For some reason, Harley Quinn and The Joker are coming to PUBG, and we can’t quite figure out why. Suicide Squad was a hit movie back in 2016. Starring Will Smith as Deadshot, Margot Robbie as Harleen Quinzel (better known by her supervillain moniker, Harley Quinn), and Jared Leto as The Joker, it grossed over four times at the box office what it cost to produce. Although financially successful, the film was critically panned as an attempt from DC to achieve a more humorous film by casting a bunch of villains as antiheroes....
Although Destiny received mostly positive reviews, thanks to its addictive (if not repetitive) leveling and loot hunting systems adn super-polished gameplay, it’s no secret that the game’s generic sci-fi story didn’t do much players. The cinematic cut-scenes were aesthetically-pleasing enough, but the real driving force in the game was always getting to the next level, not learning the mysteries of the universe. The first cinematic trailer for the upcoming The Dark Below DLC may help turn things around on that front…...

Things are heating up in Treyarch’s Call of Duty Black Ops Cold War as players prepare for the debut of the game’s second season, which will arrive on February 25. A recently-released trailer for the new content put quite a bit of emphasis on narrative, and, as some fans have pointed out, felt like an odd homage to the first Predator movie. That said, there’s a lot more to be gleaned from Treyarch’s recent updates than miniguns and alternate-history Vietnam War set pieces....
Since its last Broadcast event back in August, the Outriders team at People Can Fly has gone quiet, leading many to believe that the game was in danger of missing its Holiday 2020 release date. This past week, the rumors were proven true as the newest trailer for the upcoming action RPG confirmed the delay with a new release date set for February 2, 2021. While the news will no doubt disappoint some who were looking forward to playing the game on next gen hardware this year, the added wait may actually prove to be a good thing for not only the long term success of the game, but give the team more time to talk about the title....

Back during E3 2011 it was announced that Mass Effect 3 would be one of the many games to feature support for Microsoft’s motion control device, Kinect. While a collective groan went out after the initial mention of Kinect in the same sentence as Mass Effect 3, once the demo of this functionality began, it actually appeared quite cool. It’s been some time since any mention has been made of Mass Effect 3 and Kinect, but during last week’s Consumer Electronic Show, fans and journalists alike were treated to a hands-on demo of the game using Kinect....
Destiny co-community manager, Chris “Cosmo” Shannon reveals new developer insight into how the team is approaching weapon balancing issues such as shotguns.

About a couple of years ago, God of War director Cory Barlog confirmed that the forthcoming 2018 entry to the action-adventure franchise won’t be the last we will see of Kratos, as the Ghost of Sparta is going to be featured in subsequent installments, giving fans hope for more titles to come. Speaking of sequels, it seems as if Santa Monica Studio is already in the planning phases for a followup to this year’s GoW, with successive chapters set to remain within the realms of Norse mythology....
Ninjala is one of the low-key exciting releases of the summer. It’s a free-to-play multiplayer game for Nintendo Switch that’s supposed to be quick to pick up and easy to get invested in. GungHo Online Entertainment launched Ninjala officially yesterday, June 24, and as expected a large wave of fans tried to log on and play. For those familiar with these types of scenarios, where demand for an online game appears to be beyond initial expectations, the predictable happened....
We love Nintendo. Say what you will about the gimmicks they’ve installed in the past, there’s no denying their cultural impact and how purely enjoyable their titles are. This has become more relevant today with the release of the Nintendo Switch and a seeming return to form for them that we haven’t seen in years. That said, fans of the company have gone through their years of depression as Nintendo hasn’t always delivered on the expectations they’ve set (just talk to the 10 owners of a Wii U and you’ll see what we mean)....

Hello Games’ ambitious space game No Man’s Sky reportedly won’t meet its original June 21 release date, and will now instead launch sometime in July or August. It’s been a long time coming, but the light at the end of the tunnel is approaching for Hello Games’ No Man’s Sky. After initially being announced during the 2013 Spike VGX event, it wasn’t until late-2015 that a June 2016 release date was seemingly confirmed for the ambitious space epic....
Palmer Luckey, the inventor of Oculus, appears to have just supported the ReVive platform with a large donation on Patreon. The money will help ReVive make Oculus-exclusive games playable on the HTC Vive virtual reality platform, reducing the edge Oculus has on the Vive in terms of content offerings. Facebook acquired Oculus in 2014, and in early 2017 Palmer Luckey left Oculus. Since then, Luckey has been getting around. Meanwhile, the battle for VR continues....
People must be really into Starfield, at least according to the YouTube view count. Currently, Starfield’s Official Teaser Trailer is sitting at 9.2 million views on Bethesda’s YouTube account (the Xbox trailer is just over 4.6 million views).

Keep in mind, those numbers aren’t counting the 2....
