The release of Call of Duty: Warzone, a free-to-play version of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare, has been mainly centered around the game’s battle royale mode. However, the title also has another mode, Plunder, which is the unsung hero of Warzone. Here’s everything you need to know about the unique mode that you have to try. The Basics Plunder is a 102 player match, with participants being broken into 34 squads of three....
Warner Bros. Discovery has a new strategy: focus on franchises and intellectual property (IP). We admit that hearing that vision said aloud by Warner Bros. Discovery CEO David Zaslav, who spoke yesterday to shareholders during a Q3 earnings call, reads a bit like an Onion headline. What have Hollywood studios, including Warners, been doing over the past decade if not emphasizing “a real focus on franchises,” as Zaslav says? A little over a 10 years ago, Disney’s live-action division was considered to be in trouble due to its inability to launch a new popular IP like they had with Pirates of the Caribbean at the beginning of the 2000s....
Ring of Pain is a quirky-looking roguelike card crawler developed by Simon Boxer and Twice Different, published by Humble Games, to be released this Thursday, October 15. The best part of this turn-based adventure has to be the dash of The Creeps which has been thrown into the mix. The artwork integrated into the game looks really great, combining genuinely disturbing imagery of grossly disfigured and mutated creatures with some weirdly cute components too....
Hello Critters, “it’s been awhile!” In this week’s episode of Critical Role, the cast returns to the table for the first time since quarantine for the 100th episode of the campaign. Despite it being pre-recorded, viewership peaked at over 112,000 viewers for this episode. This episode features a lot of rustiness from the cast after 3 months of the show being on hiatus, but has some great moments nonetheless. The best moments of this milestone Dungeons & Dragons episode include a nice message from Sam, dragon turtle polymorphing, water skiing, an eye rave, and an encounter with an interesting new character....
Today was supposed to be the official reveal of Crysis Remastered gameplay footage, but the internet has a funny way of spoiling the fun. Either because of an accidental page going live early or some in-depth sleuthing from internet detectives, a Microsoft Store page for Crysis Remastered was spotted yesterday and it contained a whole bunch of information on the new port. We had not only the download size and screenshots but a full trailer that didn’t appear to be substantially different from the original release....
Players can already expect a huge range of characters in CD Projekt Red’s hotly anticipated Cyberpunk 2077, ranging from the street gangs of Night City to the ruthless executives giving a whole new meaning to the phrase hostile takeover. Big stars have announced their involvement in Cyberpunk 2077 from Keanu Reeves’ as series mainstay Johnny Silverhand to Grimes’ recently announced Cyberpunk character, suicidal starlet Lizzy Wizzy. The gameplay demo, however, has left some players with a burning question: who is Meredith Stout?...
Fans of CD Projekt Red have been waiting a long time for the release of Cyberpunk 2077. And then when they thought the open-world game would be launching soon, they waited some more. This time, it looks like Cyberpunk 2077 really will meet its launch date, but fans will have a new problem to wrestle with. In addition to being patient, CD Projekt Red fans will to avoid Cyberpunk 2077 discourse online, as etail copies of Cyberpunk 2077 have leaked early and spoilers are already being shared online....
CD Projekt Red’s Cyberpunk 2077 has lost players three times faster than The Witcher 3 did after it launched in 2015, showing a steep 79 percent decline in concurrent activity since its release in December. The game, certainly one of the most anticipated of 2020, has been pretty disappointing - the multiple delays are understandable now given how badly things have turned out. The initial release was so bugged, fans waiting eagerly on GTA 6 have urged Rockstar to take its time based on the regrettable performance Cyberpunk 2077 has put on display....
The Cyberpunk 2077 achievement/trophy list has been leaked, and it has a fun easter egg for fans. For those who were thrilled to find out that Keanu Reeves will be in Cyberpunk 2077, the breathtaking achievement/trophy will be exciting. The leaked achievements/trophies for Cyberpunk 2077 include tasks like asking players to collect all gigs NCPD scanners, to craft 3 Legendary items, buy a vehicle, or kill hundreds of enemies with specific weapon types....
As widely venerated as David Cage’s Heavy Rain became when it released in 2011, not all of its frequent attempts at turning The Smaller Things in Life into compelling interactive entertainment were created equal. Be it tooth brushing, shaving or dressing wounds, repetitive tasks that were designed to immerse gamers into the life of protagonist Ethan Mars were received by some as transcendent, by others tedious. Fortunately for the latter party, it won’t be happening again in Beyond: Two Souls....
Gamers may know all too well that escaping a trial as a survivor in Behaviour Interactive’s Dead By Daylight is a lot easier said than done, especially when the game is notorious for having a slight imbalance towards the Killers when it comes to perks and add-ons. Survivors are expected to do a lot in a trial at any given time. Not only are they expected to complete all five generators and open the exit gates in order to escape but they are also expected to evade the killer and their various abilities, care for their teammates and break totems if that should be necessary....
iiRcade has added another big name to its ever-growing catalog, as Dead Cells will be available on the cabinet as a launch title. First released in 2018, Dead Cells is arguably one of the best roguelikes of the past few years – getting it on the iiRcade platform is a huge win for the team. The selection of games on iiRcade continues to grow, as earlier this year it was announced that classic titles from ColecoVision would be playable on the arcade....
While Electronic Arts is currently in hot water because of the ongoing loot box controversy, the publisher was heavily criticized earlier this year for a completely different reason. As some may recall, EA closed Visceral Games, the studio behind survival-horror hit Dead Space, and sent its Star Wars project to a different studio to be morphed from a linear single player game into a games-as-service title. A few months later, senior game development director on the original Dead Space, Michael Condrey, has spoken out about the studio’s closure....
It’s time to return to the old west once again but it wouldn’t hurt to have a melody on the journey. Desperados 3 is coming this year and publisher THQ Nordic wanted to make sure the fans who have waited over 13 years can splurge on a special edition. Announced via the official THQ Nordic Twitter account, Desperados 3 is getting a Collector’s Edition. The premium physical release is set at $120 according to GameStop and it heavily leans in on the Old West motif which works in its favor....
Since its launch almost a month ago, Destiny: The Taken King has proven to be a successful rejuvenation for many members of the MMO/FPS hybrid’s fan base. Where the sense of fatigue with regards to running strikes, grinding for gear, and even raids was common, now the new content has made everything feel fresh. More importantly, Bungie has helped spread their content out, keeping players guessing as to when a new secret quest or piece of gear might pop up out of nowhere....
With exactly two weeks left before the Beyond Light expansion, Bungie today released a content roadmap and ViDoc that revealed tons of details about the upcoming season. While we’ve known for some time that Beyond Light will introduce a fourth power type, Stasis, the content calendar provides the names for each of the three new subclasses. Titan Behemoth, Warlock Shadebinder, and Hunter Revenants will be the stasis classes, available to unlock through the Beyond Light campaign....
Recently, Bungie has been making massive changes to Destiny 2 in time for its newest expansion, Beyond Light, which comes out in November. Although the developer recently improved inventory management for Destiny 2 players, the fan community still has several issues with the game - even with its classic raids. As it continues to add more content, Destiny 2 faces the same initial bugs as any other live service game does....
Those who have played Destiny 2 know how long of a process it is to delete shaders out of their inventory. Without any method to delete multiple shaders, players are forced to sit and hit the delete button again and again, which can take a good amount of time, especially if they have a large number of them. Developer Bungie revealed a number of interesting stats about the game’s third season in an infographic, and among them was that all players combined have deleted 807,635,124 shaders just since the launch of Warmind....
Update: The error was resolved about nine hours after it started, with the Bungie Help Twitter account informing players about the fix at 4:22 a.m. PDT on September 7, 2017. Login has functioned normally since then without any further interruptions. Destiny 2 is currently having login issues on PlayStation 4, causing players to be unable to get into the game at all. The issue was noted by the official Bungie Help Twitter account at 7:23 p....
Destiny 2 has been officially revealed and is up for pre-order, and with that comes the announcement that the game will have an Expansion Pass. The Destiny 2 Expansion Pass will give access to the currently untitled Expansion 1 and Expansion 2, and costs $40 US when bought on its own. For those wanting to opt in to get Destiny 2’s DLC expansions, there are many ways to go about it besides buying it separately....
