But, in so doing, it managed to prove that there was still room for creativity and innovation in this field of game design, art direction, and level design. The birth of MetroidvaniaOf course, now we have a very simple, if not particularly elegant, word for describing this style of world design: Metroidvania. Its pixelart, 2D design actually enhances them, as they can play against your expectations, offering interactivity or traps where you might otherwise not expect to find them. Castlevania: S

Though Red Dead Redemption 2 fever has well and truly struck the gaming populace since its launch last week, there’s still life beyond the dusty dunes and snowy peaks of Rockstar’s open world. Case in point: No Man’s Sky is getting its first major update since the release of its game-changing Next expansion in Summer, and this one’s all about life under the sea. As the trailer outlines, The Abyss expands No Man’s Sky’s underwater biomes with new flora, fauna, and deep sea creatures, some of whic

Pokemon Go will be full of bugs this November – but don’t worry, these are the good kind. Bug-type Pokemon! Collect enough stamps during November to earn a Research Breakthrough and get an opportunity to catch Shedinja! pic.twitter.com/aGkLULTxZUOctober 26, 2018These Pokemon aren’t typically favored by players; Bug-type trainers were among the first, and weakest, enemies the original Pokemon Red and Blue games set you up against. The only question is, can you catch a Shedinja without catching a

Nier: Automata ‘s android heroine 2B will be part of the Soul Calibur 6 season pass, Bandai Namco announced today.

What makes this particular situation kind of funny (in an ironic way)

Enter “The Blood Moon” – a Bloodborne Halloween event concocted by the players themselves. In case you’ve been away from the game for awhile, here’s a helpful reminder of how Bloodborne multiplayer works: first, you need to grab the Beckoning Bell, as well as the Small Resonant Bell and Sinister Resonant Bell. Ringing the Small Resonant Bell is your way of volunteering to help another player, and does not cost Insight to use. The Sinister Resonant Bell is how you invade other players’ worlds and

Rockstar’s acclaimed open-world epic Red Dead Redemption 2 creates a world to really lose yourself in. Please share your favorite memories in the comments section below, or get in touch via Twitter with the hashtag #reddeadstories. I died, of course, and lost my haul of fish, but it was a price worth paying for such an unforgettable Red Dead memory. I had a bear hat to claim after all.

Turn on ‘toggle to run’Just like every GTA, Red Dead doesn’t adopt a proper analogue movement system. Unless a developer really pours time and care into making its game sing in HDR, the results can look washed out.

While it feels like we can’t move for hot new TV shows that everyone’s raving about, not everyone gets the appeal of your favorite TV obsession. That’s the debate on team GR this week – what popular TV show do you secretly think is terrible? I got halfway through the first book, and have tried watching Game of Thrones season 1 so many times I can describe those first few episodes with startling clarity.

As Capcom USA announced on Twitter earlier today, Capcom is bringing “multiple fan favorites” to the Nintendo Switch next year, including the original Resident Evil, Resident Evil 0, and Resident Evil 4. Resident Evil, Resident Evil 0, and Resident Evil 4 will each be launching on Nintendo Switch in 2019! Then again, we’ve already got Monster Hunter: Generations and Okami , so I’m pretty much set for Switch ports of Capcom games if I’m honest. That being said, I’d love to see Resident Evil 5 mak

As of update 2.0.5, you’ll have a greater chance of receiving an Exotic item you don’t have in your collection whenever you get an Exotic drop. Additionally – and thank heavens for this – Exotic quest weapons like Malfeasance and Wish Ender are being removed from the Exotic loot pool. Enhancement
