    Three Images from Resident Evil Film Reboot

    The gang seems to be (almost) all here.

    Sony released the first look at the characters for the upcoming Resident Evil film reboot. This isn't exactly the first time we have seen glimpses of the film. Back in December 2020, the film wrapped principal photography and we didn't hear much about the movie until now. However, this is the first time we've been given a good look at the characters we've come to know and love and uh, well... here they are.

    343 Industries Offers Reason why Halo Infinite's Campaign Wasn't at Gamescom

    Fans were left disappointed last week.

    This past week was Gamescom, and while a number of titles were shown off there were definitely some notable absences.

Though the game had its release date revealed alongside a new cinematic trailer, there still wasn't any fresh look at the game's campaign.

    In fact, we haven't actually gotten a look at Halo Infinite's...

    Elden Ring will Still be Difficult Even with Summons

    In case there was any doubt about this.

    Hey imagine that, a FromSoftware game that's difficult. Wow, never saw that one coming. It seems as though Elden Ring will continue the idea that FromSoftware only makes challenging game for only the manliest Gamers with the biggest muscles and largest epeens. If you are one of those Gamers who like a challenge and don't want it watered down by playing with a friend, don't you worry one little bit about that! FromSoftware says that the summon...

    New Saints Row Gameplay Video Reveal

    Just in case you thought they were getting too serious with the reboot.

    Volition and Deep Silver recently revealed their reboot for the Saints Row franchise during Gamescom Opening Night Live. The CG only trailer has been met with some rather mixed reactions from fans, as seen by the 23K dislikes to the just 16K likes on the official video. Hell, VGC even wrote an article about how divided fans are and how Volition "won't back down."

    Yes, that Skate.

    EA just announced today that Skate (or is it Skate 4, or maybe skate.?) is also coming to the PC in addition to consoles. The confirmation was made via a short yet pretty clear tweet made earlier today.

    No, Skate has no release date. No, we haven't really seen any gameplay yet. All we know is that it's still in development after having been announced in June 2020. So yeah... Skate is coming to PC at some point. Neat. ...

    Blizzard just announced that they will be changing the in-game name of Jesse McCree in Overwatch and the upcoming Overwatch 2.

  • Poll: Are You a Fan of Paying More to Play Early?
    by Shawn Zipay
    Get that Premium Edition and play three days early!

    Looks like the latest growing trend with game releases is to offer a more expensive Premium or Gold or whatever edition that grants you access to a game a few days ahead of its official release.

    Starfield did it with their $99.99 (USD) Premium Edition. Today, Payday 3 is doing an "Early Access" release with their Silver and Gold editions. Diablo 4 did the same thing earlier in the year, as did Madden NFL 24,...
    I don't mind. If people want to spend more to play early, let them!

    I think it's kind of dumb that people get to play earlier. Spending more shouldn't offer a "head start" on other paying customers.
