Tekken 8 is not sitting well with its community, and the latest gameplay trailer for Fahkumram didn’t do them any favors. Bandai Namco released the trailer on May 26, showing off the character’s move set, motivations for fighting, and subtle changes to the fighter’s design. The returning character will arrive as paid DLC on July 8 in early access and July 11 in general access, a part of Tekken 8‘s...
As a console, the Switch 2 is definitely one of Nintendo’s more iterative hardware follow-ups. Both pieces of tech have the same overt sleek design with detachable controllers, and both consoles have significant overlap of their game catalogs. You’d think this might push Nintendo to try to differentiate their offerings as much as possible in the marketing, but no. The Switch 2, like Switch, comes in a red box. It’s...
We've come a long way with liquid coolers. The first generation was known for being loud and at risk of causing a puddle in your PC. While the latter is a slightly unfair reading of the upcoming tech at the time—a leak was uncommon and my ancient Corsair H100i is still going strong—the first part isn't. Older liquid coolers make a lot of noise, and a big part of that...
Two months in, Assassin's Creed Shadows continues to trundle along quietly in the videogame background, presumably quite pleased with itself for pulling in a bunch of players and making such good use of its delays that Ubisoft now wants to delay a whole bunch of other stuff. The game's 1.0.5 patch released today, bringing a new quest, some tweaks 'n' fixes, and—for reasons I am still turning over in my...
Cache co-creator Shawn "FMPONE" Snelling has announced that Valve has bought the map outright, following its addition to the CS2 Workshop in early March, and a mention in the background of the game's latest update. Responding to player Aqua saying "this pretty much confirms that Valve bought Cache," FMPONE confirmed the news:"Thank you for playing Cache," said FMPONE on X. "Thank you to Sal Garozzo for allowing me to work...
Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 is, as far as JRPGs go, relatively short. Not too short, mind—if you want to throw yourself into its endgame challenges, you'll be spending about 60 hours, and there's always New Game+ if you want to do the whole thing over again.Given Sandfall Interactive's team size (around 30, not counting contractors and the like) one might wonder if that was a problem of budget. Not so,...
Black Ops 6 season 4 is about Grief. No, not the all too real human emotion (this is still Call of Duty after all); the new game mode! In addition to Grief — a competitive survival mode for Zombies that hasn’t been playable since Black Ops 2 — season 4 of Black Ops 6 will also introduce its usual seasonal slew of new maps, modes, and weapons. The season will...
HBO’s Harry Potter series has cast its three main characters: Dominic McLaughlin will star as titular hero Harry Potter, alongside Arabella Stanton as Hermione Granger and Alastair Stout as Ron Weasley. Executive producers Francesca Gardiner and Mark Mylod spoke of finally finding actors for Harry, Hermione, and Ron for the anticipated show in a news release on Tuesday. “After an extraordinary search led by casting directors Lucy Bevan and Emily Brockmann, we...
PlayStation’s Days of Play event will return on Wednesday, May 28, and with it come deals on the PlayStation 5 — just one month after Sony Interactive Entertainment announced price increases for the five-year-old system in some markets. From May 28 to June 11, Sony will have discounts on the PS5, DualSense controllers, and games like Astro Bot, MLB The Show 25, The Last of Us Part 2 Remastered, and...
If Disney wasn’t already rethinking its Disney Plus streaming business before the gargantuan four-day holiday-weekend opening of Lilo & Stitch, it certainly will be now. The live-action remake — originally intended to bow on Disney Plus — crushed at the U.S. box office, grossing $183 million over the Memorial Day weekend (with a haul of over $304 million worldwide). It’s a staggering number for a Disney character who has, through...
