It was once understandable when gamers didn’t get what they saw on CD covers of video games. But developers weren’t developing games using Unreal Engine 5 like they are now. Unlike the old times, they can now share the kind of graphics that they can deliver in the game.
Now, gamers don’t judge games based on CD covers. They do it via the trailers they see on the internet. With the industry having advanced today, they believe they’ll get the same product as presented on the screen. That’s a big misunderstanding.
Back in the day, users at least knew that they wouldn’t see the kind of dinosaurs and lush jungles in the game as presented on a Dino Crisis poster. It didn’t hurt when the players saw pixelated environments when they finally played the game, but that’s not the case with the latest generation of games.

X-Men: The Animated Series has a devoted fanbase, but it's not exactly considered a classic on the same level as, say, Batman: The Animated Series.
Regardless, we all had high expectations heading into X-Men '97 and the Marvel Animation series has absolutely smashed them. Perhaps the best take on these heroes we've ever seen grace the screen, Marvel Studios will have its work cut out when it comes to topping the show with its eventual live-action X-Men reboot.
In this feature, we're exploring what's worked so well in X-Men '97 and how that can translate to theaters. In other words, these are the lessons the next X-Men movie needs to learn from the revival, especially after 20th Century Fox's hit-and-miss (mostly miss) efforts.

It’s a bad time for two of the major military shooters, like Battlefield and Call of Duty, but some fans appear to find some silver lining in enjoying them. The latest installments in the Battlefield and Call of Duty series were just two peas in a pod as far as reception is concerned. However, the former appeared to be better in some aspects.
Recently, one video shared on the internet shows Battlefield fans also excels in accuracy, and not just in shooting guns, it seems. Although it has failed to maintain a large user base, the ones still playing are making memories by doing what appears almost impossible. But then, that’s the thing about gamers: they can pull off just about anything there is to pull.
Those Trick Shots Have the Power to Make Any Gamer’s Day Battlefield 2042 doesn’t feature a single-player campaign.

Call of Duty and Battlefield are no Need For Speed games, but the involvement of Electronic Arts with the latter proves why vehicle mechanics are so fluid in Bf games. It’s been a hard time for both the video games as the fans aren’t happy with the franchises’ latest installments. While MW3 could’ve been better but chose to accompany Bf 2042 in its worst time.
Coincidently, both video games are the latest in their respective franchises and deemed by fans as worst, in their respective franchises of course. It wouldn’t be a surprise if fans were surprised to think about what is happening with the major video game franchises right now. Bf really needs a different strategy if they are to outshine CoD in the gaming arena.

It has been a big year for gamers, as plenty of announcements, cancellations, and other news have been made, but news regarding the upcoming Iron Man game and Battlefield has many gamers wondering whether or not EA is on the right tracks with its IPs.
According to a recent report, Motive’s, who were in charge of development for the Mass Effect 2 remake and the upcoming Iron Man title, have now merged with the wider Battlefield development team thanks to a decision from EA, but according to Giant Bomb’s Jeff Grubb, one of these projects may be in trouble.

After successfully bringing back Dead Space from cold storage, it would seem like a no brainer that EA and developer Motive would get to work on a remake of Dead Space 2. However, according to a new rumour, that may not be in the cards.
According to insider Jeff Grubb (who reported on the original remake’s existence prior to its announcement), on his Game Mess Mornings show, Grubb stated that Motive was working on concepts for Dead Space 2, but that work was ultimately shelved due to lackluster sales of the remake. EA Motive has in turn shifted work to Iron Man and Battlefield Universe.
However, per IGN, EA has responded to the rumour, stating that “We don’t normally comment on rumors but there is no validity to this story.”
Adding a twist to all of this is that EA hasn’t actually reported the sales numbers for the Dead Space remake.

EA recently announced that developer Motive Studio will be assisting in the development of the Battlefield franchise while continuing their work on an upcoming Iron Man game. Fans of that studio quickly realized that many of the people involved with Motive’s critically acclaimed 2023 Dead Space remake are now seemingly working on at least one of those two other projects. Yet, EA made no mention of the Dead Space 2 remake that Motive was reportedly supposed to be working on. That notable lack of information caused Dead Space fans to fear the worst.
Now, Jeff Grubb is reporting that Motive has essentially shelved their previously planned Dead Space 2 remake for a reason that has long haunted the Dead Space franchise like so many Necromorphs: disappointing sales.
“They were working on Dead Space 2, and they are no longer working on it,” said Grubb during a recent podcast regarding Motive’s upcoming projects.

Update: A spokesperson from EA told IGN that the rumor about Dead Space 2 remake being cancelled isn’t true, because the project wasn’t in development in the first place. They said,
“We don’t normally comment on rumors but there is no validity to this story.”
In light of this new information, it’s safe to say that a Dead Space 2 remake might still be a possibility.
Original Story: Dead Space fans might be in for disappointment, as the word on the street is that EA has cancelled the Dead Space 2 remake. This intel was offered by renowned insider Jeff Grub during an episode of the Game Mess Mornings podcast.
According to Grub, the underwhelming sales of the first remake is the reason Dead Space 2 was shelved. The Dead Space remake, released in 2023, was welcomed by fans and critics alike, but the sales were slow. The game eventually sold over a million copies,...

Battlefield 2042 development team has just announced that the seventh season of the game will be its last. The update was shared in an official blog post by the General Manager of Battlefield franchise, Byron Beede.
Acknowledging that this decision may disappoint fans, Byron Beede explained,
“…as we looked at what the future of the series required, it became clear it was time for us to shift our resources and focus to be fully dedicated to what comes next.”
Turning Point, the latest Battlefield 2042 season, was released just last month and received a mix response from the community. While the update did bring a few notable additions (with more to come in the near future), ardent Battlefield fans remained unimpressed.
This may have triggered EA to pull the plug on season 8 of Battlefield 2042. However, it’s a slow pull. While the game won’t get a new season, it will continue to receive fresh content.

New footage of upcoming Gray Zone Warfare developed by Madfinger Games is out and while it’s still raw gameplay, it will remind the players of some popular shooter titles available now. For a developmental stage, the game looks promising as graphics are eye-catching given it is built using Unreal Engine 5. But for the gameplay mechanics, there is much work to be done if it is entering the same arena as Escape From Tarkov and Call of Duty.
Though there’s no official release date for the game, it is likely to come this year only according to the details on its Steam page. For now, it appears like a cakewalk as far as enemies are concerned but the team has said they’ll incorporate some AI-based behavior which may make the game more challenging.

“Did Call of Duty give up on itself?”: Dr Disrespect is at Breaking Point with Call of Duty: Warzone
Call of Duty is one of the most popular multiplayer shooter franchises in the gaming industry. Apart from having a number of games on their roster, they also have a thriving community of players and streamers who drive the game’s popularity day in and day out.
But of late, players have been far from happy with the way things are panning out for the franchise. With the added emphasis on the battle royale mode, veteran players feel that multi-player, the original popular mode, is taking a backseat for the developers. The latest to voice their displeasure has been Dr Disrespect who took to X to ask his fans and followers whether Call of Duty has given up on itself.

Some video games are released without any competition at all. Even if they have some kind of competition, it’s hard for them to match the success that comes with this franchise of first-person shooters. Fans literally wait for the next game, even though this series is a yearly franchise, and Activision produces a brand-new game every year. The quality of its multiplayer mode and the fun time that it provides always end up attracting gamers to it.
But in recent times, Call of Duty games have started changing a bit. For one, they have really started taking their chances with its single-player story mode. On the other hand, for fans, the amount of content that is released with the base game has seen some decline. Now, it looks like one of Call of Duty’s biggest and most popular supporters has spoken up, too.

Ubisoft dearly wants to send the next Ghost Recon game to a path of success, at least that is what a recent leaks suggest. The latest game in the series wasn’t a disaster but it wasn’t a critical success either. Breakpoint was released in 2019 which failed to meet the company’s sales expectations, making it a commercial disappointment.
Though Jon Bernthal was hired to make the game more lively as the team felt a need to include a charismatic villain, the game failed despite the addition of the Fury actor. The story picks up the narrative following the events of Future Soldier and Nomad returns as the lead character from the previous game.

Everyone is aware of how talented director Steven Spielberg is, however, not many people know that the director is equally influential in the gaming industry. In 1999, the director created and served as a producer for a first-person shooter video game, Medal of Honor, which was developed by DreamWorks Interactive and published by Electronic Arts.
Medal of Honor: Above and Beyond
The Medal of Honor franchise was quite popular in the 2000s, however, the competition from franchises like Call of Duty and Battlefield slowed it down. In 2020, the franchise made a strong comeback with Medal of Honor: Above and Beyond. It was certainly a remarkable game as it became the only video game to win an Oscar. The game includes the short documentary Colette, which won the Academy Award for Best Documentary Short Subject at the 93rd Academy Awards.

Call of Duty and Battlefield are two of the biggest names when it comes to online multiplayer Fps games. However, while Call of Duty is growing even today by adding new games to the franchise, Battlefield has hit a bit of a roadblock. The last installment of the latter was released back in 2021, Battlefield 2042, and was met with a lukewarm welcome by the community. Fans who are now eagerly awaiting a new Battlefield game will be waiting quite a bit longer as a studio closure leaves the game’s future in limbo.
EA Announces Closure of Ridgeline Games The new single-player Battlefield project will now be handled by Criterion Games.
The information comes from Andy Robinson on X, who tweeted out saying EA has closed Ridgeline Games, the studio handling a future Battlefield single-player game. This title was supposedly going to be a counterpart to Battlefield 2042, which was designed exclusively for online play.

Apex Legends developer Respawn has had its Star Wars first-person shooter cancelled, as publisher EA makes huge job cuts across its studios.
If anything, 2024 is beginning to look like an even more depressing year for the videogame industry, as the number of job losses continues.
Electronic Arts is the latest company to announce major cuts, with the publishing giant stating that it’s to cut some 670 roles – equating to roughly five percent of its staff.
Numerous studios and projects have been affected by these cuts. Among them is Respawn Entertainment, which was working on a first-person shooter set in the Star Wars universe. According to Vgc, that project has been cancelled – it’s not clear whether this was the Mandalorian title rumoured a matter of weeks ago, or something separate.
Given just how well-received Respawn’s other games have been though – not least the Star Wars Jedi titles – the cancellation is particularly surprising.

Call of Duty and Battlefield have been going head-to-head for nearly two decades, but CoD has had the edge for a long time, despite both franchises exploring similar kinds of conflicts. The last game in the franchise, Battlefield 2042, wasn’t really successful with a mixed response.
There are several projects currently in development focusing on a brand-new Battlefield universe, and it is now reported that the next game in the franchise that will be coming in 2025 will have a free-to-play Battle Royale mode similar to Call of Duty‘s popular Warzone.

Rai Cinema Launches Standalone Film Sales Unit at EFM With Lineup Toplined by Berlin Title ‘Gloria!’
Italian state broadcaster Rai’s Rai Cinema film arm is launching a new standalone film sales unit at the European Film Market.
The nascent sales company — which is called Rai Cinema International Distribution — aims to fill a gap within Rai’s content sales force given that Rai’s existing Rai Com sales unit is “mostly dedicated to TV product,” said Rai Cinema CEO Paolo Del Brocco.
It will also provide a new international distribution outlet to Italian cinema often sold by French outfits such as Newen Connect, which is the international distributor for Berlinale competition title “Another End” by Italy’s Piero Messina and starring Gael Garcia Bernal.
Rai Cinema, which invests up to €80 million ($85 million) a year in production, is the main driver of Italian indie cinema, with a hand in roughly 60 feature films a year. But Del Brocco underlined that they have no intention of imposing themselves as...

Yes, the BBC is finally preparing to do what we have wanted them to do all along and drop 800 episodes of Doctor Who plus extras onto iPlayer, where anyone in the UK with a TV licence can see them at any time.
And now it’s your job to watch them all. The question is, in what order should you watch them? Well, there are several options, depending on just how much damage you want to do to your brain when you attempt this.

What is the point of a video game expansion? Too often, the point is to make some extra money without having to make an entirely new game. That’s not necessarily a sin, but the worst video game Dlc expansions too often showcase the worst of gaming. Yet, the best video game Dlc expansions show all the things that concept should be.
The best Dlc expansions do more than give us an excuse to dive back into the games we already own. They revive, reinvigorate, and, in some cases, even redeem their base experiences. We all benefit from learning from our best and worst moments. Well, that’s also what the greatest expansions do. They benefit from the knowledge of seeing what came before and realizing how much more there still is to do.
Before we talk about the greatest video game Dlc expansions, though, please note that this list...

When Ahsoka Tano was first introduced, she served as our eyes and ears in the "Star Wars" universe, the audience surrogate for this new chapter of the story, like Luke before her, or like Ezra Bridger in "Star Wars Rebels" and Rey in the new trilogy. Just as audiences grew up watching the show, they watched Ahsoka grow up before their eyes, going from hotheaded Padawan to one of the most powerful and wise Jedi ever.
It makes sense, then, that she would finally get her own TV show with the eponymous "Ahsoka," as Dave Filoni takes the character he co-created and brings her to the foreground in yet another galactic conflict. The show has been walking a fine line between being a standalone story and a continuation of several stories. There's the Mando-Verse story of the slow rise of the Imperial Remnant, but also the pay-off to the finale...

Darkest Dungeon 2 is all about making the most out of a bad situation. Defeat isn’t inevitable, but it’s certainly likely. The best heroes in the game can help you survive some otherwise impossible situations, but your foolish hopes of victory demand the best team comps.
Darkest Dungeon 2‘s versatile team-building system allows you to explore so many possibilities. Some parties have obvious synergies (and even special team names), but there are so many ways to make a viable team. As such, it’s nearly impossible to identify the absolute best team possibilities so early into the game’s lifespan. Of course, that is something that we’re at least going to try to do as more of the game is explored and “solved.”
For now, though, let’s take a look at some of the best available comps for the very start of the game, the mid-game, and the late-game.

The surprise release of Halo Infinite‘s multiplayer hasn’t only stolen a lot of the spotlight that we thought was going to go to Call of Duty: Vanguard and Battlefield 2042 but has seemingly thrown a wrench into the idea that a modern multiplayer shooter needs a battle royale mode to truly make an impact.
It’s impossible to deny the significance and popularity of battle royale games in recent years, but we’re getting to this point where the cries for something different just keep getting a little louder. The problem is that some of the genre’s biggest names (such as Call of Duty and Battlefield) are struggling to find out what that alternative looks like in the modern age while intriguing indie experiences (like the Halo-esque Splitgate) just don’t have the resources to compete and really push their vision as quickly or as far as Triple-a titles can.

EA Play streamed earlier this week and with it came the official announcement and reveal of a brand new game mode called Battlefield Portal. Remember when EA said that there were going to be more announcements in July regarding Battlefield 2042? Yeah, this is that.

Some Doctor Who characters are intended for greatness; some are intended to be killed off at the end of their first episode. Writers have a lot more control over the second than the first. What remains true for all characters, is the tension that exists between their function in the story and their potential to affect it. Even a guard who simply runs into a room to get shot could have dragged the story in another direction, should they be allowed (this stock background character was the inspiration for Terry Pratchett’s City Watch novels).
Successful one-off characters aren’t necessarily those who break away from their function,, but those who make a story soar to another level entirely. More often, what makes them work is when their function in the story is disguised. There are plenty of ways to do this and most of them intersect: casting, costume, dialogue,...

Activision has revealed the first official details for Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War‘s multiplayer, which will attempt to combine some of the best elements of previous Call of Duty games while incorporating some intriguing new elements.
One of the biggest surprises of the reveal was Treyarch and Raven Software’s insistence that they intend to incorporate a narrative into the multiplayer experience. Said narrative will be featured in everything from the equipment multiplayer operatives use to the levels themselves and the objectives you complete. Timeline-wise, the multiplayer will take place in the ’80s, but it will be set years after the game’s campaign.
So far as individual modes go, Cold War will revive the franchise’s standard play options while introducing new concepts such as 6v6 VIP Escort operations, 12v12 Combined Arms skirmishes, and a new 40-player, Fireteam mode. That last one is especially interesting as...

Generally speaking, gamers who choose to go online and play with or against other like-minded individuals behave as they would in real life – with good manners and respect. As inevitably as day turns to night, however, there will be times when you encounter immature adults or unsupervised kids that somehow know curse words you’ve never heard of and are all too happy to oblige you with their recital.
There are myriad reasons that such unsavory types choose to use the internet as an outlet for their anger, of course, and how each unleashes that frustration can vary wildly from one person to another. According to one recent study, in fact, the habits of so-called “Angry Gamers” makes for some interesting statistical reading.

EA may have to reconsider its stance on Star Wars Battlefront II.
Earlier this year, Dice confirmed in a lengthy blog post that it would no longer be providing content updates for its multiplayer shooter set in a Galaxy Far, Far Away and would be moving on to pursue new projects, most notably the next installment of Battlefield. For all intents and purposes, then, both publisher and developer consider the sequel to be a done deal, complete with all the content a Star Wars fan could hope for.
That, it seems, couldn’t be further from the truth, though. For those that don’t recall, Change.org user Christen Adler started a petition three months ago aimed at getting EA to reverse its aforementioned decision and continue pumping out updates for Battlefront II.

Crucible developer Relentless Studios has announced that they will be removing two of the game’s three playable modes a mere three weeks after the game’s launch.
“Moving forward, we’ll be putting all of our efforts towards Heart of the Hives and what we can do to make that mode shine,” reads a statement from Relentless Studios. “Focusing on one mode allows us to refine the design of core systems without the compromises we needed to make to support three game modes. This does mean that we’ll be retiring Harvester Command and Alpha Hunters for the foreseeable future. We’ll be removing Alpha Hunters from the list of game modes soon, and Harvester Command once our new player experience has been improved.”
The Crucible team goes on to state that their long-term plan involves improving and refining the Heart of the Hives mode through various technical fixes and content updates.

It’s rare for someone to like all of Doctor Who. A fan may find some of it to have the occasional redeeming feature, but just doesn’t find it entertaining as a whole. On occasion, a run of stories isn’t what they want from Doctor Who. Fortunately the show has a solution to this: Doctor Who changes.
This has been said often enough that it feels like background noise but it’s worth stressing. Different people have made Doctor Who up as they went along, responding to different contexts as best they can. It’s unlikely you’re going to enjoy all of it, but on the bright side, the show always has been and will be different.
Depending on the role played by the BBC, the transition between production teams can be uneven. The change from producer Philip Hinchcliffe to Graham Williams in 1977 wasn’t helped by...

In a statement to IGN, an EA representative confirms that developer Dice intends to release a Battlefield sequel sometime in 2021.
“Longer term, the studio is focused on the future of Battlefield that we’ll be bringing to players in 2021,” reads the final part of a statement from EA regarding Dice’s plans moving forward.
Previously, EA had suggested that Battlefield could be released as late as 2022, but it seems that EA and Dice are now anticipating the release of the next Battlefield game sometime during the next year.
There are a few points of interest to note about that confirmation, and the first concerns the Star Wars Battlefront series. After a historically bad launch, Star Wars Battlefront 2 managed to turn the corner and become not only a successful game but one that is genuinely beloved by the many who still play it.
