When it comes to unpopular developer decisions in games, things always tend to run more smoothly if the player base feels acknowledged. Fortnite developer Epic Games seems to have realized this, and has decided to roll back a controversial change to the game after an uproar from its players. Recently, Fortnite received two pretty significant nerfs: one to its BRUTE mech, which went over relatively smoothly, and another to turbo building, which caused a veritable online riot....

Fortnite Season 7 is drawing to a close. The season has been action packed with crossovers, new alien themed weapons and cosmetics, and more. However, this isn’t stopping Epic Games from ending the season with a bang. The Fortnite v17.50 update has launched, which switches up the spawn rate of IO weapons and changes the playlist menu. From September 2, alien and IO weapons will be found more frequently than ever....

It’s fair to say that some in the old guard of Hollywood have complicated thoughts about superhero movies in general and Marvel Studios ones in particular. While the Marvel formula has produced more than 20 box office hits in a row like a well-oiled machine, the steady output of product infamously turned off Martin Scorsese, who recently shared his thoughts about why they’re “not cinema.” Now Academy Award winning legend, Francis Ford Coppola, is backing Scorsese’s claims and taking it a step further by calling Marvel movies outright “despicable....

Contains spoilers for the Sanditon season finale. Blimey! Last Sunday night was a brutal night for the normally cosy world of generic TV entertainment. The longs knives were sharpened and ready to carve a plump side of rump in the season finale to Sanditon, up until now a predictable glossy Austen adaptation (give or take the occasional sea drenched nudity). Twitter became a watercooler flood of protest as a result, the echo of BUT SIDNEY HOW COULD YOU?...

The Bathysmal Vishap Herd is an encounter in Genshin Impact that’s unlocked after you defeat the Abyssal Lector Fathomless Flames.

‘Return of the Jade Chamber’ is one of many quests added into Genshin Impact through update 1.3. This quest tasks players to find a recipe and cook a Triple Layered Consomme for Qingzhou over in Wangshu Inn. Since it has not been a day since this quest added to Genshin Impact, there are tons of players who have been wondering where to find the recipe and make a Triple Layered Consomme....

There’s a sense of mysticism when it comes to the elements and the powers which they possess. Air, earth, water, and fire might be the original four, but games such as Genshin Impact have taken everything we thought we knew about the elementals and turned them up a notch. In this relatively new online RPG, we see the appearance of Anemo (wind), Cryo (ice), Dendro (nature), Electro (lightning), Geo (earth), Hydro (water), and, of course, Pyro (fire)....

There are plenty of secret passageways to be found all over Teyvat, and the 2.6 update has added yet another questline with a hidden room inside the new Chasm area in Liyue.

All Orb of Blue Depths Locations in The Chasm Orb #1 These don’t necessarily need to be obtained in a specific order, but there are nine in total, and we’ll order them somewhat by how close they are to each other....

After a six-month delay and a development cycle that lasted for more than three years, Ghostwire: Tokyo was finally released for the PS5 and PC in March of 2022. Despite its relatively short length and the lukewarm response that it received from critics, the game has proven to be incredibly popular with those who’ve played it, with the PC version boasting an impressive 8.5 User Score on Metacritic at the time of writing....

Does anybody else remember way back in the day, when the Grand Theft Auto franchise lacked that ever-critical third dimension? There was an intrinsic glee when looking down from above upon unbridled mayhem, featuring what appeared to be ants, armed with pea-shooters. Things have come a long way since then, but the recently launched Early Access title Glitchpunk is made in a way to relive that retro glory, with equal parts of cyberpunk vibes mixed in for good measure....

Cory Barlog, director of 2018’s God of War, has asked the PlayStation community to exercise some patience while waiting for more news on the game’s sequel, Ragnarök. “If it were up to me, I would share all the information when I know about it. But it is not up to me,” he tweeted (with a mellow looking Baby Yoda to accompany his message). “So please, be patient. I promise things will be shared at the earliest possible moment they can be....

“We knew From the beginning, what the end was gonna be,” says Creative Director Marcus Lehto. “This is the definitive Halo, made by the people that created Halo,” adds Composer Marty O’Donnell. The two are discussing Bungie’s final Halo game, Halo: Reach, in the new ViDoc Once More Into The Breach. Strong statements, sure, but judging by what’s on display in the video, they just might be right. The video is full of technical information about how they gutted, re-built, and optimized the Halo 3 engine to power Reach....

More than a year ago, 343 Industries premiered the Halo Infinite campaign for the first time. Although there were positives, many fans were concerned about how rough around the edges it looked. The shooter was then delayed, and fans had to wait eagerly to see what improvements had been made. But that wait is now over, and 343 Industries has revealed exactly what the Halo Infinite Campaign has to offer in its new trailer....
