two years!" She mentioned when asked in interviews if there's a guest star she'd love to have on the show, she keeps insisting on Dwayne Johnson.Continue Reading at GameSpot

This Multiplatform Mobile Controller Is On Sale For A Great Price

Maybe it's obvious, but the way we play video games has changed immensely.

The Serafim S1: Multi-Platform Gaming Controller is compatible with Android phones as well as Steam, Nintendo Switch, the Epic Games Store, and more, and it's on sale for 34% off.

You can program macros right into the controller, a great tool for games like League of Legends and others of its ilk. The Serafim S1 connects via Bluetooth and comes with a wireless Bluetooth dongle, and with over 20 hours of battery life, you needn't worry about your controller dying mid-game.

Warcraft 3: Reforged A Victim Of Mismanagement, Pressure From Activision, And Budget Cuts - Report

When Warcraft 3: Reforged released last year to disastrous reviews and missing features, fans were left to wonder what went wrong with the remake of one of the most legendary RTS games of all time. A new report sheds light on alleged mismanagement and a reduced budget resulted in Blizzard's maligned remake. The report comes from Bloomberg's Jason Schreier, who talked with numerous developers who either worked on the project directly or were close to the game in some way. He also reviewed an internal "postmortem" document produced after the game's release that was Blizzard's attempt to understand what went wrong. There was plenty that didn't go according to plan. The initial scope of Warcraft 3: Reforged when it was first announced in 2018 was a complete reimagining of Blizzard's 2002 RTS. Blizzard planned to redo Warcraft 3's in-game cutscenes and rewrite and rerecord all the game's voice-overs to more closely align with the updated lore of World of Warcraft, the MMORPG sequel to Warcraft 3 that for many was a gateway into the Warcraft universe.Continue Reading at GameSpot

Details are sure to emerge at some point but until then we'll just have to speculate about whether it's a film about the weather, an evil cloud, or something very bad that lurks inside it.Continue Reading at GameSpot

Aliens: Fireteam Elite Captures The 1986 Film — And Goes Beyond It

The quintessential Aliens experience is the feeling that everything is falling apart. That's exactly what Aliens: Fireteam Elite is going for. First, you head into a xenomorph-infested facility, confident in the firepower you're carrying to get you through any situation. Then, slowly, you find yourself more and more overwhelmed as you fight through swarms of aliens. A lurking creature leaps out from around a corner, pinning one of your teammates to the floor and ripping into them before you're able to blast it with a shotgun. Medpacks run out. Your ammo reserves are depleted. Now, at the end of one of the game's missions, you're standing in front of an elevator, knowing that when you call it, the room is going to fill with vicious creatures that want to tear you apart--and they're not going to stop coming until you're dead. You've refilled your ammo from a conveniently placed crate, but the sentry guns and mines you've placed feel like they'll only slow the swarm down. No amount of superior firepower is going to be enough; all you've really got are your teammates to watch your back, and the hope that you can hold out long enough to make a break for it when your escape finally arrives.Continue Reading at GameSpot

New The Last Of Us TV Show Set Photos Have Emerged

New photos from The Last Of Us TV show have appeared online, giving us a look at how the HBO production is going. The images were taken in Fort Macleod in Canada by Twitter user @necromonica1, showing a street that's been made up to look like Austin, Texas. pic.twitter.com/vNaoIchn3J — Ted’s desk 🧛‍♀️ 🇨🇦 kindness is punk (@necromonica1) July 19, 2021 As picked up by GamesRadar, the images show a number of emergency vehicles including SWAT vans, police cars, and a fire truck showing department logos from Austin, Texas. As fans surmised from the last photo that was revealed from the set, which included lead actor Pedro Pascal smiling in a car with his co-stars, it's likely that the HBO production is working on scenes that will mirror one of the game's most notorious sections. Series writer Craig Mazin has told fans that the show will follow the story of the game, but has also promised that it won't just be a shot-for-shot retelling, so it'll be interesting to see what happens in the TV show's version of Austin.Continue Reading at GameSpot

Zelda: Breath of the Wild Player Finishes Game Without Crossing The Same Path

Zelda: Breath of the Wild challenge runs are nothing new, but one player managed to find a new way to push the envelope: by turning Link's adventure into a giant game of Snake. Game developer and streamer Everest Pipkin managed to beat the game without recrossing their path, an undertaking that took them eight months and six restarts. The Master Trials DLC added a mode to the game called Hero's Path, which allows the player to see where Link has travelled over the past 200 hours of gameplay. As such, Pipkin decided it would be funny to turn the game into a version of the "travelling salesman problem", calling it the Traveling Swordsman Problem as a joke. I DID IT. i beat snake in breath of the wild. it took me 8 months and 6 restarts and countless moments of terror as it began to rain, but it is DONE pic.twitter.com/OwHTxauYP5 — everest (@everestpipkin) July 1, 2021 Pipkin finally managed to finish the run on June 30. As the above map shows, it's a surprisingly difficult route that they had to follow, as they opted to visit all of the game's towers to fill out the map. Additionally, the fact that the game doesn't track 3D space (and therefore elevation) meant that Pipkin had to make sure not to travel over the same space twice, even taking X and Y positioning into account. They actually failed their first run because a cutscene required them to stand on a roof of a building that they had already entered. For more details on this challenge run, check out Kotaku's lengthy write-up--it's pretty impressive stuff.

More Than 100,000 People Have Registered For The Halo Infinite Beta

Halo Infinite developer 343 Industries is seeing a lot of interest in the upcoming Halo Infinite multiplayer beta. Community director Brian Jarrard said on Twitter that more than six figures worth of people--so, 100,000 people or more--have signed up for the upcoming preview. Jarrard and others from 343 have been tweeting semi-regularly about the upcoming Halo Infinite beta, or flight. The reason they're being so persistent is that, despite the massive number of sign-ups, a lot of people have not completed all the required steps to get invited. I know folks are getting tired of seeing all the Halo Insider reminders - I promise we're not trolling. Truth is we have a LOT (six figures worth) of people who "signed up" but didn't complete all the required steps.

Psychonauts 2's Tim Schafer Reflects On Life Under Microsoft

Double Fine was a big acquisition for Microsoft back in 2019, as the studio headed by Tim Schafer had been responsible for well-received but not always financially successful games such as Brutal Legend and several remasters of classic LucasArts games. Now part of Microsoft's lineup of first-party studios, not much has changed for the developer as Tim Schafer explained that so far it had been business as usual--but without the added headache of having to secure funding for projects. "The way that Xbox has been acquiring studios is what they call 'limited integration'," Schafer explained to Stevivor about how Microsoft's vast resources put his mind at ease. Under Microsoft, Double Fine still had complete creative freedom and access to the company's deep pockets. "Think about creative things instead of thinking about how you’re gonna run out of money in three months," Schafer said.Continue Reading at GameSpot

At TennoCon 2021, developer Digital Extremes finally revealed more info about Warframe's The New War story expansion, which was first teased back in 2019. Coming later this year, The New War is a new cinematic story quest focusing on the Tenno and other factions entering a new phase of conflict that was will stretch across the entire star system. This new story expansion will also signal the next phase for the free-to-play action RPG, which will see cross-play for all versions of the game coming at a later date. During the TennoCon 2021 live stream, we saw over 30 minutes of extended gameplay for The New War expansion. This cinematic quest line sees the Tenno--the faction of Space Ninjas--work with allies from other factions to face off against the artificial life-forms known as the Sentients, who have invaded Cestus on the Planes of Eidolon. According to the developers, The New War will be the longest story quest the game has seen yet. In a similar vein to previous cinematic quests like The Sacrifice and The Second Dream, The New War will take you on different missions with set-piece encounters and bespoke story beats that will reveal new lore about Warframe's key characters and factions. This new expansion will also set the stage for coming with the following expansions and live events. The extended gameplay reveal from TennoCon 2021 started off with a bang, showing off the scale of the Sentient invasion. In a surprise twist, we then cut to gameplay for characters other than our familiar Tenno. While your adventures throughout Warframe have focused on the Tenno, The New War will mark the first time players take on an active role as side characters for story missions. In the gameplay we saw during the stream, The New War will feature missions letting you control the sword-wielding Teshin of the Conclave faction, Kahl-175 of the Grineer, and the Corpus engineer Veso. These standalone missions will focus on each character's particular loadout and skills, making them stand apart from the slate of Frames you've become well accustomed to over the years. However, The New War will still focus on the Tenno and their actions during this quest.Continue Reading at GameSpot

Did Marvel's Black Widow Introduce The First MCU Mutant?

When Marvel's Black Widow hit theaters and Disney+ last week, it snuck in the Marvel Cinematic Universe's first mutant in the form of Ursa Major, member of Russian mutant team the Winter Guard--at least if actor Olivier Richters' Instagram post is accurate (via Uproxx). After Natasha Romanoff's peaceful, if false, life in Ohio is upset so that she and her adoptive sister can be trained as an assassins, their mission-father Alexei Shostakov ends up in a Russian gulag where we find him effortlessly arm-wrestling (and maiming) a giant man he refers to as Ursa. The post features Richters flexing alongside a gallery of comic book shots of Ursa Major, who has the ability to turn into a bear. In the comics, Ursa Major is a mutant like the X-Men, New Mutants, and the Brotherhood of Evil Mutants.Continue Reading at GameSpot

Reebok's Jurassic Park Sneakers Proves That Life Finds A Way To Stay Fashionable

Shoe scientists were so preoccupied with whether they could engineer Jurassic Park sneakers, that they never bothered to check if they should create them. That tinkering has resulted in a collaboration between Reebok and Amblin Entertainment that celebrates the 1993 film by proving that life finds a way to don some fashionable kicks. There'll be quite a few of these sneakers available with various price points. At the top of the shoe chain there's the $200 Instapump Fury OG which looks like it was built out of a Jurassic Park touring vehicle and has some tasteful battle damage. The Jurassic Stomper also costs $200, but it has a more tasteful design inspired by the infield InGen staff uniforms. Then there's the $200 Pump Omni Zone 2 that features a Dilophosaurus theme, complete with carnivorous aesthetics. Sadly, the shoes lack any other flair that can be used to terrify would-be theme park saboteurs.Continue Reading at GameSpot

First Chucky Trailer Brings Toy Terror To The Suburbs

The first trailer for the Chucky TV series is here. The Child's Play spin-off show premieres on SyFy and USA Network on October 12. The trailer is very short and doesn't give too much way in terms of the plot. However, it does reveal how cursed doll Chucky ends up in the hands of a new family. He's picked up at a yard sale--but not before he takes one of the knives being sold right next to him. The rest of the promo is a quickly cut montage of characters and scary moments and ends with Chucky's distinctive evil laugh. Check it out below: The cast of Chucky is a mix of new actors and names that will be familiar to the long-running series.

Elgato Reveals New Suite Of Streamer Gear For First-Time And Veteran Creators

Technology manufacturer Elgato has unveiled a bunch of new products geared toward streamers of all followings and sizes, including a webcam, mic arms, mounts, and even a browser-based program to build the perfect setup. The company revealed the products piecemeal on Twitter following its roughly 30-minute July 15 livestream. Each one is purchasable from Elgato's website and range from $100-$200. There are also bundles available to buy. Perhaps the most scintillating of the bunch is the brand-new Elgato Facecam, the company's first official webcam that sits on top of a computer monitor. Retailing at $200, the Facecam shoots uncompressed 1080p video at 60fps and packs some high-end tech--like a Sony Starvis sensor typically found in DSLR cameras and other camcorders--in a small, plug-and-play chassis. The Facecam also features an all-glass lens with ultra-low distortion to produce a high-quality, wide-angle image regardless of lighting.Continue Reading at GameSpot

Rainbow Six Siege's New Limited-Time Headshot Mode Is Live

Rainbow Six Siege's new game mode is live, and if you've ever wanted to prove just how good your aim is, then Ubisoft's squad-based shooter Headshot may be what you're looking for. As the title says, only a well-aimed round to the head will take down an opponent, as body shots do zero damage. Headshot will take place on a limited map pool of Kafe Dostoyevsky, House, Border, and Favela. Attackers will be designated as team silver and will have stun grenades and breach charges at their disposal, while the defending team gold has access to barbed wire and bulletproof cameras. Headshot also has no preparation phase and reinforcements have been removed, resulting in a game of pure skill according to Ubisoft. There's only a small window of opportunity though, as Headshot will be available from July 15-19.Continue Reading at GameSpot

The whimsical battle royale game Fall Guys continues to expand. Season 5 is coming up next, and developer Mediatonic has now revealed its theme and release date: July 20. The studio teased the theme with an elaborate puzzle, which the community quickly solved in about an hour to reveal that "jungle adventure" is the theme for Fall Guys Season 5.

Spider-Man: No Way Home Hot Toys Figure Shows Best Look Yet At Spidey's New Costume

Hot Toys usually unveils new figures based on popular films after they've launched, but this week the Hong Kong-based manufacturer is unveiling its new slate of collectibles a few months early. In addition to a concept art version of Doctor Strange decked out in Iron Man armor and Boba Fett on a throne fit for a Hutt, the company revealed its Spider-Man: No Way Home figure that features Peter Parker in a new black and gold costume. There's a hint of red to remind you that this is a Spider-Man underneath all that gold, but it's an otherwise massive departure from the costumes that actor Tom Holland has worn since he took up the mantle of the web-slinger in 2016. As a Hot Toys figure, this particular collectible has an astonishing amount of detail that shows off a mixture of science and sorcery, with Spider-Man's costume looking magically enhanced and capable of firing off mystic web-blasts that look very much like one of Doctor Strange's signature spells. On the suit are layers of circuitry and golden webbing that would make Iron Man proud. There's also a decent number of extras available with the figure, such as spare eyes to create different masked facial expressions, spare webbing to recreate some dynamic scenes, a themed base, and a head sculpt of Holland if you feel like taking his mask off.Continue Reading at GameSpot

Ninja Gaiden: Master Collection Gets Graphics Settings In-Game On PC A Month After Launch

The Ninja Gaiden: Master Collection on PC now offers the ability to change graphical options in-game, one month after the collection was released. PC players were upset at the "barebones" PC port of the collection of Ninja Gaiden Sigma, Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2, and Ninja Gaiden 3: Razer's Edge because it lacked a number of features typically found in PC games, like the ability to change the resolution in-game. Version 1.0.0.2 adds a number of options to the in-game menu: display mode, resolution, V-Sync, triple buffering, anti-aliasing, depth of field, and display shadows. Some of the options previously existed, like resolution, however it could only be changed in the game's properties in the Steam library. While this update does add a number of features that were missing from the initial release, it does not offer a fix for all of them. Notably, Ninja Gaiden Sigma still does not offer mouse and keyboard support, only being playable with a controller. While at the time of launch a representative for Koei Tecmo said the company has "no comment to offer" on these concerns, it appears that the company is aware of the issues players have with the PC version and are fixing some of them. Koei Tecmo and developer Team Ninja have not publicly said when--or if--more updates will be released for the PC version.Continue Reading at GameSpot

Nier: Automata Steam Patch Finally Fixes Its Biggest Issues This Week

More than four years after it was originally released on PC, Nier: Automata's Steam version is finally getting a new update this week that aims to fix its core problems. These issues have previously required a user-made mod to bring the game up to par with the console versions, but that will, hopefully, no longer be the case. An update will address most of these on July 15. In a post on the game's official Steam page on July 13, the development team listed the changes coming in the update, which you can read in full at the end of this article. They include new anti-aliasing, borderless video settings, HDR support, 4K textures for the UI, 60fps cutscenes, global illumination, ambient occlusion, and a stabilized frame rate. The PC version wasn't completely broken before, but frame rate and video issues made it a much less enjoyable game compared to the one on PS4 and Xbox One. And given the focus on story in the Nier games, unstable frame rate or other visual problems during cutscenes or other key moments could lessen their impact.Continue Reading at GameSpot

MCU Phase 4: Will Black Widow's Red Guardian Fight The New Captain America?

One of the most interesting tidbits in Black Widow, the long-awaited standalone movie for Scarlett Johansson's NatashaRomanoff, was the Red Guardian's assertion that he faced off with Captain America back in his prime. The Red Guardian, played by Stranger Things' David Harbour, was active in the '80s, when Natasha was a child, before being imprisoned in a remote Russian gulag sometime between then and the MCU's present. Yet he claims in the movie that he and Captain America operated as contemporaries, rivals in the geopolitical conflicts of the era. Whether his stories have any truth to them is up for debate. On one hand, it's easy to assume he's just being a blowhard, simply due to how the character generally behaves. On the other, it's strange that he would earnestly ask Natasha whether Steve ever mentioned him if he knew they'd never actually met. Harbour told Inverse that the stories are true, but the site also suggests he may have been speaking somewhat sarcastically. Is it even possible that Red Guardian (real name Alexei Shostakov) and Captain America fought? After all, following World War II, Steve Rogers was frozen in ice for decades. Then again, thanks to The Falcon and the Winter Soldier, we know there were other American supersoldiers in the intervening years. Maybe Alexei fought a different Captain America? Or maybe he fought the Syeve Rogers who went back in time during Avengers: Endgame, decades of whose life remain unaccounted for in the MCU?Continue Reading at GameSpot

Huge What the Golf Update Launches One Week Early On Switch

Delays are par for the course in video games, but developer Triband has decided to buck that trend by accidentally rolling out a massive new Switch update for What the Golf a few days early. The game--which turns the entire idea of golf on its head by going beyond 18 holes with the sport into weird and wild directions--now has three additional packs of content available that were previously released on the Steam and Apple Arcade versions. This includes the Sporty Sports Pack, It's Snowtime Pack, and a Challenge mode, each one including the following content: Sporty SportsContinue Reading at GameSpot

Hideo Kojima Doesn't Want You To Call It A Death Stranding Director's Cut

Death Stranding's Director's Cut is on the way, but Kojima himself is not a fan of calling it that. He said on Twitter that Director's Cut often applies more appropriately in the world of film to represent content that was cut from a movie due in part to a movie studio's control over the production. But with Death Stranding's Director's Cut, Kojima pointed out that the game will feature new content not originally even planned for the base game. "A director's cut in a movie is an additional edit to a shortened version that was either released reluctantly because the director did not have the right to edit it, or because the running time had to be shortened," Kojima said. "In the game, it is not what was cut, but what was additionally produced that was included. Delector's Plus? So, in my opinion, I don't like to call 'director's cut.'" 2/2 In the game, it is not what was cut, but what was additionally produced that was included. Delector's Plus? So, in my opinion, I don't like to call "director's cut". — HIDEO_KOJIMA (@HIDEO_KOJIMA_EN) July 12, 2021 Given Kojima's commentary here, it sounds like the decision to call it a director's cut for Death Stranding was a decision made by Sony and not Kojima and his team. For what it's worth, Sony is also releasing a Ghost of Tsushima Director's Cut in August, and beyond that, Sony might have plans for additional ones.Continue Reading at GameSpot

Titanfall Only Has 1-2 People Working On It Currently

Respawn Entertainment’s Apex Legends was recently targeted by hackers who were looking to bring awareness to the current state of the developer's Titanfall games. While Apex Legends quickly resolved its server issues, Titanfall still remains vulnerable as Respawn has only tasked one to two of its employees with maintenance on the game. Respawn's first franchise has been almost unplayable for a long time as unpatched security vulnerabilities are taken advantage of with distributed denial of service attacks that prevent players from joining games. In a video update spotted by MP1st, community coordinator Jason Garza explained the current situation while assuring fans that the Titanfall community had not been forgotten. "All I can say is that we're working on it (Titanfall), and that's why I stopped talking about things like that," Garza said. "The Titanfall community is not forgotten or abandoned or anything like that. We're still working on it, it's just we can't telegraph our moves, and we only have like one or two people on it because the rest, everybody else is on Apex Legends, so don't feel bad. It's something we do work on just that these things take time, you can't just press a button and everything's fixed magically."Continue Reading at GameSpot

FFXIV Endwalker Gameplay Benchmark Shows Off New Content From The Expansion

If you want a bigger tease for what's to come in Final Fantasy XIV: Endwalker, the upcoming expansion to the critically acclaimed MMORPG, you got one through the newly revealed PC benchmark sequence. During the latest Live Letter from the Producer, Square Enix showed off the benchmark which contains snippets from new zones and battles from Endwalker and have some story implications for the expansion. The benchmark will be made available to PC users on July 11. You can watch it in the video below. The benchmark sequence shows battles between tempered beasts and Garlean Empire soldiers on a snowy field with the Warrior of Light intervening. It then takes you through the new major hub area of Old Sharlayan with Alphinaud wondering about before meeting with the Warrior of Light. Things kick up with a major battle in the ruins of Garlemald between many tempered beasts and an alliance of familiar faces like the main characters from Scions of the Seventh Dawn and the leaders of FFXIV's various regions. You then get a taste of the new, colorful open zones of Thavnair as various flying mounts head towards one of those ominous towers that appeared in the patch 5.5 story quests. The benchmark concludes with a major battle against longtime villain Zenos yae Galvus with Alphinaud and Alisaie by the Warrior of Light's side, which also shows off some skills from the new Reaper and Sage jobs. Of course, FFXIV benchmark sequences aren't always entirely indicative of what's happening in the story--the Shadowbringers benchmark setup scenarios to simply test your PCs capabilities rather than showing off actual in-game events. However, these are accurate representations of the new regions and zones coming in Endwalker, and a tease of what kinds of battles we could be fighting in the expansion.Continue Reading at GameSpot

Genshin Impact Update 2.0 Travels To Inazuma On July 21, Adds Cross-Saves

Developer MiHoYo has revealed more details on the next substantial update for Genshin Impact, which will launch on July 21, 2021. Titled The Immovable God and the Eternal Euthymia, players will be able to explore the new region of Inazuma and travel across a landscape where the weather changes quickly and drastically. Cross-save support is also on the way as part of the update. The lightning-themed Inazuma area consists of six main islands and a series of islets, with locations such as the Grand Narukami Shrine and Sacred Sakura on the mountain of Narukami Island scattered across the area. It's worth noting that for now only three of the six main islands of Inazuma will be accessible, but MiHoYo added that the available content will have a wealth of stories and secrets to uncover. It's not all purple skies and sunshine though, as the islands are home to wandering samurais and even a new branch of the Fatui. New boss enemies will be added to the map for Travelers to challenge and obtain more rewards from them, while the Hypostasis family will see a new Pyro member joining. Having originally debuted in Genshin Impact Version 1.6, Maguu Kenki will also be found as a World Boss and a source for Character Level-Up Materials in Inazuma.Continue Reading at GameSpot

Marvel's "What If" Releases August 11, New Trailer Shows Starlord T'Challa, Captain Britain, And More

The first trailer for Marvel's What If....? has been released. The animated show hits Disney+ on August 11. The series dives into various Marvel multiverses and the many possibilities for its characters beyond what has happened in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. The trailer opens with a familiar scene of Tony Stark from the first Iron Man movie, but the sudden appearance of Black Panther's Eric Killmonger quickly reveals that this isn't the MCU as we know it. From there we see familiar characters such as Dr. Strange, Spider-Man, and Thor mixing with Howard the Duck and Captain Britain--who, in this case, is the alias of Captain Peggy Carter.
