Dauntless launched a little over a week ago and developer Phoenix Labs has been keeping tabs on what everyone has been doing, announcing that 60% of all parties consist of cross-platform players split between PC, Xbox One, and PS4. This is an interesting and positive thing to see. From our experiences, matchmaker has always matched us with a mix of players across the three different platforms. In fact, we have yet to be placed in a group that is filled with players from just one platform....

2020 has been a great year for Nintendo in terms of sales, but there is a growing threat for the company on the horizon, as the upcoming holiday season will see the release of the PlayStation 5 and the Xbox Series X. Nintendo doesn’t need to worry too much, as it can counter the release of the upcoming next generation of consoles with a price cut for the Switch. Microsoft and Sony are going to have an uphill battle this holiday season, as their latest consoles are launching at the worst possible time....

Luke Skywalker’s unexpected return on The Mandalorian last year reignited fan theories and speculation about the beloved Jedi hero’s involvement in upcoming Star Wars project. Will Mark Hamill’s CGI likeness return for The Mandalorian season 3 with little Grogu in tow? Is he destined to become a character who casts his shadow on all of the upcoming live-action series set after Return of the Jedi? Or was his last-minute rescue in Mando season 2 finale just a cameo designed to shatter the internet?...

The Mandalorian season 2 not only marked the return of fan-favorite bounty hunter Boba Fett but it also cleared the way for his own spinoff series. Indeed, the final scene of the live-action series’ epic second season concluded with Fett ascending Jabba’s throne on Tatooine, ready to get back to business. Temuera Morrison and Ming-Na Wen star in the spinoff, which follows the further adventures of Fett and assassin Fennec Shand after their brief stint with Din Djarin and Grogu on The Mandalorian....

Star Wars and lightsabers go hand in hand. They’re kind of like the space-weaponry equivalent of an electric guitar. While all lightsabers have the inherent capability to cause massive damage, they also come in different colors. But why? It turns out that for a number of reasons ranging from both story and post-production, the addition of multiple lightsaber colors came about. According to an article from Vox, the color is indicative of a Jedi’s personality and temperament and is determined by the Jedi who originally uses it....

Many people have it in their mind that the PC is a dying platform. Well, you can go up to those people and wave this stat in their face: Steam just recently broke the 5 million mark for concurrent users! What this means is that there were over five million users logged into Valve’s digital distribution platform at one time. For a service that reaches over 35 million people, this is quite a huge feat....

Paradox Interactive has officially confirmed that the first part Stellaris: Console Edition’s second expansion pass, the Synthetic Dawn Story Pack, is launching on May 12. Stellaris: Console Edition launched back in 2019, though the game had been around for the PC for longer. The full second expansion pass has more updates and DLC coming throughout the 2020 year, with Synthetic Dawn being the first of three add-ons. The Synthetic Dawn Story Pack allows players to begin Stellaris as a machine empire (essentially a robot race), complete with new story events and unique mechanics allowing players to spread their empire out across the galaxy....

August was definitely a huge month for gaming, with very few huge AAA releases hitting shelves but a number of smaller games growing incredibly popular in the eyes of gamers. Fall Guys obviously had a big debut, garnering worldwide acclaim and instantly transforming into one of the biggest battle royales in the world, while Madden became one of the more controversial entries in the annual series to date. For those wondering which games made the biggest splashes online this month, some newly sourced stats from StreamElements show exactly which titles were the most popular on Twitch during August....

Running a fully operational underwater Seabase is going to take some serious power requirements in Subnautica: Below Zero. There are also different tools and vehicles that require their own sources of power. Power Cells for the Prawn Suit, Batteries for the Habitat Builder, etc, etc. Each power source has its own pros and cons. Solar Panels, for example, are ideal for a base that is close to the surface, whereas they’re totally useless if you’re building a base 300 meters deep....

This Teenage Bounty Hunters review contains no spoilers and is based on the first five episodes. When it comes to television shows about teenagers who stumble into a purpose greater than that experienced by their peers – something both dangerous and occasionally thrilling – Teenage Bounty Hunters is in some very good company. Whether it’s the classics like Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Veronica Mars, or some of the more recent superhero fare, it’s not hard to find shows that want to capture the particular demographic-conquering magic that comes with this kind of premise....

Few genres can depict the future as well as science fiction. Crafting a universe distant enough from our own to remain captivating but just similar enough to allow for the application of real-world problems and thought. This is why franchises like Star Trek have such a large fanbase and have tangibly impacted the real world. Without Star Trek, it’s unlikely we would have such powerful smartphones. The best of these franchises usually have grounded elements that keep them relatable....

This The 100 review contains spoilers. The 100 Season 5 Episode 9 This episode covers a ton of ground, and while some of these arcs feel like they could have used more breathing room, a lot of the choices – like Indra overreaching for power and not counting on Miller, or Clarke coming after Octavia with a gun as a way to stop Gaia – only make sense if you don’t think about them too much....

Since the release of Grand Theft Auto V over five years ago, players have been obsessing over getting money to buy the high-end items in the online shops. It’s no surprise since some of the items can cost up to $10,000,000! Since its release, many DLCs have been released which give players access to multiple businesses they can own to get them out of the nonstop money grind of robbing store after store....

Matt Reeves’ new take on the Dark Knight doesn’t hit theaters until next year, but fans are already hard at work trying to uncover The Batman‘s mysteries. The central mystery? The Riddler’s creepy new look. As first revealed in the trailer released at DC FanDome last summer, The Batman brings a brand-new Riddler to the big screen and he looks unlike any version of the character we’ve ever seen in live-action....

The Pokemon anime may have its differences from the games, but one thing remains an equally definitive aspect between both: battles. Most of the Pokemon anime’s characters live and breathe to battle one another, whether it’s in Gym battles, League Conference battles, or World Coronation Series battles. Of course, battles don’t exist on their own in the anime. They come with stakes that exist outside of official standing. Some battles carry real conflict and emotional weight, making for some of the most exciting moments of the entire series....

Over the years and decades, there has been a slew of properties that have crossed over between the realms of film, TV, and video games. These efforts have seen mixed results, though some tend to bring more success than others. Franchises like Tolkien’s Lord of the Rings have translated well for the most part. It makes sense, as the rich, imaginative settings and fantasy premise mesh with the video game medium....

This article contains spoilers for The Boys season 3 episode 4. Midway through The Boys season 3 episode 4 “Glorious Five Year Plan” Billy Butcher (Karl Urban) delivers a dire warning to Hughie Campbell (Jack Quaid) about the dangers of the new Compound-V spinoff drug, V24. “Hughie, it’s not power. It’s punishment. And you don’t deserve none of it,” Butcher says. Butcher’s words are powerful but they ultimately fall flat with the power-hungry Hughie – and not only because they resemble Tim Meadows’ “you don’t want no part of this shit” speech from Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story....

We got our first peek at The Falconeer last June with the release of the upcoming indie game’s story trailer. The Falconeer takes place in a world called the Great Ursee, where a war is being fought amongst its great factions. You play as a Falconeer, a warrior mounted on the back of an enormous bird in much the same way as Panzer Dragoon puts you on the back of a giant dragon....

For many fans, Joel and Ellie are characters that defined an entire generation of gaming when The Last of Us hit the PlayStation 3 in 2013 and ushered in a new era of video game storytelling. In many ways, their relationship, and the journey they embark on to cure a deadly virus that’s destroyed the planet, inspired the entire industry to rethink the kind of character work and narratives that could be achieved in the medium....
