Star Wars Battlefront Ultimate Edition players report that they are facing error code CE-34632-8 which asks them to update the game after updating it already. Star Wars Battlefront is one of the most highly anticipated games of the year and the game’s publisher, Electronic Arts, has predicted that 13 million copies of the game will be sold. In fact, EA has such high hopes for the game that the publisher has already confirmed that Battlefront will get at least one sequel....

One of the most important buildings for any Stardew Valley farmer looking to raise some animals is a Silo. These small, inexpensive structures will help keep your animals fed, often saving you time and money. They’re especially useful in Winter, when grass does not grow naturally and your animals stay inside. Luckily, Silos are super easy to build and are very straightforward to use. Here’s all the info you’ll need before and after constructing Silos on your farm....

Yesterday afternoon, both Valve and industry pundit Geoff Keighley announced that the next Steam “Game Festival” would be taking place from June 9 to June 14, 2020. Similar to past iterations of the event (which started with The Game Awards last winter), demos of upcoming titles and indie games will be playable for a few days. As Keighley noted in his Twitter post, he’s looking to expand the Game Festival to other platforms....

Sometimes, I want to rip my hair out when I see a bandwagon roll by, especially when its full of gamers who instantly call a new title a clone. Iteration is important, and without it we wouldn’t have some of the games we have today. Genshin Impact shocked the world with its massive success, but some have given it the mocking name “Breath of the Waifu,” comparing it to The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild....

During the second day of 3D Realms’ Realms Deep stream, NightDive Studios announced that its remaster of Strife, titled “Veteran Edition,” will be heading to the Nintendo Switch in the very near future. Released on PC a few years ago, the success of both Turok and Doom 64’s re-releases is likely what pushed NightDive to start bringing more of its remaster efforts to consoles. Not strictly an old-school FPS, Strife was one of the earliest games to attempt to marry FPS and RPG mechanics together....

For decades, there has been a discussion about whether or not video games can translate to real world violence. There have been a number of peer-reviewed studies on the subject, though they appear to be inconclusive. Whenever one study comes out claiming video games do cause violence, another study will contradict it. With many researchers focused on a potential link between video game violence and real world violence, other ways games can impact people haven’t gotten quite as much attention, such as how games that sexualize female characters may influence the behavior of those who play them....

NetherRealm Studios has released a new DLC trailer for Injustice 2 featuring Sub-Zero from the Mortal Kombat games. He is officially a playable character, making it the second time the Injustice series has had a game crossover character. Previously, in Injustice: Gods Among Us, Scorpion was a playable character, also from Mortal Kombat. In the gameplay trailer, which focuses on Sub-Zero and his abilities as “grandmaster of the Lin Kuei,” he is seen using his Super, a mid-air freezing move followed an icy hammer, and then a flurry of deadly icicles....

“All good things must come to an end.” The well-known proverb dates back over 600 years, but as Fortnite has yet to reach its three-year anniversary, some are wondering if the battle royale is already coming to a close. SypherPK, one of Fortnite’s most popular streamers, uploaded a video recently talking about the utter lack of communication from Epic Games and a laundry list of things that are running the game....

It’s going to be a busy few weeks in Sinoalice, what with a holiday event, X-mas Feast, limited edition character classes, and a six-month anniversary celebration of the game’s global release all lined up. Sinoalice is a free-to-play fantasy RPG which comes courtesy of Pokelabo and Square Enix, as well as ol’ Taro Yoko (the creepy-mask-wearing dude who you may know worked on the Nier series and Drakengard). The game’s Winter holiday campaign is running from today (Thursday, December 10) to Sunday, December 27, and includes new missions, daily bonuses and events, and a login bonus that grants you up to 400 twilight crystals....

Stiff though the competition may be, there’s a strong argument to be made for Robert De Niro being the greatest actor of all time. Throughout a fantastic career that has now spanned seven decades, the Academy Award winner has appeared in more than 120 movies; several of which are considered by many to be some of the greatest to have ever graced the silver screen. What’s more, despite turning 77 last year, the veteran actor shows no signs of slowing down just yet....

Once upon a time, Games Workshop’s darling tabletop space opera only rarely dipped its toes into digital territory. But today, in the grim darkness of the year 2019, the world’s leading purveyor of miniaturized warfare seems to be playing it really fast and loose with the licensing. This has resulted in a lot of questionable titles, to be frank. But the silver lining is that it’s resulted in just as many great ones....

The PlayStation 3 was home to a number of cult classic exclusives, but arguably none were as revered as FromSoftware’s Demon’s Souls. The progenitor to the Dark Souls franchise – and eventually both Bloodborne & Sekiro – Demon’s Souls has since been remade for the PS5 by BluePoint Games. What was once the most obscure Soulsborne game has been given the opportunity to reach an even wider audience. Demon’s Souls on PS5 highlights the amazing gameplay at the core of the RPG, but not without making some missteps in the process....

In this impressive DeepFake trailer, members of The Avengers are placed into 1939’s The Wizard of Oz. YouTuber “NextFace” cast Tom Holland as Dorothy, Robert Downey Jr. as Scarecrow, Chris Pratt as Tin-Man, and Chris Hemsworth as the Cowardly Lion. This isn’t the first time Downey Jr. and Holland have starred in a viral DeepFake video together. Previously, they were cast as Marty and Doc Brown in a re-imaging of Back to the Future....

Robert Pattinson has resumed filming on Matt Reeves’ upcoming standalone DC film, The Batman. The actor has been put through a turbulent schedule aboard the project to date, including various production stops and starts throughout 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. In early September, it was reported that Pattinson himself had tested positive for the virus and had to self-isolate, as the crew tried to film other scenes in his absence....

Much like its predecessor, Tom Clancy’s The Division 2 is about an American city rebuilding itself following an act of bioterrorism called the Green Poison outbreak. Instead of New York City, the sequel is set in Washington D.C. this time around, but players still assume the role of Agents for the Strategic Homeland Division. The overall goal is to assist emergency responders dubbed the Joint Task Force in restoring order and wiping out villainous bands of marauders and violent sects of power-hungry malcontents so as to provide a safe haven for survivors of the civil unrest caused by the deadly contagion....

This week’s State of the Game stream confirms that the next major update for The Division will improve the quality of loot players receive as rewards. After an initial wave of enormous success, the past few weeks have been a testing time for The Division and its players. However, the team at Ubisoft Massive is committed to fixing what’s broken, and it seems that the quality of loot being received by players is a top priority....

The Elder Scrolls 6 will soon be part of a franchise has always been about the world that it built up through gameplay and story elements. Fans of The Elder Scrolls series relish in being part of the world’s narrative and have long-noticed that there’s a missing piece to the story. They hope that the next installment, The Elder Scrolls 6, may delve deeper into the mysterious race known as the Dwemer and what became of them after they vanished....

Todd Howard confirmed in an interview this week that The Elder Scrolls 6 would make significant use of procedural generation to create its game world. This technique has been used in Elder Scrolls games in the past, however, a renewed focus on procedural generation and Howard’s claims that towns and cities will be significantly larger in future Bethesda games suggests the game’s world will be quite large. A larger game world is fantastic news for the Elder Scrolls modding community....

The Flash appears to be drawing its story about the various “forces” and the humans they’ve inhabited to a conclusion. The next chapter “Family Matters, Part 1” (which airs tonight on The CW) puts the Strength Force known as “Fuerza” back in the spotlight. Of course, we first met Fuerza in all her rampaging glory much earlier in the season, and her notoriety was complete when she killed poor Abra Kadabra....

In a recent blog post, Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War publisher Activision has unveiled its plans for the Call of Duty franchise.
