NBA Star Accused Of Cheating At Wordle

NBA Star Accused Of Cheating At Wordle

Considering how popular Wordle is at the moment, it can be tempting to cheat a little when it comes to posting your results to social media with the game's trademark emoji grid. NBA star Karl-Anthony Towns has been accused of doing just that, after eagle-eyed fans noticed that something in his daily Wordle post didn't add up. Wordle 237 3/6 🟩⬜⬜🟩🟩 🟩🟨⬜🟩🟩 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 Morning 🌎! How ya do today??? — Karl-Anthony Towns (@KarlTowns) February 11, 2022 The Timberwolves player posted a cheery morning Wordle result showing a successful answer in just three tries--on a word that many players struggled with. In the replies, fans soon pointed out that, with the Wordle 237 answer being "ULCER," Towns' second guess just didn't fit, as no existing word contains the combination "UC_ER." After accusations of cheating flooded Towns' replies, the NBA player soon had to post a follow-up proving that he was playing the game as intended, including a video of the actual guesses he used--usually a big no-no for Wordle fans, but required in this case to clear his name.Continue Reading at GameSpot

Review Roundup For Horizon Forbidden West--Here's What The Critics Think

Review Roundup For Horizon Forbidden West--Here's What The Critics Think

Sony's first major release of 2022 is Horizon Forbidden West, and it's launching this week on PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5. But what do the critics think of Guerrilla's long-awaited sequel? Ahead of launch on February 18, reviews for the PlayStation-exclusive have begun to appear online. Here at GameSpot, our Forbidden West review scored the game an 8/10. Reviewer Phil Hornshaw said, "Horizon Forbidden West does a lot more right than it does wrong. It might be jam-packed with stuff to see, do, know, and remember, but when its many systems come together, it can be a beautiful, exciting, and delightful open-world experience." Forbidden West picks up after the events of 2017's Zero Dawn, which was a massive success with more than 20 million copies sold and 1 billion hours played. Sony is looking to expand the series even further still, with a PlayStation VR 2 game Call of the Mountain in the works for Sony's next-gen VR platform.Continue Reading at GameSpot

Wordle Bans Some Offensive Words After The New York Times Takeover

Wordle Bans Some Offensive Words After The New York Times Takeover

Now that The New York Times has acquired Wordle, some changes have been made to the hit word-guessing game. The most obvious tweak to the viral sensation is that some offensive language has been banned as guess words, which includes the usual salty language and gender-specific slurs. If you attempt to use those words, you'll be greeted by Wordle's "not in word list" message. The move makes sense for a publication such as The New York Times, as Wordle's lack of profanity lines up with the company's other popular word game, Spelling Bee. "Offensive words will always be omitted from consideration," a New York Times representative explained Polygon. "As we have just started Wordle's transition to The Times website, we are still in the process of removing those words from the gameplay."Continue Reading at GameSpot

It's the most wonderful time of the year. No, not Christmas, it's the Super Bowl!

Each year, companies spend massive amounts of money to put their best promotional foot forward with a slew of interesting Super Bowl commercials.

The First Teaser Trailer For Lord Of The Rings: Rings Of Power Has Debuted During The Super Bowl

The First Teaser Trailer For Lord Of The Rings: Rings Of Power Has Debuted During The Super Bowl

The first teaser trailer for Amazon Prime's upcoming Lord of the Rings TV show, Rings of Power, has arrived. In the minute-long TV spot which first debuted during the Super Bowl, we get our very first look at some new and familiar faces in Middle-earth during the Second Age, a glimpse at the world's sweeping scenery, and of course, no shortage of action. Take a look at the trailer now. Though the spot takes us through different corners of Middle-earth, the most notable might in fact be Numenor, an island realm that was at the height of its power during the Second Age. Home of human kings (many of whom were the recipients of Sauron's rings, some of whom went on to be corrupted into shadowy Nazgul), the kingdom was a major player before it inevitably fell and sank into the ocean. There are undoubtedly plenty of stories to tell here--both newly invented for the show and outlined within Tolkein's canon--so it's something to keep an eye on as the promotional efforts for Rings of Power continue to ramp up.Continue Reading at GameSpot

Jordan Peele's Nope Trailer Debuts Before Super Bowl

Jordan Peele's Nope Trailer Debuts Before Super Bowl

Jordan Peele's upcoming horror movie, Nope, has premiered its first trailer on Super Bowl Sunday, showcasing a terrifying threat from the sky. Check out the trailer below. Nope stars Kiki Palmer and Daniel Kaluuya as Jill and James Haywood, owners of the only Black-owned horse training ranch in Hollywood, and while the details of the plot are being kept unsurprisingly secret, we can piece together some clues from the clips in the trailer. It looks like Haywood Ranch is about to be put under siege by a monstrous--possibly extraterrestrial--force. Though it's probably not going to be as simple or as straightforward as little green men or lights in the sky, based on Peele's other work.Continue Reading at GameSpot

Aliens And Robots Can Play Lost Ark, But Only After They Take Over The Planet

Aliens And Robots Can Play Lost Ark, But Only After They Take Over The Planet

Thanks to the success of Lost Ark, publisher Amazon Games' general terms of use have been recirculated, with players noticing one section in particular pertaining to how you must be a human, and not an AI (good or evil) to play the company's games. The terms also explain what would happen if aliens, robots, or simians take over the planet. Really. Section 5.1 of Amazon Games' general terms of use specifically mentions that, "You must be a live human (e.g., not a corporation, organization, artificial intelligence (good or evil), extraterrestrial, sentient non-human primate, etc.)." The terms also state that none of this applies if Earth has been taken or by robots, simians, or aliens. In that event, Amazon said these beings will be allowed to play Lost Ark and other games. "We welcome our alien, robots, ape, or other overlords, as applicable," Amazon said. In the event that Earth is overtaken, and it's decided that everyone moves to Mars--where Amazon's games are not currently offered--Amazon will try to offer its games on other planets or celestial bodies. The whole section is a fun read--check it out below.Continue Reading at GameSpot

Fortnite Uncharted Skins Include Video Game And Movie Versions Of Nathan Drake And Chloe Frazer

Fortnite Uncharted Skins Include Video Game And Movie Versions Of Nathan Drake And Chloe Frazer

Nearly as soon as Epic began teasing an upcoming Uncharted collaboration by sending select content creators treasure maps, the community solved the riddle and revealed the Fortnite Uncharted skins we had been hearing about. If you were wondering whether the skins would be based on the Naughty Dog games or the new movie coming to theaters next week, your best guess is right no matter what. The cosmetics include alternate styles for Nathan Drake and Chloe Frazer that capture both their game and movie likenesses. The Uncharted collaboration launches on February 17 at 4 PM PT / 7 PM ET, while a new in-game item, Drake's Map, will come to the game the following morning. Drake's Map acts like the Chapter 1 treasure maps some players might remember, leading players on a hunt for buried "treasure," which in Fortnite means excellent loot for your inventory. Because the game and movie likenesses for the heroes are different styles, not totally different skins, that means anyone who buys either version of either hero will instantly get access to both of them. There will likely also be a bundle that includes both heroes plus all Uncharted cosmetics. Here's all you can expect in the Item Shop in a few days:Continue Reading at GameSpot

New Free Halo Infinite Skins Look Almost Identical To Halo 5 Max Rank Rewards

New Free Halo Infinite Skins Look Almost Identical To Halo 5 Max Rank Rewards

343 Industries rewarded players who reached the max rank in Halo 5: Guardians with a special batch of skins for Halo Infinite. Fast forward a few months later, and skins that are nearly identical to the rank 152 reward skins are now being given away for free, upsetting some longtime fans. The new, free skins are rewards for watching the North American regional finals of the Halo Championship Series. Players who watch three hours of qualifying streams on Twitch will be rewarded with an Assault Rifle, Battle Rifle, and Sidekick skin. There's also a free victory pose up for grabs. Halo HCS coating vs Rank 152 Halo 5 Guardians Max Rank Bulldog skin pic.twitter.com/dWNIkqvu5l — Mint Blitz (@MintBlitz) February 9, 2022 Free skins are great, but it's easy to see why Halo 5's most dedicated players would be upset. According to Halo content creator Mint Blitz (who made a video on the topic), earning rank 152 in Halo 5 takes thousands of hours. The fact that the free HCS skins take three hours of watching a stream to claim and look incredibly similar to the Halo 5 rank 152 rewards feels disrespectful to Halo 5's most dedicated players.Continue Reading at GameSpot

Call Of Duty: Warzone 2, Modern Warfare 2 Confirmed

Call Of Duty: Warzone 2, Modern Warfare 2 Confirmed

Call of Duty: Warzone 2, the presumed name for a sequel to Call of Duty: Warzone, was announced official on Friday alongside the next mainline game in the series: Modern Warfare 2. The news broke on via social media in the early afternoon, primarily through streamers and other content creators alongside a small blog post from the development team. Activision later officially confirmed the news in a blog post. 2022's new Call of Duty game will be a sequel to 2019's Modern Warfare, which has reportedly sold 30 million copies. This new game and the Warzone sequel have been "designed together from the ground up," Activision said. Both games run on the same brand-new engine, and Infinity Ward is leading the development on Modern Warfare 2 and the Warzone sequel. Very little is known about Warzone 2, but Activision said players can look forward to a "massive evolution" of the battle royale formula. This will include an "all-new playspace" and a new sandbox mode, neither of which were discussed.Continue Reading at GameSpot

Horizon Zero Dawn Story Explained: Recapping What Happened Before Forbidden West

Horizon Zero Dawn Story Explained: Recapping What Happened Before Forbidden West

The story of the Horizon series is full of dense lore, a multitude of important characters, and plenty of earth-shattering revelations. And while the franchise is only really just getting started, we've had more than enough happen just across a single game and its DLC expansion to warrant a story refresher. So with Horizon Forbidden West releasing on February 18, what better time to revisit the story of the franchise so far, from the mysterious Project Zero Dawn all the way through to Aloy's adventures in the Frozen Wilds? This is Horizon's story so far. The setup The Horizon franchise plays out its grand narrative of tribal politics and robot dino-animal-things in the 31st century, in the wake of a cataclysmic robot-apocalypse that has wiped out the majority of humanity. Those who survived have formed tribes and are living their lives largely devoid of the technological advancements of their predecessors. They have some awareness of a more advanced time, and refer to these ancestors as the Old Ones. In Zero Dawn, there are four tribes that populate the world. The Nora are a group of deeply religious warrior-hunters from the south, who worship at the altar of 'All-Mother.' The Carja, who reside in the bustling cities of the central deserts and revere the Sun God. The Oseram are a tribe of practically minded forgemen and women. And the Banuk are a mountain-dwelling tribe of hunters and shaman. The tribes aren't exactly all on friendly terms either: The Carja, in particular, are notorious for raiding their rivals under the leadership of the Mad Sun King, Jiran.Continue Reading at GameSpot

Where Is Xur Today? (Feb. 11-15) - Destiny 2 Xur Location And Exotics Guide

We're quickly running out of Xur visits in Destiny 2 before the launch of The Witch Queen, so if you're looking to get new Exotics and legendary gear from the Agent of the Nine, you'll want to visit him this weekend. Here's where you can find Xur this weekend and what Exotics he's offering.

Xur is present every weekend in Destiny 2, starting with the daily reset at 9 AM PT / 12 PM ET each Friday. His exact location is always a mystery when he first arrives, as he is not listed on the map, and for novice players, he can be easy to miss.

Bungie Details New Exotic Armor Arriving In Destiny 2 The Witch Queen

Bungie Details New Exotic Armor Arriving In Destiny 2 The Witch Queen

Destiny 2's weapons and gear trailer last week gave a quick preview of upcoming Exotics in The Witch Queen expansion, but some items shown in the trailer weren't given a description. The This Week At Bungie post gives a deeper look at the Exotic armor and its perks for Hunters, Warlocks, and Titans--each class will have two new Exotic armor pieces. Hunter Exotic armor The Hunter Exotic helmet, Blight Ranger Helm, comes with the perk Voltaic Mirror, which increases the amount of damage output when an attack is reflected by the Arcstrider's Arc Staff Super. This class is also getting the Renewal Grasps gauntlet which includes the Depths of Duskfield perk. The Stasis Duskfield grenades have a larger radius and reduce "incoming damage for allies within the Duskfield’s range." Warlock Exotic armor The Secant Filaments leg armor for Warlocks has a perk called Devouring Rift that buffs the Empowering Rift "allowing for damage from both allies and individual players the ability to disrupt foes," Bungie said. The Witch Queen ViDoc mentioned that this Exotic has a healing component as well. Warlocks are also getting new gauntlets called Osmiomancy Gauntlets with a perk called Fervid Coldsnap. This armor recharges Stasis Coldsnap grenades, but direct impact recharges it faster--it also has better tracking.Continue Reading at GameSpot

Aya Neo Next Makes An Already Great Handheld Gaming PC Even Better

Aya Neo Next Makes An Already Great Handheld Gaming PC Even Better

The Aya Neo Next, a powerful handheld gaming PC, starts its crowdfunding campaign on February 15. If you've been following the surging handheld PC market, you may have heard of the Aya Neo already. Earlier this year I reviewed the Aya Neo Pro, a device that reached Indiegogo backers' hands just several months back. Although the Aya Neo Pro was and still is quite impressive, I mentioned in my review that a revamped version of the Aya Neo was on the horizon. I've now had a chance to check out the Aya Neo Next ahead of its launch next month, and I can confidently say that if you're interested in the Aya Neo brand, the Next is the version to pick. The Aya Neo Next is more of an iteration on the existing Pro and 2021 models than a brand-new handheld. It still shares the same core DNA, as a Windows handheld PC with an AMD mobile processor and integrated Radeon Vega graphics. If you already have the Aya Neo Pro, upgrading to the Next probably doesn't make much sense. If the Next included a 6000 series processor--instead of the 5000 series--it might be a different story, but as it stands, the Next feels more like the definitive version of the company's initial move into the handheld PC gaming market. It may seem strange that a new Aya handheld is launching just several months after its predecessors, but if you think about it from a PC gaming perspective--where minor component upgrades release regularly--it makes sense. Even though this an iterative upgrade, the Aya Neo Next boasts significant improvements in terms of build and moderate performance improvements.Continue Reading at GameSpot

Cherrim Should Now Be Easier To Catch In Pokemon Legends: Arceus

Cherrim Should Now Be Easier To Catch In Pokemon Legends: Arceus

The first post-launch patch for Pokemon Legends: Arceus has arrived, bringing with it fixes for a number of glitches that have made life difficult for Arceus players. Chief among these: an issue where Cherrim would become uncatchable if it changed forms during a battle has now been fixed. Prior to the 1.0.2 patch, the cute little cherry Pokemon was proving almost impossible to catch, with players on Reddit saying they spent multiple hours on the attempt, with Cherrim breaking out of Ultra Balls even on 1HP. The game's Japanese support page acknowledged the bug prior to the new patch, saying that Cherrim couldn't be caught if it transformed even once during a battle. Other updates include a fix for an issue where, during offline play, the screen would freeze if players tried to pick up a lost satchel after throwing a ball containing a Pokemon. Another fix stops players from obtaining duplicates of a Pokemon that was only intended to appear once.Continue Reading at GameSpot

New World Valentine's Day Cosmetics Removed Following Server-Crashing Bug

New World Valentine's Day Cosmetics Removed Following Server-Crashing Bug

Amazon Games' MMORPG New World is no stranger to game-breaking issues, but few could have expected seemingly innocuous Valentine's Day cosmetics to be the cause of a serious server-crashing bug. It was just a few hours after various Valentine's Day-themed cosmetics went on sale yesterday in New World that Amazon removed the cosmetics from the store, much to the confusion of players. As it turns out, the skins had a potential bug that could cause server crashes, though Amazon states that players who did manage to purchase the skins should still be able to use them. The cosmetics will return to the store once a fix has been found. We disabled the Corrupted Love Pack skins and the new Angels and Demons skins in the store to investigate a bug where the skins were causing a server crash. We will update this thread once we have more information! — New World (@playnewworld) February 9, 2022 This isn't the first serious bug to hit New World and likely won't be the last. In the few months since the game's September 2021 launch, Amazon has disabled the game's entire player-driven economy multiple times to investigate and fix various item and coin duplication bugs, had to address a bug that made players straight-up invincible, find a fix for time-traveling servers that were wreaking havoc on server economies and settlements, and more. While most of these major issues were fixed quickly, it's unfortunately been a common theme anytime New World releases a new update.Continue Reading at GameSpot

The Crunchyroll Anime Awards results are in. Attack on Titan Final Season Part 1 ultimately took Anime of the Year--likely to little surprise.

Lost Ark Tips For Beginners: How To Hit The Ground Running In Arkesia

Lost Ark Tips For Beginners: How To Hit The Ground Running In Arkesia

After years of only being playable in regions like Asia and Russia, Smilegate RPG's Lost Ark is finally available in North America and Europe courtesy of Amazon. The free-to-play, top-down MMORPG is filled to the brim with things to see and do, and if you're diving in for the first time with no prior knowledge, the world of Arkesia can be more than a little intimidating. The good news is that much of Lost Ark is only complicated at first glance. Spend some time with the game and its various systems and before long things will start to fall into place. Many of the different activities and much of the optional content can be safely ignored (or at least put off until reaching the endgame), meaning new players can simply pick their class of choice and quickly embark on the game's main story quest to find the titular lost ark. Here's a few tips to keep in mind over the course of the game's first two dozen hours as you work your way towards max level and Lost Ark's endgame content. Don't Skip the Prologue (At Least On Your First Character) If you are brand new to Lost Ark and have just made your first character, don't skip the prologue. It will introduce a number of Lost Ark's basic systems while also laying the groundwork for the game's core story. While action-RPG players will no doubt be familiar with many of the gameplay elements Lost Ark introduces here, it's still worth doing, especially since it only lasts about 30 minutes. That being said, feel free to skip it on subsequent characters.Continue Reading at GameSpot

Dying Light 2 Infected Trophies: What Are They And Best Farming Strategy

Dying Light 2 Infected Trophies: What Are They And Best Farming Strategy

In Dying Light 2, you'll need plenty of Infected Trophies on hand in order to craft some of the game's best mods. Really, Infected Trophies are so commonly used in crafting recipes that you'll need to have a bunch almost no matter the items you're trying to craft. Here's what you need to know about these "trophies" scattered across the world of Villedor. Dying Light 2 Infected Trophies Infected Trophies aren't the sort of hardware you'd hang on your mantle at home. They're much more grotesque than that. Though it's never quite clear precisely what they are, one gross clue is that they're only able to be scavenged from the dead bodies of special infected. Ears? Fingers? It's probably best we don't know for sure. Anyway, you'll need plenty of these in order to upgrade items and blueprints, such as health kits, lockpicks, and throwables. Upgrading these items regularly allows Aiden's tools to improve as he does. Even if you have great gear and plenty of HP from finding Inhibitors, a lowly base-level health kit isn't going to save you when you're in a bind against some tough bosses and enemies later in the game.Continue Reading at GameSpot

Super Bowl 56 Winner Predicted By Madden 22

Super Bowl 56 Winner Predicted By Madden 22

As it does each year, EA Sports has released the results of its Madden Super Bowl simulation, and this year, the professional football game believes the Cincinnati Bengals will upset the Los Angeles Rams in a wild and exciting game that comes down to the final play. According to the simulation, the Bengals will trail the Rams at halftime by a score of 14-7 before Bengals corner Eli Apple picks off Rams QB Matthew Stafford for a pick-six to tie the game with the extra point. Bengals QB Joe Burrow then connects with Tee Higgins in the fourth quarter to give the Bengals the edge, until Stafford finds Odell Beckham Jr. for a touchdown to tie the game once again. To end the game, Burrow and the Bengals move the ball down the field far enough to give kicker Evan McPherson a chance to win the game--and he doesn't miss. The Bengals win by a score of 24-21 and Burrow becomes the first QB to with the Heisman, College Football National Championship, and the Super Bowl, at least if this all comes to fruition.Continue Reading at GameSpot

Tom Holland And Neil Druckmann Talk About Adapting Uncharted For Film

Naughty Dog's Neil Druckmann and movie star Tom Holland have discussed the upcoming Uncharted movie, which opens in theaters on February 18. In an interview published on social media, Holland said one of the biggest challenges in making the movie was making it feel heartfelt. "When we were making it into a film, the game is already so cinematic. We had a base layer for how we wanted the film to look. The hardest thing to try to recreate was the heart of the games," he said.

Druckmann also spoke about how he is a big fan of how the film tells an origin story for Drake, picking up when he's a bartender. Drake has an itch to go on adventures and realize his destiny, and when Sully (Mark Wahlberg) shows up and presents him with an opportunity, he has no choice but to embrace adventure and start a new life, Holland said.Continue Reading at GameSpot

Top 10 Best-Selling Games On Steam Last Week

Top 10 Best-Selling Games On Steam Last Week

The best-selling games of the past week on Steam have been announced, and Dying Light 2 dominated the charts. In the fifth week of 2022, Dying Light 2 held the top three positions, and held six of the top 10 spots overall. That's possible due to the game's various editions, all of which are selling well, it seems. Outside of Dying Light 2, Lost Ark Platinum Founder's Pack landed at No. 4, with preorders for Elden Ring coming in at No. 6. It Takes Two ended the week as the eighth best-selling game, while Total War: Warhammer III preorders finished tenth. The lists are based on revenue, not unit sales. To put Dying Light 2's launch on PC into context, it reached a peak concurrent record of more than 274,000, which is higher than what Halo Infinite was able to achieve--and that game was free (for multiplayer).

Pokemon Legends: Arceus: Alpha Pokemon Explained

Pokemon Legends: Arceus: Alpha Pokemon Explained

Pokemon come in many shapes and sizes, especially in Pokemon Legends: Arceus. This open-world Pokemon spinoff incorporates a variety of Pokemon ranging from teeny-tiny to elephantine. Alpha Pokemon just happen to be the largest of them all, and the game recognizes them as such with the special name. Naturally, because alphas are new to the series, even long-time fans have plenty of questions. Here are the basics of what you need to know about alphas in Pokemon Legends: Arceus. What are Alpha Pokemon? A domesticated alpha Floatzel cries out in might Alpha Pokemon are the largest possible Pokemon in the game for their respective species. Just in case you don't realize it, they remind you with their unique traits and looks; they're red-eyed, aggressive creatures that attack you on sight. Thankfully, they lose that aggression and their eyes fade to a normal color once you catch them. Where to find alpha Pokemon An alpha Shinx ponders its next move from faraway There's at least one alpha Pokemon in each region. However, not all of them will appear at once. For example, alpha Floatzel appears across the bridge in the Obsidian Lands, which you can cross after receiving your first star.

The Best (And Worst) Part Of Each Sims Game

The Best (And Worst) Part Of Each Sims Game

There aren't many series that can claim to have created an entire language, and even fewer that can proudly state they got Katy Perry, Carly Rae Jepsen, and My Chemical Romance to sing some of their most iconic songs in it. But then again, there also aren't too many series like The Sims. First released 22 years ago today, The Sims is one of the most iconic video game franchises of all time and for good reason. Not only did the simulation game revolutionize the genre upon its release and act as a major entry-point into games for so many, the series keeps improving upon it, and remains one of the most inclusive and inviting gaming experiences around. However, while many of The Sims' innovative changes seen throughout the series' 22-year run have been winners, we can't deny there's been a few duds in there as well--such is the cost you pay when constantly reimagining one of gaming's most beloved series. So, here's a list of all the features we simply can't get enough of, as well as the parts we've been glad to see go.The Sims The Sims The best part? Its progressiveness.Continue Reading at GameSpot

Earlier today, Microsoft announced its intended acquisition of Activision Blizzard for a total of almost $70 billion, making it the biggest acquisition in gaming history if the sale goes through.

The official announcement of the acquisition said that "Bobby Kotick will continue to serve as CEO of Activision Blizzard," though insider reports have suggested Kotick will leave the company once the deal goes through.

New On Disney Plus February 2022: Free Guy, The Book Of Boba Fett Finale, And More

January's already half behind us, and there's half in front of us. Disney+ is already doing its part to make what's ahead worth looking forward to. Disney+ has announced its full set of movies, shows, and other original content for next month--here's what you can expect to watch on the streaming service in February. Arguably the biggest content coming on Disney+ is the The Book of Boba Fett's finale, airing February 9. The synopsis for the series is as follows: "The legendary bounty hunter Boba Fett and mercenary Fennec Shand navigat[e] the galaxy’s underworld when they return to the sands of Tatooine to stake their claim on the territory once ruled by Jabba the Hutt and his crime syndicate." On February 23, the video-game movie Free Guy will be coming to Disney+. Free Guy, which was favorably received by fans and critics alike, stars Ryan Reynolds in what's essentially The Truman Show set in an open-world video game loosely inspired by Grand Theft Auto and Fortnite. Reynolds stars as a non-player character, a bank teller, who becomes self-aware and determined to become the game's hero--which wreaks all kinds of havoc and glitching with the game's programming. The film also stars Jodie Comer, Lil Rel Howery, Joe Keery, Utkarsh Ambudkar, and Taika Waititi. Before release, there were already plans for an ambitious sequel.Continue Reading at GameSpot

Netflix Releases Official Teaser For Vikings: Valhalla

Netflix Releases Official Teaser For Vikings: Valhalla

Netflix has released an official teaser for Vikings: Valhalla, the highly-anticipated spin-off of the historical drama Vikings. The series will kick off on the streaming service on February 25, with eight one-hour episodes. Set a century after the original series, Vikings: Valhalla--as the name suggests--looks to chronicle the decline of Viking culture, many years after Ragnar Lothbrok (Travis Fimmel) first set out to conquer the lands beyond the seas in its predecessor. The Vikings, of course, won't be giving up without a bloody fight, and this clip showcases battles against the English empire. Check it out below. An official synopsis for the spin-off is as follows: "Set over a thousand years ago in the early 11th century, Vikings: Valhalla chronicles the heroic adventures of some of the most famous Vikings who ever lived — the legendary explorer Leif Eriksson (Sam Corlett), his fiery and headstrong sister Freydis Eriksdotter (Frida Gustavsson), and the ambitious Nordic prince Harald Sigurdsson (Leo Suter). As tensions between the Vikings and the English royals reach a bloody breaking point and as the Vikings themselves clash over their conflicting Christian and pagan beliefs, these three Vikings begin an epic journey that will take them across oceans and through battlefields, from Kattegat to England and beyond, as they fight for survival and glory."Continue Reading at GameSpot

Twitter Thread Highlights How Complex Game Development Is

Twitter Thread Highlights How Complex Game Development Is

As more companies look for ways to try and implement blockchain technology into video games, many NFT advocates have imagined a system where gamers can buy an asset like a skin or an item in one game, and transfer it endlessly into any other game they play. While some game devs have explained in simple terms why this idea is unfeasible, indie developer Rami Ismail has put together an epic 45-tweet thread on Twitter, running through all the fail points a system like this would encounter. Ismail, who was one half of indie studio Vlambeer and created games like Nuclear Throne, Serious Sam: The Random Encounter, and Ridiculous Fishing, started the thread with a relatively simple proposition: "Let's imagine making dice in a game." Let's imagine making dice in a game. — Rami Ismail (رامي) (@tha_rami) January 10, 2022 The thread goes over all the different elements involved in creating something as simple as a six-sided die--not just the physical asset and its texture, but also the animation involved in rolling the dice, the surface the dice are being rolled on, the simulated gravity and force that will cause the dice to fall in a realistic way.Continue Reading at GameSpot

Reddit Co-Founder Says Play-To-Earn Crypto Games Will Be 90% Of Gaming Market In 5 Years

Reddit co-founder Alexis Ohanian is the latest industry figure to express excitement about the concept of play to earn games. The serial entrepreneur, who has now turned his attention mainly to blockchain and crypto-related projects, is optimistic about the promise of play to earn, predicting that it will dominate the gaming world in just a few short years. As reported by Business Insider, Ohanian discussed the potential uses of blockchain tech in gaming on a recent episode of the Where It Happens podcast. "90% of people will not play a game unless they are being properly valued for that time," Ohanian claimed in the podcast. "In five years, you will actually value your time properly, and instead of being harvested for advertisements, or being fleeced for dollars to buy stupid hammers you don't actually own, you will be playing some on-chain equivalent game that will be just as fun, but you'll actually earn value and you will be the harvester."Continue Reading at GameSpot
