EA has announced that FIFA 14 will be removed from the EA Access Vault on October 18. The publisher had recently announced its intentions to close the servers for the game on October 18, and now it seems that, along with the server shut down, the game is also heading toward digital obsolescence. Sorry, I meant ‘the sunset’. In a statement on its website, EA said, ‘Members can continue to download and enjoy FIFA 14 until then, and those who keep the game on their console hard drive will be able to play it offline after that date’....

It was recently revealed that the 4th DLC character in the Fighters Pass for Super Smash Bros. Ultimate will come from a game made by SNK. This character will be the fifth DLC character in the game, following Piranha Plant from the Super Mario Bros. series, Joker from Persona 5, Hero from the Dragon Quest series, and Banjo-Kazooie. SNK has released a lot of video games over the years, and their most prominent characters have appeared in crossover titles in the past, so it wouldn’t be too out of place for a character from The King of Fighters or Samurai Shodown series to appear in Super Smash Bros....

The Uncharted movie is set to start filming “soon,” after more than a decade in development hell (via Eurogamer). In March, Sony announced that filming had to halt owing to the pandemic, even though everything else was in place, at long last. The project has seen six directors come and go, and landed Zombieland and Venom director Ruben Fleischer. Tom Holland, Mark Wahlberg, Antonio Banderas, Tati Gabrielle, and Sophia Ali comprise the cast, with Holland in the role of Nathan Drake and Walhberg in the role of Sully....

Final Fantasy 7 Remake is making some changes, but it will be a mostly faithful adaptation of the original, critically-acclaimed JRPG. Many of Final Fantasy 7’s iconic scenes will be returning in the new game, including the famous cross-dressing scene from the original, where Cloud poses as a woman to spend the night with Don Corneo. The latest Final Fantasy 7 Remake trailer revealed how this scene will look with the new game’s graphics, and now fans have put together an image comparing the new visuals to the original....

Long-running franchises generally tend to have that one special title that encompasses everything people love about the series while simultaneously breathing fresh air into the series as we know it. In the case of the Final Fantasy series, one can argue that pretty much every game in the series — barring some obvious exceptions — has constantly strived to innovate upon existing mechanics and formulate new ones, all while keeping that distinct Final Fantasy charm....

Five of the Best is a weekly series we recently resurrected for supporters because we wanted to do something nice for them. It’s a series about highlighting incidental features in games. It’s also a series about having your say, so don’t be shy, use those comments below!

When playing Five Nights at Freddy’s (FNAF) Security Breach, you will come across the need to decommission Monty. Also known as Montgomery Gator, he is one of the main villains in the game.

Installing the Football Manager 2023 Real Name fix is a way for managers on Football Manager 2023 (FM23) to have a more immersive and enjoyable experience playing the game. Despite containing many real names for players, teams, and competitions, licensing issues means that FM23 has a number of clubs, competitions, leagues, and awards with fake names. The FM23 Real Name Fix Add-On is a fix you can use to overcome this issue and make the game feel more familiar....

Disney has released the official trailer for the highly-anticipated Disney+ series, Kenobi, which sees the return of fan-favorite Ewan McGregor as the titular Kenobi. The trailer builds on the debut trailer about two months ago and shows off more of the Inquisitor and his Sith lackeys chasing down Kenobi around the galaxy to put down one of the last remaining Jedi masters. In a scene that will hit prequel fans right in the feels, there is a scene where Uncle Owen doubts Kenobi’s great idea to train Luke....

The closed beta for Phantasy Star Online 2 has come and gone, but the excitement for Spring’s North American launch still lingers. There are a lot of ways to get yourself ready to hit the ground running in PSO2, but Sega is offering an easy 500AC.

Bethesda has updated shooter Doom Eternal with an all-new Master Level, giving veterans an extra challenge to blast their way through for new cosmetic rewards and bragging rights. The Super Gore Nest level is billed as a “new combat experience” that has been built from the ground up around the campaign’s Super Gore Nest map, and is filled with new environmental hazards and conditions to keep even the most hardened Doom Slayer on their toes....

Krillin is an impeccable fighter and a fan favorite of the Z Fighters in Dragon Ball. Without him, the Japanese manga-turned-anime would be completely different from the way that we’ve come to know it. There is little dispute regarding Krillin’s worth to the plot, especially when it comes to his importance in developing Goku’s character. Fans tend to debate his worth as a fighter (but that’s an endless conversation). He makes a solid parent, and his personality is likable - he’s one of the most idolized characters in all of Dragon Ball....

Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot does well by connecting the entire lore of the franchise, even down to video game-only characters, two of whom remain hidden behind challenges that ascend in difficulty as the player defeats each group. These so-called villainous parties, those red crowns found in specific parts of the Kakarot map, may not seem all-too difficult at first, but eventually, they lead to some truly tough and powerful foes, from the likes of a level 50 Vegeta to a level 100 Gotenks....

Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot will be chock full of original and filler content, with players able to drive cars, ride a bipedal robot, and encounter a completely original character known as Bonyu. For many diehards of the franchise, its these moments that stand out, especially when they’ve either been skipped over or have rarely appeared in past video games. Now, publisher Bandai Namco has revealed one part of the anime featuring Raditz that has rarely been seen in games before will be appear in DBZ: Kakarot....

It’s been a long old wait but Capcom has finally announced it’s working on a sequel to cult-classic fantasy RPG Dragon’s Dogma. Speculation has been rife regarding a follow-up to the well-regarded 2012 game for some time, only exacerbated by Capcom’s decision to host a tenth anniversary livestream for the not exactly blockbuster title. It was in this retrospective livestream that Capcom’s long-awaited announcement was finally made, with series director Hideaki Itsuno revealing that Dragon’s Dogma 2 is currently in development by whipping off his jacket to reveal a t-shirt emblazoned with the sequel’s logo....

Andrew Wilson, boss of FIFA and Battlefield publisher EA, has seen his annual pay reduced to $19.9m, down from $39.2m previously. The roughly $20m pay cut was signalled last summer, when EA acknowledged “stockholder feedback” from a non-binding but decisive say-on-pay vote. In a nutshell, stockholders said EA’s execs were being handed pay awards from the company money pot that were too large and too frequent. In response, EA said it would make “substantial changes” to the pay of executives....

The legendary footballer Diego Maradona has now been “suspended” from FIFA 22, following a legal dispute which claimed EA had negotiated with the wrong party and therefore did not have the rights to use his likeness. In a message that appears when starting up the game, EA states: “Due to a third party legal dispute, we must suspend Diego Maradona from appearing in FIFA Ultimate Team Packs, Ultimate Draft and the Soccer Aid World XI team....

EA’s stock just fell by an amount not seen in over a decade due to poor sales performance from Battlefield V. And by poor we mean they sold a million fewer units than they’d hoped. But that still meant 7.3 million people picked up EA’s latest bug-filled trainwreck. It’s hard to feel bad for EA considering how they’ve been the poster child for everything that’s wrong in the games industry for decades....

Fans of Dungeons and Dragons have had quite a bit of luck as far as creating characters in the game goes. Dungeons and Dragons 5e is full of diverse classes, with players even able to create a special class if nothing feels quite right. However, some older classes are a bit weird– maybe even a bit too weird for some players. A resurfaced issue of Dragon magazine has described the Jester class, which utilized high Intelligence and Dexterity, along with very low Charisma, to thwart enemies in a heap of strange ways....
