Earlier this month, Pokemon GO revealed Exclusive Raid Battles. A brand new feature for the hit mobile game, the invite-only raids had the power to totally shake up the game and the way that its millions of fans play it. Although Niantic did host Exclusive Raids for Mewtwo, it now seems that the Pokemon GO developer wants a little more time to work on the feature before it is released worldwide....
Recent growth in the mobile video game industry has made a lot of IP holders interested in joining the market. Tencent Games Studios, one of the pioneers of this trend, is looking to expand its subsidiary TiMi Studios’ reach and hire more people. TiMi has recently announced that it is looking to hire for positions on a new open-world video game using Unreal Engine 5. TiMi Studios is known for developing games such as Call of Duty: Mobile, Honor of Kings, and the upcoming Pokemon Unite game....
This past weekend, 12 victims stepped forward to accuse four prominent members of the Pokemon YouTube community of being sexual predators. Nathan Putnam, also known as Dekadurr, who makes graphics for Pokemon YouTubers and has appeared at live events with community members, has been accused by four women of being a sexual predator. One accuser, a 19 year old woman going by the name Sylveon (named after Eevee’s fairy-type evolved form), has created a YouTube video called “Finally coming forward…” where she explains the situation in detail....
The RPG adventure Indivisible is finally available for the Nintendo Switch — but fans of the Lab Zero series probably shouldn’t buy it. The title is now available on the platform’s eShop, but based on the tweets of Lab Zero project lead Mike Zaimont, the Switch port “does not reflect the quality of standards of Lab Zero.” Indivisible is an action-RPG adventure released by the same indie studio responsible for highly-acclaimed fighting game Skullgirls....
[UPDATE: The PSN service status stage confirms that Gaming and Social are back to normal.] PSN Services related to gaming and social are down for all PS4 servers late Wednesday night/early Thursday morning. As of this writing, Sony has yet to give an official update on when services might return, but it is certainly causing a small headache for gamers. Reports on social media started appearing around 8:30pm PT saying that access to both games and party options are not working....

The COVID-19, or coronavirus, pandemic shows no signs of stopping at this time, so many event organizers are choosing to play it safe and either postpone or outright cancel their events set for this year. The annual QuakeCon has also been cancelled for this year - which was especially significant, since it would have been the event’s 25th anniversary. The organizers, id Software and Bethesda Softworks, announced the news over Twitter, saying that even though the worst may be over by August - the event’s planned date - it will still be impossible to coordinate everything necessary for it in time....
On Tuesday, Microsoft announced that the Xbox One would ship without the Kinect for $399 in an attempt to combat the massive sales figures of the PS4. Although the move could certainly help boost Xbox One sales by dropping the asking price by $100, it has also raised questions about what Rare is going to work on next. Rare, the UK-based developer bought out by Microsoft back in 2002, has seemingly made Kinect-based games its focus since the launch of the device on the Xbox 360....
One of the most popular gaming mice in the world is the DeathAdder from Razer. The DeathAdder gaming mouse is a staple of many popular Twitch streamers and professional gamers, and now it’s available in mini form. The DeathAdder V2 Mini takes the quality and general design of the standard DeathAdder V2 mouse and shrinks it down without sacrificing any of the quality that fans have come to expect from the Razer brand....
This article contains Ready or Not spoilers.We have a spoiler free review here. In-laws are the worst, right? It certainly will be one of several takeaways Grace (Samara Weaving) carries from her brief marriage into the Le Domas brood. While the actual contract between her and Alex Le Domas (Mark O’Brien) turned out to be a short one, it had memories that’ll last a lifetime. Just think how nice it’ll be to reflect on that time he revealed to her that his family practices ritualistic sacrifice to the Dark One, although they call him “Mr....
Sega announced today that Sonic Generations is the most pre-ordered Sonic game in their 20-year catalog history. The good news is lucky, considering lately they have been spreading their brand faster than their iconic blue hedgehog. The company has had a rough history, having to leave the console wars in 2001 to focus on creating games for other systems, including their biggest rival, Nintendo. Since then there has been a steady stream of mediocre Sonic the Hedgehog games, aimed at modernizing the character, predominantly reinventing him into something absolutely atrocious....
Rockstar may have major plans in store for Halloween in Red Dead Online if a purported leak is to be believed. A datamine of a recent Red Dead Redemption 2 update is said to have included details about Red Dead Online’s October Outlaw Pass, revealing a Halloween theme as well as new spooky loot and events. “Celebrate the Season of the Strange and Supernatural” reads a logo adorning one of the images....
There are many great weapons worth finding in Rockstar’s latest open-world western, Red Dead Redemption 2. While there are many unique weapons in the game that are easter eggs from other Rockstar games, such as Grand Theft Auto and Bully, there are also other notable weapons worth finding. One of these is the Ancient Tomahawk, and here is how to find it. To get the Ancient Tomahawk in Red Dead Redemption 2, the first thing you need to do is reach the area near Calumet Ravine marked on the map below....
With Red Dead Redemption 2, Rockstar Games has crafted a sprawling open world with a ton of acreage to explore. But oftentimes exploring the world of Red Dead is an investment, with players traveling far and wide to get to objectives or to find items. Luckily, Red Dead Redemption 2 has a few options for players that want to travel between locations quickly. Two of those options, trains and stage coaches are marked directly on the Red Dead map and require a little cash to activate....
Hitting shelves late last years to a spate of negative reviews, Remothered: Broken Porcelain was a widely panned follow-up to 2017’s Remothered: Tormented Fathers. Coming loaded with a significant number of bugs and glitches, the title was a disappointing second venture for developer Stormind Games, however, it seems the studio is ready to pick itself up and try something new. In a press release, the studio announced it will be working on a next-generation game, with the title slated to be a new IP presumably not connected to the Remothered series....
The characters of each title in the Persona series are arguably some of the strongest aspects of each game. It’s typically pretty easy to identify and become invested in at least one party member of each game that ends up being a staple to who you choose to bring with you into each dungeon. Unfortunately, in the rosters filled with such strong personalities, some characters are often overshadowed by others that are championed in the fandom....
Persona 5, and the Persona franchise as a whole, features an ocean of deep, symbolic lore. Each of the different personas the main character and his allies can summon are based on figures of fiction and folklore. While Persona games routinely take liberties with these entities’ appearances, it faithfully ascribes their natures to the major Arcana of tarot cards, who represent the different confidants a player can form relationships with over the course of the game....
Atlus has announced that following the game’s western release, Persona 5 has shipped over 1.5 million units worldwide. The game launched in North America and Europe this week, but it’s been available in Japan since September 2016. According to figures from VGChartz, Persona 4 and its Golden re-release have amassed just short of 2 million copies sold over the course of almost nine years. As a result, Persona 5 is well poised to be the bestselling title in the longrunning RPG series if its momentum can hold over the coming weeks and months....
The sixth major arcana in the tarot deck is always a member of the Persona series’ primary cast: the Lovers. One may take a cursory look at the Lovers card and assume it’s all about romance, love, and lust. And while all of those things factor in, the major arcana’s purview is considerably broader than that, including relationships, consensus, and, above all, decision-making about matters close to the heart. Ann is Persona 5’s representative of the Lovers and often acts as the team’s cheerleader, welcoming new members and lifting people’s spirits when things look bleak....
Xbox One owners with an active EA Access subscription can now download Star Wars Battlefront and play a ten hour preview of everything it has to offer. Anyone who’s looking forward to the release of The Force Awakens next month will likely be similarly excited about the prospect of Star Wars Battlefront.
