Need For Speed Heat was just announced this past week, after months of waiting and speculation about the future of the iconic racing game brand. A big part of that announcement was the reveal that the game will have an in-depth car customization system, including skins and other tweaks. This raised quite a few alarm
With the overall trend of hype and promotion surrounding Borderlands 3 and the rest of the franchise, some fans have been disappointed by the latest bit of news about the loot shooter, as it concerns the DRM software solution Gearbox has chosen. So while Gearbox CEO Randy Pitchford has been a particular source of disdain
According to The Washington Post, the White House announced a delay in the rollout of the planned 10% tariffs on some Chinese-manufactured goods, after months of ongoing trade disputes between the US and China, sparked by the fiery ultra-nationalist rhetoric of President Donald Trump. The push to attack the Chinese economy pushed by the Trump administration
Quantic Dream, the French development studio famous for interactive storytelling experiences like Detroit: Become Human and Heavy Rain, has some news for fans. And it’s actually some really good news for those that have not played their games before. During a recent interview with DualShockers, studio head David Cage revealed that future titles by the
You’re probably tired of hearing about G2A, so how about a joke? OK, not a joke really, but we can still laugh at the latest punching bag of the games industry, G2A. G2A has been the subject of much controversy lately, as a slew of criticism over their poor handling of credit card fraud, chargebacks
One of the worlds biggest streamers, Tyler “Ninja” Blevins, has been hit with more problems as he looks toward the future. The streamer recently made a deal with Microsoft to stream exclusively on Mixer. Out of this deal, he immediately put his channel into an inactive state, hiding his content on the service. Apparently, Twitch
In a rather unexpected and interesting move, Valve has decided to flex its muscle, now requiring approval from its own moderation team before Steam Workshop items are approved. But don't freak out yet, it's only certain games that are affected by this policy shift, so far.
Earlier this week, the ESA and several major gaming companies came together to promise a series of changes to the microtransaction ecosystem in modern video games. The idea was that these companies would band together to self-police their games and platforms by making multiple changes to how loot boxes and other monetization are handled. One
Update: ESPN will in fact be airing the tournament, the decision has been explained as, “The decision was made out of respect for the victims and all those impacted in the immediate aftermath of the shootings and it seemed the prudent thing to do given the swirl of that moment.” Here are the rescheduled air
Twitch has been consistently growing and dominant within livestreaming as a scene, and it’s easy to see why. The ease of both viewing and broadcasting gives Twitch an easy in to the free time of millions of gamers. Now, with the launch of a new software tool, it looks like the broadcasting side of things
This is a general PSA to both my readers and advertisers, AdClerks, the third-party company I have been using to sell ad space on ISKMogul, is no longer paying out money owed to publishers like ISKMogul. In the last two months, more than $150 in ad sales was accrued through their service. But starting back
As the public and legislative pressure surrounding microtransactions and loot boxes grows, so too does the impetus to do something about the problem that they present. More and more gamers are starting to wake up to the fact that loot boxes are just gambling. And even though some entities and companies still have their head
So in a rather sad turn of events, the games industry and consumers have once again shown an ugly face to the world. Glumberland, the developer behind the quirky farming and life sim, Ooblets, announced that the PC version of the game would be an Epic exclusive. Within the announcement post, the developer included some
Once again, US President Donald Trump is scapegoating violence in entertainment and mental illness to downplay his own influence in far-right radicalization and the stochastic terrorism it often inspires. Stochastic Terrorism is often defined as “lone wolf” attacks made for a political cause, personal gain or other motivation, they often appear random, but an incredibly
Speaking at the Television Critics Association during the press tour for comedy series Kidding, Jim Carrey gave a rather frank opinion of the ongoing work to redesign the look of the Sonic the Hedgehog film adaptation’s main character. That same design was rather hated by fans who thought the original version of the iconic blue
Capcom is working on something behind closed doors, and Resident Evil fans are really excited over it. Capcom held a meeting with the Resident Evil Ambassadors in late June, talking over future plans with their hardcore fans of the iconic zombie franchise. And now, the company is openly beginning to recruit for an in-progress game based on
It’s been a while hasn’t it capsuleer comrades? About six months ago I published a piece that was essentially me expressing my desire to hop back into the grand space opera that is EVE Online. We ran through some of my earliest experiences in the game going back to 2008 and beyond. How I failed
Once again, another example of AAA greed in the video game industry has reared up its rotten and bloated head, only to rend another chunk out of our nostalgia and enjoyment of games. This time Activision strikes again to shovel in microtransactions into Crash Team Racing Nitro-Fueled. Yes, a game based on a 20 year-old
One of the common gripes for long-term players in Path of Exile is that the three month challenge leagues often lead to players feeling the pressure of the grind a little too excessively. This is because after every league, we have to start all over again, repeating the same leveling process for every character in
Another new dev announcement for EVE Online has a lot of players worried about the future, while some are really excited about making ISK, This week has been a huge rollercoaster for New Eden residents. CCP nerfed Alpha clones and the venerable VNI cruiser. Then they removed PLEX rewards from the recruitment program, completely shutting
In a post on Xbox Wire, Xbox Insider team lead Bradley Rossetti revealed that a forthcoming plan for the Xbox One will include a slight rework of the dashboard layout. The panel structure will remain largely similar to what it is now, but the team wants to create an “easy and seamless experience for you to
Ubisoft has announced a special partnership with HitRecord for Watch Dogs: Legion, and it has kicked a bit of a hornet’s nest online. The purpose of this partnership goes back to the core of HitRecord’s business model, and is simply a way for Ubisoft to crowdsource music for their new game, thereby cutting overall costs
As any Apex Legends player, or pretty much anyone who has played an online game, knows, cheating is a big problem. Respawn isn’t immune to the problem, and the same can be said for so many other developers. But at least they’re taking a proactive stance and attacking the issue head-on. We already heard about
So Ubisoft put out Assassin’s Creed Odyssey a while ago, and while it was a good game, it was cursed by the touch of “AAA Live Services” (Read that in the most snooty Jim Sterling voice you can), and as a result, a lot of people felt the pressure of the grind from beginning to
