In March, the project’s lead producer Chris Lena revealed players can participate in the game’s two alpha tests before launch. The first wave will be dedicated to the single-player experience only, while the second stress test for the online multiplayer mode will happen at a later date. It seems fans won’t have to wait long to go hands-on with the reworked game, as the first single-player alpha is about to begin....
The Walt Disney Company has recently revealed its fourth quarter earnings report, which has offered up some interesting new numbers on exactly how well they’ve been doing in the streaming wars. As it turns out, while their services haven’t quite hit Netflix numbers, they’re a real contender, and well on their way to evening the odds. According to the report, Disney+ is at about 73.7 million subscribers, Hulu has 36.6, and ESPN+ adds about 10....
We have all seen the wonderful memes of Isabelle helping Doom Guy with his mission. The happy dog always looks so thrilled to be taking down the monsters in Hell while her towering best friend relaxes in the grassy countryside. Many players even wonder if the characters should swap games for a few days to get a vacation from their normal lives. While Hell may not seem like a place for Isabelle, there are quite a few things that make us feel like this seemingly sweet character would enjoy her time there a little too much....
BioWare was once a leader in the video game industry, releasing critically-acclaimed hits like Baldur’s Gate, Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic, and the groundbreaking Mass Effect trilogy. However, the studio’s latest efforts have been met with poor reviews, with Anthem in particular a failure for the studio. Unfortunately for BioWare fans upset by Anthem, there are some reports that its next game, Dragon Age 4, may be “Anthem with dragons....
With the groundbreaking success of Mass Effect Legendary Edition, fans were hoping BioWare would take centre stage this summer, but alas, the wait for more Dragon Age news continues. BioWare is skipping EA Play this month, meaning we won’t hear anything about either Mass Effect 5 or Dragon Age 4 for some time. Dragon Age 4 executive producer Christian Dailey took to Twitter to apologize to fans. He explained that the team has their “heads down with a lot of momentum”, and will share more “when the time [is] right”....
BioWare has made an interesting point of focusing on the new protagonist of its upcoming fantasy RPG Dragon Age 4. In both the games’ Gamescom video and the teaser trailer released earlier this month at The Game Awards 2020, the studio made it clear that the new player character would be the storytelling center of the next game, exploring “what happens when you don’t have power” and creating a main character with “no magic hand [and] no ancient prophecy” to back them up....
The Iron Bull from BioWare’s Dragon Age is an unusual addition to the Inquisitor’s team, but not an unwelcome one. Tons of players loved his boisterous attitude, free sexuality, and unconventional outlook on life having come from the Qunari homeland. In fact, he’s sparked discussion about what a female Qunari companion in the next Dragon Age installment could – or should – be like. An unusual companion attracted lots of unusual attention online until he and his nonchalant personality became a staple of Dragon Age memes....
As anticipation for Dragon Ball FighterZ continues to build, Namco Bandai has been satiating gamers by slowly dripping information about the forthcoming fight title. At Gamescom this past week the publisher confirmed that the Androids will be joining the fight in FighterZ, and now the company has decided to showcase the Super Saiyan Blue versions of Goku and Vegeta that’ll be appearing in the game. Both variants of the heroes are available as unlockable characters (or potentially skins as Namco Bandai hasn’t confirmed one way or the other what form SSB Goku and Vegeta will arrive in) but those that preorder Dragon Ball FighterZ will receive a code to unlock them shortly after booting the game up....
Warner Bros.’ official trailer for Dune offered moviegoers their first glimpse at director Denis Villeneuve’s vision for author Frank Herbert’s novel. Director Alejandro Jodorowsky, who attempted to adapt Dune into a feature film before David Lynch eventually took on the project, has now shared his own thoughts on the preview and the filmmaker evidently has concerns about the new version. Jodorowsky, a French-Chilean avant-garde filmmaker then known for films including El Topo and The Holy Mountain, was attached to a direct an adaptation of Dune after the rights to the novel were acquired by a French consortium under the leadership producer Jean-Paul Gibon in 1974....
According to GamesIndustry.biz, physical sales for Dungeons & Dragons: Dark Alliance were 96% PlayStation, with 54% on PS5 and 42% on PS4. That means only 4% of physical sales made were for Xbox, an unprecedented split. This doesn’t factor in digital data or Xbox Game Pass, hence the emphasis on physical sales. However, even still, such a majority hold from one platform over the other even in physical sales is rare....
HROT is an upcoming indie produced retro shooter that appears to be a hybrid of games like Metro and Quake set in a dark and terrifying world. The game takes place in 1986 Czechoslovakia shortly after some unknown disaster that left the world covering in smog, grit, and filled with nightmares. The player is part of a military readiness initiative and must defend the homeland from enemies like war-torn soldiers, autonomous robots, deranged attack dogs, and horses wearing gas masks....
Whether it’s online or sitting on your couch, cooperative games have always been a big hit. From shooting zombies in Left 4 Dead, tackling bandits in the Borderlands series, or maybe just messing around in Minecraft, playing with friends makes almost any game a much better time. This E3 showed an unusual trend in co-op games: the rise of the three-player co-op game. Thre is kind of a weird number for a game, as the standard has either been two players or four players....
Electronic Arts reveals its plans for E3 2017, with the publisher once more putting on its own pre-E3 event by running EA Play in the days ahead of the expo. For last year’s E3, publisher Electronic Arts decided to do things a little bit differently. Rather than sticking purely to the floor show for the beloved expo, the company instead decided to open things up to the public a little more, launching an event called EA Play....
The best mixed martial artists usually specialize in one particular area. There are high-level strikers like Anderson Silva, Israel Adesanya, and Conor McGregor. Or you can go with top-level wrestling practitioners and takedown artists like Daniel Cormier, Kamaru Usman, and George St-Pierre. Finally, there the submission specialists that are usually proficient in grappling, Judo, and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. There’s often a chess match-like rivalry between the best wrestlers and BJJ artists when it comes to the ground game....
Earth Defense Force 5 is finally making its way to PC after landing on consoles late last year. It will be available for purchase through Steam on Thursday, July 11th. Many people may not be familiar with the title, as it isn’t exactly the most popular series around. The first game in the series launched way back in 2003, titled Monster Attack, and was available on Playstation 2. Since then, there have been five more games released in the main series....

As a franchise that has sold over 58 million titles, the Elder Scrolls series features many spin-offs which supplement the main five entries. One of these games, The Elder Scrolls: Blades has been in development for some time, but early access on iOS and Android mobile devices allowed fans to try out gameplay in 2019.

In-game trash talk with strangers normally isn’t that impressive, but this elderly GTA RP’s retorts were well and truly next level. Grand Theft Auto is one of the most successful franchises in gaming history. The most recent chapter of the game, GTA V, has sold incredibly well. Not only is it the best-selling GTA title of all time, but it is the third best selling game ever. Only Tetris and Minecraft currently have it beat when it comes to units sold....

The final update for Enter the Gungeon will be called A Farewell to Arms and it will include two new characters, a new regular enemy, new weapons, new items, and a new secret floor with a special boss monster. (via....
When the outlandish shooter Bulletstorm released last year it showcased a combination of Epic Games’ trademark insane action and developer People Can Fly’s proclivity for pushing the envelope. It wasn’t exactly something wholly original, but what Bulletstorm did offer was an intense 10-hour gameplay experience that felt rare amongst today’s first person shooters. Needless to say, fans were hoping for a sequel. Unfortunately, as revealed by Epic President Mike Capps, that Bulletstorm sequel might not be happening, or at least it’s not the next thing People Can Fly is working on....
