  • Outcast: Second Contact - First Gameplay Video

    Outcast: Second Contact - First Gameplay Video

    Bigben and Appeal have released the first in what seems to be a series of gameplay videos for Outcast: Second Contact. Outcast: Second Contact is a remake of the 1999 game, Outcast, which is apparently the "first 3D open world" game to exist. I don't know enough to argue this remark, so I'll just have to take them on their word for now.
    In Outcast: Second Contact, the action takes place on Adelpha, a vast open world to explore and the cradle of an ancient alien civilization, the Talans.

    PewDiePie is Still a Racist - Casually Drops Racist Slur During Stream

    In today's bit of totally shocking news, Felix "PewDiePie" Kjellberg yet again outed himself as being a racist. Say what? PewDiePie certainly doesn't have a history of uttering racist or anti-Semitic remarks in the public eye. And it's not like he's ever been penalized for paying people to say things on his behalf such as "Death to all Jews." Right? RIGHT?! In all seriousness though, PewDiePie said a racial slur during a recent stream. It was casually dropped as though it wasn't even...

    New South Park Game Reportedly Ties Difficulty with Skin Color

    According to some new gameplay captured of the upcoming South Park: The Fractured But Whole title, the difficulty slider for the game is actually tied to your character's skin color.

    That is to say, the "easy" difficulty will have your character be white while the "very difficult" end will find your character being black. This also alters how much money your character will make throughout the game and how NPCs respond to your character.

    by Shawn Zipay
    It's AAAA vs WB.

    March isn't even over yet and we've already seen a couple of stinkers come out from major gaming studios. While we tend to focus on the surprise hits or quality titles in these polls, this time it's a little bit different.

    Between the Rocksteady developed live-service Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League and the "AAAA" quality Ubisoft developed Skull and Bones: Which is the bigger disappointment for you?
