Grand Theft Horse Online Red Dead Onlinehas arrived and for today’s episode of Impulse, I sat down with Sam Mui fromInfinite Backlogto share our first impressions from the beta! So far, it seems like a brilliant combination of the free-roam insanity found inGrand Theft Auto Onlinemixed with the incredible attention to detail, wildlife, survival busywork, and cinematic narrative from theRed Dead Redemption 2campaign. However,Red Dead Onlineincludes an additional currency in the form of gold bars, with some items and gear tied exclusively to this premium currency....

Ubisoft Montreal took over development on the project from Ubisoft Pune and Ubisoft Mumbailast year....

Monday, 1pm, just how it should be This E3 already feels like the weirdest E3 in recent memory. Sony is doing its own thing, EA decided it doesn’t need a press conference — the show is changing in a way that doesn’t necessarily benefit the ESA. There’s some normalcy though, and there’s a new example today. Ubisoft confirmed it’s hosting its press conference at the same time it always does. Monday, June 10, 1pm Pacific....

From a certain angle, it’s comfy Hey there! I was going to be playingMADiSONtoday, a brand new horror game akin toVisage, as I heard it was released last weekend. Turns out it’s been pushed til next weekend (hopefully) so today I’m pivoting to…Dark Souls II. I’ve always said I put it on pause for a rainy day, and today is that day, both metaphorically and literally. The controls were the hardest part last time I played a few years ago, but I was also a noob....

Good old Tigrex is just like I remember him While a lot of our brave editors managed to crawl out to LA to check outMonster Hunter World: Icebornea few weeks ago, a sizable portion of us may have finally gotten their hands on their own gameplay ofIceborne, courtesy of being PlayStation Plus members. The firstbetashould be over by the time you’re reading this, so hopefully you had plenty of time to get a handle onIceborne‘s mechanics....

Every now and then, Baro Ki’Teer sells mods in his biweekly rotations that you should get immediately. Other times, he hasWarframemods like Peculiar Audience which makes you wonder what it is.

Not only do they help you navigate Palpagos in a much more efficient way, but they also provide something else definitely worth getting –Technology Points. For each fast travel point you unlock, you get one Technology Point, which can then be used to unlock everything from the most basic materials to Pal saddles or weapons from theTechnology Ladder....

Generation Gap In the 25 years since its original inception, thePokémonuniverse has grown from just a handful of lead critters to a ridiculous menagerie of monsters. The designs tend to get a little weirder and more abstract as the developers run low on animals, plants and… erm… fashions to adapt, but each and every evolution is always bursting with life, character, and personality. Even if, like myself, you aren’t a big-timePokémonfan, it can be easy to see elements of yourself in some of the little dudes and dudettes....

At The Game Awards Smash Ultimateis still riding quite high, with weekly events, random online tournaments, and new characters. Steve fromMinecraftwas a huge reveal (and I think the salt dust has settled a bit now), and reinforced the fact that yes: Nintendo can get toanyone. While nothing will probably top the Sonic or Solid Snake reveals in a lot of minds, we still have a few fighters left for Nintendo to show their stuff....

NinjaBee has released a brand-spanking new trailer for the nextcontent expansion forA World of Keflings. The DLC, “Sugar and Spice and Not So Nice,” is candy themed, the result of a contest held earlier in the year. The sticky setting won out over “Pirate” and “Graveyard” themes, but it looks like the developer is hedging their bets a little bit with a tease of a zombie in the video’s closing seconds....
