There isn’t really anything new in the third episode relative to the second episode. The main point of interest remains Sealeo, although now, Pokémon Concierge is more concerned with Uncle Dan, the old, retired guy who now works at the resort solely because it’s an environment he considers appropriate for Sealeo’s energy level. There’s…
The Battlefield 6 beta felt like a throwback to an older era of Battlefield in all sorts of ways, but one of the big ones was its generous spotting mechanic: Slap that Q button in the general direction of a bad guy and their head got tagged with a scarlet “Dorito,” making them visible and…
Between a systemic overhaul that the playerbase hates, and a list of bugs that frankly beggar belief, Destiny 2 is currently in perhaps the worst shape of its history. Which, if you’ve been paying attention to the game’s ability to self-immolate, is truly something. And yet Bungie still seems determined to find new ways to…
Speaking to IGN in a recent interview, Battlefield Studios developers said that Battlefield 6 has been built from the start with console players in mind, going so far as to describe their approach as “secretly console first.” I’d joke that we should keep our torches and pitchforks stowed, because there is some mitigating context to…
Game developers, generally speaking, don’t like leaks. Infinity Nikki studio Infold, for instance, recently described leaks as “poison to all creation.” That’s maybe a bit much, but it does capture the broad sentiment: When you’re working on something that’s meant to be a surprise, and someone blows that surprise, it sucks. Developers do what they…
Borderlands 4 has had a complicated launch. Initial critical response was fairly positive, but some sites—including PC Gamer—didn’t receive pre-release code and were unable to offer their own opinions at launch. And once the clock hit go time, early Steam reviews were dominated by reports of performance issues and crashes that we experienced in our…
Starstruck. It’s been a busy day thanks to Nintendo’s huge hour-long Direct, but the Japanese broadcast still managed to have a surprise in store for us — Mega Man Star Force: Legacy Collection. Coming to Switch in 2026, Capcom announced the collection via the Japanese showcase, but also dropped an English trailer, confirming we’d be…
The vibe shift on goofy cosmetics in live service games is impossible to ignore at this point. Call of Duty has issued a full reversal on its plans to allow fantastical skins in Black Ops 7 after heavy backlash, and today, Battlefield 6 developers reaffirmed their commitment to not ending up like Fortnite. “We want…
Star Citizen may not be the most famously overdue videogame of all time, but it has to be a top-five contender, especially given that it is now just shy of $865 million (and no, there’s not an errant zero in there, that’s eight-hundred and sixty-five million smackeroos) raised in crowdfunding. Developer Cloud Imperium Games recently…
In what feels like a common occurrence these days, some new DLC for a game came out and was quickly followed up with an apology from the developer. Paradox did it earlier this week for Crusader Kings 3, and now it’s Funcom’s turn with Dune: Awakening, which just released its first post-launch DLC, Lost Harvest….
