She’ll join Dead or Alive series newcomer Diego when Team Ninja’s fighting game hits PlayStation 4, Windows PC and Xbox One on Feb. 15, 2019. NiCO is known as The Lightning Technomancer, according to Koei Tecmo, and practices the martial art known as Pencak Silat from Southeast Asia. But that’s not all; as NiCO is

Pokémon Go’s influence on Pokémon: Let’s Go!, the series’ very good Nintendo Switch debut, is apparent all over the place. They’ve been pitched almost as a pair, as if Pokémon Go were the mobile testing ground for Pokémon: Let’s Go!. But thanks to the wonders of Bluetooth technology, Nintendo’s convoluted instructions and my very limited patience, I found that getting some of my Pokémon Go collection over to Pokémon: Let’s Go! Entering the Go Park building, I prepared to to pair Pokémon Go with

Select that, and the menu will give you options to dress your trainer and partner Pokémon. Your partner Pokémon can swap out their hat, glasses, clothes and accessories. After a bit of swiping, your Pokémon will shake its head, a cloud will cover its face, and poof!

The Powerpuff Girls were instantly popular with young viewers when they first swooped in to save the day on Nov. 18, 1998. The Powerpuff Girls dealt in radical messages. The affection the Powerpuff Girls have isn’t first demonstrated with a kiss on the cheek. In this deeper reading, the Powerpuff Girls make an alternative argument to most animated action series: there are other ways to fight. The Powerpuff Girls never killed anyone with kindness — but it did win them a fight.

“Fix PUBG” is over. PUBG Corp. said on Friday that the three-month project to shore up PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds’ performance, matchmaking, balance and fair play has drawn to a close. Going forward, said Taeseok Jang, the game’s executive producer, developers will focus on stability and gameplay quality — priorities that had been forsaken as the team pushed to get new content out, leading to the need to fix PUBG. Fix PUBG began in early August and it took its name from two-word fan feedback

Fallout 76’s next post-release patch is due on Monday, five days after launch, bringing with it several fixes and upgrades spotlighted during the game’s two-week beta. That’s happening “in the coming weeks,” Bethesda Game Studios said on Friday. Even Fallout 76 players who are scrupulous about breaking down all their junk to bulk components are butting up against the limit as they build up their arsenal of weapons and wardrobe of armor. Despite my initial disappointments I’ve still sunk a ton of

The smartwatch craze kind of missed the boat with me, but I could be convinced to get one for this Pip-Boy themed Fallout watch going on sale this week for $149.99. This is the (adjusts glasses) “first-ever Fallout Superfan Smartwatch,” from One61 Studio, which earlier this year launched a line of three DC Comics smartwatches packing the same kind of functionality and slick design. The Fallout Superfan Smartwatch synchronizes with both iOS and Android devices via Bluetooth and an app. The watch

The Coen brothers aren’t strangers to the Wild West, but with their new film, The Ballad of Buster Scruggs (now streaming on Netflix), they take things in a different direction. In many ways, the anthology film brings to mind this year’s biggest game release, Red Dead Redemption 2. The tone of Buster Scruggs, which strings together six individual stories to form a feature, is reminiscent of a very specific aspect in Red Dead 2: The side missions. The main story of Red Dead Redemption 2 focuses o

Disney brought in John Williams, the composer of just about every significant film score over the past 45 years, to do an original theme for the Star Wars “Galaxy’s Edge” parks opening next year. The video at EW also includes an aerial view of Batuu, the new world that will be the setting for Galaxy’s Edge. The other is aboard a First Order ship and brings visitors face to face with Kylo Ren. There’s also another look at the Star Wars hotel planned for Walt Disney World, which will be a Westworl

Desert Bus For Hope, the charity gaming marathon now in its 12th year, finished on Friday after setting records for money raised and hours driven. In Desert Bus for Hope, donors “buy” time behind the wheel, with the first hour starting at $1 and rapidly scaling up from there. The volunteers “play” Desert Bus, a satirical minigame for the unreleased Penn & Teller’s Smoke & Mirrors for the Sega CD from 1994. Conceived as the worst and most deliberately boring video game ever, Desert Bus drives bet

Thronebreaker: The Witcher Tales, was a sales disappointment for CD Projekt Red when it launched at the end of October on Windows PC, and the publisher suggested that original plans to launch exclusively on GOG.com — which CDPR owns — is to blame. In a financial call earlier this week, co-chief executive Adam Kicinski said CD Projekt Red had high expectations for sales based on community anticipation of the game, which took what had been planned as a small singleplayer campaign for Gwent: The Wi

Microsoft has plans to launch an Xbox One S that lacks a disc drive, according to unnamed sources in a rumor posted by Thurrott.com. Under the plan, the console will run less than $200, Thurrott says, and Microsoft Stores will support a program whereby users can take in physical Xbox One media and trade it for a digital download to their Xbox Live account. Polygon has reached out to Microsoft representatives to ask if it’s true, this console has no disc. The Xbox One S originally launched in Aug

The story of Fallout 76 is that we’re rebuilding America. Whatever the case, there is a lot of infrastructure in Fallout 76 upon which to build. Some bread-and-butter experiences of Fallout — and they are still staples in Fallout 76, too — are simply too boring for group play. Similarly, Fallout 76 will require more patience from lifer fans than any other entry. There is still a nagging feeling that there is something worth my time in Fallout 76.

Hidetaka Miyazaki, the chief executive of From Software and the creator of Bloodborne and the Dark Souls series, was honored with the lifetime achievement award of the 36th Golden Joystick Awards yesterday in London. “To receive such a prestigious award from the Golden Joysticks fills me with great surprise and a sense of great honor.” Miyazaki said in his acceptance speech.

“If you want stuff like this to stop happening, stay off the Internet,” the cop tells her, shaming her over a career as a cam girl. Before anything too elevated even happens in Cam, Alice takes a verbal beating over her legitimate living. In Cam, Alice is both a victim and her own hero. Director Daniel Goldhaber and screenwriter Isa Mazzei, a former sex worker herself, illustrate the vulnerability of online cam girls. What makes Cam scarier than so much other horror is that it leaves its protago
