Dead Cells Breaking Barriers Update Gives More Accessibility Options

1 year 10 months ago

A new update is now available for Dead Cells that gives players more options to tweak their runs to their liking alongside an Assist Mode on PC and all consoles, developers Evil Empire and Motion Twin announced today.

The studios said they worked closely with the Ablegamers organization and various Dead Cells community members to design and test these new settings in the Breaking Barriers update . The developers have wanted to expand accessibility in the game since last January, and even previewed some of the new options in our interview last April.

“The intent of this update is to allow players who struggle to, or cannot play, Dead Cells to be able to experience the game as we intended,” said an Evil Empire spokesperson in a statement. “We had feedback during beta testing that some people who don’t ‘need’ Assist Mode will use it regardless and the result is that they won’t play Dead Cells as a challenging roguelike. We’ve put multiple messages regarding this in-game, but in the end it’s up to the player how they want to enjoy the game.”

Sonic 3 Producer Reported Game’s Soundtrack Features Michael Jackson Music

1 year 10 months ago

After years of fan speculation and plenty of YouTube conspiracy theory videos, the best evidence that Michael Jackson worked on the Sonic 3 soundtrack was tweeted by the game’s producer earlier today.

Yuji Naka took to Twitter talking about how some songs in the Sonic Origins‘ version of Sonic 3 featured different music. While notable to dedicated fans of Sonic, simply changing tracks from the original game is not a major development to people who don’t even know what color Sonic’s arms are.

However, what came next is the best evidence of what could be considered a bit more of a bombshell. It’s the first official acknowledgment from a source as big as Naka that Jackson was involved in creating the Sonic 3 soundtrack. However, in a somewhat roundabout way, it seems like Naka is insinuating Jackson wrote music for the game without directly saying it. You can find Naka’s Tweet down below.

The mention of SEGA Official is in reference to a recent TikTok (See in Naka’s Tweet below) released by the company. He seemed surprised that they would use Jackson’s music in a video like this but then remove what is reportedly his compositions in this re-release of Sonic 3.

1 year 10 months ago

Wondering about how to get the UGM-8 LMG in Call of Duty: Warzone? Then, we have just the thing for you. A new season in Warzone has begun and as always, there’s no scarcity of content and things to do. This gun is a brand new LMG making its debut in Warzone Season 4. So, for those looking to test the UGM-8 LMG out, here’s how you can unlock the new weapon in Warzone and Vanguard Season 4.

How To Get The UGM-8 LMG in Call of Duty: Warzone

Getting your hands on the latest weapon is extremely easy and doesn’t need much effort from players. In order to unlock the UGM-8 LMG in Call of Duty: Warzone, you will need to reach Level 31 of the Warzone Season 4 Battle Pass. A great thing is that the weapon is a free tier reward, meaning you won’t even need to purchase the Battle Pass.

Once Warzone Season 4 comes to an end, the UGM-8 could be unlocked via weapon challenges, and we will update this guide once those challenges go live. The LMG is highly mobile and boasts a high fire rate.

Since Vanguard multiplayer, Zombies, and Warzone share the same battle pass progression, players won’t be tied to any one mode for this, and their progress across all three modes will add up and help them reach the desired level quickly. To speed the process further, you also have the option of using Battle Pass Tokens to skip battle pass levels/tiers.

A Plague Tale: Requiem Release Date Announced; Extended Gameplay Trailer Released

1 year 10 months ago

Today Focus Entertainment and Asobo Studio announced the release date of their upcoming stealth action-adventure game A Plague Tale: Requiem.

The game will launch on October 18, 2022, for PC, PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and Nintendo Switch. The Switch version will run via cloud streaming.

We also get to enjoy an extended gameplay trailer in which Amicia and Hugo find themselves in a very sticky situation, having to escape pursuing soldiers through a quarry.

They have to use stealth and Hugo’s powers to avoid the enemies, while those who cannot be avoided get to be killed with rather gruesome executions or straight combat.

At the end, it’s Hugo’s powers that get them out of trouble, but apparently out of the frying pan and straight into the fire.

You can check out the trailer below.

A Plague Tale: Requiem is the sequel of A Plague Tale: Innocence, which was released in 2019 for PC, PS4, and Xbox One, and then in 2021 for PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and Switch.

If you want to know more about the game’s predecessor, you can read our review.

Overwatch 2 Will Replace Original Overwatch When it Launches on October 4; Upcoming Hero Roadmap Confirmed

1 year 10 months ago

Many may have guessed this, but when Overwatch 2 releases, the original Overwatch will go the way of the dodo.

This was confirmed by game director Aaron Keller during an AMA on Reddit, clarifying that Overwatch 2 will fully replace the current live service.

“We’re using the term Early Access to indicate that this is just the start of many new things coming to the game. We’re launching with new heroes, maps and features, but there are even more of these coming seasonally – every 9 weeks. We recently released a roadmap detailing some of this content, with a new hero coming in Seasons 1 and 2, and a new map in Season 2. Additionally, larger pieces of the game that have always been a part of the vision for OW2 will be released to the game as part of the live service, including the launch of the PvE Campaign next year.

When OW2 launches on Oct 4th it will be a replacement for the current Live Service.”

Incidentally, during the same AMA Keller also confirmed what we can expect in terms of heroes going forward since the wording in past announcements was a bit vague and open to interpretation.

No Man’s Sky Will Finally Journey Onto Switch in Early October

1 year 10 months ago

Hello Games have announced that their massive space game No Man’s Sky will release onto the Nintendo Switch on Oct. 7, 2022. The Nintendo Switch port of the originally PlayStation 4 exclusive was first announced in February during a Nintendo Direct. Though, that original reveal was obviously a little off for the “this summer” estimation.

Another slice of news is that the Nintendo Switch version will be getting a physical release as well as digital. While this is celebrating the Nintendo Switch news, the same announcement mentions that the PlayStation 5 version will also be getting a physical release.

To accompany this release date and physical release news, Hello Games also shared a new trailer of the game for the Switch fans.

The Nintendo Switch edition of No Man’s Sky will include every single content update that the game has received since its original release in August 2016.

These updates, as shown off in the trailer, have been:

Alice Gear Aegis CS for PS5, PS4, & Nintendo Switch Gets New Trailer Showing Customization & Gameplay

Today Mages released a new trailer of its upcoming game Alice Gear Aegis CS: Concerto of Simulatrix.

The trailer showcases a look at the extensive customization suite included in the game, on top of a glimpse at battle gameplay.

If you’re wondering, this seems to be from the Nintendo Switch of the game, as shown by the button prompts at the bottom of the screen.

You can check out the video below.

Alice Gear Aegis CS: Concerto of Simulatrix will be released in Japan on September 8 for PS5, PS4, and Nintendo Switch. An upgrade from PS4 to PS5 will be provided at no additional cost. If you want to see more, you can enjoy first trailer, and another alongside plenty of gameplay.

If you’re not familiar with the original Alice Gear Aegis, it’s a popular mobile game released in 2017 with a PC version launched in 2019. It features a team of girls fighting against a mechanical life form called “Weiss.”

What Is a Melee Weapon in Fortnite? How to Dislodge or Destroy Runaway Boulders with a Melee Weapon

1 year 10 months ago

The Fortnite week 3 quests are now live in Chapter 3 Season 3 and one of them requires players to ‘Dislodge or destroy Runaway Boulders with a Melee Weapon.’ That may sound straightforward, save for one burning question on every player’s lips right now. What is a melee weapon in Fortnite? Well, here’s everything you need to know so you can complete this weekly quest and earn yourself an easy 15k XP.

What Is a Melee Weapon in Fortnite?

Melee weapons are anything that doesn’t require you to fire ammo. That means your Harvesting Tool (pickaxe) or the newly-released Lightsabers that came as part of the Fortnite 21.10 update earlier this week can be used to destroy or dislodge one of the Runaway Boulders and complete the challenge.

Lightsabers can be found at the Darth Vader landing spots, the location of which is revealed by following the Sith Lord’s ship as it flies past the Battle Bus at the start of the match.

However, given how much effort it is to get a Lightsaber given you’ll need to kill Darth Vader and his Stormtroopers to get it, we’d recommend just using your harvesting tool/ pickaxe to complete the challenge instead.

How to Dislodge or Destroy Runaway Boulders with a Melee Weapon

The Runaway Boulders themselves are found at the top of hills and mountains scattered around the Fortnite map. They’re large rocks, sitting on a bed of smaller rocks that are keeping them in place.

To dislodge or destroy one, simply get your harvester or Lightsaber out and attack the boulder or the rocks surrounding the bottom of it.

How to Dive and Swim in Assassin’s Creed Origins

Ubisoft’s biggest series is finally back with Assassin’s Creed Origins, giving players an expansive version of Ancient Egypt to explore. While making your way through Bayek’s journey there’ll be plenty to discover and experience. Of course, while traveling through Egypt you’ll need to use a few different ways to traverse the landscape like riding on horseback, using chariots, and swimming. Here’s what you need to know to dive and swim in the game.

To swim, all you need to do is jump in the water, and move Bayek along whichever direction you choose with the left analog stick. To dive, once you’re in the water just hit RB or R1 to dive underneath. After that just keep holding RB or R1 to keep swimming down/forward, or hold X (or A) to swim up and reach air. There’s plenty to explore in Assassin’s Creed Origins, so make sure to explore everywhere you can underwater as well as on land.

For more on Assassin’s Creed Origins, be sure to check out our wiki.

More About Assassin’s Creed Origins

Assassin’s Creed Origins is the return of Ubisoft’s series after taking a couple of years off. In addition to new gameplay features like a revamped combat system and equipment system, the game also tells the story behind how the Assassin Brotherhood came to be from the eyes of one of its founders, Bayek.

How to Get Among Us Backbling & Emote in Fortnite

1 year 10 months ago

Fortnite has been a hotbed of crossovers lately, and that doesn’t seem to be slowing down anytime soon. This time around just makes sense when you consider the rampant popularity of the two games. We’re here to tell you when Among Us is coming out on Fortnite.

How to Get Among Us Items in Fortnite

The Among Us collaboration is available right now, and you can get your hands on a back bling and emote. All you need to do to obtain the Crewmate Back Bling and Distraction Dance Emote is to purchase either the Among Us game or the game’s Star currency from the Epic Games Store.

There’s even an announcement tweet with an adorable video on the official Among Us twitter account.

Among Us is currently available for $4.99 and the cheapest pack of Stars is available for $2.99. It is unclear if you can buy stars without already owning the full Among Us game.

Make sure this purchase is done with the same Epic Games account that is tied to your Fortnite account to avoid an unnecessary purchase.

Alternatively, you can now purchase the Among Us bundle from the Item Shop for 600 V-Bucks in Fortnite.

The 10 Best Video Games That Are Entirely in Black and White

While far from the most important aspect of a video game, a standout visual style can do wonders for elevating an experience.

In the interest of highlighting the games that have been the most successful at pulling off this monochromatic feat, here are the best video games that are entirely in black and white.

When Does House of the Dragon Come Out on HBO?

Psychological Horror, Smile, Will Leave You Grinning Like a Cheshire Cat

1 year 10 months ago

Late yesterday, Paramount Pictures dropped the debut trailer for its upcoming psychological horror pic, Smile, and to be frank, it’s a real doozie especially for all you gore-hounds out there.

Go ahead and behold the brand new footage down below… if you so dare!

Clocking in at just over two minutes long, Smile really gives us the heebie-jeebies. Written and directed by Parker Finn (Laura Hasn’t Slept, The Hide Behind), the film centers on a psychiatric doctor who, after witnessing a horrific accident, begins to slowly lose her mind.

This all culminates in her seeing an unhealthy amount of people, well, smiling… constantly. Pretty unsettling, right? Oh, and it looks like that some sort of mysterious smiling monster may perhaps be stalking her. Think along the lines of The Ring, but with way more grinning. *shivers*

Starring Scream: The TV Series’ Sosie Bacon, Scream (2022)’s Kyle Gallner, The Boys’ Jessie T. Usher, and Stranger Things‘ Rob Morgan, Smile is scheduled to launch exclusively in theaters on Sept. 30, 2022.

For more information, here’s an official description courtesy of Paramount Pictures:

How Fast Is Hyperspace in Star Wars? Answered

1 year 10 months ago

Wondering how fast is hyperspace in Star Wars? Well, we’ve got you covered. In this guide, we’ll answer that all-important question so you needn’t worry. Without further ado, then, let’s get started.

What’s the Speed of Hyperspace in Star Wars?

Firstly, let’s get this out of the way: hyperspace is actually an alternate dimension that can only be reached by travelling at the speed of light. The speed of light — well, in our universe, anyway — is 299 792 458 metres per second.

We know that interstellar space travel in Star Wars can take hours between nearby systems and even days between faraway sectors. In addition, we also know that the Millennium Falcon is one of the fastest ships in its class with a hyperdrive system that is allegedly one of the the fastest in the galaxy.

With that in mind, then, it’s fair to say that some Star Wars ships’ hyperdrive systems are faster than others. It seems that civilian ships are usually the slowest of the bunch, with Imperial Star Destroyers and the Millennium Falcon on the opposite end of the spectrum.

Here’s an interesting nugget of intel straight from the horse’s mouth, though. In an interview with IGN, the co-writer of Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, Gary Whitta, had this to say about traveling in hyperspace:

The way I heard it was hyperspace moves at the speed of plot, which is, whatever is the most dramatically interesting time it takes to get from somewhere to somewhere else, that’s how long it takes.

Is Earth Part of Star Wars Canon? Answered

1 year 10 months ago

If you’re wondering whether Earth is part of the Star Wars canon, here’s what you need to know. There are many planets in a galaxy far, far away that Star Wars fans are intimately aware of: Tatooine, Coruscant, and the forest moon of Endor are just a few examples.

But what about Earth?

After all, the humans in Star Wars are identical to those on Earth, with no distinguishing features that greatly set them apart as a species. This might lead one to assume that they originated from our Earth, or at least a planet very similar to it. Let’s get into it.

Is Earth Part of Star Wars Canon?

Unfortunately, the answer to this question isn’t as clear-cut as one might expect. Earth was canon in Star Wars prior to Lucasfilm’s discontinuation of the Expanded Universe in 2014, but is now only potentially canon.

Earth used to be canon by way of the Star Tours Travel Agency, the in-universe company that conducted the previously canonical Star Tours rides found in Disneyland, Walt Disney World, Tokyo Disney Resort, and Disneyland Paris. One could argue it’s a bit of a technicality, but the Star Tours Travel Agency specifically exited from Earth before traveling via hyperspace through many Star Wars locations and then returning its passengers back where they started. The existence of the ride meant that Earth was canon in Star Wars up until the Expanded Universe was decanonized in 2014.

As of 2022, the reason Earth might still be canon is due to the inclusion of a planet simply called “Earth” in the Chinese web-novel titled The Vow of Silver Dawn. The novel was explicitly deemed canon by Lucasfilm Ltd. and Earth, which is the capital of the Heaven System, features prominently across the novel’s 300+ chapters.

Final Episode of Pokemon: Hisuian Snow Is Out Now

1 year 10 months ago

Pokemon: Hisuian Snow is just one of the many brilliant series of animated shorts that the Pokemon Company has released on YouTube, and the final episode is available to watch now. The three episodes in this series explore the Hisui region, following a young boy named Alec who forms a friendship with a special Zorua.

The previous two episodes have been released within the past few weeks and were an absolute delight to watch. The animation is stellar, and the story is quite engaging, especially for fans of the recently released Pokemon Legends: Arceus, since it takes place in the same ancient region.

Another thing that makes Pokemon: Hisuian Snow special is that the lead character Alec is voiced by Chris Hackney who plays the role of Dimitri in Fire Emblem: Three Houses.

The final episode, called Two Hues, is roughly 12 minutes in length, bringing the grand total for all three combined to be about 30 minutes in duration. Here’s what the finale is all about:

While remembering his time with Hisuian Zorua, the older Alec finally arrives in the Hisui region. But the question remains: what became of their friendship? Watch now to discover if humans and Pokemon can coexist in the third and final episode of Pokemon: Hisuian Snow, “Two Hues”!

1 year 10 months ago

Whether you are casually racing around the track or putting the pedal to the metal trying to vie for pole position, chances are, sound is going to be an important aspect of the F1 22 experience. And with Codemasters now a part of the EA family, we can count an official licensed soundtrack as part of the package for F1 22.

For the first time in the franchise’s history, there will be a custom soundtrack accompanying players when they are in between races. “Charli XCX, Meduza, Diplo, Jacknife & The Bloody Beetroots, and BRUX ft Kimbra headline a heart-racing soundtrack comprised of 33 global artists who pioneer the electric dance genre, reflecting cultures from the Miami beaches to the narrow streets of Monaco,” the press release stated.

For Steve Schnur, President of Music at Electronic Arts, the official soundtrack is meant to help enhance the excitement when it comes to racing for players.

“We wanted the very first EA SPORTS F1 soundtrack to heighten the rush players can experience from the pinnacle of motorsports. The 33 artists from 13 nations represent the defining talents of Electronic music, reflect the new era of Formula 1, and deliver a soundtrack that accelerates through the curves via the diversity, velocity and unpredictability of unrivalled collaborations.”

When Does Star Wars Rebels Take Place on the Timeline?

1 year 10 months ago

With so many different movies, TV shows, novels, comic books, and video games now comprising the canonical Star Wars timeline, it can sometimes be difficult to figure out the exact place each entry falls in relation to the others.

This is especially true for lengthier releases like Star Wars Rebels, which aired for 75 episodes from 2014 to 2018. It was the first to introduce several elements to the canon that have appeared in other Star Wars properties, which makes knowledge of its place in the timeline all the more important to know.

When Does Star Wars Rebels Take Place on the Timeline?

In the context of the Skywalker Saga, Star Wars Rebels takes place between Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith and Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope. More specifically, it begins in 5 BBY (Before the Battle of Yavin depicted in A New Hope) and ends in 0 BBY.

To put things into further perspective, Star Wars Rebels takes place after releases like Solo: A Star Wars Story (10 BBY) and the Obi-Wan Kenobi series on Disney+ (9 BBY), but before Rogue One: A Star Wars Story (0 BBY).

One of the largest additions Rebels made to canon that’s still consistently showing up in newer releases is the Inquisitorius: a group of Force-sensitive dark side wielders (called Inquisitors) who hunt down the surviving Jedi after the execution of Order 66 in Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith. They first appeared in the premiere of Rebels, and have since gone on to feature heavily in video games like Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order and series like Obi-Wan Kenobi.

TMNT: Shredder’s Revenge Review – Bodacious Arcade Nostalgia

1 year 10 months ago

TMNT: Shredder’s Revenge on PS4

Like many 90s kids, TMNT: Turtles In Time was a pretty beloved game for me. Whether I was out at the arcade or renting titles for the SNES at Blockbuster, this multiplayer beat ’em always took priority, as its action, visuals, and gameplay were simple but so enjoyable to play. It didn’t take long into playing TMNT: Shredder’s Revenge for a wave of nostalgia to crash over me.

Playing TMNT: Shredder’s Revenge made me feel like I was back at Grotto Pizza, playing on the arcade cabinet with friends as I waited for one of the greasiest slices of pizza on the east coast. Throughout multiple playthroughs, that fond feeling of remembrance never let up, as it became abundantly clear that the developers at Tribute Games really knew what they were doing.

The story of TMNT: Shredder’s Revenge is pretty straightforward, as it sees our heroes chasing and fighting their usual rogue’s gallery of villains across the city. Classic levels have been remixed across the game, as locations like The Manhattan Project sewers and hoverboard sections get a cool modernized look and appeal.

1 year 10 months ago

It has been quite a ride for Obi-Wan Kenobi, as the Disney+ series finally comes to its conclusion. Depending on your preference, you may have enjoyed the fleshing out of one of Star Wars’ beloved characters, or struggled with how it might have affected canon. Either way, the buzz for old Ben Kenobi remains, and those of the former persuasion might be eager for more. So, if you are wondering about when does Obi-Wan Season 2 come out on Disney+, read on.

Will There Be a Season 2 of Obi-Wan Kenobi?

As of now, there has been no official confirmation that Season 2 of Obi-Wan Kenobi is in the works, but that could easily change considering the relative success of the series on Disney+. Even so, we know that stars Ewan McGregor and Hayden Christensen are keen on exploring more stories for both Obi-Wan Kenobi and by extension, Darth Vader.

“I really hope we do another,” McGregor said. “If I could do one of these every now and again — I’d just be happy about it,” he shared when speaking to British GQ. As for Christensen, he echoed the same thoughts when speaking to RadioTimes.

“It was definitely conceived as a standalone story, but I would love to continue with this character. You know, I think there’s certainly more there to explore and I would be so excited to get to do so.”

Conan Exiles Lead Designer: “I Think There’s Almost No Question that Conan Exiles 2 Happens”

1 year 10 months ago

Conan Exiles has been among the most beloved survival games on the market for five years, and some may wonder if a sequel is in the cards.

During a livestream to introduce the new expansion “Age of Sorcery” that will come in Q3 this year, Lead Designer Dennis Douthett provided his personal answer to this question.

“I think there is almost no question that Exiles 2 happens. That just becomes a matter of when.”

Douthett added that this is “not a promise, just an observation.” Said observation came in the context that it’s not possible to post Conan Exiles into Unreal Engine 5, because there are too many custom features created specifically for the game on top of the Unreal Engine 4.15 base.

It’s possible to port some features of the following versions of Unreal Engine into Conan Exiles, but not to fully port the game to the newest version of the engine.

As a funny note of color, someone from the audience asked if a new map with dinosaurs would be possible, and Douthett mentioned that while people joke, the team talked about it, and there’s a “specific time and place in the lore that make sense” for Funcom “to have a new map with dinosaurs, potentially.”

Again, he clarified that’s “not a promise, just an observation,” and it’s challenging to understand how much of that was a joke. That being said, it’d be pretty awesome if it ever happened.

Where Was Obi-Wan Kenobi During Order 66 in Star Wars?

1 year 10 months ago

Now that the Obi-Wan Kenobi series has shined more light on the events of Order 66, Star Wars fans and newcomers are beginning to examine the history of the horrific massacre. Looking back, we see Yoda and the Wookies fighting against unbeatable odds, while others died at the hands of their comrades. But where was Obi-Wan Kenobi during Order 66? The only way to answer this is by reviewing the timeline of his whereabouts.

Where Was Obi-Wan Kenobi During Order 66 in Star Wars? Answered

During the slaughter of Order 66 in Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith, Obi-Wan Kenobi was on a mission to find General Grievous in Utapau, while Anakin Skywalker stayed behind to spy on Chancellor Palpatine. Kenobi fought bravely against the evil Jedi hunter and won but soon learned that the battle was not over once Order 66 began.

Shortly after, the clone troopers shoot to kill the Jedi Master while he rides his trusty varactyl, and the two fall to their doom. Fortunately, Kenobi safely lands in a body of water and immediately hides before anyone can find him. His plan goes successfully, and he returns to a destroyed Jedi Temple, where he learns of his pupil’s betrayal.
