Famous Fortnite streamer Ninja is getting mad on stream again, and this time, he’s taken to Twitter about it too. The Mixer streamer screamed at the top of his lungs, then tweeted a complaint about it to Epic Games. Tyler “Ninja” Blevins is well-known for getting angry. On Twitter, he once posted that people who don’t get mad at video games have a “weak mindset,” and that they aren’t taking their “craft” seriously....
It’s been just six weeks since No Man’s Sky received its Companions update which lets travelers genetically engineer their own alien friends, so I guess it’s time for another major update, huh? Once again, No Man’s Sky developer Hello Games proves they’re the best indie developer around by offering yet another massive update to all players totally for free. Update 3.3 overhauls many of the game’s systems, but the big deal here is the all-new Expeditions....
The Legend of Zelda-inspired action-adventure game Oceanhorn outperformed expectations when it released in 2013. Originally released on iOS, Oceanhorn was subsequently released on several different platforms year-to-year, selling well over a million copies along the way. Now developer Cornfox & Bros. is preparing to return to that strategy with Oceanhorn 2. Publisher FDG Entertainment has now confirmed that Oceanhorn 2 will be coming to the PS5 and Xbox Series X, as well as other platforms....
Since the Boom Power Rangers line of comics began it’s largely focused on the original Mighty Morphin team of characters. Now it appears that focus is about to go to the next level. Speaking at Emerald City Comic Con this past weekend, original Pink Ranger Amy Jo Johnson (who just directed an episode of Superman & Lois) let slip that she’s working on a comic for the line! Johnson stated that “I wrote a comic book with my boyfriend and Boom is quite excited about it....
Outriders – like most modern games that rely on a constant internet connection – was plagued with server issues at launch. While many of the problems have since been ironed out, a dreaded Inventory Wipe bug still exists, which deletes all the gear you’ve managed to collect. People Can Fly is aware of the problem and has pushed out a new round of updates to reduce the bug’s occurrence. It’s worth mentioning the latest “preventative measures” won’t eliminate the Inventory Wipe bug, but should help reduce its occurrence....
Back in 2012, the Ouya microconsole raised over $8.5 million on Kickstarter, becoming one of the crowdfunding platform’s most successful projects. Over 60,000 people backed the console, which is powered by a modified version of Google’s Android operating system. The Ouya’s main selling point is the fact that the console can play the same games as Android smartphones and tablets but instead of those small screens, the Ouya is able to display the games on televisions with a dedicated controller....
Blizzard Entertainment’s Overwatch will have to continue entertaining fans for some time given an earnings call in February suggested Overwatch 2 won’t launch in 2021. Luckily, improvements are still being pushed out for the team-based competitive shooter for those who are sticking by it, with Nvidia recently announcing that reduced latency is available for those who want to test out the feature. Overwatch received a next-gen upgrade for Xbox Series X last week, though similar updates have yet to be announced for PlayStation 5, letting users choose between three graphical settings: Resolution, Balanced, and Framerate....
Jon Spector, VP of the Overwatch League, provided some updates and thoughts about the rest of the 2020 season this morning. In the TwitLonger, Spector talked about what the rest of the season might look like, including the playoffs, and beyond as they begin to prepare for the 2021 season. It seems like the higher ups have been pleased with how the tournaments have gone down so far, and for good reason....
Blizzard is extending the Open Beta for Overwatch by an additional 24 hours, keeping the ongoing beta’s servers running up until May 10 at 10:00 AM PDT. The Overwatch addiction has claimed thousands in recent months. Through those lucky enough to be invited to the Closed Beta, others who watched matches on Twitch’s streams, or the horde that has started playing with the launch of the Open Beta, Overwatch is a guaranteed instant success when it launches....
Today, the developers at Blizzard have finally provided the long awaited reveal for the identity of the next hero to make their way into Overwatch, by releasing a fresh Developer Update video hosted by director Jeff Kaplan, as well as a brand new origin story trailer for the character known as Orisa. As was teased for quite some time, Orisa is a result of the handiwork of the 11-year-old robotics and technology child prodigy Efi Odelade, who crafted the character with discarded defense robot parts in Numbani after an attack by Doomfist....
Payday 2 already has criminals from John Wick and Point Break as playable options and we’re ready for more DLC. Here are our top picks for movie-inspired playable characters. One of the sleeper hits of the last few year’s has been the cooperative heist game, Payday 2. The game didn’t make a ton of noise at launch, but has found a cult following and become incredibly popular on PC and consoles thanks to its fast gameplay and focus on strategy....
Over the course of the last console generation or so, it has become increasingly rare for a triple-A developer to create a game that isn’t open-world-based. Ubisoft pretty much only makes games of that type, Rockstar has been producing open-world games for nearly three decades, and even Nintendo started to get in on the craze with the launch of the Switch. Despite how these companies have had so much time to get creative with the genre, why is it that so many open-world games feel devoid of meaningful content?...
Players who love Capcom’s Monster Hunter World appreciate the return of the Long Sword from previous Monster Hunter titles. Unlike the massive Great Sword, the Long Sword provides a wide melee reach while enabling decent mobility. As such, many hunters use the Long Sword for wide sweeps with decent evasion against strong attacks. Unfortunately, players just trying out the Long Sword might feel encumbered with its reduced speed and the spirit energy mechanic....

Monument Valley isn’t particularly a difficult game, and it only lasts for a couple of hours, but that doesn’t make it any less impressive. It’s a mobile puzzler in which players guide a princess through a fantasy kingdom, navigating isometric mazes comprised of optical illusions and M. C. Escher-like landscapes. With gentle colors, soothing music, and a striking minimalist aesthetic, Monument Valley isn’t something you play as much as something you experience....
A few days ago Namco Bandai opened the digital doors to a new web domain that had the words “All Star Battle” fastened to the site’s home page. Along with that fragmented sentence was a countdown that signalled the unveiling of what a few believed to be a new fighting game similar to PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale. This was an odd theory considering that the company is already hard at work co-developing the new Super Smash Bros....
Naughty Dog will debut a new trailer for The Last of Us Part II on Wednesday, following the announcement that the sequel to the hit Sony exclusive has gone gold. The developers posted a short teaser video to Twitter on Tuesday featuring voice-overs from main character Joel and Ellie, with the much younger Ellie insisting she must finish some fight before her guardian warns there will be a cost. Following in the vein of previous trailers, the clip comes off as pretty cryptic - well, cryptic if you’ve managed to avoid all of the spoilers which have been circulating online following a recent massive leak....
For the first time since 2019’s ill-fated Hellboy reboot, director Neil Marshall returns to the horror genre with The Reckoning, in which a young woman (Charlotte Kirk) is accused of witchcraft in northern England in 1665. For Marshall, who launched his directorial career in the early 2000s with Dog Soldiers and the now classic The Descent, The Reckoning represents a return to the genre that gave him his start and to his early independent days, following 2019’s poorly received reboot of the horror-themed Hellboy franchise....
Looks like Netflix Portugal let slip a new Resident Evil project. No, not that live action show that’s reportedly in the works. This appears to be a CG-animated movie or series about some familiar characters exploring a creepy house. The Twitter account for the Portugese arm of the streaming giant posted a trailer that shows the name: Resident Evil: Infinite Darkness. Spoilers, of course, if you want to go in surprised for whatever Capcom and Netflix have in store....
As a genre begins to rise in popularity, it’s only natural for the marketplace to become saturated with similar titles. This makes it difficult for smaller games to get the attention they deserve - and stand out from the crowd. This is the case with the MOBA genre and Ronimo Games’ upcoming title Awesomenauts. While the title oozes with charm and style, it will be a difficult fight with multiple high-profile releases on the way....
