Watch Dogs: Legion launched last year to a decent reception. The long-awaited sequel to the tech-obsessed franchise didn’t turn out to be a bust like many were worried about, but it certainly didn’t arrive as promised. One key component missing from the game was the online mode. Ubisoft cited development limitations, which were clearly due to the pandemic. While it was disappointing news, most fans were pretty familiar with the concept of delays by the time the announcement came....

Long before the HBO TV series, or before Zack Snyder put Jon Osterman on the silver screen, no discussion of Watchmen could possibly be considered complete without someone making a joke about Dr. Manhattan’s enormous, glowing, blue penis and his predilection for nudity. Doctor Manhattan is nude through most of the pages he appears on in Watchmen, the vast majority of the time in a non-sexual context, and that atomic powered dong is always there, as much a part of the book’s timeless iconography as the Comedian’s badge or Rorschach’s mask....

Predator is a classic of the sci-fi genre, featuring Arnold Schwarzenegger at the peak of his powers, John McTiernan’s taut direction, a killer concept and a record number of quality one-liners. It’s a seamless fusion of action and horror, providing viewers with a squad of badass, muscley dudes with big guns – who are ultimately helpless in the face of a literally out of this world threat. It’s a testament to McTiernan’s skill that a potentially cheesy concept still holds up today, but it didn’t always seem like a slam-dunk....

This review contains spoilers. 2.10 The Passenger It’s strange how things seem to run in parallel. On the third season return of Preacher (spoiler ahead) there’s a lengthy bit of the episode dedicated to bringing a dead character back to life. I said in that review that it didn’t really cheapen the concept of death, because it’s not a show where there are any hard and fast rules about it. Preacher is a show about a man with the power of God looking to find God and hold Him accountable for His neglect of creation....

Cyberpunk 2077’s massive open-world will not feature any pesky loading screens, its associate design director has revealed. Speaking with fans during a Discord chat (via Spieltimes), Kyle Rowley said that players won’t encounter any loading screens whatsoever after the game’s initial boot up. This is pretty good to hear, even more so due to the fact Cyberpunk 2077 features a pretty dense open-world. Players can enter multiple buildings, more so than any other CD Projekt RED title to date, so it’s not as if you’re just wondering around a city with nothing to interact with....

Our feline friends don’t show up in video games that often, which seems to be pretty on par with how cats are in real life.

Best Cats in Video Games Red XIII (Final Fantasy VII) Red XIII—real name Nanaki—is amongst the coolest characters that you can have on your team in the original Final Fantasy VII and even appears as a temporary party member in the FFVII Remake....

Unity boss John Riccitiello has apologised for calling developers that don’t prioritise monetisation in the creative process “fucking idiots”. Earlier this week, Riccitiello was slammed for stating that mobile developers who don’t seek to squeeze monetisation from their smartphone games represented only “a very small portion of the gaming industry”, calling them “the most beautiful and pure, brilliant people” that were also “some of the biggest fucking idiots”. After insisting the interview was “clickbait” and “out of context”, Riccitiello has now apologised for his “crude word choice” and said if he had been “smart in choosing [his] words” he would have said that he is “working to provide developers with tools so they can better understand what their players think, and it is up to them to act or not, based on this feedback”....

Update January 13: Capcom has now circulated an official press release confirming there will indeed be a Resident Evil 4D Candle, but that it’s being made in partnership with Numskull. It also doesn’t smell of blood, which is an update we’re okay with. “Contrary to earlier reports that jumped the gun a little, the candle definitely does not smell of blood. However, it does manage to represent the scent of the Baker Mansion, adding to the horror, fear and adrenaline you get whilst playing the game – especially in VR,” said Ben Grant of Numskull....

Since the substantial patch that kicked off Valorant Episode 3 Act 1 and added KAY/O to the hero-based tactical shooter, there haven’t been any major adjustments to abilities or gameplay.
