So far, Marvel’s Avengers has incorporated characters that are primarily associated with the Avengers, with the likes of Captain America, Black Widow, Iron Man, Hulk and even the young superfan Ms. Marvel. But the recent announcement of Spider-Man coming as an exclusive character to the PlayStation versions of the game, a character who is mostly not associated with being on the Avengers team, has raised some questions on who else could show up in Crystal Dynamics’ game....

2K Games and Firaxis Games released another trailer for the turn-based tactical game Marvel’s Midnight Suns, dedicated to one of its playable protagonist. This video is all about the Hunter, which is the customizable hero that serves as the main character of the game. Speaking of customization, we don’t get to see just glimpses of gameplay and cutscenes, but also a quick look at the character customization itself. You’ll be able to completely customize the Hunter to create your ideal superhero to serve as your alter-ego in the game....

Metroid Prime 4 being delayed was a bittersweet announcement. It’s disappointing that we won’t be seeing it for awhile, but it is a comforting thought that Retro Studios is on the project now. To hold fans over, it would make sense to release a Nintendo Switch port of the Metroid Prime Trilogy. This has been rumored in the past, but a Switch collection could already be completed. According to Game Informer’s Senior Editor, Imran Khan, the Switch port of the Metroid Prime Trilogy has already been completed....

Hype Performance Group is working on one of the first helicopters for Microsoft Flight Simulator even before official support comes with the 40th-Anniversary Edition. Interestingly, the Airbus H145 and its Action Pack add-on are offered in early access, which is a rare business model for flight simulator add-ons. In order to hear more about the developer’s work, Twinfinite talked with Hype Performance Group’s co-founder Steve Daniels. Giuseppe: Hype Performance Group is a developer that started pretty much with Microsoft Flight Simulator....

Today both Microsoft and third-party developers had news to share about Microsoft Flight Simulator and its add-ons. We start with learning that the much-anticipated Sim Update 10 is finally coming tomorrow, November 21, as announced on the official Discord server. It’ll launch at 8:00 am PDT, 11:00 am EDT, 4:00 pm BST, or 5:00 pm CEST, depending on where you live. If you go by Zulu time, it’ll be at 1500....

Today, Microsoft announced its financial results for the third quarter of the fiscal year 2022, related to the period between January 1, 2022, and March 31. The presentation included an update on the performance of the More Personal Computing business, which includes Microsoft’s gaming division and the Xbox brand. You can check out all the relevant figures for the segment in the slides below. We learn that Microsoft’s gaming revenue grew 6% year-on-year ($3....

The suspected specifications for Intel’s new Alder Lake motherboards have been leaked. This information comes from Twitter user @momomo_us who posted the alleged specs of the H670, B660, and H610 motherboards. As with all leaks, take this with a moderate pinch of salt. But, the information here is certainly interesting to talk about nonetheless. With the release of Intel’s z960 chipset, it would make sense if Intel wanted to introduce some cheaper options to join it soon....

This article comes from Den of Geek UK. This is a bit harsh: Die Another Day doesn’t deserve the opprobrium heaped upon it. Not to say it’s good; just not utterly irredeemable. It’s practically a curse for some, and now a contender for Worst James Bond Movie Ever. Perhaps its greatest problem is tonal. For a while it seems we might get the hard-hitting Bond that Pierce Brosnan so deserved; then suddenly we’re in an ice palace and Bond’s borrowed a car from Harry Potter....

The Mother series, better known as EarthBound outside of Japan, has always been the black sheep of the Nintendo franchise family. It’s only due to Ness & Lucas’ appearance in Super Smash Bros. that many people are even aware of the series, due to how little attention the games have received. Nintendo has no problem selling the original Super Mario Bros. game for the umpteenth time, but they have always seemed reticent to try and squeeze any money out of the EarthBound/Mother series....

If you’re new to the Trigun series, the naming conventions of its anime and manga likely has you a bit confused. Telling apart Trigun from Trigun Reloaded, Trigun Badlands Rumble, and Trigun Stampede offers its own challenges, and that’s before taking into account how each plays into the larger series. As such, we wouldn’t blame you if you’ve been left wondering: Is Trigun Stampede a remake, a reimagining, or a continuation of the original series?...

When people talk about the great storytellers of the modern era, J.K. Rowling should always be included on the list. The narrative of her writing of the Harry Potterseries is one often defined by good luck, creativity, and — yes — a little bit of magic. However, that muse-centric, fairy tale structure is a lazy, simplistic way of talking about Rowling’s skill with story. It takes away from the extreme intelligence, capacity for hard work, and storytelling genius that Rowling possesses....

It’s not uncommon for actors and other creators who win televised awards to use their time at the podium as a time to speak out against a particular social issue they feel deserves the spotlight. When Joaquin Phoenix won the award for Best Actor at this year’s British Academy of Film and Television Arts (BAFTA) Awards, which aired on Sunday night, the Joker actor used the time to discuss the systemic racism of the Hollywood system, holding himself and other privileged people within the industry accountable for making the filmmaking system a more inclusive place....

Release Date: January 28, 2020Platform: PS4 (reviewed), Xbox One, PCDeveloper: Typhoon StudiosPublisher: 505 GamesGenre: Action-adventure The first game from Typhoon Studios is called Journey to the Savage Planet, and it’s a colorful sci-fi experience that is very easy to fall in love with. The game wins you over so hard in the first hours – despite the fact that it’s far from the first planet exploration game to hit the market, and it surely won’t be the last either – that you’ll find yourself forgiving any flaws that pop up later....

The long-awaited final form of Kentucky Route Zero is getting a physical edition on Switch. The cartridge version of Kentucky Route Zero: TV Edition is already available for pre-order on iam8bit and is planned to ship early in the third quarter of 2020. In line with the secretive development of the game, not many details have been revealed about what will actually come with this limited edition other than vague selling points like: “Definitely a Physical Game for Nintendo Switch” and “Includes Secret Components, Exclusively Available Only @ iam8bit....

Warhorse Studios’ upcoming RPG, Kingdom Come” Deliverance has received some brand new gameplay footage. The video focuses on a mission in which players have to search and find a bandit camp. The interesting aspect of the following footage is the fact that the player can engage combat right away or he can try a more diplomatic procedure. The video features also some commentary from the developers. Keep in mind that the game will be released on PS4, Xbox One and PC on February 13th, 2018....

Acclaimed videogame designer Hideo Kojima recently released some early concepts of Death Stranding. At this point, the game was still called Dead Stranding, and Kojima still didn’t have anywhere close to a fully developed image of what the game would look like in its final form. Kojima’s character designer, Yoji Shinkawa, sent him some early concepts while the two were simply talking about what the game might become. Kojima posted a tweet with the drawings for his followers....

Humble Bundle has for a long time been one of the go-to destinations for gamers looking for cheap games. Not only is there a wide range of ever-changing bundles and heavily discounted games to choose from, you also get to support different charities with your purchases. If you’re a regular Humble customer and not already signed up to their Humble Choice membership service, we have a few great reasons why you might want to consider joining....

It’s League of Legends patch time again! This time around we have some smaller balance changes overall with bigger Wukong nerfs, Kayn buffs, and some changes to Sanguine Blade to hopefully make it more appealing to AD assassins. Now, without further ado, let’s go through the update for League of Legends patch 10.9. Champion changes in patch 10.9 Bard — Nerf Bard will have his Caretaker’s Shrine (W) cooldown increased from 12 seconds to 14 seconds....

Yesterday, we provided a sneak peek at the next set for Legends of Runeterra, Beyond the Bandlewood. The set contains nine new champions, two new keywords, and 126 new cards in total. After our discussion with James Hata and Alexzandros Lee from Riot Games, we got to spend almost three hours with Beyond the Bandlewood in playtesting. During this time we were provided codes to make decks for each of the new archetypes in the set....

Life is Strange is getting a limited edition boxed released early next year, Square Enix has announced. Available across Europe from January 22, the limited edition features the complete series alongside bonus digital and physical goodies, including the game’s soundtrack, a 32-page art book, and a director’s commentary. You can see what it looks like in the image above. “The response to Life is Strange really has blown us away,” said Luc Baghadoust, producer at DONTNOD Entertainment, “to be able to share that experience with our fans in a traditional boxed format is something we’re really excited about and the decision to include the extra items for the Limited Edition is a direct response to fan requests....
