Well, it’s certainly sticking to its word, as the first announced DLC pack for the upcoming wrestling game is pretty out there. Going under the title of “WWE 2K20Originals,” each DLC pack will introduce players to a “Fictional Realm” that contains themed skins, arenas, 2K Towers, and a Showcase campaign....

The logistics are tough though The Director of Programming for Xbox, Mike Ybarra, wants bigger party sizes. Speaking to Game Informer, Ybarra notes that although the current limit is 12, he wants to go much higher, starting with an upcoming update that will raise that cap to 16. When asked about raising it further, he stated, “I’d love to get that to 64 because that’ll get Battlefield and games like that which do 64 vs....

If you’re still not satisfied, you can enable the use of Godlike Features to make your characters look distinct....

The Game Awards have started to feelmore like an advertising campaign than an awards show, but it still is an important way for the best games of the year to get some major recognition. TGA is heading towards its 11th year, and in the past decade it’s had the chance to highlight some of the best games ever made. 2014 – Dragon Age: Inquisition – Bioware The Other Contenders The Game Awards kicked off in 2014, and that year’s top contenders and GotY winner established a bit of a trend for the show – the tendency to favor sprawling, open-world fantasy games over smaller titles and sequels over new IP....

The late adopters continually have justification for putting off purchasing a new console. You know, as long as they don’t mind the extra time on legacy systems. The latest reasoning comes from Amazon in a sneaky good deal. Amazon’s offering a PlayStation 4 bundled with a year-long subscription to PlayStation Plus for $399.99. We haven’t seen the PS4 go down in price yet (like Xbox One has), so the best you’re able to hope for is some sweet pack-ins....

18 minutes of gameplay via IGN Assassin’s Creed: Origins‘s director Ashraf Ismail sat down to play a new mission with IGN in a new 18-minute gameplay video. As pointed out byPush Square, Ismail states that they are removing some frustrating aspects like auto-failing a mission whenever you are detected or when you accidentally leave the mission area. This was one of my main gripes withAssassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag. Not only were a vast majority of the missions boring espionage or tailing objectives, requiring you to remain in blue circle, but it was so easy to accidentally leave the mission zone or get seen, forcing lots of trial and error which left the overall game experience muddled....

Bethesda Game Studios’ Todd Howard opened the 2012 D.I.C.E. Summit with his talk, titled “Why We Play, Why We Create.” Duringthe keynote, he revealed a startling figure: the average play time forThe Elder Scrolls V: Skyrimon Steam is 75 hours. I didn’t catch the entire talk, but there was one part everyone is rightly excited about. After completingSkyrim, the team was allowed a week to work on whatever they wanted and put it in the game....

The follow-up is here TwoMonster Huntergames in one day?! Well I’d never. Right after giving us the bombshell ofMonster Hunter Risefor Switch, Capcom followed that up with a sequel toMonster Hunter Stories. It’s calledMonster Hunter Stories 2(duh) with theWings of Ruinsubtitle, and is slated to arrive on Switch in the summer of 2021. Additionally, it’ll have some sort of vague ability to connect toMonster Hunter Rise. More information for both titles is said to come later this month at TGS, so maybe we’ll hear more about that aspect then....

The spiritual successor to City of Heroes City of Titans, a game being made to fill in the empty space left in our hearts whenCity of Heroeswas closed, managed to raise double its goal onKickstarter. The goal was $320,000 and Missing Worlds Media managed to raise $678,189 in 33 days. While that is a lot of money, it doesn’t seem like enough to develop an MMO to me. I would love to see a revival ofCity of Heroes, but creating an MMO seems like a pretty daunting task for a new studio with less than $1 million....
