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

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...

    What your favorite video games say about your age

    Video games have now been popular for over 40 years, ever since Pong and Space Invaders first wowed arcade goers. This means that there are now gamers of all ages being wowed by pixels of various iterations and configurations. The average age of gamers in the US, according to a study in 2014, was 31. It's a surprising statistic for those who still see video games as a pastime for children and teenagers.

    If you like your gameplay reveals to be long, full of kissing, and even more full of some really graphic violence, you are in for a treat. The first gameplay reveal trailer for The Last of Us Part 2 hits all of those marks and more. Naughty Dog isn't pulling any punches here, that's for damn sure.

    Before that, here's a little bit about the game from Naughty Dog's Neil Druckmann via the PlayStation Blog. As of right now, there is no release date for the game.

    Yakuza Kiwami 2 E3 2018 Trailer

    As part of Sony's bizarre/annoying E3 coverage/conference/week-long event they apparently showcased a new trailer for Yakuza Kiwami 2. It's not terribly long but it is new and Yakuza is a fun franchise, so I'm posting it.
    One of the most beloved storylines in the Yakuza franchise's history has returned in full HD in the Dragon Engine for PlayStation®4. Yakuza Kiwami 2 features the return of mini games like Cabaret, a revamped clan creator and the original arcade release of Virtual-On™,

    Yakuza 0 and Yakuza Kiwami Coming to PC

    Speaking of the Yakuza developers, it was announced this week that both Yakuza 0 and Yakuza Kiwami are coming to the PC. This announcement sure came out of nowhere, that's for sure.

    First up looks to be Yakuza 0, which you can pre-purchase right now on Steam for $17.99 (USD) with a 10% discount. This one will be released on August 1, 2018. As you may recall, I kind of really loved Yakuza 0. I'm sure I'll love it even more with an uncapped framerate and the option to go up...

    Check Out About 13 Minutes of Resident Evil 2 Remake Gameplay

    PlayStation offers up a 13 minute long video that showcases a generous helping of gameplay from the Resident Evil 2 remake. Which, btw, seems to just be called Resident Evil 2 and not Resident Evil 2 Remake as we kind of figured it would be.

    It's looking good. It's looking real good.

    Be sure to check out the two new cinematic trailers and a bunch of new screenshots we already posted courtesy of E3 2018.

    Sony Blocks Fortnite Cross-Play Between PS4 and Switch Players

    Sony continues to baffle and anger fans with their archaic multiplayer stances. The latest is that players on the newly released Nintendo Switch version of Fortnite will not be allowed to play with those on the PlayStation 4 version. Switch owners can, however, play with Xbox One, PC, Mac, and mobile players. Even worse is the fact that players are now finding out that they cannot link their Epic accounts to the Switch version of the game if it's already been tied to their PSN account...

  • Valve Overhauls the Steam Chat System

    Valve Overhauls the Steam Chat System

    For the first time in years, Valve has provided a drastic overhaul to the Friends and Chat system within Steam. It has an all-new look with some new functionality such as embedding things like images, Giphy links, Twitter, Twitch, and even YouTube. You can even use something like /giphy to insert a random Giphy image, because that seems safe?

    It's got improvements to group chats, improvements to voice chat, it has a two week long chat history you can keep, it has a new "persona" invisible mode, a new way to rename friends, a new way to trade, a new way to add friends, and more!

    You can try this new functionality out in two different ways. You can either opt into the current Steam client beta by going to Steam > Settings > Account and opting into the currently available beta OR you can try it out via your web browser....

    Destiny 2: Forsaken to Introduce Gambit Multiplayer Activity

    A new multiplayer "activity" for Destiny 2 coming with the Forsaken expansion is said to deliver an experience with an "upwards trajectory of fun." This is of course if you believe the remarks made by design lead Lars Bakken. He's talking about the new Gambit multiplayer activity which was revealed earlier today.
    Boiled down, Gambit is a competitive, team-based speed run, hooked around four core steps: fight, collect, bank, invade (all four of which can be happening simultaneously).
