After already facing major shortages, Super Mario 3D All Stars has purportedly leaked online — and it appears that all of the games in the collection are emulated. Super Mario 3D All Stars was originally due to launch on September 18, but has already leaked online just three days ahead of its release date. The news comes from a Twitter user called OatmealDome, who recently published a thread delving into the discovery....
It’s clear that many people who bought Cyberpunk 2077 did not find the experience favorable, to say the least. From massive frame rate drops to glitches to poor optimization in general, Cyberpunk 2077 has a number of players disappointed by the experience. Although, one of the most notable members of the video game industry has a lot of good things to say about the game. Masahiro Sakurai, on top of being the director and creator of Super Smash Bros....
Superman and Lois, the first Arrowverse DC TV series headlined by the Man of Steel (and the first live action show to actually put the word “Superman” in the title in 25 years) is arriving in February. And with this new series, a fresh start for the Man of Steel and family, Tyler Hoechlin’s Superman is getting a brand new costume. Don’t worry, this isn’t some Hollywood executive’s attempt to make Supes “edgy” or more hardcore....
Take-Two Interactive CEO Strauss Zelnick claims to be encouraged by fans’ calls for GTA remasters but says he’s leaving the decision to developers Rockstar. The former is responsible for publishing GTA 5, which has been wildly successful and has shown no signs of slowing down. The game has sold over 140 million units, selling more in 2020 than any other year save its release year, 2013. The likes of GTA 4 and GTA: San Andreas have been the subject of remaster desires and a recent online survey determined San Andreas, released in 2004, is the game fans want to see remade more than any other game ever published....
Two wrongs do not always make a right, but no one seems to have told the creator of a Team Fortress 2 bot built to hunt down other bots. Team Fortress 2 has long been filled with bots and cheaters, and while Valve has proven to be ineffective at rooting out the problem, one player has made an impression with their own code that names their characters “Bot Extermination Services.”...
When the COVID-19 crisis suddenly began ravaging communities around the world, national governments could offer little assurance to anxious citizens. We were lucky if we got anything more than contradictory instructions about masks, some vague instructions for handwashing and orders to “stay home.” Living in New York City, which was an unfortunate hotspot for the virus, I’m now three months into our city’s stay-at-home order. It finally appears the worst may be over, but our reality will be much different moving forward....
In recent years, numerous hack and slash games have emerged, solidifying the type of game as a genre. Hack and slash games can be first-person, third-person, or over-the-shoulder third-person. What they all have in common, however, is tons of enemies to slay and non-stop action. Hack and slash games give you little time to strategize in the middle of battles. If playing with a mouse and keyboard, expect to do a lot of key mashing and clicking....
There are a number of outfits Lara can acquire in Rise of the Tomb Raider and while some are purely for aesthetics, others provide helpful bonuses. Admittedly the bonuses aren’t necessary for beating the game, but they can be helpful and give you an edge. Figuring out which ones are the best is down to a matter of preference, but according to the fans, these outfits are considered some of the more useful items to wear in the game....
As has been teased for a while, it seems the Darkness has finally caught up to humanity in Destiny 2. Lore and in-game teases since the beginning have been teasing the overarching villain of the series ever since the first Destiny’s opening cinematic. Now, six years later, the true Darkness is making its long-anticipated, long-dreaded return to humanity’s solar system. And with the Darkness may come salvation for the game itself, despite its ill-fated return....
One of the staples of the Bethesda E3 presentation for the last few years has been a lineup of games that are actually arriving in the very near future. In a break from that tradition, Bethesda closed this year’s show with surprise reveals of both Starfield and The Elder Scrolls 6. Bethesda said that Starfield was next in the line and it sounded like The Elder Scrolls 6 may not be coming until after that....
This article contains The Expanse spoilers. In the latest episode of The Expanse, Bobbie Draper reminds the Rocinante crew that they’re harboring a convicted felon, Clarissa Mao, and it’s easy for the audience to forget that she was in a maximum security prison on Earth for blowing up a ship full of innocent people in season 3. The forgiveness she earned from Amos in the intervening seasons has now been extended by Holden in this week’s most touching scene, and saving Bobbie’s life was a big part of her redemption arc....
There’s no denying that the video game industry is one of, if not the biggest, revenue earners in the entertainment sector. AAA studios that take years to put out a game and spend millions of dollars on development sometimes recoup their costs in one day. Indie games unexpectedly rise to the top of best-seller charts and rake in revenue that they never expected. It is with this success in mind that a group of video games industry veterans and investors have come together to announce The Game Fund, a $50 million fund for new game developers seeking investments....
Warning: contains spoilers for The Handmaid’s Tale season 5 episode 4 ‘Dear Offred’. Introducing Fred and Serena’s Canadian fan club was one of The Handmaid’s Tale’s most grimly realistic and cruel surprises. The whole time we were trapped in Gilead with June, we’d been led to see Canada as the promised land. If only June could get over that border, she’d be able to leave the zealotry and false piety behind....
E3 2013 is fast approaching, and with it, an unparalleled surge in speculation. From PR gaffes to outright guesswork, the road to L.A’s convention center is as rocky and rumor-strewn as it gets. Speeding assumptions cross plot-hole potholes, journalists juice on jumper cables and every so often, a truck-full of secrets spills its load. Today’s public relations pile-up involves three games for whom many thought the end of that road had already come: Team Ico’s The Last Guardian, Ubisoft’s Beyond Good & Evil 2 and Idol Mind’s Warrior’s Lair....
The Last of Us 2 has been out for long enough, and Naughty Dog’s focus has turned to the development of the game’s Factions mode. The studio has been hard at work on a standalone multiplayer offering for The Last of Us 2, and with over a year (at least) put into its development, it is odd that not much official info on the multiplayer project has released. However, there may be a good resign behind this....
The Last of Us Part 2 launched earlier this year to astronomical success, both critically and commercially. After becoming the third-highest-grossing title in US PlayStation history, it went on to usurp Final Fantasy 7 Remake as the most completed game on PS4. And now — perhaps based on that success — The Last of Us is getting its own official board game. For those unacquainted with the premise of The Last of Us Part 2, it focuses on Ellie several years after the polarizing denouement of the series’ inaugural title, and tells a harrowing tale of love, loss, and the precarious circumstances that arise from an insatiable desire for revenge....
The Alan Wake franchise has been generating a lot of news this past month, the most recent coming in the form of a developer diary for Alan Wake’s American Nightmare that gives fans a new understanding of what the developer’s goal for the game was. Today we have some new screenshots the whet gamers appetites prior to the game’s release later this month. This may not be Alan Wake 2, but the team over at Remedy Entertainment wants gamers to know that American Nightmare is every bit as good as a full retail release....
Talking to Deadline after his Emmy nomination, Giancarlo Esposito who plays the villiainous Moff Gideon dropped some hints about the role his character and the darksaber play in The Mandalorian’s upcoming second season. Nominated for his work in Better Call Saul, Esposito said “You’ll see more of the darksaber, you’ll get the explanation of this ancient weapon to the modern world, a collapsed world." Although the darksaber was only briefly seen at the end of The Mandalorian’s first season when Moff Gideon uses it to free himself from a TIE Fighter wreckage, it looks like it’ll have a far bigger role to play in the second season....
This The Nevers review contains spoilers. The Nevers Episode 1 Who is The Nevers for? Not kids, clearly. The frolicsome humour, cartoony performances and grade school social commentary might suggest so, but the nudity, cursing and blood say no. It’s meant for adults then, those of us happy to go along with the essential YA-ness of its ‘Victorian orphanage for superpowered misfits’ premise. The new powers, or ‘Turns’ appear related to natural predisposition....
I had to watch the new trailer for Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart several times to really soak it all in. The game looks absolutely stunning, and the trailer gives such a strong impression that the game is going to have a massive scope. People have always said that Ratchet & Clank games are like playing a Pixar movie, but Rift Apart might actually be bigger and better than anything Pixar has to offer....
