Koei Tecmo’s Nioh 2 might still be a young spring chicken, but that doesn’t mean developer Team Ninja is resting on its laurels. The game’s director, Fumihiko Yasuda, took part in a panel at MomoConLine this past weekend and revealed that he is cooking up some ideas for a possible Nioh 3. While obviously still a ways out, his ideas aren’t simply a rehash of what the team has accomplished thus far....

After a very long period of silence, it seems the No Man’s Sky developer, Hello Games, is ready to reopen communication with the community. The developer recently began sending mysterious tapes to moderators of the various No Man’s Sky subreddits, leading many gamers to speculate what the developer has planned for the space exploration game. As revealed on Reddit by user BaRKy1911, Hello Games contacted several mods from No Man’s Sky subreddits some time ago with a request that the mods send their mailing addresses....

The PC version of RAGE received a fair share of criticism at launch for its notorious graphical issues, which caused textures to continue to load after the level had started. While the problem was drastically reduced as new drivers were released, many still found it difficult to run the game at its peak performance. Luckily for them, NVIDIA has released new drivers to help the performance of RAGE, as well as for two upcoming PC titles Battlefield 3 and Batman: Arkham City....

On February 24, 2009, the Capcom USA Twitter account tweeted out: “mmm. urinal cakes are cinnamon-flavored. I mean scented. Scented!” The internet stumbled upon this random tweet yesterday, and it has since hunted down a number of other weird Capcom tweets that the official Twitter account sent out in 2009 and earlier. These weird tweets mainly consist of random jokes, though their origin is unclear. It’s possible that someone else had the CapcomUSA_ Twitter handle prior to Capcom itself owning it, and the company simply forgot to delete these older tweets....

As with all things, RuneScape changed and evolved overtime. Unlike most things, however, fans were given an opportunity to go back in time and enjoy Old School RuneScape. While it wasn’t entirely clear how well this would go over at the time, it’s now known that it was a great decision in the end. As of last Sunday, the game broke its record for highest concurrent player count, reaching 173,006 concurrent players....

Winning a match of Apex Legends is no easy task. The battle royale release’s fast-paced action, small map, and loot scarcity means players are thrown into firefight after firefight from start to finish. Everyone’s first Championship first-place finish is a memorable achievement. But in the case of veteran marine and Twitch streamer toeyouup, that first win might be a bit more special than others. As befits his Twitch user name, Tony Vaitkevich plays video games by holding and using a controller with his left arm and his opposite foot....

2020 certainly had its fair share of ups and downs - ok, it had more downs than ups - but a study conducted by GamblersPick towards the tail end of last year sheds some light on some pretty interesting insights when it came to video gaming during the “year-which-must-not-be-mentioned.” Specifically, the study revolved around the topic of console upgrades, which essentially deals in the next generation of consoles including the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S....

The success of the Dark Star Cho’Gath campaign began with Bryan, a League of Legends player who in 2017, was visiting Riot Games through the Make-A-Wish Foundation....

The recently-launched Overwatch Anniversary event may have brought along a slate of cosmetic items and two new game modes, but fans have noticed that the update also brought along a curious nerf to Reinhardt’s hammer swing. Reinhardt players have noted that the latest patch has reduced the effectiveness of the character’s hammer, with hits now only registering after a full swing as opposed to having hits registered when the hammer was in the middle of the screen, meaning the time required to hit an opponent has doubled....

As of late, many fans within the Overwatch community have been consistently criticizing Blizzard to say that the game is not balanced, which recently prompted director Jeff Kaplan to reveal the win rates for attack and defend on each map to prove that the team-based shooter is in fact well honed. Now, the publisher and developer has followed up the aforementioned data drop by unveiling the reward odds for loot boxes through its official South Korean forum....

For years, Patrick Star has entertained viewers as one of the supporting characters in Nickelodeon’s SpongeBob SquarePants franchise. Now, the loveable starfish will get the spotlight in Nickelodeon’s spin-off series, appropriately titled The Patrick Star Show.

Even when his whole family was carted off to prison, it was all part of Tommy’s scheme, because in a Peaky Blinders finale, Tommy Shelby wins....

The people who want to imagine that Masahiro Sakurai wants them to appear in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate will be in luck if they live in Japan, as My Nintendo is offering letter sets based on the famous invitational envelopes from the Super Smash Bros. trailers. The letter with the Super Smash Bros. wax seal first debuted in Villager’s trailer, when he was announced for Super Smash Bros. 3DS/Wii U. This was the only time the letter appeared during this era of the series, as the next one wouldn’t appear until it was delivered to Isabelle by Pete the mailman....

Author Nancy Springer invented Sherlock’s secret sister. You might remember back in 2017 when Benedict Cumberbatch’s Sherlock Holmes met his secret — and criminally insane — sister Eurus Holmes (Sian Brooke) in the 4th season of the BBC’s Sherlock, but Enola Holmes (Millie Bobby Brown) came first. Springer’s Enola made her splash in the 2006 middle-grade book The Case of the Missing Marquess (upon which the new movie Enola Holmes is based) which makes her the reigning champ of secret Holmes siblings, at least in the 21st century....

2K today announced NBA SuperCard, a new mobile collectible card game featuring NBA and WNBA athletes. It’s probably not the content most fans were looking for but – seeing as 2K released a similar game with WWE superstars – its arrival shouldn’t come as much of a surprise. Karl-Anthony Towns of the Minnesota Timberwolves will act as the face of the new game during its inaugural season. “I can’t wait to be the first cover athlete on NBA SuperCard,” said Towns....
