Although Control Ultimate Edition originally launched earlier this year, its promised next-generation upgrade didn’t make the leap alongside it, with Remedy bumping the ports to next year. Today, the team finally unveiled when players will be able to upgrade their versions of Control to fully embrace the next-gen systems, with the game set to hit PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X in just a few months’ time. To be precise, the enhanced version of Remedy Games’ 2019 gem will appear on Sony and Microsoft’s digital storefronts on February 2, with a physical version coming a month later on March 3....

Cuphead has earned a reputation of being an ultra-challenging game on the level of the Dark Souls franchise. While some gamers struggle to beat all of the game’s bosses using a standard controller, others, like Twitch streamer and speedrun expert PeekingBoo, see its reputation as a challenge. That’s why PeekingBoo decided to beat Cuphead in one hour and 24 minutes…and he did it with a Dance Dance Revolution dance pad....

A new video shared online yesterday gave fans excited for Cyberpunk 2077 a deep dive look into how much the game has changed since it was shown in 2018. Cyberpunk 2077 has been in development for about four years now, and a lot has changed in the game between what is being shared now vs the deep dive E3 demo they released in 2018. Developer CD Projekt Red is known for being a team of perfectionists, and so the multiple delays the game has received have come as no surprise....

FromSoftware’s Dark Souls revolutionized modern storytelling in video games. Before Dark Souls, most developers opted to tell their stories through predetermined cutscenes. Cutscenes are an effective and cinematic way to tell a game’s story. However, they often break immersion and many players simply skip them. FromSoftware made understanding Dark Souls’ story almost entirely optional. There were very few cutscenes in the game, and the story is predominantly told through optional character interactions and item descriptions....

From Software’s Hidetaka Miyazaki sets the record straight on the current status of Dark Souls 3 and what From Software is planning to pursue in the near future. Hidetaka Miyazaki’s reign as director of the Souls series has seen unprecedented growth for a franchise that should realistically only appeal to a niche subsection of the gaming market. A combination of a finely-tuned formula and constantly improving game quality, however, has seen the recent release of Dark Souls 3 break sales records within From Software and become one of the most talked about gaming releases of 2016....

Not only does Darth Vader deliver one of the most quotable lines in film history, but his wicked badassery was based on a real lord. His essence may not look inspired by Japanese history, but the Sith Lord shares traits with a notorious warlord. The mastermind behind Star Wars, George Lucas, was influenced by Japanese culture when creating the space opera and that reflects on its intergalactic characters too. Star Wars’ big bad is aesthetically futuristic, with his shiny black armor and suit controls, but his design actually replicates an iconic figure from feudal Japan....

Crazy Willie’s Garage is one of the earliest places you visit in Days Gone, as Deacon and Boozer explore the area together in the Story mission You Got A Death Wish. After, Deacon is asked to return here to clear out some infestation nests that have taken root. This is a really important area early in the game for two reasons. Firstly, Crazy Willie’s has a gas pump that Deacon can use without getting off his bike....

Dead By Daylight is unique in that players can directly jump right into gameplay without even exploring the backgrounds of the characters that they play as. While Dead By Daylight is definitely more gameplay driven, there is a rich and detailed lore that exists following both the survivors and killers, and how they ended up in the Entity’s Realm. While the personality of each survivor can be inferred based on their default perks and appearances, the game does offer background information on each survivor and where they come from....

Deadpool director Tim Miller joins the Sonic the Hedgehog film project as an executive producer, while Jeff Fowler from Blur Studio takes on directing duties. After Hollywood film director Tim Miller dropped out of directing Deadpool 2 due to creative differences with star Ryan Reynolds, many were wondering what his next movie would be. After the surprise success of Deadpool (it is the highest-grossing R-rated movie of all time), many expected Miller would go on to create another superhero movie, or perhaps an ultra-violent comedy in a similar style....

PS4 players looking forward to Death Come True will need to be a bit more patient. Due to an unforeseen error found by Sony’s QA team, the release of Izanagi Games and Too Kyo Games’ trippy murder mystery story has been pushed back indefinitely. The title was originally on track for an October 15, 2020, release, but now has an unspecified date. The official Twitter account for the game posted the message to fans to explain the delay....

There’s a scene in Death Stranding that I find myself thinking about over and over again. It’s not part of the story - it’s barely even a scripted sequence. In the central south of the second map, after bringing South Knot City onto the chiral network, you’ll find Mama’s Lab. Across a narrow river separating a small sliver of an otherwise connected peninsula, two preppers have taken up residence in Timefall Farm....

While reading content on games, you often get a bulk of information about the gameplay, plot, characters, items, and weapons. But usually, a game review might end with a simple add-on of “oh, and the soundtrack was great.” This is a shame, because a soundtrack can make a game. Though there are tons of great soundtracks out there, some of them stand out in a way that they will always be remembered....

Alright, alright, alright! Newly introduced in Destiny 2: Forsaken, The Drifter is a rogue light-bearer and handle of the hybrid PvEvP game mode, Gambit. Not quite a hero and not quite a villain, Drifter surrounds himself and the things he’s connected to with mystery, creating his own unique place in Destiny 2’s lore and among it’s unique and memorable cast. Despite his unique place, though, he’s by no means exempt from being turned into a meme like everyone else, and here are ten perfect examples of just how meme-able he can be....

In the lore of the Destiny universe, it is quite easy to argue that Warlocks are the most powerful class when it comes to harnessing the Traveler’s Light, but this does not always translate to the actual gameplay of Destiny 2 if you are not using the right playstyle or gear. This can be especially true at the highest levels of the game’s PvP and PvE content, where using the best subclasses, weapons, armor, and strategies can be the difference between victory and defeat....

In today’s Destiny 2 update, Bungie secretly added new exotic catalysts and a new exotic quest for players to take on. After some collaboration on the various Destiny subreddits, players have finally unraveled the exotic quest which leads players to a returning fan-favorite weapon: Outbreak Prime reborn as Outbreak Perfected. This gun is a bit of a challenge to get, and will require players to be near max power level or have a really coordinated fireteam....

Destiny 2’s weekly Nightfall strikes got a shot in the arm with the game’s latest update, which replaces the timer with a scoring system and Prestige Challenge Cards. To go along with that update, there are new Nightfall emblems including variants that will drop based on players passing certain score thresholds. The main emblem drops by simply completing the Nightfall on normal difficulty. But once players activate the Nightfall’s Challenge Card they can take their best shot at racking up higher scores to earn variants of that emblem....

As the Season of Opulence rolls on, Bungie is keeping Destiny 2 players active with new things to do. Earlier this week, the more difficult heroic version of the Menagerie launched, challenging pre-made fireteams to defeat enemies starting at 750 power in exchange for new triumphs to unlock and rewards that can only be earned in this mode. Unlike the normal version, the Extinguish modifier is active and will send the entire fireteam back to orbit if the team is wiped....

Destiny 2 players should be busy getting started on their Moments of Triumph challenges, but apparently some PC players are experiencing a very unfortunate problem. According to recent reports from the community, PC users who upgrade to the Ryzen 3000 series CPU can no longer get Destiny 2 to run. Reddit user Trinsikk started the thread reporting the issue and it has blown up with discussions and troubleshooting in the following hours....

A group of Destiny superfans forge a life size replica of the Raze-Lighter, the new exotic solar sword added to the game with The Taken King expansion. While the release of Destiny: The Taken King, the first major expansion for Bungie’s hugely successful first person shooter, added plenty of new content to the mix for players to enjoy, it didn’t necessarily change the core experience that much. By and large, the gunplay/gameplay of Destiny was well preserved in its second year, save for one new addition: swords....

Cards Against Humanity, the popular card game known for its raunchy humor and edgy cards, has been accused of perpetuating a toxic work culture by numerous employees in a new report. The report follows days of well-known streamers and personalities being accused of sexual assault and abuse. As reported by Polygon, Cards Against Humanity employees have reported numerous issues with sexist and racist work culture in the company’s office. According to the report, as the team grew increasingly diverse, cards that may appeal to a broader audience were repeatedly shut down, with card pitches from Black writers, like “Shonda Rhimes,” being met with questions like “Would players even know who they are?...
