The difference between the Nintendo Switch and Nintendo Switch OLED The Switch OLED isn’t necessarily a bad console. It’s perfect for first-time Switch adopters as it’s only $50 more compared to the base Switch. The problem here is that the Switch is showing its age now that it’s already 4 years old. It was already a relatively weak console at launch, especially when compared to the PS4 and the Xbox One....
However, some are still a cut above the others, and ultimately numbers never lie. If your preferred spec is the Demolisher Technomancer, here’s the top build right now. Introduction The Technomancer is the dedicated long range support specialist of Outriders, with one heavily healing-oriented tech tree and two others that are more versatile with a DPS focus. One of these is Demolisher, which is what we’ll be looking at today in depth....
Aside from the server traffic, players have also reported that they could not transfer their characters from Overwatch to the sequel. The issue is related to the new first-time user experience that Blizzard implemented for OW2. Veteran players were not happy about having to play 100 matches to unlock all the characters. The development team has heard the complaints from the community and has already deployed several patches to normalize the gameplay experience....
Overwatch 2 had a spectacularly bumpy release. During that time, the game’s servers were targeted by DDoS attacks, struggled to migrate Overwatch 1 data and were hampered by long queues, amongst other issues and criticisms. Players were also unhappy with Blizzard’s implementation of the first-time user experience and the need for a valid mobile number in order to create a game account. Blizzard has since addressed most of these issues, and the studio even issued a subsequent apology, offering compensation in the form of free cosmetic items....
A quick search on eBay and other online sites will show you how players are selling Burger King’s “proprietary” Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 operator skin for $30, which is nearly half the $70 price of a copy of the game. This is obviously not what Burger King and Activision Blizzard intended. The goal was to get players to buy the Modern Warfare II x Burger King meal, fill themselves up enough to use the one-hour double XP bonus and show off their all-new Burger Town operator skin....
Earlier this year, Microsoft bought Activision Blizzard for $70 billion. Unfortunately, the deal is taking far longer than expected. At the moment, Microsoft is dealing with regulators that are investigating the buyout. In the meantime, Microsoft has cleared the air concerning whether Call of Duty will become exclusive to the Xbox. According to Spencer, Sony will have Call of Duty for “several more years”. However, Ryan has since responded to the letter that was presumably sent to him....
Of the 5 best-selling video game consoles in history, Sony owns three of them. The top-selling unit, the PlayStation 2, has a sizable lead over the Nintendo DS portable consoles (2nd place), as well as the combined sales of the Gameboy and Gameboy Color (3rd place). The PlayStation 4 (4th place) and the original PlayStation (5th place) are also both close behind. As a matter of fact, the only console that Sony made that didn’t even break into the top 5 is the PlayStation 3....
Case in point, after Capcom updated the Resident Evil history page, fans now believe that the Japanese video game developers are going to announce remasters of the former Dreamcast-exclusive, Resident Evil: CODE Veronica, and 2003’s Resident Evil Outbreak for the PlayStation 2. Both Resident Evil games aren’t the most popular mainstream, but the latter has developed a cult following over the years. Meanwhile, the former was part of our list of the best Resident Evil games of all time, which shouldn’t be surprising considering that the Claire Redfield-led survival-horror title was effectively Resident Evil 3 in all but name....
The claim regarding Bully 2’s alleged cancellation comes from AccNGT, a known industry insider usually posting on Twitter. Just recently this account shared information about the issues plaguing the development of Grand Theft Auto 6. Various vague reports over the years consistently indicated that Rockstar Games did indeed plan and even begin development of a sequel to Bully, and it was generally accepted to be a question of “when” rather than “if” the series would continue....
After a long wait, the Batman: Arkham studio has finally posted a new update about Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League. Unfortunately, in doing so, Rocksteady also confirmed something that fans knew was coming but were hoping wasn’t true - the game won’t be coming soon. Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League’s director, Sefton Hill, broke the news on Twitter, saying that the new Suicide Squad game won’t be hitting the market until spring 2023....
Case in point, SEGA. The company behind the Sega Genesis console and iconic video game franchises like Sonic and Yakuza recently announced that it’s working on a blockchain game.

The info reveals that the NFT game will be based on the real-time strategy arcade series, Sangokushi Taisen. SEGA nor Double Jump Tokyo have confirmed a release date and platforms for the game....
While this explains the term for ships docking for 40 days out of fear of spreading disease, we don’t know if there is a term for whatever is going on with Skull & Bones. Ubisoft’s swash-buckling pirate game has been in development for the better part of the past decade. Yet, it seems like audiences are no closer to seeing the title come to life now than before. However, a recent report suggests that the development of Skull & Bones is progressing well....
According to Sony, the PSVR2 will come out in “early 2023.” What’s interesting about Sony’s latest announcement is that it came with little fanfare. We didn’t get a State of Play or even a PlayStation Blog post. Instead, all Sony did was post a photo of the PSVR2 on Instagram, saying “Coming early 2023.” This is in line with analyst claims back in May. The Japanese tech giant has been so secretive about the PSVR2, so it’s nice to hear some official news straight from the horse’s mouth....
According to multiple sources such as VGC, as well as other trusted insiders, a multiplayer Horizon experience is in development. It’s worth noting that Guerilla Games always had a co-op mode planned for the sequel, Horizon Forbidden West. Unfortunately, due to deadlines, it had to put the idea on the back burner. If anything, Guerilla might have just gotten the green light from Sony to release the multiplayer feature as a standalone online game....
Earlier this month, several fans claimed to have come across information suggesting Heavenly Bodies as one of the PS Plus games for December 2021. However, according to a more reliable set of sources, Sony has something bigger planned for PS Plus subscribers before the year ends. What are the PS Plus games for December 2021? Before we proceed, we’d like to remind you that Sony hasn’t confirmed the PS Plus games for December 2021 yet....

The trailer, which is two-and-a-half minutes long, focuses on the game’s story. It introduces fans to some of the game’s characters, including major characters like Denam Pavel and Catiua Pavel. In addition, the trailer provides a snippet of the gameplay and demonstrates what fans can expect from the game and how it will proceed. The game’s synopsis reads: Tactics Ogre: Reborn is a reimagining of the second game in the five-part Ogre Battle series titled Tactics Ogre: Let Us Cling Together....
Case in point, just weeks after fans believed that Square Enix was reviving Parasite Eve, the company confirmed that Symbiogenesis is an NFT project. Square Enix referred to Symbiogenesis as an “NFT Collectible Art Project” that will launch in Spring 2023, which Square Enix described in the official press release as: It’s unclear why Square Enix insists on pursuing NFTs when the rest of the gaming industry has made their thoughts about the subject known....
According to Zelnick, play-to-earn games have a future. In an IGN interview, Zelnick described the current slate of play-to-earn games as “not highly entertaining and they’re not regulated nor are their economics transparent.” He says that he’s not surprised by how the public has reacted to play-to-earn games, saying that “there’s a lot to be done with [play-to-earn games] that’s exciting.” Meanwhile, when it comes to NFTs, Zelnick had similar thoughts....
This time around, Techland is making a very bold but also very believable promise about Dying Light 2: Stay Human. Dying Light is one of the most underrated games of all time. The game didn’t get the mainstream recognition it deserved, but Techland still did the game’s die-hard player base right. The studio supported Dying Light for years after it was released. It wasn’t enough for Techland to release a massive expansion for Dying Light in 2016....
