TwitchCon 2019 kicked off today in San Diego, bringing streamers and their communities together to celebrate everything that makes livestreaming so special. The TwitchCon opening ceremony was held at the end of the day in the Glitch Theater, and Twitch CEO Emmett Shear had a number of big announcements to make with regards to features and changes coming to the platform. Twitch Studio Twitch Studio has been in closed beta for a couple months now, but Emmett announced that it will now be moving into open beta so everyone can try Twitch’s in-house broadcasting software before it officially releases in November....

There is an abundance of rumors circulating on the internet about what a Resident Evil 8 might entail. Perhaps the most bizarre rumor suggests that the game will be in a medieval setting with armored zombies and swords. We know that the game is in development, but what’s the plot? Armored zombies and swords sound bizarre, but let’s not rule out the zombies and werewolves rumor. It wouldn’t be the first time the game featured vicious canines....

Mild spoilers ahead for Picard Season 1 and Discovery Season 2. Right now, somewhere, several new Star Trek projects are being planned and fans can only guess as to what those things will be. Relatively speaking, shows centered around Spock’s human sister or an aging Jean-Luc Picard would have seemed pretty far-fetched if you asked a fan about those ideas in 2016. Similarly, the idea of recasting the Original Series actors for the 2009 Star Trek reboot would have sounded crazy to fans in 2003, when Enterprise was still on the air....

Fall Guys has rolled out a new game mode, Sweet Thieves, which is available via a limited test now. The offering, detailed in a new trailer below, has shades of Capture the Flag. One team must sneak in and steal candy pieces from the other team’s base - but there’s a stealth element at play also. If a thief (who is invisible) gets grabbed, they are sent into a jail area....

Fallout 4 was a successful entry in the beloved series and although the franchise has had some troubles recently, the game managed to build on what made previous entries great. Despite some fans preferring the gameplay of New Vegas and Fallout 3, Fallout 4 received positive reviews. The game has now been remade using the new PlayStation 4 title Dreams. The results of this remake are incredible. Dreams has been a tricky title to define, primarily because of the amount of user creation and sharing in the game....

Elden Ring players can now test their knowledge of the game’s world in a fan made GeoGuessr game. For the unfamiliar, GeoGuessr is a browser game that drops players somewhere in the real world and tasks them with pinpointing their exact location on a map. Now, thanks to reddit user TheEdenChild, there’s an Elden Ring version that drops players into The Lands Between. Watch on YouTube Elden Ring | Free Colosseum Update trailer...

Ubisoft has delved further into the intricacies of Far Cry 5’s open-world Home County, offering an idea of what to expect in terms of the various creatures and characters you’ll bump into. Far Cry has always had its fill of pugnacious wildlife snapping at your heels, and it sounds like this latest entry is no different, with numerous critters lined up. First up, those of you who remember the honey badger from Far Cry 4 and Far Cry Primal will be pleased to know that the vicious little bugger is replaced here with the equally fearsome wolverine....

A talented DIYer has released some pictures and a making of video showing off his new Mario Kart-themed nursery. “After a year and a half of work, this puppy is finally done! After creating my Legend of Zelda and Yoshi’s Island nurseries, I knew I had to up the ante just a bit,” explained Troy McClure on YouTube. “After searching online, there didn’t seem to be any big attempts at a Mario Kart nursery out there, and with the newest version coming out, Mario Kart 8, that sparked my interest....

It’s hard to talk about legendary RPG franchises without mentioning the cream of the crop, Final Fantasy. This revered JRPG series has established a stellar reputation for spawning some of the greatest role-playing experiences of all time, bolstered by excellent stories, memorable characters, and some truly entertaining combat — provided you’re willing to overlook a few faults of its time. One of the major facets of Final Fantasy that became all the rage when it was introduced for the very first time was the Limit Break system....

The Compilation of Final Fantasy VII is best known for its games, but Square Enix branched off into other forms of media, which included a CGI movie that acted as a sequel to Final Fantasy VII and an OVA that showed another perspective on the events surrounding the Nibelheim Incident and Zack’s escape from the Shinra Mansion. Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children was released in 2005 in Japan, while Last Order -Final Fantasy VII- was released alongside it, but wasn’t included in international home releases until 2007....

A Final Fantasy VII Remake demo is out now on the PlayStation Store, and showcases the game’s Sector 1 Reactor mission (via VGC). Square Enix elected to postpone the launch of Final Fantasy VII Remake, so that it gets the attention it deserves to become the essential experience of the classic game. “We are making this tough decision in order to give ourselves a few extra weeks to apply final polish to the game and to deliver you with the best possible experience....

Square Enix has just announced that Final Fantasy XIV has reached a new milestone. The community now has over 10 million players worldwide, which isn’t too shabby at all, and is apparently greater than the combined population of Scotland and Wales — although, per an extremely restrained asterisk in the press release, this does include people who registered for the free trial. Square Enix says this success is largely due to the game’s ‘robust updates that consistently provide players with new content’....

I can’t deny that Fire Emblem: Three Houses is one of my favourite games this generation. From defying the church to restoring a kingdom, I saw everything each route could offer, yet Three Hopes’ announcement still left me cautious. Following the success of Hyrule Warriors and, of course, Fire Emblem Warriors, Nintendo has once again teamed up with Koei Tecmo for a musou spin-off, swapping Fire Emblem’s tactical RPG gameplay for hack-and-slash combat....

Boy meets girl, girl tries to run away from boy, boy releases girl from captivity, and girl comes back. Also throw in some side notes about magic furniture. It’s a tale as old as time.

It is also one of Disney’s first times to have a solely credited female screenwriter....

Hearthstone is not currently in the pipeline for PS4, Xbox One, and Switch, developer Blizzard Entertainment has confirmed. Speaking with DualShockers in light of the Year of the Raven reveal, Yong Woo and Ben Brode, who serve as Senior Producer and Game Director, respectively, confirmed that there’s no announcement to be made in regards to a console version of the popular Collectible Card Game. Hearthstone was released on PC, iOS, and Android back in 2014, with many assuming it would eventually make the transition to home consoles as a result of Blizzard’s long-standing history with these formats....

Bethesda Game Studios recently released classic versions of Doom and Doom 2 on the Nintendo Switch with one caveat: they required players who purchased the games to create and log into a Bethesda account before playing. Now, that hurdle has been removed. When fans found out they had to login to play, they mocked Bethesda on social media with memes that poked fun at the company’s policies. Not only were players required to login, but they had to do it every time they booted up one of the games....
