Konami has confirmed it will be partnering up with Bloober Team to create new IPs and also continue to work on existing ones. This week is starting to feel like one fueled by acquisitions and collaborations in the video game industry. 24 hours after PlayStation Studios acquired Housemarque, and may have accidentally revealed it also owns Bluepoint, Konami and Bloober Team have announced they will be working together in the future....
This article contains Last Night in Soho spoilers. Our spoiler-free review is here. It takes less than a minute to realize just how much Thomasin McKenzie’s Eloise adores the ‘60s in Last Night in Soho. Strutting into her childhood bedroom as Peter and Gordon’s “A World Without Love” plays (on vinyl, of course), the star of the new Edgar Wright movie is wrapped up in a dress she made out of newspapers—one might even speculate she’d use vintage ‘60s NME magazine covers if she could afford it....
A new leak suggests that Black Ops: Cold War is a direct sequel to Black Ops 1 and will be bringing Frank Woods along for the ride. Speculation has been swirling since the release of the ARG—pawn takes pawn—as to whether this new Black Ops game will be set in the distant past or in the modern era. It appears that no matter which side you were on, you were half right....
Lego is launching its first-ever LGBTQ+ set next month which will feature all the colors of the rainbow and more to demonstrate its inclusivity. Lego has been in our lives for almost a century and its tiny bricks are recognized the world over. Just about everything has been given the Lego treatment. Star Wars, Marvel, Lego video games, there are even Lego movies. It must be reaching a point now where the minds behind Lego’s creations are starting to struggle to come up with fresh ideas....
In 1995 a boy named Andy received a toy for his birthday: Buzz Lightyear, Space Ranger. The toy had electronic parts, flashing lights, and far more catchphrases than the cowboy, which had previously been Andy’s favorite toy. And in a movie where toys come to life, Buzz Lightyear didn’t realize he was a toy at all, believing he was a real Space Ranger, stuck on a strange new planet. For Toy Story fans, this is a tale that’s been familiar for two decades—but what fans have never gotten to experience is Andy’s favorite movie, the film that inspired the toy....
Lost Ark is quickly proving to be one of Steam’s biggest hits of 2022, but the game’s complicated release structure has many people wondering what time the red hot title will fully be released and when they’ll be able to join the millions that are already exploring the game that has a lot of people talking. Originally released (in full) in South Korea in 2019, Lost Ark is an MMORPG with Diablo-like ARPG combat....
Hangar 13 and 2K unleash the launch trailer for the highly anticipated Mafia 3, navigating the game’s New Orleans setting and showing off its seedy underbelly. Mafia 3 is one of the most surprising games of 2016, and it hasn’t even released yet. The hotly anticipated title is receiving a lot of coverage that is heralding it as the game that will finally make good on all the promise that its predecessors showed but ultimately failed to capitalize on....
PUBG Corp’s hugely popular battle royale game, PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds, has received several major additions over the last few weeks. For example, the game introduced a limited time game mode called War which sees three teams of 10 players battle it out against one another to control Erangel. There is also the new spectate killer mode which lets players follow the player who took them out. While these were significant, the latest PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds update eclipses that by a wide margin, introducing several major new gameplay features....
To say that the shocking death of Chadwick Boseman left the world a lesser place is an understatement. For the sake of privacy, the star of Da Five Bloods and Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom kept his colon cancer diagnosis a secret from most of the world, which means his passing at the age of 43 shocked not only those who knew and loved him, but also his co-workers who saw nothing but a bright future for the immensely talented actor....
10 Attack On New York City Due to the 9/11 attack in New York City, the ending to Metal Gear Solid 2 had to be changed at the last minute. This means that footage and or documents of said ending can be found online like on Unseen64. The original plot had Arsenal Gear plow through downtown NYC, destroying the Statue of Liberty in the process. While it didn’t have towers crumbling down, having an attack in NYC was still eerily too similar for what would become a November 2001 launch....
Fans of the niche Metal Max and Metal Saga franchise have a lot to be excited about today. Success, the current publisher of the Metal Max franchise, held an event on Friday for Metal Max’s 30th Anniversary. The event was teased as a thank you to fans, but ended up revealing a huge variety of upcoming Metal Max plans, the most exciting of which being the announcement of Project Wolf, the newest game in the Metal Saga series....
Artyom from Metro Exodus isn’t called a Spartan for no reason. On top of having lived through the squalid conditions of the Metro in three games, he’s saved the world more than once — mostly single-handedly. But Ranger Hardcore mode in Metro Exodus is quite a test of one’s skills, even for a Spartan like Artyom. It’s by far the most realistic mode of gameplay for Metro Exodus, and it essentially renders Artyom as fragile as someone would be in real life....
As Microsoft readies its annual E3 2017 press conference for its new time on Sunday, June 11, the big ticket item on most people’s minds is Project Scorpio. While fans have yet to see the new console in action, Microsoft did reveal hardware specs earlier this year, confirming its claims as having the most powerful console available. Recently however, it seems the engineers at Microsoft were able to further increase that power, providing additional resources to developers....
One of the best things about Middle-earth: Shadow of War is the fantastic cast of orcs (some of which are voiced by recognizable celebrities) that Talion is able to recruit to his army. Death is always right around the corner in Mordor though and sometimes an orc that you know and love can end up on the wrong side of a spear or axe. Luckily, there is a way to help your orc captains recover from death… But there is a high cost....
Following today’s official reveal of Middle-earth: Shadow of War by way of an announcement trailer, video game publisher Warner Bros. Interactive has now officially declared its intentions to release a special package for its forthcoming game inspired by The Lord of the Rings franchise called the Mithril Edition, and it’s set to cost a whopping $300. This news comes shortly after fans of the series learned over the weekend by way of a leak from Target that there definitely will be a sequel, and it will get another special iteration called the Gold Edition priced at $100....
Wool is an interesting block in Minecraft. It’s primarily a decorative block meant to spruce up a place or to craft decorative items like Banners, Beds, Carpets, and Paintings. On a more practical level, it’s a very inefficient form of renewable fuel for Furnaces or it can be traded with Villagers for Emeralds. Any player building with aesthetics in mind will likely want a steady supply of wool in all its various shades....
In Minecraft, you can do pretty much anything, including fish. Oftentimes, fishing is overlooked though; it takes too long and the rare items are hard to come by. Fortunately, you can make your own AFK fishing farm. Making an AFK fishing farm is incredibly easy, and the rewards are definitely worth it. In addition to getting fish, you will gain a lot of experience. Instead of spending a long time fishing, make this AFK fishing farm!...
Recently, Game Rant had the opportunity to talk with Minecraft’s Lead Gameplay Developer, Agnes Larsson, to get some insight on the Nether Update which released today. In sharing her thoughts on the update, Larsson revealed her incredible passion for the game she has worked so hard on. Minecraft is the highest selling game of all time, so it is no surprise that even now, 11 years later, the game is getting regular content updates on a yearly basis....
Many years removed from its release, Minecraft still delivers an exciting world of building and fending off monsters in a vast environment made up of blocks, and is still able to captivate the interest of gamers from all walks of life thanks to substantial updates. Now, a new update of the game seemed to have quietly scrubbed off any mention of Minecraft’s creator, Markus Persson, also known as Notch. Prior to the introduction of the latest update, Minecraft’s splash screens would display messages mentioning the creator such as “Made by Notch!...
It’s no secret that Cyberpunk 2077 launched in a disappointing, broken state in 2020, and CD Projekt RED has spent the last two years playing catch-up to fix a myriad of issues. This work has primarily consisted of patches that cleaned up bugs, made tweaks to gameplay, and added missing features. The just-released Patch 1.6, for example, adds cross-platform saves, a tool for installing mods, and a transmog system for your character’s wardrobe....
