    Free Multiplayer Maps Coming for The Last of Us Remastered

    Naughty Dog revealed earlier today that the upcoming multiplayer maps for The Last of Us Remastered will be free to all owners of the game. This is a bit of a difference from even just a few days ago when it was believed that the maps would have a fee associated with them upon release. So, why the change of heart?

    Well, it has a lot to do with the fact that many players are still having problems finding multiplayer matches.

    In an interview with CD Projekt RED's Visual Effect Artist, Jose Teixeira, it was revealed that the console versions of The Witcher 3 probably won't hit that coveted 1080p mark.
    Ideally, we’re pushing for 30 frames per second. The resolution, honestly, it depends; we’re working on it, we’re trying to get it as high as possible. If we can make it at 1080P, sure, but I don’t know if it’s going to make it. To be honest, I really don’t know. Probably not. But for sure, we

    The Behemoth is Working on a New Game with a Giant Bear

    The Behemoth, known most recently for Battleblock Theater, just released a teaser trailer for their fourth game. It includes a giant bear that ruined a lot.

    Shortly before the release of BattleBlock Theater we started working on something new. We schemed up a bunch of concepts and picked our strongest one. From there we fleshed out the lone survivor prototype!!! As it grew stronger and stronger, we polished it, furnished it with delights, and added (gluten free?) sprinkles.

    For a brief period, Xbox.com had the box art and a screenshot up for the completely unannounced Resident Evil: Revelations 2 or Biohazard: Revelations 2. Microsoft has since removed the art and screen but as this is the Internet, people managed to snag them before they were gone for good.



    It was either done in error and there is no game, or we will see a new Resident Evil: Revelations 2 announcement coming soon. Maybe at PAX Prime? Maybe at Tokyo Game Show? ...
