Gamers excited for a cyberpunk adventure in Cyberpunk 2077 should try its TTRPG source to get that “authentic” immersion. After all, Cyberpunk 2077 implemented many concepts from Cyberpunk 2020 and the upcoming Cyberpunk Red. As such, it makes sense for players to at least try and immerse themselves in the original material. Unfortunately for new players, many features in Cyberpunk 2020 might seem overwhelming. After all, systems like Dungeons & Dragons just keep everything bundled in a few skills and proficiency....

Cyberpunk 2077 is not a game that waits around. Night City is moving, living, breathing, and if you’re just standing there, somebody will run into you or run over you. A cutthroat game like this does not hold your hand. So it stands to reason that if you’re in open combat, the enemies are equally unlikely to give you space. The solution to this frenzy is to be just as frantic as the robots and organics that try to pounce on you....

Following Monday’s Night City Wire event, more details have emerged in proving just how immersive Cyberpunk 2077 intends on being. CD Projekt Red seems to be exploring just how much it can evolve the age-old cutscene format — this time with ever-changing dialogue options by way of a mere glance in the wrong direction. Not only will cutscenes adapt in such a way, but the player could very well see things in the background that can have game-changing consequences on how quests are played and how certain characters are dealt with....

One fan of From Software’s latest entry in its notoriously difficult action-RPG franchise, Dark Souls 3, creates a mod adding a first-person mode to the game. As some gaming fans may be aware, developer From Software’s first game was entitled King’s Field, and it contains elements reminiscent of the eerie medieval fantasy features found within Dark Souls 3, but instead of a third-person’s perspective, it was played through first-person view. Now, as she has done with the initial two entries in the franchise, modder Zulliethewitch has been able to convert the players’ perspectives within Dark Souls 3 to that of King’s Field’s first-person view with a new mod....

The comics world is still disappointed at the necessary cancellation of an entire year of conventions due to the ongoing Coronavirus outbreak in the United States. While more than half the fun of the comic con experience was being part of the joyful, sweaty mass of people wandering the floor and feeding off of each other’s excitement, a good chunk of that feeling was the hype of new movies, panels with beloved creators, and the flood of breaking news hurtling out of them....

This DC’s Legends of Tomorrow review contains spoilers Legends of Tomorrow Season 6 Episode 10 Matt Ryan’s John Constantine is tremendous. He’s the definitive translation of a previously untranslatable character – an enormous feat of storytelling and acting craft, considering DC has been trying (with wildly varying degrees of success) to translate Constantine out of his Vertigo roots and into the mainstream DCU for the better part of a decade now....

Dead by Daylight is one of the more popular online multiplayer games at the moment, with a dedicated following and a number of prolific Twitch streamers helping to buoy it against other, larger titles like the PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds. Dead by Daylight has successfully cultivated a reputation as one of the premier horror games in existence, and developer Behaviour Interactive looks to further that notion with the addition of another major villain to its roster: Nightmare on Elm Street’s Freddy Krueger....

Behaviour Interactive is perhaps best known for its ongoing multiplayer horror game Dead by Daylight. But Behaviour does much more than that. Since Dead by Daylight’s release in 2016, Behaviour’s released more than half a dozen other games, including ports for Halo Wars and Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel and its own games like Deathgarden and Game of Thrones: Beyoond the Wall. Now Behaviour is ready to release a new game, Giblins: Fantasy Builder, which is the complete opposite of Dead by Daylight....

When the first Dead Island game was announced, its trailer quickly went viral. The video, which had no gameplay and was made up of CGI, featured a family stuck in a hotel while the resort’s other guests had been struck with some sort of zombie virus. As the events unfold in slow-mo and flashback sequences, viewers see that the young daughter of the family get caught by zombies and turned into one herself, before she eventually turns on her family....

Not too long ago, Kojima Productions released a fresh Death Stranding trailer during Tokyo Game Show 2018 that introduced a mysterious man in a golden mask, as well as a new and imposing creature players should expect to see in the PlayStation 4 exclusive. As one might expect, the arrival of the enigmatic figure didn’t do much to shed more light on what the project is actually about, but that seems to be of little concern to Hideo Kojima, as he’s announced that there are still even more characters to unveil....

We have the early scoop on where to find the vendor Xur and what exotic armor and weapons he has available to Destiny players for the weekend of December 23rd. It’s the second week of Destiny’s Dawning event and thus far things seem to be going along nicely. Compared to the Festival of the Lost, which heavily relied on microtransactions, The Dawning offers new content to enjoy, like Strike Scoring and Sparrow Racing, without “encouraging” players to spend money....

Destiny 2’s annual Solstice of Heroes is underway, and many players are now busy working to upgrade the event’s special armor set. One step in this multi-part process tasks fans with completing a number of Adventures, and some players will certainly want to get through those side-missions as quickly as possible. This desire may lead certain players to wonder about what the absolute shortest Adventures in Destiny 2 are, and indeed there are several that can be finished very quickly....

Destiny 2’s remade Vault of Glass raid isn’t set to return until May 22, but thanks to data miners, we can still view all the “new” weapons that are set, and all the new perks they’ll come with. As befits weapons that come from some of the hardest PvE content that Destiny 2 has to offer, most of these weapons will have either very good stats, very good perk combos, or both....

Destiny 2 stands ready to send players to never before seen places to face new enemies. Some of these have been spotted in the trailers and gameplay that have been released for the game, including the Cabal’s new dog-like creature. But that’s not the “new” type of enemy in this fan-made live action Destiny 2 trailer parody. In fact, don’t expect to see anything like this in Destiny 2; however, it does make for one funny mashup:...

Destiny 2 Nightfall Strikes are designed to push players to the wire, giving players a certain amount of time with which to complete the activity. Players generally find themselves running out of time or having to use the modifiers of that week’s Strike to extend the timer. Some daring and talented Destiny 2 players seem to laugh in the face of the Nightfall timer, though, completing speedruns, to show off how fast they can complete the activity....

When Bungie first started talking about Destiny: The Taken King in earnest they promised players a ton of surprises. Whether it is within story missions or simply while poking around in The Tower, Bungie implied that even though players might think they had seen all the new expansion has to offer, they likely haven’t. Never has that been more true than today. For those who may not have noticed, many of Destiny: The Taken King’s missions actually have two versions, or rather one regular version and then an extended version, which is unlocked by turning on the Heroic modifier....

With that set, check out the Coming 2 America trailer just below. The trailer for Coming 2 America starts by taking us back to the fictional African nation of Zamunda, this time with modern CGI helping to depict new aspects of the sprawling splendor we saw in the original film. After some scenes that clearly bear thematic influence (to the point of parody,) from a property that popped up during the years since the first movie, The Lion King, the clip starts serving its first helping from a basket brimming with juicy member berries, with a voiceover from James Earl Jones’s returning King Jaffe Joffer....

In the growing series of bad ill-thought-out service decisions, Microsoft is now letting their potential third-party partners continue the bad PR train for them. If it’s not analysts and military officials sharing displeasure towards Microsoft’s anti-consumer Xbox One policies, its potential developers. CCP Games and Digital Extremes told us face-to-face last week just how happy they are with Sony’s plans and ideas are for the PS4, and how self-publishing and lack of update costs makes Sony’s next-gen hardware the obvious choice for their games....
