Princess Connect Re: Dive, full of adorable characters and silly moments, is a great game. However, if one is not familiar with gacha games and their mechanics or how CyGames products tend to work in general, they might find themselves overwhelmed. The North American version of the game has only been out for a few weeks. As such, what’s to come in-game is still truly up in the air. For now, here are some of the best tips to keep in mind for what you should do as a new Princess Connect player....

While we continue to wait for more PlayStation 4 reveals from Sony (hopefully already teased for a February 20 announcement) the speculation over the company’s new take on the DualShock is getting more and more interesting. There’s still no official announcement, but the first image of what appears to be the new PS4 controller, complete with embedded touchscreen has appeared online. The reveal isn’t a complete shock, since rumors of a touchscreen-equipped controller have been circling for some time, even claiming that the age of the DualShock was coming to a close....

The world has known what the Xbox Series X looks like for months now following Microsoft’s official unveiling during The Game Awards in December last year. Since then, Microsoft has continued to pump out information about the upcoming next-generation console from the controller design to the Xbox Series X specifications, and an impressive demonstration of its new Quick Resume feature which will allow players to have up to four games running concurrently....

With Sony’s PlayStation 4 generation slowing winding down, fans are beginning to get excited for the company’s next hardware release, likely to be called PlayStation 5. While the new console, which is still more than a year away, will continue to push the technical envelope with improved specs and features, Sony’s CEO has come forward to say the system isn’t being designed for a majority audience. During one of Sony’s recent strategy briefings, CEO Kenichiro Yoshida stated while the PlayStation 5 marks the beginning of a new chapter for the company’s gaming division, he sees the new console as something geared towards more serious players....

Following a series of teasers posted on social media and one epic leak by Walmart Canada, Bethesda finally announced Rage 2 this week. The company also unveiled an explosive gameplay trailer and confirmed that the open-world, first-person shooter will focus on a character called Walker as he faces off against The Authority. As Rage 2 is an open-world title, it’s understandable that many have wondered if the game will feature loot boxes, a business model seen in many other open-world games such as Middle-earth: Shadow of War....

First of all, no, information on Persona 6 has not leaked. The expanded edition for Persona 5 hasn’t even come out yet. Based on the last game’s timetable, fans probably won’t even get a sniff of Persona 6 until after the new consoles launch. For example, Persona 4 launched in 2008 on PS2 and was then ported to PS Vita in 2012. A year later Persona 5 was announced, which was delayed numerous times before eventually arriving in 2017....

Since its initial launch this November, the Xbox Series X/S has seen its fair share of commercial success. With console inventory fluctuating as retailers struggle to keep up with demand for the consoles, the launch of the Xbox Series X/S has been a success. In fact, it seems that the head of Xbox can’t stop playing on the consoles, even during work. Phil Spencer has played an integral role in the development, production, and advertising of the Xbox Series X/S....

PlayStation appears to have started working its way through Cyberpunk refunds as multiple players reveal that they have been given their money back. It’s hard to say at this point whether CD Projekt envisioned what would happen if it bit the bullet and released Cyberpunk 2077 before the game was 100% ready. While it would have expected some backlash, it couldn’t have foreseen what has happened since. Its removal from the PS Store will have been a bitter blow, although the developer claims that was a decision it took upon itself....

The villains of the Pokémon universe don’t tend to do things by halves. Or subtly. Ever since the devious Team Rocket skulked their way into our lives in Pokémon Red & Blue, there’s been an Evil Team™ on hand to cause chaos in every Pokémon generation to date. If you count Team Yell as an ‘Evil Team,’ that is, which is a bit of a stretch for the Marnie Fan Club....

For the old school fans, Blue is remembered as the snarky antagonist that lit a fire under the trainer from the beginning of Pokemon Red & Blue. Constantly berating and putting down the trainer every chance he got, despite being defeated at ever encounter. It was only at the three-quarter mark that Blue started to break down as a character. Though his character starts to warp, Blue’s Pokémon team stays very loyal throughout the entire game....

Whilst dragon-types Pokémon look cool, they all serve different purposes. Which makes it pretty difficult picking the perfect companion. So why not use your MBTI to find the ideal Pokémon to be at your side. There are 72 dragon-type Pokémon to choose from in all the generations of fantastic Pokémon games. This makes it almost impossible to find the one you love as well as the one that suits your playstyle....

Pokémon Cafe Mix is the newest free-to-play game from the Pokémon Company. Here you play the brand new owner of a cafe whose customers are exclusively Pokémon. You’ll begin only with an Eevee as your shop assistant, but as the business grows, so does the demand for more help. Bringing lots of team members on board is important because each one brings a different skill that lets you tackle puzzles easier....

Niantic has continued to make Pokémon GO as playable as possible during the pandemic as it begins testing daily spawns and free item boxes. The COVID-19 outbreak could have been detrimental to Pokémon GO. As more and more governments enforced lockdowns around the world, many of the app’s players might have forgotten all about their quest to catch ’em all. However, those who kept the faith and remained locked in, despite being locked down, have been rewarded by Niantic over and over again....

The Isle of Armor expansion area for Pokémon Sword & Shield add a bunch of new critters. It does this via another Wild Area with a variety of biomes. If you’ve played Sword & Shield for a good deal of time, you know the drill - look for Pokémon near their natural habitat. However, Isle of Armor tucks Larvesta away in a place that won’t even show up on the Pokédex tracker....

Generation VIII of the Pokémon series has proven to be hugely successful, as was inevitable (it’s a new mainline Pokémon title, after all). This isn’t to say that fans didn’t have their gripes (the title’s hardly pushing the system from a technical standpoint and the National Pokédex fracas is still ringing in our ears), but by and large, Pokémon Sword & Shield has been a huge hit. Now, though, it’s time for the Galar region to expand further....

Professor Oak is one of the most beloved and well-known characters in the Pokémon universe. For those who grew up playing the Pokémon games in their youth, Professor Oak is among the longest-standing authority figures in their lives. He gave us our first Pokémon, explained the Pokedex, let us name his own grandson, and sent us on our way for the adventure of a lifetime. But he was not a silent advisor....

Pokemon Go was created with the aim to get people out more. The premise encourages walking and visiting new places, with rewards handed to players for doing so. However, in recent times, getting out hasn’t always been possible for most people. The safest thing to do is sit at home, which isn’t conducive to the whole point of Pokemon Go. How are you supposed to be safe and level up yourself and your Pokemon, to become the best trainer you can be?...

Latios and Latias flew away from Tier 5 Pokemon GO battle raids yesterday and today Niantic is already preparing to introduce the next Legendary raid encounter. Whether players are ready or not, Kyogre is returning to Pokemon GO battle raids starting today. Rumors and theories about which Legendary would appear next have been circulating for weeks and it sounds like those on the Kyogre side of the bets have won. As part of Pokemon GO Water Festival 2018, Kyogre will reappear during the special event....
