Check out my cute Pokemon! This is the phrase you’ll need to look for if you want to find and defeat the Fairy-type Team GO Rocket grunt. As part of the Luminous Legends events in mid-2021, the makers of Pokemon GO finally added a Team GO Rocket Grunt that uses Fairy-type Pokemon. We’ve got all the details on which Pokemon she uses, how to counter them, and some tips on finding her....
Pokemon GO trainers are going to have a say in the upcoming Community Days for the first few months of the summer. Much like in February, Niantic is giving players the opportunity to cast their votes and help determine the June and July Community Day spotlight Pokemon in the mobile AR game. The voting will allow players to help narrow down the list of four possible Pokemon to two winners. The Pokemon with the most votes will become the June featured Pokemon, while the runner-up will get the Pokemon GO spotlight in July....
Pokemon Go’s latest update includes at least one mention to a “Raid,” according to data-miners. Raids are, of course, a long-rumored and often teased feature for Pokemon Go that has yet to become a reality. The general prospect of gathering up a large group of people in real life to take on a cooperative challenge is understandably exciting. Exactly what Niantic might be planning is in terms of raid functionality is yet unclear, however....
Pokemon GO players have had excellent luck recently when it comes to building their collections of shiny Pokemon. At the recent Community Day event players were able to catch a shiny Pikachu and it seems that yet another shiny variable is about to become available soon as well. The Pokemon GO community has now discovered evidence that suggests that shiny Chikorita is about to be added to the game. Dataminers have found several files of shiny models for Chikorita and its evolutions, Bayleef and Meganium (there are shiny models for Meganium’s male and female forms)....
Tentacool, the bane of every player Surfing without a Repel, has arrived in Galar with the release of Isle of Armor, Sword and Shield’s new expansion. While Tentacool and its subsequent evolution aren’t exactly fan favorites, they are first Generation Pokémon. Respect your elders, right? And more importantly, you need Tentacool and Tentacruel to finish your Isle of Armor Pokédex, so here’s how to find and evolve Tentacool in Sword and Shield!...
In spite of annual Assassin’s Creed series releases, gamers remain committed to Ubisoft’s open-world tale of assassins and templars battling throughout history. While many rolled their eyes at the prospect of Assassin’s Creed 4: Black Flag, following a somewhat underwhelming response to Assassin’s Creed 3, the pirate adventure reinvigorated the franchise across two generations of hardware - with many players ranking the title among their favorite AC series games to date....
After watching his comrades be hunted and torn down by an alien hunter, the human prey is ready to fight back. To throw off the hunter’s heat vision, the human has stripped off his shirt and smeared mud over his muscled body. He stands in the center of a trap, ready to lure the hunter into one final showdown. “Do it now!” he bellows, taunting the hunter. “Kill me!” For most people, the above description recalls an iconic scene from Predator, the 1987 action horror classic directed by John McTiernan, but the human I’m describing is not Major Dutch Schaefer, the hulking special forces agent played by Arnold Schwarzenegger....
One stand-out announcement during yesterday’s Ubisoft Forward livestream was Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time Remake, which will bring the time-bending 2003 action platformer back onto modern consoles with “thrilling graphical updates.” However, anyone who pre-orders the remake can unlock ways to make the adventure a classic throwback. Pre-ordering Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time Remake will come with a “Back to the Origins Set,” according to Ubisoft’s webpage for the game....
It’s true that almost every single aspect of gaming has improved since the cartridge days. The graphics are better, the games are longer, and the multiplayer goes beyond two or four controllers and split-screen on a CRT TV. One aspect of gaming that is far worse, however, is the loading times, and despite reaching its highest player base ever late last year, Grand Theft Auto Online is one of the worst offenders where loading times are concerned....
Studio Trigger has been killing it in recent years. The animation house has produced critically acclaimed hits such as Little Witch Academia and Brand New Animal while also delving into the upcoming adaptation of Cyberpunk 2077. It’s been banger after banger, but the one project that has truly defined this studio is Promare. Acting as its first feature film, Promare is a wonderfully queer animated adventure that features shirtless firefighters, magical twinks, mech battles, and lots and lots of pizza....
The release of the next-gen consoles is just around the corner, and with plenty of new titles lined up for their releases, many gamers will be excited to usher in the next generation with some boundary-pushing games across the genres. However, the PS5 and the Xbox Series X could be bad news for RPGs like Avowed and The Elder Scrolls 6. There are a few key reasons for this, as well as some big challenges each game will need to overcome to stick the landing during the next-gen....
Although Playerunknown’s Battlegrounds continues to lose out to other battle royale games such as Fortnite and Call of Duty: Black Ops 4’s “Blackout” mode, it is clear that PUBG Corp. is not messing around with how it deals with in-game cheaters - at the competitive level, at least. Four competitive Playerunknown’s Battlegrounds players have been banned for three-years from participating in the National PUBG League (NPL) after having been caught cheating....
PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds’ upcoming map, Codename Savage, is undergoing another round of testing this week, and we’ve laid out some of the changes so far. Codename Savage, for those unfamiliar, is going to be PUBG’s (or Plunkbat’s, if you’re nasty) smallest map. At 4 kilometres square, it is a quarter the size of the game’s previous two offerings. It’s also set in a tropical biome, unlike Miramar’s desert and Erangel’s… Soviet vacation destination?...
TAEGO is coming soon to PUBG, and this new 8x8 km map is bringing more than just a new locale to murder people in. The latest teaser trailer showcases a whole bunch of new stuff, including what might be a self-revive. For the analysis, we turn to the infamous PUBG dataminer PlayerIGN (via PCGamesN), the same guy who leaked the existence of Gulag Island just last week. PlayerIGN broke down the 14-second trailer with several screenshots pointing out all the new features, such as a new vehicle, two new weapons, a new airdrop type, and yes, a new self-pickup....
Known for his work on games like Detroit: Become Human, Beyond Two Souls, and Heavy Rain, Quantic Dream CEO David Cage has always been a peculiar figure. Many have debated whether his games strive too hard to replicate films, with his signature style often focusing on unique cinematic stories that let the player take control of the narrative. The unconventional director recently admitted that he has some less-than-positive opinions about the state of the next generation as well, telling WCCFTech that he thinks Microsoft’s direction with the Xbox Series S could be bad for the industry....
With Red Dead Online’s beta set to launch later this month, it’s no surprise that Red Dead Redemption 2’s online counterpart is having a few leaks. It began with the Adversary mode leak via the companion app and has extended further, including the online element’s playable modes. The current list sits only at Mission, Deathmatch, and Race, with the latter likely to be a well-received featured, as it will likely take advantage of the advanced horse mechanics of Red Dead Redemption 2....
Red Dead Redemption 2 is known for being one of the best-selling and best-reviewed video games of all time. Rockstar Games not only met expectations but exceeded them with another tale in the Red Dead Redemption franchise revolving around the Van Der Linde gang and their journey in a world that is ushering away the era of the true wild west and outlaws. Arthur Morgan is at the center of the game’s story and players grow a connection with him as they see his story twist and turn....
Today is the day, finally, at long last. Today we have the 1.3 update going live, and all of the Genshin Impact fans across the world can enjoy all of the new content, Xiao, and much more. The scheduled maintenance is now over at last, and if you’ve pre-installed the 1.3 update then you’ll be able to start playing right now - and receiving your owed rewards. As usual, Mihoyo has been nice and have donated Primogems to all of us for the time the game spent in scheduled maintenance, and when you log in you’ll find a nice pack of 300 Primogems to get you started with....
In terms of franchise defining games, Persona 3 served as the entry that shot the relatively niche series into the mainstream. Once merely a spin-off of Shin Megami Tensei, the Persona series has since evolved into something much bigger than even the franchise it spawned from. While this is somewhat depressing news for SMT fans (myself included), the Persona series still delivers consistently good games. And, with more new fans on-board than ever, there’s not been a better time to do some re-releases....
[This article contains spoilers for New Game+ content of Persona 5 Royal] Congratulations! After saving the world from Yaldabaoth a second time in a NG+ playthrough and unlocking the third semester, Atlus has seen fit to reward your dedicated efforts in saving the world with an all-new secret boss fight. That’s right. Players can now have their pride personally obliterated by the real Velvet Room attendant, Lavenza. If defeating her when she was two tween-sized amnesiacs wasn’t hard enough for you, Lavenza offers players a second helping of hurt if they decide to challenge her in the Velvet Room during Persona 5 Royal’s third semester....
