The Oculus Quest 2 recently released, and with it came a new and refreshed opportunity for wireless virtual reality experiences on-par with PC VR. Oculus/Facebook soon announced that new buyers of Oculus products would need to register and connect a Facebook account to their devices in order to use them. This information hasn’t been taken entirely well by the gaming community, and it seems with good reason, as some Oculus Quest 2 buyers have reported losing access to their device entirely after their accounts were disabled by Facebook....
Currently, there’s not much known about People Can Fly and Square Enix’s upcoming cross-gen title, Outriders. Game previews of it, however, certainly leave an impression. Game Rant describes it as a Mad Max meets Mass Effect-style RPG shooter, and it’ll launch with four unique classes: the Trickster, the Devastator, the Pryomancer, and one that has yet to be revealed. The very premise of the game is failed colonization efforts on an alien planet, where “The Anomaly,” a huge energy storm, disrupts this journey....
Minecraft Dungeons added the dungeon-crawling, loot-gathering twist to Minecraft that we didn’t know we needed. It’s been a year since its launch, and Mojang Studios has been celebrating the milestone with in-game events and giveaways. The studio also revealed some numbers for the game, the most impressive of which is that Minecraft Dungeons has been played by 11,500,000 unique players from across 232 countries and territories. “But this event is more than just amazing gear and capes – it’s also about earning a bunch of emeralds celebrating our journey together: the missions we explored, the challenges we fought, the friends we made along the way – even those infinite times Archie made suspicious stew out of my blocky behind on Apocalypse Plus,” said the blog post....
During E3 2018’s PC Gaming show about a couple of months ago, Overkill Software and Starbreeze Studios put out a gameplay video for the companies’ forthcoming The Walking Dead project, with the clip showing how players will take on the roles of the game’s various survivors.

Blizzard adds some special effects to the basketball easter egg present in the pre-match holding area used in Overwatch — but it seems that the ball’s physics have been altered, too.

Players have flocked to the game, forming a growing community that’s sufficiently engrossed in the experience to leave no stone unturned....
Blizzard Entertainment’s team-based shooter Overwatch is nearing the end of its four-year lifespan. Its sequel is currently in production, and the developers just released the game’s final new hero: The damage-archetype android Echo. However, that doesn’t mean fans can’t expect to see additional bits of content like new skins trickle out in the meantime, according to Blizzard Vice President and Overwatch Game Director Jeff Kaplan. Kaplan took part in a Q&A session over the social media and messaging app Discord Friday....
It seems many gamers are very unhappy with Hi-Rez Studio’s recent changes to free-to-play shooter Paladins. According to many players, the changes update the game to a “pay-to-win” structure that may negatively affect the title. Essentially, the developer has changed the rewards structure for Paladins players, which may make it easier for new players to access specific weapons. Until now, Paladins players could grind for specific weapons by saving up the required Gold, which is the game’s primary currency....
If you’re upgrading your precious weapons in Monster Hunter Rise, you may come across the need for Quality Fin. Quality Fin is a monster carving material you can earn in MHR, but the reality is that you may never get your hands on it. This material cannot be carved from larger monsters, so if you’re sticking to High Rank quests and not attempting to take on small monsters, you may never even come across Quality Fin, which will severely limit how powerful you can become....
The live-action Monster Hunter movie has had something of a difficult launch. While the film released in China first, it was quickly pulled amid controversy over a particular scene that Chinese audiences widely perceived as racist. While the studio pulled the scene and apologized, the U.S. release of the film was bumped up slightly from Christmas day to December 18th, where it has managed to top the box office despite a disappointing haul....

The new 1.21 update is available on all platforms and brings some much-demanded changes to certain characters and their abilities. Along with different character changes, the new update also brings Kombat League changes and some general gameplay adjustments to Mortal Kombat 11.

Like many a weeb, I had my Naruto phase. And the Ultimate Ninja Storm games were a big part of it. Story-wise, each subsequent release mostly kept up with where I was in the anime/manga. And it was a treat to see how the games rendered new characters, transformations, and attacks as they were revealed in the story. On the gameplay front, the squad-based arena battles were a revelation and felt like a refreshing break from the normal 2D fighter....

For a limited time, the new Fortnite update has created a new game mode called “The Spy Within,” which pits players against each other to figure out the identities of traitorous spies within the group....
