Rocket League has gone cross-platform following an announcement that promised as much last month. The new Friends Update V1.58 has seen the feature emerge, with the game having become just the second PlayStation 4 cross-play title as part of the “PlayStation Cross-Play Beta Program.” Season 10 kicked off on Tuesday and is offering more than just the luxury of matchmaking across different consoles. An auto-generated RocketID allows players to search for and add friends to parties and clubs, also letting them view a list of 25 recent players met online....

It’s that time of year. Summer turns into fall, the leaves begin to change color, and the NFL season is upon us! If you’re like me, you probably spent most of opening Sunday glued to your TV, while cheering or cursing away at your fantasy team’s ups and downs. It’s the beginning of a long few months for those of us; getting together for food and drinks while you watch your favorite teams pit against each other on the gridiron....

According to a new rumor, Game of Thrones creator George R.R. Martin is working on a video game with FromSoftware. Conan O’Brien once had a sketch on his show that depicted the humorous lengths that George R.R. Martin would go to in order to avoid writing The Winds of Winter, which is the upcoming sixth entry in the A Song of Ice and Fire novel series that has been adapted into the Game of Thrones TV show....

It’s been 3 months since Shin Megami Tensei: Nocturne HD Remaster released in Japan on PlayStation 4 and Nintendo Switch, with no update from Atlus regarding its western release since August 2020, when the game was revealed. Since then, Atlus has shifted gears to promoting the launch for Persona 5 Strikers next month, leaving fans questioning when Shin Megami Tensei: Nocturne HD’s “Spring 2021” release window will be narrowed down. Thanks to Austrian games retailer Gameware, fans may know when they can expect this highly anticipated JRPG remaster....

This morning’s Nintendo Direct Mini presentation saw the announcement of a ton of great third-party releases coming to the Nintendo Switch. Titles including Ori and the Will of the Wisps, Monster Hunter Rise, and others will help flesh out Nintendo’s Switch release schedule in 2020 and 2021. One of those big announcements came as an exciting surprise. It’s Rune Factory 5, the latest RPG/life-sim from developer Hakama. It’s hard to believe that its been 8 years since the release of Rune Factory 4 on the Nintendo 3DS....

The San Francisco Shock have won their second consecutive Overwatch League season title after defeating the Seoul Dynasty 4-2 in the 2020 Grand Final. The Shock are the first team to ever win two back-to-back Overwatch League titles, after having defeated the Vancouver Titans in last year’s championship. The Shock take home the $1.5 million grand prize. Like all other esports, the Overwatch League had its own struggles amid the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic....

Usually when a major game has reached its third installment, players know exactly what to expect. While that may be true with the Assassin’s Creed series’ gameplay, the story is another animal entirely. With Assassin’s Creed: Revelations once again adding depth to the mysterious history of assassins and Templars, the actual plot lines are more conjecture than fact at this point. At San Diego Comic Con this week, the panel of developers working on the game gave a few more ideas of how gameplay will be changing, and even hinting at how the game will begin....

This review contains She-Hulk spoilers Our She-Hulk: Attorney at Law reviews will be adopting a different format than the one we use for MCU shows with longer episodes; more of a breakdown that we hope will still satisfy regular readers but also help those less familiar with the MCU keep up. With that in mind, let’s take a look at episode one, “A Normal Amount of Rage”. The Case: What Happened?...

This She-Hulk review contains spoilers. She-Hulk Episode 5 Like many (most?) other half-hour comedies, She-Hulk: Attorney at Law has taken a few episodes to settle into its groove. Between the series’ controversial fourth-wall-breaking narration and its embrace of a purposefully broad brand of humor that ranges from self-deprecating to downright uncomfortable, the show has definitely established itself as something very different from everything in the Marvel Cinematic Universe that’s come before it....

Few people have left their mark on the gaming world like Sid Meier. Meier, whose name adorns the box covers of retro classics such as Railroad Tycoon, Pirates!, and, most notably, Civilization, reflects on more than three decades in the gaming industry in his recently-released book, Sid Meier’s Memior!: A Life in Computer Games. In his own words, he draws on a lifetime of experiences to share how these ideas sparked the inspiration for his repertoire of more than 50 video games....

The Medium developer Bloober Team has come out and denied a recent “leak” that claimed the studio is working on a Silent Hill under one the codenames “Black” or “Dum Spiro”. The codenames of three Bloober Team projects were recently discovered after Bloober filed for EU funding, forcing the team to describe the potential plots of these projects in its application. The three codenames discovered are H2O, Black, and Dum Spiro, the former being the codename for Layers of Fear 2....

Hating The Sims 4 seems to be a trend right now. While Simmers are taking to social channels to measure the game up against its predecessors and find it lacking, I’ve always loved it. Yes, it was pretty much a trash fire when it released, but over time, it’s become a game that I’ve racked up more hours in than any other and has been an escape and comfort when I’ve needed it....

Mike Zaimont is known to be an outspoken individual in the fighting game community. However, it’s not his fighting game hot takes that have riled people up this time. Instead, it’s an insensitive joke he told during a Skullgirls tournament being streamed on Twitch. The incident took place partway through Once More Once!, an online tournament for Skullgirls — a game that Zaimont is the programmer and lead designer for. He was acting as a commentator for most of the tournament’s runtime....

Mudcrabs are one of the most joked about enemies among players of the Elder Scrolls series of games. Aside from rats, mudcrabs are probably the weakest enemy in the game, making them perfect for players looking to gain some easy experience points. Later on, most players will completely avoid mudcrabs, unless they have decided to gather ingredients from the poor creatures. Despite being used as an early experience farm, mudcrabs actually have a ton of cool abilities and lore that fans of the series should know about....

Magic is one of the least balanced aspects of Skyrim, but that doesn’t mean it’s an unpopular choice. In fact, increasingly, more and more players are choosing to experience Skyrim from the perspective of a pure mage, which makes matters significantly more difficult. While the mage build isn’t all that bad at the beginning of the game, it does make the player vulnerable against certain types of enemies and forces them to play in a much more strategic manner....

If there’s one game that will never die no matter how much we want it, it’s The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim. It’s been ported to pretty much every console on the planet, and the total amount of hours played by everyone who has ever played it is probably enough man-hours to synthesize a cure for all known cancers it if was actually spent doing something productive. I’ve beaten the game twice, and I can attest that it has a way of consuming your life like World of Warcraft or Everquest could actually do....

Video games have made unbelievable progress since their humble beginnings, but the Super Nintendo is a system that’s still fondly remembered. Emulators can be a controversial tool in the gaming world, but they help make a number of games accessible in a way that is often otherwise impossible. The SNES has dozens of iconic video games that have made undeniable marks, but there are all plenty of titles that have fallen through the cracks or just straight-up never got released in certain regions of the world....

Sonic fans on PC haven’t exactly had an easy time with the series’ latest release, Sonic Mania. Not only was the game delayed on PC, but once it finally made its debut on the platform, players were confronted with an unwanted feature. Yesterday, PC players began to note that the Steam version of Sonia Mania requires an Internet connection, and many blamed it on the game’s Denuvo DRM system. The Steam Store page for the game made no mention of the always online requirement nor the Denuvo DRM, and many of them were incredibly upset....
