A match made in Hell The DualSense is my favorite current-generation default controller. I am a huge fan of handheld gaming. By rights, Sony’sjust-announced Project Q, a handheld console that appears to have all the same features as the DualSense, should be right at the top of my hardware wishlist. And yet I feel no warmth towards that little machine at all. That’s because Project Q is not actually a handheld console....
Nintendo are dropping new content in their popular arena-shooterSplatoon 2this week. Yesterday we reported on thereturn of classic map Piranha Pit, while today brings thepainrain with news of the new Sorella Brella weapon. The Sorella Brella is a variant on the classic Splat Brella. Opened, it provides basic protection for the carrier, while constantly dribbling a colourful path. When closed, the Brella allows for messy, unfocused blasts of ink, which can travel quite a distance when combined with a jump....
Perhaps to keep his space wallet from being space pickpocketed We haven’t seen much from the videogame adaptation of the board gameSpace Hulksince itsinitial reveal. During GDC this year, GameSpot was able to see agameplay demo, and it looked rough around the edges, to put it lightly. These screens look decent enough, with dashes of color thanks to muzzle flash, electricity, and gore. The setting is still suitably dreary but bland, for better or for worse....
Blast off! Up to the stars we go There’s an explanation for nearly all action in theStar Warsuniverse, but sometimes you don’t want to lean on reasoning as an excuse to shoot first. Sometimes you do it because it feels right (and because you want to argue about it for the next 40 years). That’s whatStar Wars Battlefront‘s Blast mode is all about — our base desires to kill the opposition without any extraneous objective nonsense getting in the way....
Company co-founder Jenova Chen dishes out some details The practically perfectJourneyhas received no shortage ofcompliments,awardsand cold, hardsales. The latter, one might expect, should have ensured smooth sailing going forward at thatgamecompany, but according to thatgamecompany co-founder Jenova Chen,speaking to Edge, “The company was at the most dangerous time when we finishedJourney.” The Sony salary stopped flowing andJourneyroyalty checks were months out — and there was no guarantee the game would sell as well as did....
Today’s the day. TheBroforce Foreverupdate to Devolver Digital and Free Lives 2015 muscle-hitBroforcehas arrived. Grab your best (or most reliable) bro for some bro-op today. According to the news post about it,Broforce Foreveris the result of years of disappointing attempts at creating further bro content. According to the devs “We had various elaborate ideas for the update – including things such as procedurally generated levels, or a standalone roguelite spinoff version of the game....
You’ve playedGravity Bone, right? If not, you really should. It’s the kind of game you don’t get to play very often. Until, that is, the same creator makes a sequel and releases it unto the world.Thirty Flights of Lovingis that sequel, and it’s now out on Steam for five dollars. Touted as a first-person “short story,”Thirty Flights of Lovingwill make you realize just how terrible other games are at storytelling. I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t jealous of Brendon Chung’s ability to tell such a smart and intriguing story in 15 minutes that most games have a hard time tackling over an eight-hour campaign....
Give it a quick watch before you play the new entry While the late summer/early fall of 2023 has some pretty killer releases lined up; when it comes to near-future releases, I’m arguably most excited forPikmin 4. It looks like Nintendo is shaking up the formula quite a bit, anda new brief video tutorialshowcases just how that’s going to play out in the main fourth entry. Said video tutorial covers the following game mechanics: The latter bit is arguably the most important!...
Though it made me a bit dizzy The PlayStation 4 is coming to us in a matter of weeks. Can you believe it? For me, it’s harder to believe that I’ve been playing with PlayStation consoles since the early 1990s. It’s strange that we can be nostalgic for the brand now. I’m old. This new video from Sony helped me remember how much time I’ve spent in front of a PlayStation....
They didn’t stop to think if they should… The feathered star of HouseHouse’sUntitled Goose Gamecontinues to spread their wings/dominance across the entire medium of video games, with fans having inserted the troublesome bird into many popular titles via creative and amusing fanart. ButResident Evil 2modderAlister/ZombiAli–who you may remember from the notoriousThomas the Tank Engine mod–may be taking things a little too far. ZombiAli’s latest project seeks to replace the terrifying Mr....
If thesuccess ofDay Zhas proven one thing, it’s that a well-made mod can breathe new life into a game. Themassive multiplayer mod forJust Cause 2hasn’t matched the popularity ofDay Z, but it’s got people playingJust Cause 2again, if my Steam friends list is to be believed. If you’ve been holding off buying the game, it’sreduced by 75%this weekend on Steam; also reduced this weekend is the recently releasedGhost Recon: Future Soldier, which has a33% price cut....
Not this again The second of five expansions forBattlefield 4,Second Assault, will be available first for Xbox One players. It’s another one of those timed exclusives that Microsoft is so into, unfortunately. If you want to play the DLC at launch on November 22, your choice of platform is limited. Second Assaultitself is a collection of four “fan-favorite”Battlefield 3maps, remade for the new game. Business as usual for the franchise. As much as I like to see wholly new content, it’s hard to resist replaying maps we know and in most cases love....
Some of my favorite things Zenyatta and Mercy gameplay videos have been posted by the officialOverwatchYouTube channel, and boy does the game look fun! Zenyatta uses his magical floating balls to attack instead of a gun, while Mercy has a magic stick to grant boosts and provide healing to her teammates. Makes sense for a character with a halo and angel wings. The character designs so far inOverwatchare all so cool, and the way the play style differs greatly from one to another reminds me of the best part of MOBAs....
