Elon Musk is again at the center of controversy after posting art from Nier Automata, without properly crediting the artist, and then outright refusing to do so when asked. Over the weekend, Musk posted the art with a caption that reads “2b," and then added in another tweet, “wd b…2 make real.” Soon after, a user tagged Musk and wrote, “credit the artist elon,” which sparked an odd set of replies....
Certainly each edition of the Emmy Awards is special to those involved, but the 2020 Emmys promise to be particularly unique. Due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, the Academy of Television Arts and Sciences is unable to host the Award show in-person per usual. Instead they are holding a socially-distanced version of the event with all participants partaking in the festivities remotely. And just to make things even more unprecedented, ATAS is expanding its coverage of the typically understated Creative Arts Emmys portion of the proceedings....
The Epic Games Store is now three months old, and while it has made progress improving its feature-set in certain areas, like refunds and regional pricing, it looks as if other areas are glaringly underdeveloped. It turns out that account security seems to be one of them. Reports are coming in that Epic accounts tied to valid emails are being created fraudulently, yet users don’t seem to be receiving verification emails upon account creation....
This past week, Epic Games unveiled Unreal Engine 5 with the stunning Lumen in the Land of Nanite tech demo, itself running on Sony’s PlayStation 5 console. The presentation was one of the most impressive displays of next-generation technology to date, but fans noticed that the demo made no mention of Microsoft’s next-generation console, the Xbox Series X. And as it so happens, neither Microsoft nor Epic will outright confirm if the Lumen in the Land of Nanite demo can run on Xbox Series X....
It’s hard to understate how much 2000’s X-Men influenced the modern Marvel movie landscape. Today, the black leather costumes and comic-inaccurate casting (why is Wolverine so tall?) seem quaint, but in 2000 the movie successfully helped the viewing public transition from The Matrix to more straightforward comic movies like Spider-Man. In fact, the biggest embarrassment for X-Men is its director Bryan Singer, who has been the subject of many sexual abuse allegations....
At some point or another, everyone had the game Angry Birds downloaded onto their phones or tablets. This simple but addicting game allows players to help a group of birds. Some evil pigs steal their precious eggs and plan to gobble them up. It’s up to players to launch the birds at various structures and harm the pigs to retrieve their eggs. Fans of Angry Birds likely remember the very first game....
Last year saw the release of Marvel’s Avengers, and while the game hasn’t taken the world by storm as Square Enix might have hoped, it’s still going full-steam ahead in the game’s post-launch content, including DLC characters. This post-launch content may end up reviving the game to an extent, hopefully putting Avengers in the same category as games like No Man’s Sky and Final Fantasy 14. It’s important to note that very few of these characters have been confirmed additions on the way for Marvel’s Avengers....
Fortnite’s v14.20 update drops today and it will include a Wolverine boss, third birthday celebrations, and a brand new LTM mode. The fourth season of Marvel’s second chapter might well have been the most action-packed season in Fortnite history thus far. Today marks the beginning of week five and the arrival of another pretty big update. Epic doesn’t offer up official patch notes anymore, but we have already discovered some of the biggest changes brought about by the patch....
God of War: Fallen God is a new 4-part comic book mini-series set between God of War 3 and the rebooted God of War 2018. The series, by Chris Roberson, Tony Parker, and Dan Jackson, will account for the time between the two games and show how Kratos made his way from Ancient Egypt to Midgar. The first issue, released March 10, revealed quite a few details about Kratos’s life after God of War 3, as well as a few surprises....
If there’s one thing CD Projekt Red is aiming for with Cyberpunk 2077, it’s immersing players as best it can in the world of cyberpunk fantasy. The world of Night City is sprawling and filled with tons of unique characters, each with a story to be told. Every little bit of Cyberpunk lore has been pumped into this game to be a true simulation of the game’s source material. The player’s character is particularly important for immersion as well, and this area is where Cyberpunk is giving players plenty of freedom in tailoring to their preferences....
It’s that time of year again when the Alliance and Horde stop their fussin’ and focus on the important things in life, which is finding chocolate eggs for Easter-themed prizes in World of Warcraft. The event is live now and will run through April 19, and as always there is plenty to do and several prizes to acquire. Where Is The Noblegarden Event? If this is the first time a player is searching for special eggs, it can seem a little overwhelming....
Fall Guys burst onto the gaming scene earlier this Summer and since then Mediatonic’s last-man-standing game has broken records while plans for future content have begun to materialize. Recently fans received a brief taste of Season 2 action and now publisher Devolver Digital is showing a little more to players. The medieval-themed new season of Fall Guys was revealed during Gamescom with a trailer that highlighted new skins, a fresh season pass, and perhaps most excitingly, new levels....
Bethesda’s Todd Howard recently commented on the on-going debate about The Elder Scrolls 6 and Xbox Series X exclusivity. The fate of that game has dominated most of the Microsoft-Bethesda conversation, and rightfully so. The future of Microsoft’s Bethesda acquisition will indubitably have a huge impact on the gaming industry, but there’s one more worth re-iterating time and again—Fallout: New Vegas 2. Under Microsoft, Bethesda is in a unique position with Obsidian Entertainment to define the future of Fallout....
The USS Constitution quest is one of the most memorable experiences in Fallout 4 both because of the characters that are introduced in the form of robots and raiders and also because of the explorable ship, which creates one of the best atmospheres in the entire game. Players that want to find out more about the USS Constitution, both the ship and the quest, may be wondering if there’s anything they missed while completing this side mission....
Another Fallout 4 battle releases, this time recreating a different post-apocalyptic world. The War Against the Machines comes to Boston, pitting Terminators against Minutemen. Fallout 4 battles bring together massive quantities of enemy factions from the Fallout universe and pit them against each other in wars that a player would never normally see during a regular playthrough of the game. In the latest of the Fallout 4 Battles, however, the creator has taken some inspiration from another post-apocalyptic world and brought its war to life in Fallout 4....
In a series of tweets, Bethesda exec Pete Hines announces that the physical PC version of Fallout 4 does not contain the entire game, and requires Steam to play. Bethesda executive Pete Hines took to his Twitter account today to answer some questions regarding the upcoming Fallout 4, with the answers surprising some fans. While Hines initially only announced that the game could be downloaded directly from Steam if a gamer’s PC lacked a DVD drive, he went on to clarify that the physical disc itself doesn’t contain the entire game....
The Fallout 76 beta is currently taking place on PC, giving fans an opportunity to test out the game for themselves and see how well the jump to online multiplayer has gone. But the beta is also allowing players to uncover various bugs and technical issues with the game and the latest is both disastrous and hilarious. PC players have discovered that by changing a few lines of code in the game’s files, they are able to unlock the framerate....
Fallout 76 is set to be the next major launch of this very busy fall, so it makes sense that Bethesda would want to release a few ads to drum up some excitement for the game’s more general audience. This time, the developer/publisher opted to release a live action trailer, and it’s pretty weird. The trailer takes a bit more of a psychedelic approach in the beginning, as it pans over one of the game’s giant sloth enemies....
The Dead Money DLC in New Vegas has one of the most interesting stories in all of the game. It’s fascinating that there are so many secrets in the DLC and around every corner of the ancient casino there are hidden things to be found. There are so many things in the DLC that players missed and this list will show players a few of them. From the ghost people’s origin to the secret ending, here are ten things that players didn’t know about the Dead Money expansion pack!...
The gaming community sure has mixed feelings about Destiny. Don’t believe it? Just look at the comments section of practically any article about the game. Sure, Destiny has a ton of players (over 20 million, at last count) who remain slavishly dedicated to Bungie’s sci-fi shooter. But the game also has its fair share of detractors, who claim that Bungie over-promised and under-delivered, and who argue that the developer doesn’t always act in the best interest of its fans....
