For one reason or another, it appears as if Doom Eternal composer Mick Gordon didn’t master the tracks used for the game’s official soundtrack release. In a thread that started on Twitter, audio blogger thatACDCguy broke down how the track “BFG Division” showed clear signs of audio compression on Eternal’s OST before Gordon came in to explain. From that exchange, a fan on Reddit allegedly spoke with Gordon about what happened with the soundtrack....

Sony’s E3 2016 presentation contains a surprise featuring an old friend - the Crash Bandicoot games are getting remastered from the ground up for the PS4. Crash Bandicoot is a series that many PlayStation fans grew up playing, and functioned a lot like Sony’s answer to Super Mario. It should come as no surprise, then, that fans of the Crash Bandicoot series have made Sony very well aware of just how large the demand for new Crash Bandicoot games for the PS4 really is....

The Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy may be only a few weeks away from launch, but fans are still learning about new features and enhancements to the classic PlayStation platforming trilogy. The latest surprise comes from a new trailer released just in time for E3 that features a familiar face from Crash lore making a big comeback.

Developer Butterscotch Shenanigans delivers a rip-roaring success with crafting action RPG Crashlands, bringing outlandish humor and addictive gameplay to the indie scene. The crafting genre has become one of the most saturated markets in the indie PC scene, with a number of developers feeling that crafting mechanics can get studios the most bang for their buck. Whilst there are some wonderful standout successes around, including obvious examples such as Minecraft and Don’t Starve, many titles fall short of what the gaming community expects....

If you watched Avatar: The Last Airbender than you should be familiar with Zuko. Zuko was a powerful fire bender that was positioned as the primary antagonist to Aang along most of his journey. Zuko’s personality and temperament are a direct result of the society of hierarchy he was raised in. Discipline and respect were the primary motives for success and failure were seen as a result that should never happen under any circumstance....

One of the more curious game’s to be shown at last year’s E3 was Ryse, Crytek’s mature-themed, sword-wielding Kinect adventure being published by Microsoft exclusively for the Xbox 360. It flashed by at Microsoft’s E3 press conference in a concept trailer depicting the sacking and burning of Rome, and displayed a player of the game using sword swipe, kick, and throwing gestures to attack an enemy soldier. The trailer was a teaser in truest form....

CD Projekt Red has promised to fix Cyberpunk 2077 following the game’s disastrous launch, but one item you won’t find on the game’s recently released developmental roadmap is the time spent dealing with the class action lawsuits that have been filed against the studio. If you follow gaming at all, you’re probably familiar with class action lawsuits and how they’re typically filed by groups of fans/consumers who are disappointed with a particular product....

A Cyberpunk 2077 movie is now a “possibility” because of Keanu Reeves’ role in the game, reveals Cyberpunk series creator. Reeves will be playing the popular rockstar Johnny Silverhand in the game, and he has the second most dialogue of any Cyberpunk 2077 character, following just behind the player character. Speaking to Video Games Chronicle, Cyberpunk series creator Mike Pondsmith said that while he can’t talk about Cyberpunk 2077 movie rights, “with Keanu Reeves being tied up in things, it’s become much more of a possibility....

Cyberpunk 2077 was set to be one of the biggest releases of 2020, so it should come as no surprise that it’s breaking records left and right. In fact, CD Projekt Red’s latest project has already set a new record on Twitch, garnering the most concurrent views for a single player game ever on the platform. At the time of writing, Cyberpunk 2077 has over 750 thousand concurrent viewers – more than any other game on Twitch....

There are many rules in Dungeons & Dragons 5e, and there are new sourcebooks and materials added to the game on a regular basis. But still, there are some rules and options that are missing from the game. There are a lot of ways to improve a D&D game by accessories, devices, or extra sourcebooks and materials. But the easiest way to improve a game is using homebrew rules. Some of these rules have gained so much popularity that some players even mistake them as the default rules of the game....

The trials you face in the Dark Souls 3 DLC are some of the most intimidating and spectacular of the series. Both the Ashes Of Ariandel and Ringed City expansions have contributed greatly to the game’s infamous, intense difficulty. Chief among these vicious additions are the new boss battles. These bosses are brutal, being specifically designed as late-game content for players who have already done a significant amount of exploring and level grinding....

Bend Studio’s Days Gone is finally coming to PC, following in the footsteps of Guerilla Games’ Horizon: Zero Dawn and Hideo Kojima’s Death Stranding. The porting process is being done by Bend Studio itself and is set to release in Spring 2021. Much of the reason behind the decision to bring PlayStation exclusives to the PC platform is driven by the success of its previous ports of exclusive titles. While such a port may be great for the developer and the community at large, it could have a greater impact on Days Gone 2, if that is to happen....

DayZ’s creative director Brian Hicks confirms that the PS4 and Xbox One versions aren’t dead, though 99 percent of the team is focused on developing the PC version. All the way back in 2014, zombie survival game DayZ was announced for Xbox One and PS4. Although there were question about whether the game is too broken for consoles, with the title having sold over three million copies on Steam Early Access in just one year, the sheer popularity of the game and the excitement surrounding it seemed to outweigh that for many console gamers....

The Nightmare or Freddy Kreuger is an interesting Killer within the lore of Dead By Daylight. With his desire to hunt and kill children and young adults he seems almost designed to go after the majority of the Survivors in the game. While many fans are likely familiar with the character from his movie franchise Nightmare On Elm Street there are some interesting differences and quirks in the game. In fact there are many details that the casual fan probably didn’t notice about this scarred monstrosity....

Capcom has officially closed its Vancouver-based studio, the company revealed Tuesday morning. According to Capcom’s official numbers over 150 Capcom Vancouver employees have been laid off as a result of the studio’s closure, with only a “skeleton crew” remaining until January 2019 to manage any lingering operations issues. The studio was closed as a result of Capcom’s plans to “concentrate development of major titles in Japan.” All ongoing projects previously in development at Capcom Vancouver have been canceled, though the nature of those projects remains unclear....

There’s clearly already a good amount of shared structure between Death Stranding and Metal Gear Solid 5: The Phantom Pain, the last game in the series developed by Kojima Productions. However, with as much DNA as these two titles share, there is one feature that isn’t common between the two that Death Stranding 2 should change. Specifically, this would be the recruitment system that drives much of MGS5 and allows Venom Snake to build up the Diamond Dogs and empower his research and development systems....

Norman Reedus, star of Hideo Kojima’s mysterious Death Stranding, says that Kojima’s first project after leaving behind Konami and the Metal Gear franchise is “mind-blowing.” Reedus also admits that his on-stage statement at the Game Awards, where he said he didn’t know what the game’s newest trailer was all about, was scripted. After all, Reedus is the star and so he actually knows quite a lot about Kojima’s game: Kojima has yet to show any gameplay for Death Stranding, with every glimpse of the game so far being cinematics, leaving some to wonder what exactly the gameplay will end up being....

As players progress through Demon’s Souls, they’ll likely find themselves stuck at a variety of huge, intimidating bosses. Boss battles are the name of the game with the Souls franchise as a whole, so it should come as no surprise that there are some imposing ones here in the series’ progenitor. Of the five Archstones found in the game, each offer a unique type of challenge and its own brand of powerful bosses, but the Archstone of the Digger King holds three deadly demons that often top lists of the strongest bosses in Demon’s Souls....
