Seems like things didn’t turn up as well as we’d like to expect for this feature that they had planned. Wall-running won’t be included in Cyberpunk 2077, for “design reasons”. Because of the game’s nature, being a first-person shooter RPG, it’s somewhat difficult to design with fluidity of moment and action as top priority in all cases, and with this in mind, CD Projekt RED has dropped the wall-running feature which we have seen in previous gameplay demos. You might be wondering “Yeah, but, Mirror’s Edge is an FPS too and has lots of parkouring to do”. While that statement…

Infinity Ward, just like many big companies all around the world, join the wagon that pay their respects to George Floyd who got killed by a police officer in Minneapolis. What happened in Minneapolis is absolutely terrible and shouldn’t ever happen by any means. Many companies have paid their respects with their own ways, like Sony, who pushed back the date for their PS5 event. In order for Infinity Ward to show their respects, they pushed back the date for their highly-anticipated Season 4 for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare (2019). They also made a tweet about this on their…

Infinity Ward, the studio behind Call of Duty Modern Warfare (2019) and Warzone, finally introduced a new playlist option, BR Duos! Thankfully, Infinity Ward made the right call to have BR Duos as a permanent addition to the rest of the BR modes (Solos, Trios and Quads), instead of having to delete one of them so BR Duos can replace the removed one. Warzone has been standing in the spotlight for way too long now thanks to its huge success and players have been demanding more and more from Infinity Ward. One of the demands was BR Duos, because Trios…

As next-gen console companies (namely Microsoft and Sony) have been revealing more and more information about their specs and their capabilities, one of them was Ray Tracing, to help developers maximize their visions in terms of graphics. Let’s talk about what exactly Ray Tracing is before moving ahead and talk about the PS5 and the Xbox Series X. As you play a game, everything around you is being rendered in real-time by the console or PC you’re playing on. Character models, the world’s models (like buildings, trees, rocks, all sorts of things scattered around, even the sky which we call…

It’s that time of the season where we get to talk and make our list for which games we anticipate the most, from the games that are already confirmed to arrive on the next-gen consoles, PS5 and Xbox Series X. Starting off, with one of the first games confirmed to be released for the PS5, Godfall We all are familiar with Gearbox and their successful game series, Borderlands, and they are back to cause all sorts of chaos and mayhem in the next-generation consoles, with another looter-slasher game. This time, unlike Borderlands, which was first-person shooter with cartoony graphics and…

Seems like the oldest trick in the books, nostalgia, is actually super effective (we fell for it like Pokémon) and we love it. The NPD Group, which is a United States market research company, releases on a monthly basis its US market report and for January 2020, its a huge turn-around for other major titles. While we can’t be certain how the sales went in the rest of the market in other parts of the world, one of the largest video game markets is the US, so these numbers and sales reports, more or less speak for the rest of…

Obviously the character in talk here is the infamous mister Leroy Smith, who was welcomed with great reactions upon announcement when he was revealed as a character but is greatly hated by the majority of Tekken’s community (even to this day, after the patch fixes). Bandai Namco, the guys behind Tekken 7 have released a few patches in the last weeks, in hopes of balancing Leroy Smith’s power, but every change they made was too small, making the community angry. Try watching the latest EVO Japan 2020, the latest major tournament, the ladder was full of Leroy Smiths. That alone…

Ubisoft, the publisher behind the loot-shooter The Division 2, has announced that a new expansion is about to be released in the coming weeks. The new expansion is called “Warlords of New York” and it.. well, take you back to the place of the first game, which is New York. The story behind the DLC is that there’s an ex-Division agent, Aaron Keener, that has gone rogue and has taken over the lower parts of Manhattan. Your ultimate goal for this expansion is to take him down and re-take control of the places he’s taken control of, but Aaron ain’t…

With our graphics cards in place from the previous part of this 3-part guide, it’s time we have a talk about the CPU you’re gonna need in order to not have bottlenecks with the rest of your system for (again) every price tier. Links to every part of this guide: Graphics Cards CPUs Monitors Let’s do this (in Captain Price’s voice) In all fairness, you’re absolutely right if you’re confused with the latest CPU releases and the latest news regarding new technologies and improvements in CPUs, and with Intel and AMD always rushing out products to have an edge on…

Echtra Games, the developers behind the free-to-play Torchlight title named “Torchlight Frontiers”, have announced that they are completely overhauling their game and are renaming it “Torchlight III”. Along with this announcement, they also uploaded an announcement video showcasing some of the biggest changes that are coming to the game, with Max Schaefer (The creator of the Torchlight series) talking in the background and explaining how and why they made this decision. Here’s the video: Unlike Torchlight Frontiers, which was a free-to-play title, Torchlight III will not follow the same path and will transition into a premium model. Another big announcement…

Since Fortnite took the big leap into Chapter 2, we haven’t heard any news regarding Season 2 and also it has been an incredibly long Season 1, but that is now going to change. Dataminers have recently discovered the date “February 6” in the game’s API, which almost immediately became the highlight of the day, but Epic Games took wind of this and have confirmed that the Season 2 will officially begin on February 20. Here is a picture of their official announcement: While Epic did reveal Season 2’s release date, they didn’t reveal any of the new changes and…

We’ll analyze all possible and most value-for-money choices for every price tier, as of January, 2020. We’ll break this guide into three parts, because we have a lot to cover for every component (we’ll add links to each article when they get published): Graphics Cards CPUs Monitors Let the graphics fight begin The graphics card market has become quite confusing lately, with so many products being launched every so often by both sides, Nvidia and AMD (No, I don’t count Intel as a side with their new “graphics card”). This article will (hopefully) make your next upgrade decision a bit…

A “fresh breeze” in the battle royale genre With Scavengers Studios, a relatively new development team to the gaming industry, with a small number of members in it (eighteen members) releasing Darwin Project to the PlayStation 4, it’s a very good opportunity to have a talk about it, as it is a battle royale type of game but with an interesting twist in its concept. A new take on the battle royale concept First of all, this game has been released for Microsoft Windows and Xbox One as a free-to-play title since April 24, 2018 and only just recently made it out of Steam’s Early Access and into the PlayStation 4 platform. This isn’t your standard and typical battle royale game, where you just loot everything in your way as fast as humanly possible like your name is Barry Allen (aka “The Flash”) and then shoot away all your ammunition into the enemy’s skulls, hoping that you and your squad will make it as the last squad standing. In Darwin…

Oooooooh.  Shiny.  Sorry, don’t mind me; the Anno series tends to have that effect on me.  These games sure are pretty.  And Anno 2070, taking place as it does in the not-too-distant-future, is outstandingly beautiful.  Besides having plenty of pretty sci-fi buildings to look at – the squeaky-clean, curvaceous skyscrapers of the Ecos, or the delightfully dingy, smoke-spewing factories of the Technos – Anno 2070 lets you build anywhere you like, including under the gorgeously rendered water.  Sorry, I drooled a little there. Although, it’s worth pointing out here and now that style over substance in city-building/resource-expansion games does not…
