There hasn’t been any official confirmation that Guerrilla is working on a sequel to Horizon Zero Dawn, but if the devs were doing a follow up to an incredibly successful game ( both commercially and critically successful) — and remember, we just don’t know if there will be one — the team definitely have some ideas. In an interview with Game Informer, picked up by WCCF, some of the team from Guerrilla shared their thoughts on the response to HZD and what they’d like to do in a sequel....

So says the man himself, Gene Simmons of KISS. And with that, Guitar Hero: Warriors of Rock is announced. “The world is a boring place. Come with me, and enter a world populated of Demi-Gods and Beasts. Transform from an everyday person and become the savior of rock and roll. It was an honor and privilege to narrate Guitar Hero: Warriors of Rock, even more so, to voice the Demi God....

“Live. Die. Repeat.” Was actually the tagline (and better title) to 2014 cyclical sci-fi Edge Of Tomorrow, but it pretty fairly sums up several similarly themed Groundhog Day-style films and TV shows of the last decade – including 2011’s Source Code, Netflix’s latest buzzy existential comedy that we’re not naming for reasons of spoilers, certain bits of The Good Place, Marlon Wayan’s comedy Naked and, of course, Happy Death Day. So if you’re experiencing a sense of déjà vu with Happy Death Day 2U, that’s hardly surprising....

Avalanche Software’s AAA project will be announced “soon,” and people are thinking it’s that Harry Potter ARPG which was leaked in 2018 (via WccfTech). The developer is known for a collection of Disney games like Meet the Robinsons, Bolt, and the Disney Infinity series. In 2017, Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment acquired the studio, which had been shut down by Disney, and began a new project using Avalanche Software’s own Octane engine....

The line between the mediums of film and gaming are getting more and more blurred every day. One gaming figure that tends to blur the line at an increasing rate is none other than Hideo Kojima, the respected creator behind multiple game series. However, while he has shown a unique eye for creating game stories, it might be best for him to remain attached to those and hold off on cinema....

One common theme that runs through all of the modern flight simulators is that they do a pretty decent job at recreating an authentic feeling of flight, but there’s one important feature that is mostly lacking: scenery. This is especially true in FSX. The default scenery is known for lacking a lot of detail. That’s why scenery add-ons are just popular as new aircraft. If you want to spruce up airports and areas in the world of your flight-sim, then check out the discounts over at SimShack for Drzewiecki Design products....

Season 2 of Chapter 2 has arrived in Fortnite and it is bursting with new content, weapons, map changes, and of course, a brand new battle pass.

Fortnite played host to a hilarious rescue mission last week, when a player known as Chappadoodle found himself in a bit of a pickle by getting stranded off the side of the map following a ruck with an opponent. To cut a very long and hilarious story short, he’s nearly helped out by YouTuber Muselk, who despite all his efforts ends up killing him with a golf cart instead. Epic Games caught wind of the encounter, and has now put up an actual Easter egg honouring Chappadoodle’s botched rescue attempt....

Last week, there was a faint flutter in Elden Ring circles after fans spotted a cute little detail: that George R. R.
