GDC 2019 will take place in San Francisco from March 18 through the 22nd. The GDC Awards specifically will happen on March 20 at 6:30 PM. If you're at the conference and have a GDC pass, you can attend the show yours

I'm sure to the surprise of few, Rockstar Games' Red Dead Redemption 2 is leading the pack this year with the open-world sim earning 7 different category nominations. Following closely behind is a pair of Sony first-party titles in God of War and Marvel's Spider-Man each of which received 6 nominations each. All three of these aforementioned games are also nominated for the highly-coveted Game of the Year award, with Celeste and Return of the Obra Dinn rounding out the categ

It's the early part of 2019, which means GDC is right around the corner just a few months from now. As such, that also indicates that the GDC Awards are also coming up and as of today, we know which games from the past year have now been nomina

"I played all day and couldn't afford anything decent, " Jim Sterling, a known reviewer, said on his YouTube video . "I ended up spending a lot of the money I was earning on a tin of beans." Four months later, new problems have cropped up, despite the game's economy chugging away like an old-timey steam engine. And the newest update has left players frustra

GameStop is also offering some considerable discounts on Nintendo Switch games . Though a buy-one-get-one-half-off deal may seem stingy when compared to most other sales, Nintendo has maintained a remarkably stringent control over the price of games for their new hybrid console, and fans have often rallied against the so-called "Switch tax" which has caused the console’s games to drop in price so rarely. Still, potentially snagging games like Super Mario Party , Mario Tennis Aces , Breath of the Wild , and Mario Odyssey for $30 may be worth it to Nintendo fans. The Japanese company is also slashing prices on Nintendo Labo kits, though, even at a reduced price, that still won’t appeal to every

Xbox has announced that Project Scarlett, the next-generation Xbox console , will officially be backwards compatible with every generation of Xbox console that has been developed and released to date. The company released a promotional video on Tuesday showcasing its intentions in regards to backwards compatibility on Scarlett and what it means for the future of the br

Once again this year, Double Fine's Tim Schafer has also been announced host the show. Additionally, former Naughty Dog director Amy Hennig is planned to be honored with GDC's Lifetime Achievement award for her past work and contributions to the indus

Spring has sprung, everyone. As PlayStation’s 2018 Black Friday ad may have insinuated, gamers tend to thrive in the less-outdoorsy winter months. That doesn’t mean that the rest of the year can’t provide some equally fruitful game time, though! Major retailers like GameStop and Target are getting into the season by launching a spring sale on which console owners are going to be eager to pou

During the Xbox E3 2019 Briefing, Head of Xbox Phil Spencer revealed that in designing Scarlett, the company wanted the console to be "compatible across all the generations". Clarifying further, Partner Director of Program Management Jason Ronald told Windows Central more about the decisi

In addition, the in-game economy is still fractured, and baked beans are still more valuable than gold rings. Players originally resorted to hunting to pick up the slack, but with the new update, the hunting rewards were slashed in half, from $10 to around $5, likely to force players to spend real money in the game's premium market that includes, reddeadwildland.com among other things, emoticons that will set you back hundreds of dollars in the game's regular cash, or a lot of gold bars. And defending yourself against hostile players nets you your own bounty, making you a prime target to lose all your hard-earned mo

Additionally, prices for major games like Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 and Assassin’s Creed Odyssey will be more than halved, so those with the "wait for a sale" approach to most game releases will want to jump on this opportunity. The corporation is also knocking $30 off of the Ultimate Edition of Red Dead Redemption 2 , which will still be fairly pricey for

Law and Bounty hunters will also need to be considered, as committing crimes will increase the odds of a Bounty Hunter coming after players. Players killed in cold blood will be able to enforce the law with the "Press Charges" function, which in the long run, may help persuade players to treat each other w

"Like we said on stage, we're going to bring four generations of content to Scarlett, including all the games on the Xbox One, we have the 360 and the original Xbox games, and not only do we want those to run, we want them to run and play better than you've ever seen them on Scarlett. All your accessories are compatible moving forward as well. If you go and buy an Elite Wireless Controller or Series Two Controller that will be forward compatible on the Scarle
