Elden Ring fans have been starved for updates on the upcoming game from Dark Souls studio FromSoftware ever since it was first announced at E3 2019. While FromSoftware has remained mostly quiet about Elden Ring since then, rumors point to new information coming to light sooner rather than later. In fact, it’s possible that some Elden Ring news could drop within the next two months or so. This was teased by industry insider Jeff Grubb, who responded to a meme comparing Elden Ring excitement to the ongoing GameStop stock situation....
According to rumors circulating online, an announcement for a remaster of Rockstar Games’ open world western title Red Dead Redemption is to occur this week. If a translation of the Korean gaming site known as GameFocus by NeoGAF user Delaney is to be believed, then Rockstar Games is working on an HD remastered edition of Red Dead Redemption for PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One. What’s more is that if true, not only would this rumor confirm the developer currently being in the middle of the production process for the Red Dead Redemption remaster, but also that the enhanced version would be announced this week....
Since Splinter Cell: Conviction released last April, there’s been little news on another installment in the Tom Clancy series. Like Rainbox Six and Ghost Recon, the Splinter Cell titles have be become increasingly less tactical, trading details for “accessibility” but last year’s stylistic take on the franchise with Conviction won over critics once again. Splinter Cell 6 was name-dropped by Jade Raymond last November where she revealed that it’s going to be fully developed by Ubisoft’s new Toronto studio and some speculated that an official reveal would be teased at E3 2011, but it wasn’t meant to be....
The fourth and final character class for Torchlight 2 has just been announced along with a very affordable price point. For $20, players will gain access to tons upon tons of loot, new dungeons, and four unique character classes — which include the Engineer, the Outlander, the Berserker, and the newly announced Embermage. With the Engineer fulfilling the melee category, the Outlander delivering ranged combat, and the Berserker using a combination of animal and quick attacks, it came be assumed that the Embermage is your strictly magic-based class in Torchlight 2, probably with a proclivity for burning things....

After the nail-biting experience of Alien: Isolation, fans of high blood pressure can’t wait to see what’s next for Creative Assembly. With numerous Total War games under its belt, our attention now turns to the developer’s new FPS game, that a Sega executive has confirmed is still in development. The 33-year-old British studio - founded by Tim Ansell - began advertising in June 2018 for individuals to handle core gameplay systems, including world building, weapons, and player retention....
It’s been almost three years since the Sonic the Hedgehog series received a major new title, and in all that time, fans have heard next to nothing about what’s coming next. Sega has confirmed that a new Sonic game is in development, and it was assumed that it was going to be announced earlier this year. While that didn’t happen, Sega has stated that it still has big news to share, it’s just a matter of figuring out how to share it....
This Shameless review contains spoilers. Shameless Season 8 Episode 3 Well that escalated quickly into something great, didn’t it? Normally, Shameless builds across the span of a season to the moment when Gallaghers’ lives (and storylines) intersect. Otherwise, they’re mostly all off in their own debauched worlds, completely oblivious to the fact that Debbie is “with” poor Neal, or that Lip is no longer bound to his great expectations in college....
In many ways, I consider myself lucky to have grown up a horror film fan during the VHS/cable television era of entertainment. It was an arrangement that afforded many far too young individuals the opportunity to experience a sizeable chunk of horror history. At the same time, I’ve always been jealous of the generation who experienced the revolutionary horror films of the 1960s and ‘70s at the theater. This forlorn feeling was instilled in me by my dad and others who lived through that era of horror....
Now we’ve seen the trailer for The Sims 4: Eco Lifestyle it’s got us thinking. There are several things highlighted that we’re excited about and we can’t wait to see more. We’ll discover further details about the pack in the next few weeks leading up to release but we’ve already spotted several new features we can’t wait to experience. The theme was one that many didn’t expect, being a concept originally discussed back in 2017 as part of the community vote for Laundry Day Stuff....
Bethesda’s vice president of marketing says the developer wants Skyrim: Special Edition to feel like an upgrade for PS4 and XBO in “all the ways possible.” Bethesda’s The Elder Scrolls: Skryim is one of the best-selling RPGS of all-time and still has an active userbase five years after release. So it’s no surprise that Bethesda saw fit to announce a Special Edition version of the game at this year’s E3 for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One....
Tedious load times can make or break a game’s replayability factor, and next-gen consoles think they may have found the solution for this. With the next-gen consoles fast approaching, many wonder what sort of new advancements are going to be made to gaming as a whole. Microsoft and Sony developers recently revealed that the next step would take the form as a Solid State Drive (SSD), which will possibly pave the way for more interactive gaming experiences in the future by significantly reducing the strain of loading in-game features....
The creators of the PS5 and Xbox Series X are looking at different markets in the upcoming console war, as Sony is focusing on the US, while Microsoft is trying to gain a foothold in Japan. The Xbox brand has always struggled in Japan, which hasn’t been helped by Microsoft’s lack of interest in reaching Japanese gamers. The Japanese audience has generally looked to homegrown companies, like Nintendo and Sony, for their console gaming needs....
Spider-Man: Miles Morales is game that prides itself in spectacular representation of what it truly feels like to be Spider-Man. The game has a story on-par, if not better than many Spider-Man films you’ve most likely already seen, it lets you control a fluid, smooth, and responsive character as you swing around a concrete jungle, and the setting is very close the real thing. Fictional media always have artistic license, though, so despite being set in a real-world place, it may not be the most accurate presentation of that said location....
While VR has seen a recent spike in popularity – thanks to Oculus Quest 2 – AR continues to outpace it in the mobile marketplace. We’ve seen a few developers dabble with their own AR headsets (remember Google Glass?), but the bulk of augmented reality is currently happening on your smartphone. It’s a field undergoing rapid growth, and with that comes a lot of change. Driving that change is Trigger, a studio dedicated to AR technology, and one that collaborates with popular franchises such as Star Wars, Spider-Man, and even Lego....
Psyonix has confirmed multiplayer split-screen will return to Rocket League on Nintendo Switch for season two. If you had told us 20 years ago that the future would be filled with great games that cost nothing whatsoever to play, we would have called you crazy. Yet here we are in a world where even those lucky enough to have the newest consoles can game to their heart’s content without ever spending any money on an actual game if they don’t want to....
