Marvel vs. Capcom: Infinite comes six years after Marvel vs. Capcom 3: Fate of Two Worlds hit store shelves, which means expectations are high for the title to push the franchise forward. Unfortunately, Marvel vs. Capcom: Infinite doesn’t quite hit the mark, and in many ways feels like a step backward. The first thing players will notice about Marvel vs. Capcom: Infinite is its lackluster graphics. Animations are fine and the game runs smooth for the most part, but character models leave a lot to be desired....

The video game developer BioWare releases a humorous video confirming actor and comedian Kumail Nanjiani’s role as a “space frog” in Mass Effect: Andromeda. Just yesterday, the developers for Mass Effect: Andromeda gave fans of the forthcoming science fiction shooter a better look at some of the ancillary characters in the game by releasing several screenshots of the Krogan and Asari companions that will accompany players during their adventures in the title....

A veces, la compra de una videoconsola puede parecer más importante de lo que realmente es: si crees a las hordas de Twitter y otras redes sociales, es como si estuvieras prometiendo fidelidad eterna a una consola por encima de cualquier otra. Xbox Serie X vs PS5: la batalla de las potencias La realidad es muy distinta, por supuesto, y poseer más de una consola está totalmente permitido y es recomendable....

Since Microsoft first announced the Xbox One X last year (then known as Project Scorpio), gamers have compared the upcoming console to the power available with PC gaming. Now, according to Microsoft, it seems that’s exactly what the team at Xbox is hoping gamers feel about the Xbox One X. In an interview with MCVUK, Xbox Operations head Dave McCarthy shared his vision on what the Xbox One X should play like, saying it will bring an overall “premium PC experience” to the console world....

Ever since the console was announced, DRM has been a prickly issue for Microsoft’s Xbox One. The controversial plan to kill off the used games market via a licence system was one of the first U-turns that the company made with regards to the system leading up to its release — but last week we saw a possible resurgence of the dreaded DRM. Reports began to circulate that Far Cry 4 had been delisted from the Xbox Live Marketplace early last week — and, more pressingly, some players who had bought the title digitally now found that they couldn’t access their downloaded copy....

For the longest time, PC gamers interested in trying out Microsoft exclusives like Recore: Definitive Edition who were wary of using the Windows store had no other option, as those games weren’t available on other digital distribution platforms like Steam. However, a recent announcement from the company revealed that is about to change. Microsoft is teaming up with THQ Nordic to help bring some of its exclusive titles to Steam. Right now, only a handful of games are being made available through the platform....

Months after its announcement, Xbox Game Studios and Asobo Studio revealed that the highly-anticipated Microsoft Flight Simulator will have standard, deluxe, and premium editions when it releases August 18. These different Microsoft Flight Simulator editions have varying amounts of content for those who purchase the game digitally on PC. However, it was also announced that there will be two boxed physical versions that each include 10 discs. The physical release of Microsoft Flight Simulator in Europe is being handled by Aerosoft, a developer and publisher that focuses primarily on simulation games as a whole....

Minecraft Dungeons gives players numerous ways to customize their builds, and because of the fast moving pace and forgiving nature of the game, players will have the opportunity to experiment with a lot of different play styles. There are some artifacts that are just too good to pass up which lend towards certain play styles, and it is possible to tailor a build towards a certain role that players enjoy in other games as well....

As with all video game movies, Monster Hunter has to have homages. They owe that much to the fans of the franchise who will readily watch the film no matter the stigma regarding video game movies. The Monster Hunter movie was sadly not an exception from such controversies and it came out piping hot— hot enough to get pulled out of cinemas due to bad reception from the Chinese audience....

Jared Leto made his first appearance as the Joker in director David Ayer’s Suicide Squad film for Warner Bros. and DC. Now, Leto will reprise his role as the classic Batman villain in the Zack Snyder cut of Justice League for HBO Max. After roughly two years of petitioning Warner Bros. to release Zack Snyder’s cut of Justice League, participants in the fan campaign received their wish when the filmmaker announced his edition of the DC film will be released on HBO Max in 2021....

A great JRPG is like a fine wine that’s been imported from Japan. The greatest of the genre get better with age and prove their systems to be utterly timeless. Their characters are on par with that of a Greek Tragedy, even if most of their final bosses typically end up becoming insanely over-powered, god-eating beings. However, as time progresses and tastes change JRPGs have begun to streamline much of the more tedious aspects that have turned some off from them in the past....

Epic wanted to take a bite out of Apple, but we suspect this is one worm they didn’t expect to sink their teeth into. Today, Apple has issued formal counterclaims against Epic’s lawsuit. In the claims, which are public and can be viewed here, Apple paints Epic as a greedy corporation feeling a tad salty over the millions of dollars they’ve made off of Fortnite. In the document’s brutal opening salvo, the tech giant lays Epic’s Battle Bus bare....

Some sad news for many Call of Duty players out there. Looks like Treyarch has officially nerfed the jump-shotting technique in the multiplayer mode of Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War. This technique has long been a subject for debate with players and this decision will surely be just as divisive. For those who don’t know, jump-shotting is a rather advanced technique in the multiplayer mode of Call of Duty games where players can make themselves harder to shoot....

Jurassic World: Dominion star Jeff Goldblum has revealed that there are post-production changes afoot for the movie’s plot which are being deliberately designed to make it more meaningful in a post-pandemic era. Goldblum, who has reprised his role as Dr. Ian Malcolm for the upcoming dino sequel alongside Chris Pratt, Bryce Dallas Howard, Sam Neill and Laura Dern, says that his Jurassic Park mathematician has always been vocal about the kind of scientific outlook and philosophy that has become a focus for many people during the events of 2020....

Stories of a troubled production and accusations continue to swirl around Justice League three years after its release, and one of the film’s directors is making his first public statement about the controversy. Following Ray Fisher’s recent claims in a Forbes interview, Joss Whedon, who oversaw the superhero movie’s reshoots, is responding. Prior to the recent interview, Fisher began drawing public attention in July to what he has called a toxic work environment on the Justice League reshoots....

The Legend of Zelda: Majora’s Mask remains one of the tightest entries in the series. Its focus on small scale humanism versus grand fantasy cataclysm is one of the boldest creative risks the franchise has taken to date. Only Spirit Tracks’ willingness to straight-up kill Zelda and Link’s Awakening’s mindfuck of an ending come close to matching it in terms of off-kilter originality. What helps to accomplish this small scale are the myriad inhabitants of Clock Town, who all play a huge part in the game’s narrative....

Speaking at GDC, Cliff Bleszinski explains that LawBreakers will now be a premium title exclusive to Steam, rather than a free-to-play game as previously promised. Cliff Bleszinski, lead designer of the Gears of War franchise, has kept fans eagerly awaiting his new studio’s first title, LawBreakers, especially since the game was announced to be free-to-play. However, plans change, and Bleszinski has now announced that the studio is scrapping the free-to-play model for the game....

Leaked footage of Overdose (the rumored new project from Hideo Kojima) has appeared online, and it already has some fans thinking of P.T./Silent Hills. First off, let’s be very clear that the leaked footage in question is about as unofficial as it gets. At the time of this writing, there has been no official word regarding the leaked footage’s authenticity. Furthermore, the footage itself is quite strange. It looks like a recording of an internal demo captured via cell phone by what appears to be a notably shirtless man....

A trailer that was leaked on Reddit shows off new operators for the next season of DLC expansion for Rainbow Six Siege.

It was released back in 2015 and is famous for its chaotic environmental destruction in a variety of exciting game modes....

A leaked image from canceled Star Wars game Star Wars 1313 seems to confirm rumors that it would have been about Boba Fett. The game was officially canceled in 2013, when Disney announced that it would be closing LucasArts, the Star Wars 1313 developer. On Reddit, a user named LifeByTheSword has shared an image showing some sort of bounty hunter character standing on a ledge. The user says that it shows Boba Fett “in the underworld of Coruscant....
