A recently posted clip from the official Game Developers Conference YouTube page now reveals a highlight from Bungie’s own John Hopson, who ran a panel about user research in Destiny back in 2015. Hopson - who now works at Blizzard - detailed how Bungie had broken the cardinal rule of user research design, and had invited user groups to play the action-RPG multiple times in order to get a grasp on how experienced players would tackle tasks....

After announcing its intentions several months ago to partner with Bungie to release Funko Pop figures of characters from the science fiction shooter Destiny, the vinyl toy manufacturer has now followed through to reveal that the models will be hitting the market sometime in August of this year. However, the company failed to disclose an exact release date when unveiling which of the action-RPG’s familiar faces would be made available in the toy line....

Find out the unique modifiers for this week’s Challenge of the Elders in Destiny and how to finish an Elders’ Sigil scorecard for the week in just two runs. Destiny fans have now seen every score modifier for the game’s Challenge of the Elders mode, but Bungie has set up sixteen unique combinations of Destiny’s newest endgame activity. This week sees Grenade Kill Bonus back in the rotation, but players won’t have the advantage of Catapult like they did in week 2....

With an overabundance of games and movies based on popular media, one has to assume that the industry as a whole will reach a certain level of “adaptation saturation” wherein original properties would begin to resurface. Unfortunately, we’ve yet to reach that level, and instead entertainment folk have begun looking to any established brand for inspiration. Which brings us to World Gone Sour, a downloadable title that is based on the somewhat popular Sour Patch Kids candy....

Christopher “Jackson Publick” McCulloch, co-creator of The Venture Bros. on Cartoon Network, has confirmed via Twitter that the show has been cancelled after seven seasons. The word reportedly came down a few months ago, while McCulloch and his partner Eric “Doc” Hammer were writing scripts for season 8. The Venture Bros. had been renewed for an eighth season back in October of 2018, following its seventh-season finale. On September 5th, however, a tweet from Ken Plume, the author of the making-of art book Go Team Venture!...

Netflix announced today that its hit animated series Castlevania will be returning for a fourth season. The show is based on the popular video game series of the same name, but over the last three seasons the show has taken on a life of its own, and introduced many new fans to the Castlevania universe. The announcement came by a series of tweets from the official Netflix Twitter account. The first one announced that Sir Mirror, a mirror that in the series can show the location of anyone, had an announcement to make....

Catan, formally known as The Settlers of Catan, is celebrating 25 years. Time to blow up the balloons, break out the party poppers, and fill up on cake and ice cream. It was spring 1996 when I first heard about Catan. I was backpacking around Germany with some friends, and one day while shopping we came across a game we hadn’t seen before, “Die Siedler von Catan.” I can still remember to this day, the distinctive silhouette of a town atop of a hill with an orange-yellow sun with a slightly cloudy red sky behind....

UPDATE 4/27/2020: It’s back! But there’s no explanation of what happened. Cave Story+ has unexpectedly disappeared from Nintendo’s website. Originally released back in 2004, Cave Story follows a robot attempting to free creatures called Mimiga from the villainy of the Doctor. Along the way, the main character meets quirky friends and foes. Cave Story was developed by just one individual, and contained a high level of polish. It is one of the most iconic indie games ever made, predating Undertale and Shovel Knight....

When it came to reports of unethical working conditions out of CD Projekt Red, billionaire CEO Adam Kiciński only had one thing to say: it’s “not that bad—and never was.” In a call to investors following this week’s delay of Cyberpunk 2077, Kiciński attempted to ensure the board that rumors of crunch were greatly exaggerated. He emphasized that the media has blown the reports out of proportion, and that the board had nothing to worry about....

Cloudpunk - the noir cyberpunk title from indie game developer ION LANDS - released earlier this year on PC, receiving high marks from TheGamer in our review for its ambitious take on the cyberpunk genre.

When it comes to choosing a case for your computer, it may seem as though it comes down purely to aesthetics. While the style of the tower is certainly a major factor when choosing the right one for you, there are a lot of subtle (and not so subtle) design decisions that go into making a computer case, many of which may not even occur to first time PC builders....

Although many PlayStation fans are wondering what Sony has planned for their triple-A fall slate, Xbox fans are well aware of the looming launch of Halo 5: Guardians. It’s true that The Master Chief Collection’s poor matchmaking at launch (and for the following months) may have soured the franchise’s reputation, but there’s no denying Halo 5 will be huge for Xbox One at the end of the year. Still, with so little known about Halo 5: Guardians, it’s hard to drum up more than a general sense of enthusiasm....

A new mod for Crash Bandicoot: N. Sane Trilogy allows players to step into the shoes of Crash’s arch-nemesis, Dr. Neo Cortex. This mod is essentially a pallet swap for Crash, replacing him as the main playable character. Cortex has all of the same moves and attacks as Crash, but feels unique by having his own voice clips and a few custom animations. A second file that can be downloaded replaces Crash’s life counter with Cortex’s, as well as replacing the traditional Aku Aku masks with the evil Uka Uka masks....

Tokyo based developer, Sting Entertainment, has officially announced Gloria Union: Twin Fates in Blue Ocean FHD Edition. The original game was only available on Sony’s PSP, and was never even localised to the West. This will be a full HD remaster of Gloria Union: Twin Fates in Blue Ocean which came out in 2011 under the Atlus umbrella in Japan. The full HD remaster will launch in 2021 for the Nintendo Switch, Android, and iOS devices....

Cyberpunk 2077’s launch debacle seems to have no end in sight, but while the game has some glaring issues, not every one of them is deal-breaking. One of the latest revelations is a hilarious glitch that allows players to run at an unprecedented speed, really bringing the “gotta go fast” mantra to the fore. Sure, since launch, Cyberpunk 2077 has been plagued with a plethora of issues. This has resulted in many moving away from the game, at the very least until CD Projekt Red can issue a few fixes, but it does come with a silver lining: this speed glitch is just one of Cyberpunk 2077’s most hilarious glitches....

Cyberpunk 2077 has prompted plans for plenty of merchandise, with deodorizing gift sets and other hardware among themed items all ready for the launch of possibly the most hyped (and delayed) game of 2020. The title is set for release next month and it really looks like that will be the case this time around as the developers are reported to have chosen a crunch over what would have been another delay....

It’s been a tumultuous 24 hours for Cyberpunk 2077, which is funny considering no major announcements have been made. Cyberpunk 2077 was featured in Nvidia’s recent showcase of its 3000 series RTX graphics cards. A trailer featuring DLSS-enhanced Cyberpunk 2077 gameplay with ray-tracing was shown in all its glory. Alongside the trailer, an image from Nvidia was shared that led to some confusion, prompting CD Projekt Red to tell fans that PC specifications will be coming soon....
