When Pokemon Let’s Go Pikachu and Let’s Go Eevee arrive later this year, many Pokemon GO trainers are planning to rush into the Switch game to start exploring the crossover features. The trailer reveals that players can transfer pokemon from PoGO to Let’s Go, but doesn’t get into the details of how that works. Those mechanics are starting to become a little more clear thanks to some developer interviews. During a recent chat with Eurogamer, Pokemon boss Junichi Masuda elaborated a bit on how the transferring feature would work between the mobile and Switch games....

Today, Pokemon Go developer Niantic officially unveiled the upcoming Winter event, which starts December 18th at 1 PM PST with some bonuses lasting all the way through January 2, 2019. Of course, some of the most anticipated features weren’t directly addressed yet, but per the official event image, it certainly seems like fans will be getting their hands on some new gen 4 Pokemon during the Winter event 2018. As part of this event, Ice-types including Jynx, Spheal, Delibird, Sneasel, Swinub, Snorunt, and Snover are set to appear, with the Pokemon GO announcement also promising “certain other Pokemon” being interested in the event....

The Crown Tundra DLC for Pokemon Sword and Shield has finally arrived. The debut was much anticipated for many reasons. More urgently, fans were desperate to know if some of their favorite Pokemon, which had yet to appear, would be included in Gen 8. With the release, many fans were thrilled to find that their favorites had indeed made the cut. But, let’s be honest, some of the Pokemon that were left out aren’t going to be missed....

E3 is here and there is one thing for sure: 2020 looks to be an amazing year. No, not just because of scheduled video games like Cyberpunk 2077, Marvel’s Avengers, or the remake of Final Fantasy VII. Next year will also be the debut of the next PlayStation and Xbox consoles. While Sony hasn’t expressed a codename for its system, Microsoft has gone with Project Scarlett. Although not a lot of notes were provided in regard to this new box during the company’s E3 presentation on Sunday, just enough was revealed to fuel the flames of anticipation....

Ready to stock up on all the excellent games you missed over the past few years?

It runs until May 26, so you’ve got plenty of time to peruse its offerings and figure out which ones you’ll finally get around to playing. And deciding which games to purchase isn’t going to be easy....

Reportedly, some PS5 scalpers think their negative reputation of buying and reselling the consoles at a higher price is unfair and unjustified, comparing the scalping industry to buying and reselling food produce from farmers. Scalping products and consoles, or buying them in bulk reselling them at significantly marked-up costs, became a major issue last year when the PS5 and Xbox Series X/S finally released. Approximately 10-15% of all PS5s have been bought and resold by scalpers at a much higher cost, according to data engineer Michael Driscoll, while some normal consumers are still unable to get their hands on the PS5 for Sony’s retail price....

Quentin Tarantino films have a dedicated fanbase continuously examining the prolific director’s output for the most minute details. One area that gets a lot of attention are the origins and fates of his strange cast of characters. Just this week, Tarantino told the tale of one of his most notorious oddities. Pulp Fiction is a classic piece of cinema with numerous iconic moments. One moment that continues in the discussion of the film is the section where the boxer Butch Coolidge is trapped alongside Marsellus Wallace inside the pawnshop basement....

This Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart article contains spoilers. Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart reaches its epic conclusion when the iconic duo is transported back to their own version of Megalopolis. But it looks extremely different to how they left it. The joint forces of Dr. and Emperor Nefarious have led the city to swiftly descend into chaos as it suffers from various dimensional portal openings that are unsustainable, putting the whole multiverse at risk of collapsing....

Razer, the company best known for its PC gaming accessories, has begun manufacturing face masks to help combat the coronavirus pandemic currently plaguing the world. It’s a noble move on the part of the company, especially as shortages of personal protective equipment (PPE) increasingly becomes an issue around the world. Min-Liang Tan, CEO of Razer, posted a long update on Twitter, delving into the company’s decision. In the statement, Tan says, “We intended to donate up to 1M masks to the health authorities in different countries globally....

Ever since its release in 2018, Red Dead Redemption 2 quickly became a worldwide hit, winning numerous awards getting mostly positive reviews from players and critics. Now, players on the PlayStation 4 who still haven’t played Red Dead Redemption 2 would be happy to know that the game is currently on sale right now as part of the PlayStation Store’s Deal of the Week. For the duration of the week, Red Dead Redemption 2’s standard edition will be available at the PlayStation Store for $29....

Red Dead Redemption 2 is already looking to be one of the biggest releases of October alone, let alone 2018. Aside from being a hotly demanded and highly anticipated title, the sequel/prequel to Rockstar Games’ last Western action/adventure will feature a frankly ginormous open-world for players to explore - one large enough to fit the entire map from the first game. And that’s a fact Rockstar have officially proven. There have already been a few leaks that suggested that the first game’s open-world would appear in Red Dead Redemption 2....

Being nearly seven months removed from the launch of the successful Wild West adventure of Rockstar Game’s Red Dead Redemption 2, those outside of the traditional home console space have voiced their desire for the game to come to PC. While fans have gone to great lengths, such as having petition signings for a PC port of Red Dead Redemption 2, Rockstar Games and publisher Take-Two Interactive haven’t said a word on when, or if, the game will release on other platforms....

Although Rockstar Games’ Red Dead Redemption 2 is relatively polished compared to its considerable scale, the game is by no means without its share of bugs and glitches. One such bug was discovered by a player upon exiting the bathtub while playing as Arthur Morgan. One of Red Dead Redemption 2’s more mundane gameplay offerings is the ability to bathe. Players can do this by stopping at a hotel throughout each of the game’s major locations and paying a fee to take an old-fashioned bath in a tin bathtub....

Social media is bad and scary, young women are frequently horrible to each other and everyone spends too much time on their phones is actually NOT the main take away from the first three episodes of this sort-of-YA sort-of-horror series new to BBC Three. It’s actually a lot more nuanced than that in a series that initially plays like a mash up of 2010s horror, 1990s teen drama and Derry Girls’ potty-mouth rough-and-ready sense of humour....

A Redditor has discovered a feature on Playstation 4 that lets players reveal hidden trophies. Despite the feature being available for the past 3 years, many gamers had no idea the option existed. The post, which now boasts almost 30,000 upvotes and a couple thousand comments, have become a hub for little known facts about the 5 year old console. It seems that the best selling console of this generation still have more than a few secrets to be discovered....

The supernatural utterly suffuses the Persona franchise, so it is fitting that the Magician arcana, first of the original twenty-one numbered major arcana, would feature entities with some particularly fascinating folklore. Attempting to read tarot cards at face value is a perilous enterprise however, particularly where the Magician is concerned. One might be tempted to conclude that the Magician arcana in Persona is all about inexplicable phenomena, abstract realms, or perhaps even wisdom—the word “magi” historically signifies a wise man or learned scholar, after all....

Persona 5 Scramble: The Phantom Strikers, the long-awaited and heavily-anticipated sequel to Atlus’ JRPG hit Persona 5 (2017) may have been officially confirmed for a localization according to Koei Tecmo’s most recent fiscal report. Koei Tecmo, known for their work on the hack-and-slash Dynasty Warriors series, teamed up with Atlus to create the Persona 5 sequel, which allows players to fight in real-time as opposed to the original game’s turn-based combat....

One veteran developer thinks that physical video games are coming to end, according to a recent GamesIndustry.biz article. That developer is one David Braben, founder and CEO of Frontier Developments. Frontier is most known for the wildly successful Elite Dangerous, a game that’s mostly succeeded on digital platforms. This stance would make sense coming from Braben on those merits alone, but there’s more to his statements than his own personal experience....

Sony’s The Future of Gaming Stream last week was applauded for showing off countless games running on the PlayStation 5. There was plenty for fans to see including several PlayStation exclusives which are “more important than ever” according to one of the system’s developers. While not all the games presented were exclusives, Sony made sure to emphasize those that were including Horizon 2: Forbidden West and Spider-Man: Miles Morales. But several other games shown will either go to PC as well or be completely multi-platform....
