Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot is set to launch early next year, featuring a retelling of the entire Dragon Ball Z saga. As such, one of the last battles in the game will be between SS3 Goku and Kid Buu, which is one of the final battles in the anime/manga. Bandai Namco has now given fans a closer look at that fight, courtesy of four new screenshots for Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot that show the two ultra-powerful beings battling it out....
Dragon Ball Z fans are often obsessed with the details. That’s why Dragon Ball FighterZ’s respect for its source material has helped its reception. When Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot’s creators implied that it would reveal secrets from the Dragon Ball universe’s canon, fans responded with pure excitement. Few could have predicted that Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot would ultimately only confuse certain matters all the more. One everpresent question in the Dragon Ball franchise is the nature of Earth’s people....
With the abundance of fast-paced first-person shooters and explosive action adventure games, Draugen is a welcome break in pace. As an avid fan of puzzle games such as Myst (and its equally infuriating sequel, Riven) growing up, I found that this title from Norwegian developers Red Thread Games offers something both new and nostalgic. The developers deem Draugen a “Fjord Noir tale of suspense and mystery”, and it doesn’t disappoint. With plenty of atmosphere, mystery, and suspense, this gorgeous and enthralling PC adventure is a compelling tale of tragedy and intrigue....
As the Battle Master walks into the alley, from the shadows appear three men. The shortest of them speaks, “If you don’t want any trouble, be a good girl and hand over your coin purse. And leave that sword on your hip too.” Undaunted, the Battle Master draws the blade from its sheath and raises her shield. You can bet it won’t end well for these ruffians, who have chosen the wrong victim....
EA and Marvel have announced that their previously announced untitled Iron Man game is now the first in what will be a minimum three-game deal between the two companies. The announcement today declares that, under the agreement, EA will develop “at least three new action adventure games that will be available for consoles and PC”. Each game will be its own original story and set in the Marvel universe, so won’t necessarily tie in to any of the films or indeed, the MCU....
We’re all familiar with the phrase “If it’s too good to be true, then it probably is.” This applies to many things life, but it’s used quite often when referring to getting a deal — or a perceived one. Surely the phrase came to plenty of players’ minds when EA’s pre-order listing of FIFA 23 was going for the equivalent of a mere $0.06 USD on the Epic Games Store. In actuality, the extreme discount was a complete accident, but EA is willing to swallow the cost and allow the deal snipers to keep their bounty....
The Russian national football team and all Russian clubs will be removed from FIFA 22, FIFA Mobile and FIFA Online, EA has announced. EA made the announcement this afternoon, just days after the real-life FIFA and UEFA governing bodies said Russia’s national side and players would be banned until further notice. The inevitable FIFA 23, which is still to be officially confirmed, is not mentioned in today’s statement. “EA Sports stands in solidarity with the Ukranian people and like so many voices across the world of football, calls for peace and an end to the invasion of Ukraine,” reads a statement released via Twitter....
We’ve been following the development of Empire of Sin since it was first announced last year by Paradox Interactive and Romero Games. It’s a prohibition era empire builder that falls into the vein of X-Com with its turn-based combat. As stated, it’s all about management first, and combat second. That of course doesn’t stop the action from being plenty entertaining though. Alongside the release date reveal, Romero Games also shared a new trailer to get people hyped....
Last week, Ooblets developer Glumberland released a statement on the game’s official website. The statement explained the developer’s reasons for accepting a one-year exclusivity deal on the Epic Games Store, as several other developers and publishers have done recently. It also addressed the potential issues that some PC gamers might have with the exclusivity deal. As expected, a vocal contingent (mainly denizens of Reddit) took umbrage with the statement and its tone....
Fortnite’s developers have teamed up with a leading toy company in order to bring some of the video game’s weapons to life. Fortnite is almost everywhere you turn right now. Even if you are one of the 50 people that aren’t playing the game (there can’t be more of you left than that by now, right?) your social media feeds are likely still littered with Fortnite-related content. Whether it’s YouTubers showing off their skills or news of the next lot of challenges, the Fortnite hype juggernaut rolls over anyone in its path....
Epic Games’ MOBA Paragon will be released for PS4 and PC in 2016, the developer has announced. Xbox One hasn’t yet been confirmed as a release platform, but this was never going to happen given the announcement came at Sony’s PlayStation Experience 2015. It remains to be seen if Xbox One will be announced at a later date. Check out the first gameplay footage below. Paragon is a 5v5 hero shooter in which players are in direct control over their hero, yet Epic promises to preserve what gamers lover about MOBAs....
Rare‘s next game is Everwild, shown for the first time today during X019. It’s a brief teaser, showing off little in terms of gameplay. What can be seen, however, is some rather gorgeous scenery and interesting twists on wild life. Does that deer have antlers, or just big, flappy ears? I don’t know, but I want to find out. The game is coming out for the Xbox One, but since this is a first-person Microsoft game, it likely won’t be locked to the system....
Genuinely terrifying horror games are few and far between, but Silent Hill was one of the first franchises to keep people awake with its psychological terror stemming from the gripping narratives and innovative monster design present in each entry. The early entries are timeless classics still being discovered by legions of new gamers. The series is currently on hiatus after Konami canceled the promising Silent Hills, a collaboration between famed horror director Guillermo del Toro and Metal Gearcreator Hideo Kojima....
Despite the major failures of the past, and the potential major failures of the future, the film industry still apparently wants to turn every video game they can get their hands on into a movie. The Sonic The Hedgehog movie is coming next year (whether we like or not), and there’s both an Uncharted and Gears Of War movie on the way as well. One project we haven’t heard a lot about lately is the rumored Metal Gear Solid movie....
Publisher Saber Interactive has offered fans a little more insight into upcoming multiplayer horror title Evil Dead: The Game. The information comes by the way of a PlayStation blog post, detailing the asymmetric offering. As previously established, the game sees you team with up to three friends as heroes from the Evil Dead franchise. As an addition, it seems the promised single player option will also allow you to team up with AI instead....
Being the hero has always been a key part of the video game fantasy, but seldom do you get an experience as a vampire hunter prowling the Wild West and ridding it of evil. That’s exactly what’s awaiting players in Evil West, the third-person action game, and with the arrival of a new extended gameplay trailer, there is certainly some gory fun to be had. If you have a need to find out more about the narrative-driven campaign, see some of the more colorful characters that call the chaos home, or check out one of the boss fights that await, you can catch the extended trailer below:...
Evil West is a remarkably direct take on third-person action, a linear and propulsive combat game with no open-world diversions, no loot, no crafting, and no side quests. The combat system at its core is fast-paced, responsive, and fair, and the B-movie style plot is well-told through a series of high-quality cinematics. Unfortunately though, the game has garnered controversy prior to release thanks to a pretty unexciting set of resolution options as reported by the game’s publisher - a 4K30 quality mode is par for the course, but 1080p60 performance modes for PS5 and Series X have concerned many....
We love a good dragon story. Bright Star, out next month from Tor Teen, tells the story of Andra, a half-human, half-elf indentured servant who is swept up in a secret rebellion and meets Tiri, a young dragon whose mind speaks directly to hers in the process. This fantasy debut from author Erin Swan, Bright Star is the story of a girl who goes from servant to rebel leader and finds her own magic along the way, and is perfect for anyone who has ever wanted to have a dragon best friend (which is all of us, right?...
Fade to Silence has left Steam early access. As you can see in our official review and technical review, it’s a visually appealing game that keeps you on your toes, punishing you for your mistakes. Unfortunately, a handful of bugs, crashes, and shallow mechanics also leave it feeling under the weather. Still, if you did pick it up, you might want to know how you can survive this bleak, frozen hell....
Compile Heart released two videos of the upcoming JRPG Fairy Fencer F: Refrain Chord, focusing on the music. In fact, the videos don’t show any gameplay but reveal two different songs included in the game. The first is “Inori no Neiro” (Tones of Prayer), which is a song performed by the friendly diva Fleur, while the second is “Goku Yoru Hyousetsu” (Snow of the Polar Night) performed by the enemy diva Glace....
