This week Bungie released its promised Destiny 2 “State of the Game” blog, which detailed several updates planned for the game throughout December and early 2018. One of the major additions planned for the December 12th patch, which follows up the initial December 5th patch and release of the Curse of Osiris expansion, is a new “Masterwork” tier of weapons. Masterworks will expand on and empower Legendary weapons with new perks....
Destiny 2 players were outraged recently when it emerged that the game’s progression system has a cooldown that limits XP from quick activities. Bungie outlined several changes to progression and most Destiny 2 players appreciated that their concerns had been taken into account, even if the tweaks were a bit confusing. But it looks as though the saga of the Destiny 2 progression system is not over just yet. Fans of the game recently spotted a Bungie job listing for a ‘senior progression designer’ and the requirements of the role could have huge implications for the future of Destiny 2....
Fans of Codemasters’ racing simulators already have Dirt 5 to look forward to later on in the year, which is to be released on current and next-gen systems, and the British-based developer/publisher has now secured a new deal to create licensed games based on the WRC: the World Rally Championship. The exclusive deal will see Codemasters create games annually for console, PC, and mobile platforms for five years, with the first title intended for release in 2023....
This article contains major Colossal spoilers. It sits there in front of her, like a taunting monster, every bit as immense and titanic as any kaiju running rampant in downtown Seoul. It’s a glass of beer, alcohol, and temptation itself staring Anne Hathaway’s Gloria in the face like the siren song that murdered so many Grecian sailors in another tale of potent allegory. So does Gloria reach for the drink? Perhaps she could even go on another bender that might end with her sizeable giant monster wreaking greater havoc in her sleepy hometown....
A recent interview details the brief existence of a Final Fantasy XII spin-off project called Fortress, and shows off some images of what could have been. In a recent interview, the developers from the now-defunct Swedish studio Grin reveal that they were to be the first team outside of Japan to produce and develop a Final Fantasy game. The detailed report follows the ups and downs of Grin as they take on the project, called Fortress, which was to be a sequel to Final Fantasy XII and take place in the same setting, revisiting the pseudo-Medieval world of Ivalice....
After so many years at the top of not just gaming, but entertainment culture in general, it’s somewhat refreshing that Halo 5: Guardians actually has a bit of mystery surrounding it. After recent reports brought the question of just how large a role Master Chief would play in the events of the upcoming Xbox One Halo, 343 Industries’ Frank O’Connor has cleared the air, confirming that the Chief is both “the main character” and “the hero....
Now that Control: Ultimate Edition is available everywhere, players are no doubt eager to learn where the best place to play the game with its new enhancements in tow. It’s worth mentioning that Control: Ultimate Edition is free on PS Plus for the month of February, so PlayStation players should be sure to add the game to their libraries while it’s available. However, the Control: Ultimate Edition is now available on the PS5 and the Xbox Series X, which offers a much smoother performance across the board compared to the last generation versions of Control....
It’s been a very long time since fans have seen or heard anything about Microsoft’s first-party exclusive, Crackdown 3. A month following the reveal of Terry Crews at E3, Microsoft delayed the open world game due to quality concerns, where it has been ever since flying well under the radar. Nearly a year later, it appears that Crackdown 3 is at the very tail end of the development process with a recent listing indicating that the game could be releasing a lot sooner than people think....
Hunt: Showdown continues to evolve and see content, features, and game improvements added to the title. There are some huge changes coming to Hunt: Showdown in 2021, including a new map, an apparent crow boss, and much more. But those will likely be a bit further down the road. First, Crytek is hinting at a brand new weapon. Hunt: Showdown is a very unique online multiplayer experience. The Louisiana bayou and late 1800s horror setting is spooky enough, but the monstrous PVE mix with PVP battles creates an atmosphere of extremely tense moments....
While Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales has its own weird shapeshifting bug that turns its protagonist into a brick, a trash can, or even a street light, Cyberpunk 2077 has thrown its hat into the ring of strange metamorphosis glitches. A Reddit user has posted their experience of their V turning into a vending machine, which has received more than 11k upvotes as of this time of publication. Reddit user DefaultDaddy posted a fourteen-second video of the glitch on the Cyberpunk 2077 subreddit....
Following Mateusz Tomaskiewicz’s resignation, Gabriel Amantengelo is stepping up as game director from his prior role as Cyberpunk 2077’s creative director, a role he took in January 2020. Cyberpunk 2077 has been in a murky place since its launch after being pushed out prematurely, leading to a buggy debut so bad that it was ripped from the PlayStation store. It’s not back on yet. Currently, CDPR is waiting for word from Sony on that front, but it’s still pressing forward with the game’s development....
Cyberpunk 2077 has drawn you in, hasn’t it? If you’re this deep into our guide content and still digging through for more, then you’re certainly enamoured by Night City, and we’re here to help you find all of the secrets it has to offer. This quest has an unusual list of requirements to get it started, but once you’ve begun, Killing In The Name has a great flow to it....
Cyberpunk 2077 is one of the year’s highest-rated and most hotly-anticipated games, with millions of people likely to begin their Night City adventures once it launches on December 10. However, individuals with epilepsy may want to exercise some caution, as Cyberpunk 2077 reportedly has some epileptic triggers that could potentially cause them to have a seizure. This is according to Game Informer editor Liana Ruppert, who published a PSA about the potential Cyberpunk 2077 epileptic seizures....
CDPR has deployed Patch 1.23 for Cyberpunk 2077 across all platforms. Most likely, this version will be the one that PS players see in a few more days, as the title is finally returning to PlayStation Store on June 21. Update 1.23 is already live across PC, Xbox consoles, and Stadia, with full patch notes available on the official Cyberpunk 2077 website. Most importantly, several critical errors with quests were fixed, so your progress will no longer be randomly halted by an errant bug....
The term ‘cyberpunk’ was coined by Bruce Bethke’s short story of the same name, but the genre took roots with Katsuhiro Otomo’s manga Akira and its subsequent film adaptation in the 80s. Naturally, Cyberpunk 2077 paid homage to this now-beloved classic with the inclusion of its iconic motorcycle. In-game, the bike is called the Kusanagi CT-3X and it’s one of the purchasable vehicles that you can summon at any time. When your street cred hits 12, the fixer Wakako Okada will contact you to tell you that the bike is up for sale....
As one of the most anticipated games of a year, fans have a lot to look forward to with Cyberpunk 2077. The game is CD Projekt Red’s most ambitious project yet, which says a lot coming from the developer of The Witcher 3. And while players may be tempted to go on violent rampages throughout Night City, they may not want to after getting invested in the game. Speaking to PCGamesN, Cyberpunk 2077 Level Designer Max Pears stated that players did sometimes default to violent behavior, otherwise known as “GTA Mode,” but they may not be tempted to after realizing how many options they have in the game....
According to CD Projekt Red, Cyberpunk 2077 will not be an Epic Game Store exclusive title. Last December, Epic Games made a big splash by announcing the Epic Games Store, a digital storefront that would compete with longtime PC game retailer, Steam. For the longest time, Steam had a deadlock on the PC games market. Despite taking a 30% cut to do little more than provide a bulletproof app to find and purchase games (and also a server farm to make getting those games quick and easy) Steam was the unchanging, immovable edifice of PC gaming....
Cyberpunk 2077 has been a highly anticipated game for fans and critics alike, with every delay being just a bit more painful for excited gamers. The latest pushback for Cyberpunk 2077 was only a 21-day change, but the new release date has had an unfortunate impact on the game’s consideration for The Game Awards 2020. The latest Cyberpunk 2077 delay came out of nowhere and shocked just about everyone given how close the game was to launch day....
Races and classes have been the central aspects of character creation since the beginning of Dungeons & Dragons – well, not quite the beginning, since Elf used to be a class in original D&D. However, based on a twitter thread by D&D’s Jeremy Crawford, it looks like Wizards of the Coast will be moving toward less drastic racial mechanics, especially in regard to races traditionally considered “monster races.” Crawford pointed out the differences between the orcs found in Volo’s Guide to Monsters and those found in the Exandria and Eberron settings, saying that the latter reflects the direction that the D&D team is headed in regard to monsters....
Back in season 4 of Destiny 2, Bungie placed the PvP activity Trials of the Nine on the backburner, as the company tried to find a better way to implement the flawed but fan-favorite feature. It has recently been revealed that the company doesn’t have anything definitive to bring to the table concerning the feature yet, but it knows that a new version of Trials of the Nine will not be Destiny 1’s Trials of Osiris....
