Sadly, VODs and highlights don't include that part of the experience. However that has all changed now as Twitch has finally added in Chat Replay to all recorded videos. This new feature will be immediately familiar to those that used t... -

6.4 Million People Played The Division Beta
Ubisoft announced that the open beta for The Division marked the "biggest beta ever for a new game brand on current gen platforms. That's a milestone, right? I wonder where it stacks up against all betas on all platforms, though.

"On average, players spent around 5 hours as an activated sleeper agent journeying through The Division's open world. "The Dark Zone p... -

The Importance of Audio in Games
When people talk about games, one of the first things they'll talk about are the visuals. Let's face it, the game's visuals are the big selling point for a lot of games. Graphics are seen more easily than any other aspect of the game when it comes time to promote a product. You can see the visuals in screenshots, animated gifs, and video that is often accompanied by a single song. The next big thing people notice once they actually have the game is how it plays. Where then does the game audio itself... -

HTC Vive Priced at $800, Still a Better Value than Oculus Rift
Ahead of the official price announcement comes the leak that the virtual reality device, the HTC Vive, will run you $799 (USD) when it's released in early April (2016). That puts the price of the device at a cool $200 more than its nearest competition, the Oculus Rift. And cue the outrage! The difference here is that the SteamVR powered HTC Vive comes with two "Lighthouse" base stations that use lasers to more accurately track movement throughout a room.
