Ubisoft Pulls Licenses for The Crew, Makes the Game Completely Inaccessible to Buyers

From the same company trying to sell you a $130 version of Star Wars Outlaws.

From announcing a $130 edition of Star Wars Outlaws to pulling game licenses from those that bought The Crew, Ubisoft sure is on a roll this week.

The Crew was Ubisoft's open-world racing game that was pulled from sale back in December 2023. As of March 31, 2024, Ubisoft shut down the online servers for The Crew. This effectively made the game unplayable across all platforms, including: PC,...
 

Tim Sweeney Called Valve 'Assholes' in Email to Gabe Newell, Valve COO Says 'You Mad Bro?'

Tim Sweeney is always mad.

The antitrust lawsuit against Valve from Wolfire Games got a little spicy this week. To quickly get you up to speed: Wolfire claims that Valve uses its position with Steam to control game prices and muscle out competition. Though the initial lawsuit against Valve was dismissed, Wolfire amended their suit in May 2022 and the legal battle was back on.

It may have taken almost two years, but we are now starting to see some of the documents that...
 

900 People Laid Off Across Multiple PlayStation Studios

Multiple studios across all SIE regions impacted.

President and CEO of Sony Interactive Entertainment, Jim Ryan, announced the layoffs to the public today. The public statement came after an email was sent to all employees informing them of the layoffs. From Ryan's...
 

Xbox Confirms PlayStation 5 Releases, Diablo 4 on Game Pass, and Future Hardware Plans

No, Starfield and Indiana Jones are not going multi-platform any time soon.

The heads of Xbox stayed true to their word and were indeed a part of a special edition of the Official Xbox Podcast. During today's pre-recorded podcast and subsequent blog post, head of Xbox Phil Spencer stated that four Xbox exclusives are going to be multi-platform releases. Is it Starfield? Indiana Jones? Gears of War? Halo?! No, no, no, and no. Though Spencer did not specify what those four titles ...
 

Embracer Lays Off 97 Employees from Eidos; Cancels New Deus Ex

Embracer's rampage continues.

Eidos-Montreal, a development studio currently under the Embracer umbrella, made the sad announcement that employees at the studio were being laid off. Eidos took to social media to confirm that 97 people have been let go "from development teams, administration, and support services".

    Battlefield 2042 Gameplay Video - A Look at Renewal, Breakaway, and Discarded Maps

    Get a fresh look at three other maps that aren't Orbital.

    If you've been keeping up with any of the Battlefield 2042 media releases over the past several months, chances are you've seen a boatload of the game's "Orbital" map. It was the map featured in the recent beta and the earlier technical test.

    Thankfully, DICE and EA have finally realized we're probably sick of seeing that map and needed something fresh to look at. That's why today saw the release of a...

    Latest Battlefield 2042 Trailer is so 'Call of Duty' It Hurts

    The world is on the brink of destruction as extreme weather ravages the lands and factions fight for resources, but what a time to be alive!

    Hey, so... DICE and EA put out a new trailer for Battlefield 2042 today and, uh, it's kind of bad. It's almost as if the marketing teams saw what Activision does with Call of Duty trailers in terms of tone and audience, and went, "yes, this is brilliant."

    It's not. It's really not. In fact, I'm going to say that this is...

    DICE Shares What They Learned from the Battlefield 2042 Beta

    Specialists are still here to stay though.

    DICE has a new and rather lengthy write-up about what they learned from the recent Battlefield 2042 beta that took place. First and foremost, the Specialists are here to stay. You may want to get used to them now because the "traditional" classes as you have come to know them from previous titles are no more.

    DICE says that they "see Specialists as the next evolution of the classic Battlefield class system that will...

    Five Additional Specialists Revealed for Battlefield 2042

    New Specialists bring new abilities to the Battlefield.

    Love them or hate them, the Specialists are here to stay in Battlefield 2042. The recent beta for the game only featured four out of the ten Specialists that the game will launch with, which often made it seem like there was a lack of variety between players. Most people definitely gravitated towards the grapple hook after all.

    The other five Specialists were revealed today by DICE and they include: Constantin "Angel"...

    Battlefield 2042's Hazard Zone Sounds a Lot Like Ghost Recon Frontline

    Stop me if you've heard this one before.

    DICE and EA showed off the Hazard Zone gameplay mode today for Battlefield 2042. This mode, which will be included with the purchase of the base game, sounds familiar. Like, it sounds really familiar.

    The mode will have you inserting into a point on one of the base Battlefield 2042 maps as a squad of four. Once on the ground, you must locate and retrieve Data Drives that are scattered around the map. All the while you will be fighting...

    The beta for Battlefield 2042 opened up to everyone today regardless of pre-order status. DICE and EA invite all people to try out the upcoming futuristic military FPS ahead of the game's official launch on November 19, 2021. This beta will officially end on October 10 at 7AM (UTC) or 12AM (PT).

    It must be stated again, because apparently this isn't clear to a lot of people playing the beta, that this beta is now several months old. There...

    Expect to encounter some issues that have already been addressed.

    On October 6, the open beta for Battlefield 2042 will begin for those who have pre-ordered the game and also for those with EA Play. Before you dive into the game, it needs to be noted that there are issues with the beta. DICE is aware of them and have already noted a fair number of them in a new posting from PartWelsh on the official EA Answers HQ page.

    I have also included a list of those known issues...

    DICE to Take Hard Stance Against Battlefield 2042 Cheaters

    Cheaters and toxic players beware.

    DICE is already getting their banhammer ready for Battlefield 2042. In a new blog post that went up today, the studio laid out a bunch of new anti-toxic player policies and anti-cheat measures that they hope will result in a positive play environment.

    Part of DICE's commitment to this whole idea includes the ability to report players through an in-game menu. This has started to become more and more typical for multiplayer games like Battlefield...

The progression systems outlined below are what you will encounter as part of next month's beta test.

    Battlefield 2042 PC Requirements

    Time to see if your PC is up to snuff.

    DICE, by way of the official Battlefield Twitter account, just revealed the minimum and recommended PC specs you will need for Battlefield 2042. Now, while they do specify that these are the requirements for the open beta, it's not hard to imagine that these will also be very close or identical to the specs you will need for the final game when it launches on November 19.

    Looking at the specs that they suggest, there are definitely...

    It's coming.

    DICE and EA finally lifted the lid on information concerning the upcoming open beta for Battlefield 2042. It has been a long time coming and it's great to finally get some news about this. I know the fanbase has been getting a little, let's just say antsy, with each day that passed by where we did not hear anything.

    In the latest Battlefield Briefing, the team announced that the Beta for Battlefield 2042 will run from October 6 through October 9. Specifically,...

    Battlefield 2042 is Delayed

    Looks like the rumors were true.

    F's in the chat, boys. It looks like Battlefield 2042 has been delayed. Thankfully, the delay isn't as quite as long as some other titles that have recently been delayed.

    Battlefield 2042 will now be released on November 19, 2021. The original release date was set for October 22, 2021. So, it's about a month delay. It's really not that bad in the grand scheme of things.

    Just a few days back, we learned that Kimble "Irish" Graves was returning to the battlefield in Battlefield 2042. Today, we are given a brief look at Irish in action.

    We know that Irish will assume the role of an Engineer in the game, though his abilities may seem better suited for the Support class. He can put down small fortifications anywhere on the battlefield that will provide protection for himself...
