Just like the original game for the N64, New Pokemon Snap allows us to view a wide variety of Pokemon in a whole new light. It’s not just Flash Cannons and Flamethrowers here - Jirachi’s much more interested in doing backflips in mid-air than launching enormous beams of steel-infused light at other ‘mons, while most of the Fire-types in Fireflow Volcano just want to smile for the camera. These behaviours are occasionally represented in the Pokemon anime, where ‘mons might play with one another or live in harmony in the wild....

There’s no more Uncharted games planned after the release of Uncharted: The Lost Legacy, says Naughty Dog Creative Director Shaun Escayg. In an interview with Red Bull, Escayg goes into detail regarding his side-story’s development and how The Lost Legacy stands apart from the main franchise. But while he is forthcoming about this new adventure, Escayg isn’t willing to think about the franchise’s future right now. He says that for now Uncharted is going on hiatus, but is willing to admit that there’s certainly a possibility of it returning....

A few days ago, YouTuber AlmightyDaq, who accurately predicted Battlefield 1’s World War 1 setting, claimed 2018’s Battlefield game would be Battlefield: Bad Company 3. However, AlmightyDaq has since backtracked on his claims, and now believes that DICE is working on a new Battlefield game set in World War 2 instead. Eurogamer reached out to AlmightyDaq after some of its sources denied his claims that Battlefield: Bad Company 3 would launch in 2018....

A livestream from Square Enix yesterday reveals that NieR: Automata will have an online component called the “Android System”, and it will be familiar to Dark Souls players. To say that NieR: Automata is performing above expectation even in its pre-release stages would be an understatement. Square Enix and Platinum Games’ sequel to a niche cult hit was never expected to position itself squarely in the conversation for best RPGs of 2017, but incredibly positive feedback from NieR: Automata’s demo and a media buzz generated from some gorgeous trailers has people talking....

Microsoft has just released the Nier: Automata- Become As Gods edition on the Microsoft Store for Game Pass on PC and players have found that it runs much better than the infamous Steam release, and even has updated features in some areas. Nier: Automata’s 2017 Steam release was infamous for being completely broken from launch. That version was plagued with stuttering, frame rate caps, glitches and some players not being able to access the game at all....

While the latest Nintendo Direct may have made some fans upset due to the absence of hotly-anticipated titles such as The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild 2 or Metroid Prime 4, the conference had a lot of other titles on offer. Nintendo had a lot to present this time, and one that caught a lot of attention is Ninja Gaiden Master Collection. A collection featuring the 3 most recent outings of fan-favorite Ryu Hayabusa, the Ninja Gaiden Master Collection is due to release in June this year....

The criminally overlooked 3DS game Miitopia is set to get a second lease on life next month when it arrives on Nintendo Switch. To get people interested, Nintendo has released a new demo on the Switch eShop that gives you a pretty hefty chunk of the intro. In addition to being decently long, all of your progress will transfer to the final game when it comes out on May 21, 2021....

A group of students from the Columbus College of Art and Design (CCAD) have created a board game called ‘100 Hours Till Launch’ in an attempt to raise awareness about the unhealthy ‘Crunch Culture’ ‘Crunch Culture’ is the industry-wide practice of crunching out hours to meet deadlines. It often results in overwork going beyond the traditional 40-hour work week. Some have reported to even work more than 70 hours a week, with Rockstar having reports of 100-hour weeks....

Back in 2005, when One Piece first started airing in North America, we were given the One Piece Rap. Now, almost 16 years later, the original rapper and creator of the song explains how it came to be. On May 6, rapper Shawn Conrad posted a video on his YouTube channel all about the famous One Piece Rap. The One Piece Rap has been around for a while and has received some mixed criticism....

With more people staying home than ever, RPGs have captured the attention of millions of players around the world like never before. Players can dive deep into new worlds and fill the shoes of charismatic and powerful characters. With that said, 2021 has a lot in store for fans of the genre that may have flown under their radar. There’s a lot of potential with these games as the RPG genre has evolved in terms of what fans want for combat, exploration, and general storytelling....

Aside perhaps from Tracer, Soldier 76 - also known as Jack Morrison - is probably the most recognizable and iconic character in Overwtach. Those who have even casually played as this Hero can likely understand why, with his straight-forward FPS mechanics and a vast arsenal of useful skills. These include fast-movement, powerful rockets, and self-healing. Though his appearance might tell you otherwise, 76 isn’t just some basic stock military man. This battle-hardened soldier actually has quite a bit of history and richness to his character....

The 2020 North American Overwatch League All-Stars competition is just around the corner, which can only mean one thing: new legendary skins. This year D.Va and Reinhardt are the lucky duo set to receive a unique All-Stars makeover. You can grab the exclusive skins for yourself from September 29 until October 12. Despite the relatively narrow window, getting the D.Va and Reinhardt All-Stars skins is pretty easy — here’s how you can add them to your collection....

We recently learned that Overwatch 2 is due to shrink squad sizes from six players per team to just five. As someone with well over 1,000 hours in the game, who used to play on a team that averaged out at around 3,600 SR (Masters, the second-highest competitive rank in the game, accounting for the top four percent of players worldwide), I’m here to tell you that this, reader, is the absolute worst number of players any Overwatch team can have....

Back in February, the video game publisher and developer Blizzard unveiled Tracer as the first figure in the Good Smile Company’s Nendoroid toy line, and now the icy Chinese scientist Mei will be joining the time-jumping adventurer as the next hero in the Overwatch-inspired run of figures. Similar to Tracer, the forthcoming Mei Nendoroid is prepared to offer enough flexibility to allow fans to recreate several of Mei’s poses from the game....

Overwatch is a constant balance game for Blizzard, with the company buffing, nerfing, and sometimes completely reworking heroes in the name of trying to make the game as fair and competitive as possible. Sometimes Blizzard tests its more extreme ideas for character changes in the Overwatch Experimental Card, and it’s possible that D.Va will soon be getting some interesting changes for fans to test out. Professional Overwatch player Poko was recently asked what kind of D....

The Mario franchise is one with dozens of various spin-offs that reinvent the characters and explore different genres. The spin-off series that may be the most niche of them is arguably Paper Mario. The role-playing game (or sometimes adventure) series has been around since the days of the N64, and has been a fan favorite along with Mario and Luigi. Over the years, the producers have experimented with the formula to mixed degrees of success....

Companionship and teamwork have always been cornerstone themes of the Monster Hunter franchise. Although the games are designed to be experienced with other players, a hunter is never alone even in single player. Thanks to Palicoes, there’s always a loyal ally at the player’s side that will help them take on even the most fearsome monsters. Naturally, these beloved cat folk play an important role in Monster Hunter World, tailing the player from the very first cutscene....

As one of the best games of 2020, it might not come as a surprise to hear that Doom Eternal was pretty popular. So popular in fact, that its completion rate is apparently a lot bigger than Doom 2016’s. Doom Eternal director Hugo Martin revealed in a recent interview with PC Gamer that the completion rate for Doom Eternal is “much higher” than it was for the previous game. This is impressive considering that Doom Eternal is both a longer game than the first and a more difficult one thanks to controversial enemies like the Marauders....

Regardless of how you feel about the new Mortal Kombat film, we all know it’s just a matter of time before a sequel is officially announced. One piece of information that seems to be pointing to the inevitability of that sequel is the fact that Sub-Zero actor, Joe Taslim, had signed a contract to appear in four additional films. Although, given Hollywood’s current obsession with cinematic universes, this shouldn’t really come as a surprise....
