Leaked Pokémon GO update files suggest that Shadow Pokémon will soon be arriving on the app, and they’ll need to be purified. On the surface, we often wonder how free-to-play games are effectively the biggest and most profitable titles in gaming right now. The likes of Fortnite and Pokémon GO are leaders of the genre, and understand how to pull in the profits. The key is obviously to keep people interested....
RNG, or the phenomenon of randomosity, has been the bane of many a gamer, and Pokémon GO is no exception; a dedicated player did the math and found that to hatch a Riolu, players will need to either play an average of 192 days or cough up some serious cash. The reason for this is random chance. To gain new Pokémon, players can either catch them in the wild or find eggs, throw them in an incubator and walk....
Which each new generation in the Pokémon series, two particular types of critter come along that fans are most eager to see: new starter Pokémon and new Legendary Pokémon. Grookey, Scorbunny and Sobble have been a bit of a mixed bag, as have Generation VIII’s cover Legendaries: Zacian and Zamazenta. The respective mascots of Pokémon Sword and Pokémon Shield are quite similar in design and concept, but have very different strengths and weaknesses....
Game Freak has abandoned the idea of third versions and direct sequels for the mainline Pokémon games. Instead, the future Pokémon games will receive DLC expansions that add new content to the base game. Pokémon Sword & Shield are the first games to receive this treatment, in the form of the Expansion Pass that adds the Isle of Armor and will add The Crown Tundra later this year. It’s no secret that fans have had issues with the Isle of Armor, with many people feeling that it’s not worth the price of admission....
Eevee and its many evolutions are some of the most loved Pokemon in the entire franchise. They resemble animals people love like cats, dogs, and foxes. Each one is a different type, which means that many balanced-type team builds have room for an Eeveelution. These Pokemon were not always easy to get in the various game generations. Luckily though, Pokemon Sword and Shield made it so getting an Eevee and its various evolutions is not only possible but pretty easy in comparison to previous titles....
In Pokemon Sword & Shield and its two-part DLC, several unique dual-type combinations were finally introduced to the series, most notably Ice/Bug, Dark/Fairy, and Poison/Psychic. However there are still currently 19 unused type combinations, including Fire/Ice and Dragon/Fairy (which can only occur in battle through rare Hidden Abilities or obsolete items). If these 19 dual-types are ever brought to the series, what defensive advantages, disadvantages, strengths, weaknesses, and overall versatility would they provide for players’ teams?...
Electric-Type Pokémon are very powerful and their moves are no exception. Although most Electric moves are quite strong, there are some that are just ridiculously powerful. Everyone knows at least a few of these moves because of Pokémon’s electrifying mascot, Pikachu. This list will give fans of the series a look at some of the strongest Electric-Type moves in the Pokémon world and help show fans how strong electricity can really be....
Pokemon GO’s Searching for Legends event is now officially underway, and it features a variety of spawn increases and the arrival of some brand new Shiny Pokemon. There is also a Today’s View Research associated with the Searching for Legends event, and it is comprised of numerous tasks and rewards. For those Pokemon GO players that would like a comprehensive rundown of these tasks and rewards, that is exactly what can be found in this guide....
Like most online games that support a massive audience and host frequent events and content rotations, Pokemon GO obviously has a system for rolling out new patches and updates without causing much interruption to game play at all. Usually patches can be downloaded from the app store when they are ready and no downtime is experienced by players at all. It sounds like an upcoming change in early June is going to require a bit more of a disturbance than usual though…...
Not too long ago, original property holder Haim Saban sold the rights of the Power Rangers franchise to the toy company Hasbro, leading many to wonder what the future holds for the pop culture brand. While no new, major projects have been announced just yet, one fan’s dedication to the live-action superhero television and movie series has led them to create a brief Unreal Engine 4 demo depicting what a current-gen game based on the franchise could look like....
This Power Rangers Super Ninja Steel review contains spoilers. Power Rangers Super Ninja Steel Episode 1 Power Rangers 25th anniversary is off to a bad start. The planned live show was cancelled, the redesigned Ranger Nation website (meant for hardcore fans of the show) was filled with laughably inaccurate information, and the first supposed “big reveal” of the year was nothing more than some action figures fans had known about for months....
Field Lockers in Predator: Hunting Grounds offer players one way to unlock great looking cosmetics for the Fireteam and Predator weapons, armor, and accessories. The other method is to spend Veritanium Fragments to buy an item outright without the gamble of a loot table. After some testing, it is apparent that players can get infinite Field Lockers. We discovered that there is a point where players will obtain enough items that they will begin unboxing duplicate items....
If you’re one of those gamers who likes a dash of horror in their FPS games, you’ve more than likely played Prey. And unless you’ve been living under a rock for the past ten years, you’ve definitely heard of Bioshock. Both games are technically part of the FPS genre, but they’ve added elements of horror and the supernatural to the mix, making them stand out from traditional examples of shooters. But while both games do amazing things with FPS and horror, only one can emerge victorious as being the most immersive in its efforts....
Typically, Sony reveals the upcoming month’s PS Plus games on the last Wednesday of every month, barring holiday season. So, it was odd that Wednesday came and went, and there was no PS Plus reveal for March. Some thought it would take place at the State of Play on Thursday (February 25), but it did not show there either. Nonetheless, it seems like the wait may have just been worth it....
Nostalgic gamers love to talk about ‘back in their day’ and, when those conversations start, it’s never long before arcade controls are being fondly recalled. The arcade scene was especially popular for fighting-sim enthusiasts and many purest fighting fans still prefer to duke it out with a fight stick over a console control whenever possible. A few years back, PS3 owners were even lucky enough to have the chance to pick up a PlayStation fight stick to use with Injustice and the 2011 version of Mortal Kombat....
The year of 2013 saw more than a handful of analysts claim that the mobile market was becoming the new way forward and that console gaming was as dead in the water as a sick, blubbering fish. But 2014 is proving that this is untrue and that the console gaming sector is not only alive and kicking, but it is also something to write to the press about. The new lease on life given to consoles is beefed up by the release of the next generation consoles, the PS4 and the Xbox One, and as the former takes on another gaming territory, its home country of Japan, no one knows his quite as well as Sony....
One of the ways Red Dead Redemption 2 players can make money in the single player Story mode is by selling horses. Well, selling horses is something that Red Dead Redemption 2 players can do in Red Dead Online as well, and even though they won’t get nearly the same amount of cash for doing so, it’s still a decent way to get some extra spending money in the game....
The beta for Red Dead Redemption 2’s online mode – fittingly titled, Red Dead Online – launches today for those that purchased the Ultimate Edition of the game. For those that cannot yet access the online features, hopefully some leaked news regarding its game modes will suffice. According to Twitter user illogicalmods, Red Dead Online will feature – you guessed it – a battle royale mode, pitting players against one another until only one is left standing on a map with a perimeter that shrinks over time....
Teen horror Red Rose arrived on BBC Three this week to ruin the sacred relationship between a youth and their phone. As if the internet wasn’t scary enough already, in Red Rose a sinister app appears to drive teenagers to commit suicide. Is it supernatural? Who’s behind it? Why? And who will it strike next? This Bolton-set chiller is refreshingly funny at the same time as being super dark. Created by Michael and Paul Clarkson who have horror pedigree as producers on The Haunting of Bly Manor, the show features a strong ensemble cast of scrappy Northerners who call their collective group ‘the dickheads’....
Several LinkedIn profiles have revealed that Id Software is assisting Arkane Studios with development on Redfall, which has apparently been in the works for at least four years. The LinkedIn discoveries come courtesy of Twitter user Timur222, who has found information through employee LinkedIn pages several times in the past, including finding out that MachineGames’ Indiana Jones game had started production. Considering these posts are made by the developers themselves, you can take most of the information as gospel....
