The long wait for Cyberpunk 2077 is set to finally end in less than two weeks, fingers crossed. With CD Projekt RED assuring that Cyberpunk will meet its release date this time, everyone can now really start to think about preparing for its arrival and getting to playing as soon as possible. For many, this means wondering if they’ll be able to pre-load the game, and according to a supposed leak, it looks like they will be....

While the wait continues, CD Projekt Red has revealed the images of two new sinister characters in the Cyberpunk 2077 universe by the names of Mr. Goldhand and Mr. Jenkins. Following a series of delays, Cyberpunk 2077 is set to release November 19th and is expected to be one of the biggest games of the year. While gamers wait patiently for this highly-anticipated title, the Cyberpunk 2077 Twitter has been busy dropping fans some content to get hyped up for the game....

Despite E3 being cancelled this year, this hasn’t stopped various gaming companies from hosting their own online events to talk more about their upcoming games, and what fans can expect once those games release. Keeping up with the digital trend, Cyberpunk 2077 has announced its own event that will offer more insight on the upcoming title. Announced via Twitter, the event is called Night City Wire and will take place on June 11....

For the longest time, game publishers were becoming more and more risk-averse, not adding any substantial level of challenge in their games out of the fear that they’d alienate their fanbase as a result. It was an erroneous judgment that showed how disconnected the industry players were from its fans. However, this dynamic was completely altered with the release of Dark Souls, a game in which players were finally given the respect they deserved in the form of one of the most challenging video games that had ever been released in the modern era....

With last week’s teaser trailer still fresh in everyone’s mind, fans of the Lovecraftian dungeon crawler Darkest Dungeon are still grasping for details about Darkest Dungeon 2. We know that the game is set to release in Early Access on the Epic Games Store in 2021, and that it looks just as stylishly spooky as its predecessor, but that’s pretty much it. Fortunately, we haven’t been left in the dark for long thanks to a recent interview published over at PC Gamer....

Adding a romantic element to a game is often a good way of getting people invested in characters, but dating sim games do away with all that pesky gameplay and get right to the flirtation. Dating sim games aren’t everybody’s cup of tea; they’re a subset of visual novels, meaning the emphasis is less on gameplay and more on story and character. They’re typically fun little diversions like Hatoful Boyfriend, rather than deep and involved narratives like The Witcher, meaning many people who like action-oriented games will find them boring or tedious....

Trophies appear online for a PlayStation 4 version of the first Dead Rising game, suggesting that Capcom is remastering the game for current-gen consoles. The first Dead Rising game has been an Xbox 360 exclusive since it released in August of 2006, but it looks like that’s going to change. Trophies for a PlayStation 4 version of Dead Rising have appeared online, suggesting that the game is getting a current-gen remaster ahead of the release of Dead Rising 4 later this year....

As promised, developer Bungie addressed concerns about Destiny 2’s Trials of Osiris mode in its weekly blog post. The studio discussed plans to improve rewards, incentivize players to reach for Flawless tickets and the Lighthouse, and even offer a path for less skilled players to earn some Trials of Osiris gear. But any discussion about Trials of Osiris also has to include talk about cheating, and Bungie had a lot to say about the topic this week....

A Destiny 2 fan has created a “sexy” version of Emperor Calus - the boss of Leviathan, the game’s first raid. The artist, u/TheMaestroNoob, has been making waves on the Destiny 2 Reddit recently as a respected purveyor of gender swapped raid bosses from Destiny. Past work includes a “sexy” Atheon and Oryx, from the Vault of Glass and King’s Fall raid, respectively. While Oryx and Atheon at least had some manner of slick design to work with, the artist here had their work cut out for them....

Destiny 2 is an ever-growing universe as Bungie introduces new ideas to the game each year and fills the time in-between with seasonal pursuits. The Forsaken expansion notably saw the addition of the Scorn, a new enemy race, and this year Beyond Light added the first of the Darkness subclasses. Destiny is getting more and more confident with exploring the concept of Darkness as time goes on, and some players think that there are remnants of the theorized Darkness race in the game already....

When developer Bungie revealed Destiny 2: Forsaken this week, it also talked about the game’s Annual Pass that gives players access to new endgame content and challenges during its second year. Today in its weekly blog update, Bungie revealed that part of that endgame content will include more raid lairs over the course of the year across three content drops. Destiny 2: Forsaken promises a new raid with the DLC’s release, a raid that Bungie says contains more bosses than any other raid the developer has ever made....

Warning: contains marked spoilers for Game Of Thrones season 4. Being offered the chance to interview Charles Dance was a strangely exhilarating experience. Dance has an incredible body of work behind him and for many geeks has been a constant presence in everything from The Golden Child, through Alien 3, Last Action Hero and most recently of course, Game Of Thrones. However, on accepting the invitation to speak to Mr Dance there was a sudden onset of fear....

Sometimes, impossible things just happen, and we call them miracles. Though that line may have been spoken by Eleventh Doctor Matt Smith in the Season 5 episode “The Pandorica Opens,” it has perhaps special relevance for Doctor Who fans right now, who are living through a moment most of us had given up hope on ever seeing. No, it’s not the fact that the Doctor is a woman now. (I’d like to believe we all knew that would eventually happen at some point, no matter how many folks resisted or complained about it....

Our quick take Citroën Ami It’s not actually a car Compact, but basic design Is the Citroën Ami comfortable? What’s it like to drive? What’s the range and speed? So what’s the Citroën Ami actually for? To recap The Citroën Ami is cute on one hand, but limited on the other. It’s a solution to moving people around an urban environment and there’s some appeal in its electric propulsion and compact size....

For those who haven’t played Clubhouse Games: 51 Worldwide Classics or are curious as to what it is all about, it’s a definite recommend. It brings some iconic games to the Nintendo Switch providing classic entertainment along the way. Despite all the great games available, the game was still faced with some problems, mainly bugs and needed updates. Some of these issues are addressed in the newest update for Clubhouse Games....

At its heart, The Karate Kid has always been about standing up to bullies. Actually, when it comes right down to it, almost every high school drama is about standing up to bullies. It’s just that The Karate Kid responds with a crane kick to the face. High school bully versus underdog stories are easy to tell, and they resonate with anyone who survived their teenage years. That first major pubescent dose of testosterone or estrogen makes us all want to assert ourselves, and in that search for identity, many find it in bullying....

Final Fantasy 16 is finally confirmed now that publisher Square Enix officially announced the upcoming installment during the PlayStation 5 Showcase event a couple of weeks ago. At the moment, specific details about Final Fantasy 16 are still unknown, but it has been confirmed to be a timed-exclusive on the PS5 before heading to the PC thereafter (at least it seems). In terms of what was seen in the trailer, it should be noted that it was captured from a PC, simulating a PS5, ....

Players may remember the first time they planted a bomb in Counter-Strike’s de_dust2. Now, Teardown will offer Counter-Strike fans a way to finally experience the mayhem that should have followed their efforts, as Teardown offers players a fully destructible sandbox. Teardown is a single-player experience that puts users in the shoes of the owner of “Lockelle Teardown Services.” From there, the player is offered a variety of objectives and missions that tend to leverage the game’s ridiculously destructible environments....

Crytek has just put up a job posting for a technical director for a new game, and all signs point towards this being a Crysis game. The job posting itself doesn’t tell much about the game except that it will be a AAA title, but recent events make things pretty clear. Two days ago, the Crysis Twitter account made its first post in four years. This post simply said “RECEIVING DATA” in all caps with no image, but the following tweet which was posted yesterday gave a little more insight....

With so much focus on crafting, equipment, and cybernetics, it’s almost as though consumables have been an afterthought in Cyberpunk 2077, which would explain why players are finding the Very Hard difficulty a bit too extreme. The difference between wins and losses in Night City is razer thin and ignoring an entire series of buffs is going to make the journey close to impossible. Those who are sick and tired of reloading autosaves in Cyberpunk 2077 should give serious consideration to ingesting or injecting more of their consumables....
