As ambitious as Cyberpunk 2077 aims to be, it’s only natural for the game to either add or remove certain features during the development process. As happens to be the most recent case, it has been revealed by the game’s designers that the wall running feature has been cut out because of “design reasons.” The information about the feature’s removal comes from Cyberpunk 2077’s level designer Max Pears. While speaking with news outlet Gamereactor - which got the opportunity to play the game for a few hours - Pears stated that wall running has been removed when he was asked if the game would have any vertical exploration....

CD Projekt RED has confirmed that Cyberpunk 2077 will offer its own version of the popular Priscilla concert from The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt. However, the developer of the sci-fi RPG said that fans should expect much more from the Cyberpunk 2077’s take on the fan favorite idea. This week, Cyberpunk 2077 music director Marcin Przybyłowicz and the game’s lead quest designer Paweł Sasko were on Polish rock music radio station Antyradio....

For the time being, Cyberpunk 2077’s release date of September 17 remains. The effect of the COVID-19 pandemic on CD Projekt Red’s development of Cyberpunk 2077 is likely tangible, but the studio remains focused on completion. Part of that is likely ensuring that Cyberpunk 2077 launches prior to next-gen consoles, since the game has always been built for the current-gen. That begs the question, however, as to whether CD Projekt Red is also planning to bring Cyberpunk 2077 to PS5 and Xbox Series X as soon as possible....

The Lawful Evil alignment is one of the most overlooked alignments in Dungeons & Dragons, but It’s also potentially one of the most interesting. While many players who choose Evil alignments may gravitate towards Chaotic Evil as a way to lose any remaining semblance of impulse control, Lawful Evil offers some delightfully devious options. Some DMs ban evil alignments, often for good reason. If you’re making a plot about an evil archmage causing havoc, it helps if no members of the adventuring party would rather be causing havoc right alongside him....

The Dark Souls series, and it’s many spinoffs, is known for one thing over anything else, its insane level of difficulty and skill cap. The franchise is so hard that there is an entire community based around showing off that they completed it while somehow making it harder. This has also lead to people in a very similar community to make a lot of memes about other players needing to Git Gud at the game....

The original Dark Souls has plenty of unique characters that are well portrayed. That is the reason fans are still building memes, fan art, machinima, and cosplays for many of them. One of those characters is called Solaire of Astora. He is probably the most significant and most useful sidekick to players throughout the cataclysmic journey of Dark Souls. His appearance and uncanny love for the sun is a symbol of rare passion, which has led many fans of the series to love his character....

FromSoftware’s Dark Souls is a series renowned for many aspects, with one of its lesser-renowned aspects being its eerie and fitting soundtrack. Yet, it remains wholly appreciated by a swath of fans, one of which asked Dark Souls series composer Yuka Kitamura if she would be returning for Elden Ring’s soundtrack to which she gave an emphatic affirmative. The inquiry started on Twitter when user Brh00m_97 pleaded with Kitamura to tell them she would be working on Elden Ring’s soundtrack....

Having perhaps looked enviously at the stellar response to Resident Evil 2 a few years ago, EA announced its own top-tier horror remake in the form of Dead Space. It’s proved a smart play, too - this is a remake every bit as detailed and impressive as Capcom’s - except it’s built with new-gen consoles in mind, so can push things even further visually. That makes for a truly superb horror experience that might just have resurrected a franchise....

Rob Liefeld, the creator of Deadpool, speaks up on the future of the Deadpool movie franchise now that it is in the hands of Marvel. Unfortunately for fans of the merc with a mouth, it seems like the future isn’t so bright, as Liefeld isn’t happy with the direction that Marvel is going. According to Liefeld, Marvel has zero plans for a Deadpool movie right now, and he further states that even if they did, the movie would take four years to come out at least....

Originally, the plan for Deep Rock Galactic was to allow players to freely fly between planets before landing and mining them for resources. During a recent call, I spoke to the creators of the co-op dwarf-’em-up about the development process, upcoming content, and abandoned ideas. Among the ideas left to evaporate in the kitchen sink of game development was water. As I’m sure you know, caves usually have that. “So since the beginning, we have joked [that] it would be cool to have water in the game,” Ghost Ship CEO Søren Lundgaard explains....

As fans of the shoot-and-loot layout of Destiny get ready for the game’s sequel this September, it appears that Mattel is prepping something special for those that plan on attending this year’s San Diego Comic-Con. The company revealed a Mega Construx Iron Song Ghost Shell that’ll be made available exclusively at the well-attended and California-based gaming, comic, television, and film convention, allowing collectors and Destiny fans alike to plan ahead....

Since Destiny 2’s Leviathan raid went live, players have been competing to see who can complete the incredibly tough activity the quickest. One fireteam completed the raid in 27 minutes and 24 seconds and this was seen as an impressive time, but now, another group of players has totally smashed that record. The new Leviathan raid speedrun record is now 23 minutes and 28 seconds, as of yesterday (October 8, 2017)....

After Destiny 2: Forsaken went live this week, players have been scouting the mysterious Dreaming City for various currencies, loot, and other valuable items. One of the highly sought-after items in The Dreaming City that players have been looking for are Ascendant Chests, and few players have managed to collect all ten chests for Week 1. A group of devoted Destiny 2 fans searched the entire Dreaming City though, and they have posted a video on YouTube that reveals all the chest locations....

With the announcement of Destiny 2: Beyond Light, Guardians were also treated to an outline of the next 2 big expansions for Destiny 2. Beyond Light will be followed by The Witch Queen in early 2022, followed by Lightfall sometime after that. Today, Bungie informed Guardians of information surrounding plans after Lightfall. Bungie mentions that “The Witch Queen expansion represents an important evolution in the ongoing story of Destiny 2.” Bungie further talked about the impact that The Witch Queen will have on the narrative in Lightfall and beyond....

Today’s Destiny 2 video preview features a discussion regarding the development of the sequel’s story, titled “Creating the Story of a Lightless World.” IGN yet again has exclusive hosting privileges for the developer discussion, but it’s primarily focused on the thoughts of Matthew Ward, Cinematic Lead, and Jason Harris, Senior Narrative Lead from Bungie. Ward and Harris each make their pitches for why story in Destiny 2 will establish a pillar for the franchise going forward....

Despite complaints stemming from the PC beta of Destiny 2, Bungie and PC port developer Vicarious Visions have decided to retain aim assist for controllers come launch. Aim assist is an in-game function that automatically adjusts a player’s targeting in combat, making it simpler to land shots on enemies. For Destiny 2 on PC, aim assist is meant to both empower controller users and help establish a balance between controllers versus keyboard and mouse....

Bungie hasn’t been very tight-lipped about its upcoming expansion for Destiny 2, The Forsaken, since its reveal at E3, offering the usual healthy fare of updates and development streams Twitch. Now, the developer has shown off another piece of The Forsaken expansion, The Tangled Shore, one of the new locations making its way into the game later this Summer. Bungie first teased the zone a few weeks ago, but this is the healthiest look the developer has given so far....

Destiny 2 is hoping to make its experience more inviting to players in a variety of ways, from its new Guided Games feature to an increase in in-game storytelling. But according to director Luke Smith, the sequel will have even more ways to guide the player, including a button that will apparently tell players what to do. While speaking to Games Radar, Smith talked about how the first Destiny was not very accommodating to the casual player....

During the Season of Opulence in Destiny 2, a meta has emerged that is hard to beat in PvE. With Mountaintop in the primary slot, The Recluse submachine gun in the secondary slot, and Swarm of the Raven with spike grenades in the power weapon slot, Destiny 2 players are capable of reducing almost any boss or activity to ruins very quickly. Now, there have been plenty of popular loadouts in Destiny 2 – at one point Midnight Coup, the Ikelos shotgun, and Whisper of the Worm were king – but this latest meta is particularly potent....
