We still don't know if these prices are strictly making an appearance for Black Friday this year. If these promotions are hints of the kind of pricing we can expect in 2019, I still cannot recommend people pay a premium a couple hundred more dollars for 4K consoles, especially as more signs indicate that we're nearing the tail-end of this generation , with new hardware (or at the very least announcements) on the horiz

The character’s unfortunate real-life namesake (who doesn’t even own an Xbox One or PS4) has been the subject of all manner of threats, snark, snarky threats, and threatening snark, mostly on Instagram, all because he bears the name of the notorious cow

There are currently 600 titles that are backwards compatible with the Xbox One console from both the Xbox 360 and original Xbox, however the company announced that every single title released on the Xbox One platform will be backwards compatible on Scarlett. In the video, it failed to go into details on what Xbox and Xbox 360 titles would be available on backwards compatibility in the next-generation. Fans are still eager to find out if all games or a limited amount of games will be included in Scarlett's backwards compatibility features, but it seems that the company are not revealing any of those details as of

Spoils of War is a team-based mode for up to sixteen players (just two can play, but that’s far less dramatic). While wild west-style gunfights are always fun and dramatic, the action here is a little more cerebral than your average straightforward deathma

Let’s say you forego jumping into the fray. Maybe you’re more effective as a lone-wolf who is patient enough to wait out the initial chaos. Plunder’s maps are large enough to avoid confrontation while offering up plenty of crates, rocks, trees, and cliffs to use as cover before making your move. Skirting the invisible border is also a solid way to move (slowly) around the map en route to your rivals’ bases. However, keep in mind that players often respawn between the map’s border and their base, which could result in you getting caught while you’re sneaking around. Additionally, running out of bounds while carrying supplies, even for a split second, will result in the bag being reset in the center of the map (which happened to us more times than we would like to admit). If you’re patient, bases with only one or two delivered supplies remain relatively unguarded, allowing you to swoop in, steal the supplies, and run as fast as you can back to your own base, since your position on the map will be visible to everyone while holding the l

Why not jump on board and give it a shot? All this week, winning a game netted the player eight dynamite arrows, and Rockstar was running a 20% bonus XP event, too. If you missed out, stick around for the next rew

After a two year wait that seemed much longer, Rockstar’s latest open world epic hit consoles last week and has received near unanimous praise for its incredible attention to detail, polished gunplay and a massive landscape that reacts in consistently surprising ways. While most players are still waist-deep in the lengthy singleplayer campaign, the developer is hard at work on Red Dead Redemption 2’s Online mode , which has plenty of promise thanks to the solid foundation laid by the core game. While this is far from Rockstar’s first foray into multiplayer gaming, Grand Theft Auto V’s online component has grown to become one of the most prominent open world multiplayer titles out there, even encouraging the studio to incorporate ideas from its planned single player DLC into GTA Online to continue the mode’s growing momentum. It wasn’t all positive for GTA Online at launch, however, as the world felt shockingly devoid of things to do despite the increased number of players. As Red Dead Online lingers on the horizon, there are several lessons the upcoming multiplayer frontier can capitalize on from GTA Online to help the experience reach its full potential.

Because of Xbox setting its sights at the future of backwards compatibility, it will no longer be adding Xbox 360 and original Xbox titles to the backwards compatibility program from next week onwards. The final games to be added to the library before Xbox focuses on Scarlett full-time will be Armed and Dangerous, Indiana Jones and the Emperor’s Tomb, Sphinx and the Cursed Mummy, classic titles from the Splinter Cell series such as Chaos Theory and Double Agent aswell as Unreal Championship 2: The Liandri Conflict. According to the company, "you can now play the entire Splinter Cell franchise on Xbox O

To say that GTA Online was lacking missions at launch would be incorrect, as there was a decent number of relatively brief errands to complete that featured several key side characters from the GTA V campaign. These missions felt barebones, however, not only from a gameplay perspective, but in how these tasks attempted to immerse players in the world of Los Santos, an objective which the single player campaign completed with ease. It wasn’t until years later that Rockstar would add some much-needed context as click through the following web site missions became more crucial and complex, employing the usage of cutscenes and well-written conversations that helped these events become more relevant, and as a result, replayable. Regardless of how many missions Red Dead Online has at launch, making sure the vast majority of them feel like they affect the in-game world on a small or large scale will help ensure that one of this year’s biggest multiplayer releases gets started off on the right foot and keeps players coming back.
