The trailer immediately set the tone for Daemon X Machina, which doesn’t seem like any other title coming to Nintendo Switch right now. If the trailer gave you unshakable Armored Core vibes, it’s because Daemon X Machina’s producer is Kenichiro Tsukuda, a veteran of that series. Daemon X Machina’s Arsenal mech suits let you fly your custom character around a variety of cityscapes, each containing multiple missions, including boss fights. The game’s entire color palette — a mix of vivid reds, ora

Jim Louderback, VidCon CEO, told Polygon that new security measures are being implemented at this year’s VidCon to try and prevent unsafe situations. Logan Paul hid $3,000 around VidCon for fans and, when he was spotted by those fans, the scene turned into a full-on stampede. Louderback said the VidCon security team has learned how to provide a safer experience for fans and creators. It started to get a lot of fans and a lot of creators, and there was a lot of enthusiasm. So the team started doi

With the PlayStation 4 coming up on its five-year anniversary, Sony is dropping the price on a number of the console’s best-selling games under the new PlayStation Hits label, the company announced Tuesday. The launch lineup for the PlayStation Hits program will feature 15 games for U.S. customers and 14 in Canada, where the games will cost CA$19.99. And of course, the company will drop the prices accordingly on the PlayStation Store in both countries. At retail, PlayStation Hits games will feat

Cyberpunk 2077 is the latest effort from CD Projekt Red, makers of The Witcher series of epic role-playing games. Here’s everything we know about Cyberpunk 2077. Cyberpunk 2077 is set in the free state of Northern California. Related Three things Cyberpunk 2077 gets right about the original tabletop RPGTake note, however, that Pondsmith’s Cyberpunk is a fairly broad universe. In Cyberpunk 2077, players will take on the role of a character nicknamed V. It’s not a stock avatar as in the Witcher ga

[Warning: this post contains major spoilers for The Incredibles 2]There’s always more than meets the eye in a Brad Bird movie. The middleground between the two poles is a little easier to see in Incredibles 2 given that the Deavor siblings are designated opposites. Evelyn has valid points, but so does Winston: if someone has the power to do good, shouldn’t they use it? In Incredibles 2, being super is secondary to doing what’s right, and simply being good. Maybe it gets a little messy — even tho

In her Black Panther spoof (above), Haddish fills the role of M’Baku, challenging T’Challa to the throne. The Movie Awards was a big night for Black Panther, which picked up four awards, including Best Performance in a Movie for star Chadwick Boseman and Best Villain for Michael B. Jordan. “I’m the first black woman to host the MTV Movie Awards, Black Panther is the first African-American movie to make a billion dollars, and The Quiet Place is the first film to scare black people out of talking

If you love Nintendo, and you love Disney Channel, and you have a family, you could be one of four families to compete in a Disney Channel Nintendo Switch competition. Last summer, Disney XD launched D|XP, their nightly gamer programming block, featuring shows from Waypoint, IGN, and YouTuber Parker Coppins. It looks like the Nintendo Switch Family Showdown will bring some summer gaming fun to the Disney Channel programming network. The Nintendo Switch Family Showdown will be shown on Disney Cha

Star Trek fans will be boldly going all over the universe in the next few years, if CBS’ franchise expansion plans stick. According to Variety, four new Trek series are actively in development at the network, presumably as programming for CBS All Access, the streaming-only service that premiered Star Trek Discovery in late 2017. More likely is a show centering on Khan Noonien Singh, portrayed by Ricardo Montalbán in the Star Trek: TOS’ Space Seed episode and again in the film Star Trek II. (Bene

No matter where you look in the Destiny 2 community, someone is goofing about Cayde-6’s death — even if only to stop from crying. This is the big “I don’t know” question going into Forsaken, although there are some potential answers. In case you haven’t noticed, the Destiny Vanguard is made up of each of the three playable races in Destiny. We can assume that Mara will show back up here and we know Petra is coming back. Destiny 2: Forsaken will release on Sept. 4 for PlayStation 4, Windows PC an

Destiny 2: Forsaken has finally been revealed, and players will be able to experience Destiny 2 in a whole new light. Here’s everything we know about Destiny 2: Forsaken. We don’t know much about its size compared to other Destiny locations, but Bungie’s reveal stream showed a group of three guardians driving sparrows through it. While we don’t know if he’ll feature as the final raid boss, we do know that he is the big bad of Forsaken. Mara Sov is also likely to make a return, although we don’t

FromSoftware arrived at E3 2018 with two games that might’ve surprised anyone who’s followed the developer for the last several years, when it created the Dark Souls franchise and Bloodborne. The studio’s first reveal at E3 2018 was Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice, a game teased last December, and widely speculated to be a continuation of FromSoftware’s Bloodborne or Tenchu brands. At E3 2018, Miyazaki told Polygon that these seeming departures are a way to broaden the developer’s portfolio while reta

The Xbox One X is the most powerful console on the market, but Microsoft itself did very little to promote this fact during its press conference at E3 this year. It was sometimes remarked that games would “look best” on an Xbox One X. Why offer the feature if you’re not going to make it count while trying to win over players? The lack of bragging about the ongoing and enjoyable backward compatibility of the Xbox One X was also a bit strange. Especially when you’re playing your classic games on X

Monday marked the start of mobile and browser game Granblue Fantasy’s collaboration event with Persona 5 — and it’s good. The event, which is heavily story based, takes place after the Phantom Thieves take down Madarame in Persona 5. Upon being sucked in, they end up in the world of Granblue Fantasy and run into your gang. Seeing the Phantom Thieves talk (and argue) with each other warms the heart, but seeing them talk with the Granblue Fantasy gang is hilarious. I fully expected the modern aest

Incredible) to baby Jack Jack’s suite of superpowers. But rather than pit Jack Jack against a super villain, we watch the infant brutally punish a racoon for the minor crime of snooping through the family’s garbage. Bird knows the critter’s reactions deserve just as much screen time as Jack Jack’s incredible powers. And like its contemporaries, the bigger Incredibles 2’s set pieces become, the greater the challenge to follow the action. It shouldn’t be a surprise, then, that the movie’s best act

Although I could have played on my own, this is a co-op game, best played in the company of another. It’s about how a game connects people, how it requires us to learn how to better operate in harmony. But in the context of a game like Unravel 2, we are equals who can learn from one another. Swedish developer Coldwood Interactive has populated seven levels with two-player puzzles that require real teamwork. If you’re looking for a game to enjoy with the people you care about, I’m happy to recomm

Buzz for Netflix’s Stranger Things is becoming a year-round event. In addition to a Universal Studios’ Halloween Horror Nights attraction underway and a game by Telltale Games in the makes, Stranger Things fans can now add comic-book series to the list of offshoots to look forward in the near future. Dark Horse told Entertainment Weekly that this comic book partnership is a “multi-year publishing line” that will explore more of the Stranger Things world and characters. The first series will focu

The Crystal Gems are back after Steven Universe’s latest major revelation — but this time, it looks like they’re falling apart instead of fusing together. [Warning: Major spoilers for Season 5 of Steven Universe ahead.] A recently released trailer for Steven Universe’s “Heart of the Crystal Gems” arc, due out early next month, details the aftermath of the series’ dark turn. Pearl, ordered into silence by Rose before Pink Diamond’s supposed death, was the only one out of all the Crystal Gems who

Overkill’s The Walking Dead is not Left 4 Dead, but the developers said that they’re flattered by the comparison. I played through the Central Georgetown mission at E3 2018 alongside two of the developers and another E3 attendee, which allowed me to see how Overkill’s The Walking Dead manages to put a new spin on cooperative zombie shooter gameplay. The first point of difference is that you are actively fighting against other human beings, not just the walkers infesting the city. By playing thro

But after playing the E3 2018 demo, I’m glad I’ve held off — for now. This is all to say, be wary of checking out gameplay for My Hero One’s Justice if you’re only watching the anime and spoiler-averse. Of all the games that I played at E3, My Hero One’s Justice is one that I can point to and say unequivocally, “that was incredibly fun.”But just be careful about those spoilers. My Hero One’s Justice will come out on Xbox One, PlayStation 4, Nintendo Switch, and PC this year. If you dug this vide
