Earlier this month, EA made the unexpected call to let players have the classic “closed” weapons ruleset in next week’s Battlefield 6 beta, seemingly contradicting its “open” weapons vision for BF6 that lets any class equip any gun. The unprecedented decision to support two opposing rulesets at once begged a question: Come launch, which format…
Live on stage from a Los Angeles warehouse on Wednesday, EA kicked off its Battlefield 6 multiplayer presentation with a crowd pleaser: Portal is back, and it’s way more powerful. The custom games toolset that debuted in Battlefield 2042 has undergone some serious upgrades that sure make it seem like a proper, Halo Forge-style mode….
We’re all trapped in launcher hell. Right now, as I write this, my taskbar trembles with apps: Steam, Battle.net, Ubisoft Connect, the Epic Game Store. In my start menu lurks another nest: GOG Galaxy, Xbox, EA, the Paradox Launcher. To add insult to injury, pretty much every one of them bar Steam will intermittently forget…
Four hours of Battlefield 6 multiplayer made one thing extremely clear: Battlefield was perfect just the way it was. I’m no Battlefield 2042 hater—in fact, I maintain it got really good—but it proved that the Battlefield formula doesn’t infinitely scale. Double the players was not automatically better, nor was its faux-class system that emphasized flashy…
It took 16 long years, but Plants vs. Zombies is finally coming back. Unveiled during today’s Nintendo Direct showcase (but yes, it’s coming to PC, let’s clear that up straight away), Plants vs. Zombies: Replanted is a full remaster of the original game, “with new levels, fresh twists, and 15 years of never-before-seen franchise history.”…
I don’t think it’s remotely overstating things to say that Destiny 2 is currently in shambles. That much was clear from our review of the recently released Edge of Fate expansion, which scored 54%. “Somehow, Bungie has taken the worst elements of multiple live-service grinds and combined them into something nonsensical that feels terrible to…
You might be familiar with the process of verifying your age in the UK. There’s no shame in that. Age verification is hardly limited to just those sorts of sites—it turns out all manner of content is now age-gated, including information on health topics surrounding addiction. Even Xbox is rolling it out. You don’t have…
This may scandalise some younger readers, but once upon a time you’d turn on the telly and simply watch what was on. The question of what to watch these days has only gotten more complex, with a wealth of streaming services now vying for your eyeballs. Well, Amazon may be touting AI as the answer—I…
On Monday, Capcom published its first quarterly report for its 2025 financial year. While the company showed growing revenues and profits, the report painted a dire picture of the state of Monster Hunter Wilds. During the quarter that ended June 30, Wilds sales had fallen by more than 95% from its launch quarter, leaving the…
Despite building an alternative to Microsoft Office, LibreOffice developer Mike Kaganski still has to deal with Microsoft’s customer support since having his account locked. This led to a familiar tale of fighting a losing battle against customer support services that don’t quite understand what you’re saying. In a blog cheekily titled “Microsoft, anybody home?” (via…
