PUBG has had a public test server on the PC platform for a long time now, but only recently has it come to consoles. If you’re not a PC player then you’re probably wondering what it even is, or how it works. These are the details you need to know. Known as the PTS, PUBG has been using a public test server on the PC version of the game to test out new updates and changes the developers are working on before they are implemented in the actual game for everyone to experience....

When id Software and Avalanche Studios made Rage 2, they decided to keep the weapon count low to ensure that each weapon was well made. That has proved controversial for players more accustomed to shooters with a staggering number of guns like the Borderlands series, but there’s no denying the guns handle well and some are ludicrously fun to use. That being said, not every gun is all that enjoyable to use and you’ll find yourself wishing you could handle the more entertaining weapons on a more frequent basis....

Raptor Boyfriend understands where previous dating sims and choose your own adventure games have gone wrong, but that can’t stop it making some missteps of its own. In the game, you play as Stella, a new girl in town who immediately stumbles onto three potential love interests, and must decide which one to pursue. As the name of the game suggests though, these love interests aren’t exactly typical. One of them is a velociraptor named Robert....

Lorbs are a strange collectible in Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart, because rather than being spread over all the different planets, they’re concentrated on one: Savali. This is one of the earlier planets Ratchet will visit, and he will go there alone. However, he is free to return throughout the game, and will have to return at least once later in the story. Savali is also where you pick up Kit, or as she’s known at the time, KT-7461....

Over the past few weeks, Cyborg actor Ray Fisher has publicly criticized Warner Bros. over the studio’s handling of his allegations regarding Joss Whedon’s behavior on the set of Justice League. Now, it appears Fisher’s claims against Whedon started after the actor was offered a cameo role in Ezra Miller’s The Flash film. After a personal family tragedy prompted director Zack Snyder to leave Justice League during post-production, Joss Whedon was brought on board to oversee the project and handle extensive reshoots during the summer before the DC film debuted in theaters....

Red Dead Online, much like its sibling Rockstar Games, Grand Theft Auto Online, is absolutely massive. The scope of these two online multiplayer games means nearly infinite permutations can happen, including massive amounts of game-breaking bugs and a litany of ways for bad players to make things miserable for others just trying to enjoy the game. A small bug that was providing a more pastoral life for some in Red Dead Online looking to avoid that nonsense though has apparently been patched out recently....

The latest update is out for Red Dead Online, bringing the new Naturalist experience and a number of new NPCs to interact with as well as new cosmetics to unlock. However, some of those new characters, and one quest giver in particular, have an interesting way of interacting with the player depending on how they choose to spend their time. Uploaded by Reddit user u/Evanovesky, a video shows exactly what happens when players come across Harriet Davenport in Red Dead Online after going out for a quick hunt....

Fan creators continue to be a backbone of video gaming communities, and often contribute content that supplements the game in a way that other fans love. One Red Dead Redemption 2 fan posted some especially creative images that show off some of the Van Der Linde Gang on cigarette cards, a type of trading card that was popular when RDR2 is set. Red Dead Redemption 2 and its online version are richly detailed games, and many players will spend hours exploring every element and feature....

Rockstar is best known for its Grand Theft Auto and Red Dead Redemption franchises. Both series drop players in a huge open world in a fictionalized America packed with details, Easter eggs, strange encounters, and even references which hint that the games might share a reality. However, Rockstar’s last game, Red Dead Redemption 2, shows some of the reasons why Rockstar may need to embark upon a new IP. Even if a new series is developed that’s still within the same open-world format players have come to expect from the developer, there are some good reasons for Rockstar to leave GTA and Red Dead behind that Red Dead Redemption 2 brings into focus....

Europe’s PEGI system releases a rating for Red Faction for PlayStation 4, indicating that the game is probably on its way to the console as a port or remaster. Many PlayStation 2 classics have been making the leap to the PlayStation 4 recently, and it looks like one more might be joining them. Based on a new rating from PEGI, the original Red Faction might be coming to the PS4 soon....

Burnout in the gaming industry is a serious problem. Major games like Cyberpunk 2077 and The Last of Us Part II have been rocked by accusations of unethical development practices, and journalists like Jason Schreier have built careers on covering the increasing severity of industry workplace abuse. But in this age of grinding employee bones into dust for deadlines, some developers are finding a better way to do things. Nightdive Studios is one such team - and Community Manager Karlee Wetzel plays a huge part in that....

The Pokemon franchise is designed around single-player experiences and PVP multiplayer battles. It’s not built for the group party dynamics of a game like Dungeons & Dragons, but the monsters from Pokemon can still be used as enemies for parties to face. To this end, we have statted out the Pidgey line for use in D&D adventures. Most Pokemon players keep a Flying-type and a Water-type Pokemon in their party, so that they always have easy access to Fly and Surf....

It’s a classic setup. Two guys who could not be more diametrically opposed must share the same odyssey of holiday travel—by any vehicle necessary—no matter how hard one of them tries to get out of it. Yet perhaps what makes Planes, Trains & Automobiles a classic is the surprising amount of warmth and empathy writer-director John Hughes injected into the formula of the 1987 original movie. It’s a delicate balancing act, and one Paramount Pictures looks determined to replicate in a Planes, Trains & Automobiles remake starring Will Smith and Kevin Hart....

The PlayStation 4 Pro (codenamed Neo) is Sony’s upcoming high-powered 4K console upgrade and the official holiday release date and price are now confirmed. Sony’s E3 2016 presentation was a fan-favorite and managed to steal the show even without any of the rumored hardware announcements. A few months later, the PS4 team is finally ready to share the holiday lineup of new hardware and let gamers know how much money to set aside for the new updated consoles…...

The Finnish studio will join a growing collection of developers working under the Sony banner that already includes the likes of Insomniac and Naughty Dog.

A huge element in contemporary gaming is the ability to use online services whether its to catch up with friends, play online, or update a product. However, players who use the PlayStation 4 began reporting issues with its network earlier today. It was unclear why the PlayStation Network was not working for some players, but it seems that Sony has responded to the problem as quickly as possible. Gaming has seen an increase in popularity this year and this is primarily because of safety measures that have encouraged people to stay indoors during the coronavirus pandemic....

This list will show a few interesting questions about certain specific legendaries, and also the different legendaries as a whole.

In the Pokémon world, some typings are generally much more formidable than others. Ice and Bug Pokémon have long been considered among the worst, while Dragon-types are some of the strongest around. This is partly why the Fairy type was introduced in Generation VI: to bring these scaly, toothy menaces down a peg or two. Having said that, not all Dragon-types get much spotlight. The Axew line is sometimes forgotten in favor of the likes of the Dratini, Gible and Bagon lines, not to mention the many legendary Dragons....

Pokémon Home users can now trade online with friends who have the storage system, but act now, as the feature won’t be around for long. Earlier this year, Nintendo launched Pokémon Home on Switch and mobile devices - a place in which players of multiple Pokémon games can store their monsters, and even trade them between different titles on different platforms. Home isn’t a game in and of itself per se, but there are challenges to complete, and it’s easy to lose an entire afternoon to it....
