The Call of Duty series has come a long way from 2003 to the present. A lot has changed in it throughout its existence: things like graphics or multiplatform availability in the recent games are way better now than in the first ones. It is hard to imagine how the Call of Duty developers can surprise their fans, but the latest update for Call of Duty: Warzone, if not surprised, then certainly pleased them. An improvement called Season 3 Reloaded brought new sexy heroes, multiplayer maps, new weapons, and bug fixes.  New heroes John Rambo and McClane, which came from famous action flicks, were probably the most anticipated element of the expansion. All gamers agreed that the Verdansk map modifications should also be included with the cinematic characters, which will include easily recognizable locations from Die Hard and Rambo.  Raven Software has made a fan's dream come true by adding Nakatomi Plaza(the main location of "Die Hard" movie) to the central...

The computer game Back 4 Blood, which is under development, will combine two genres at once - first-person shooter and survival horror. Left 4 Dead became a spiritual mentor for the new game. Back in the day, it managed to win the hearts of users of three platforms at once, thanks to its gloomy atmosphere of horror and despair. The plot was quite traditional - the survivors are fighting against those infected with a very dangerous virus. Despite the triviality of this kind of gameplay, the game still found itself a lot of fans. Turtle Rock Studios has decided to freshen up its product a bit by releasing a new game on October 12th. So, today the company is working on a new Back 4 Blood. The game has a plot similar to the previous installments of the franchise, but its events are set later on the apocalypse timeline. When creating a new product, the developers paid attention to the zombies themselves - believe me, they look way cooler than the monsters from the pred...

Chivalry 2 is a first-person game inspired by the Middle Ages. When creating the main elements of the slasher, the developers were inspired by high-quality films that recreated the events of the famous era. The first part of Chivalry initially was not even an independent game, and yet it managed to impress many players. The lovers of such genres and fans of films about the Middle Ages are looking forward to the release of the sequel, which is already a work in progress. Confirmation of these claims is the release of the free beta version, which will be available from May 27. Those gamers who are already itching to play a new game will be glad to hear that testing is completely open for the public. This way, you can enjoy both the gameplay, which includes bloody battles, and the continuation of the plot about the kingdom of Agatha.

Resident Evil has become Capcom's most influential media franchise and one of the most popular game series worldwide. The RE universe has existed for more than 25 years despite all the criticism, which ranged from total rejection to late recognition. The game has become so popular that it has already been adapted into films several times. The movies have got mixed reception. However, Netflix decided to repeat this experiment, but in a new way. The company announced work on the Resident Evil-themed anime project back in October 2020. But fans have got the release date and a trailer of the anime only a short while ago. Now you just need to wait for July 8th to enjoy the new anime series about your favorite game. The Netflix platform has revealed the plot of the animated series to the public, saying that it will not repeat the story of any part of the game but will create a new one. The events of the series are set in 2006 in the White House, struck by an unk...

The Red Storm team announced the release of a new free shooter called The Division Heartland at the very beginning of the month. Beta tests have just started. Traditionally, people approved for the role of testers signed a non-disclosure agreement, which prevents you from revealing information about the game. Despite this, the video of gameplay appeared on the Internet. Ubisoft quickly dealt with the leak by removing the videos from Vimeo, but the users were faster. At the moment, low-quality footage is spreading on the web, especially inside gaming communities, at the speed of light. Before this event, players knew very little about the announced game. For this reason, someone was not interested in it, while someone was waiting for the release to experience something new. But thanks to the leak, users will be able to become more familiar with the game and its highlights even now. We know now that the game might appeal to fans of third-person shooters. It...

Apex Legends has conquered the Windows, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One platforms in less than 2 years. It is not strange, because the game has become a new flagman in the genre of heroic first-person shooters. However, there is nothing perfect in the world, and Apex Legends is no exception. The gamer's engagement with the new game was at its peak right after the release, but the excitement began to fade away very quickly. Users explained the loss of their interest by the fact that the game stood still and did not provide anything new and unusual. Respawn Entertainment took notes from such comments, promising to fix the problems. Indeed, updates began to appear more frequently in Apex Legends shortly thereafter. But still, some things went not as smoothly as everybody expected. Bugs began to appear along with additions, updates, improvements. Some of them made gamers hate the game, while others offered shortcuts to victory. An example of the latter would be the "ghost...

Layers of Fear is a psychological first-person horror game made by the Bloober Team, that follows a story of a mentally unstable artist eager to complete his masterpiece. This computer game was released in 2016, and it has gathered some fans after five years of its existence. It is not strange that the developers decided to release a sequel sometime afterward, namely in 2019 on the PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC. Initially, gamers could enjoy the first version of the horror on Microsoft Windows, macOS, PlayStation 4, Xbox One platforms, but it appeared on Nintendo Switchonly 2 years later. Probably to create the "tradition", the release of the second part on Nintendo will also happen two years after the main release – on May 20, 2021. Layers of Fear 2 has a different storyline from the first version and is not a direct sequel. It is a game that has preserved the soul of the original but has a completely different meaning. Bloober decided to build a new story arou...

For many people, video games are an opportunity to do something that is not available to them in the real world. Someone likes to fly on military planes, while the others fight monsters in a fantasy setting. Some gamers enjoy breaking laws in the virtual world, like stealing cars in GTA. But Reddit user jaeinskyrim broke all records of immorality and lawlessness - they destroyed all living things in The Elder Scrolls: Skyrim. In their subreddit, the player reports that the difficult path of mass genocide took them about a month. During this time, they systematically killed all living things on the continent of Skyrim - from harmless animals to important plot characters. Normally, you cannot harm the latter, but with the help of several mods, the gamer got rid of the restriction. Thus, Jae “removed” almost 5 thousand creatures from the game. But it's worth noting that some NPCs managed to escape. For example, the dragon Paarthurnax survived because the play...

Fans of Nier: Automata have been waiting for 4 years to improve the textures of their favorite game, which takes place on our planet, that is conquered by warrior-robots. The indirect sequel to NIER that was released in 2017 has gained considerable popularity among gamers of different platforms. However, the game initially had some drawbacks, including excessive blurring. GPUnity modder’s work on improving textures began almost simultaneously with the game release. His goal was not a global change in graphics with the destruction of the author's idea, but a simple improvement of textures, at least in places where they had absolutely low resolution. According to the author of the HD texture pack, he tried to change only the elements that spoiled the overall impression of the game and were a fly in the ointment. In order to eliminate this nuisance, the modder added about 300 new textures, including some fonts changes. Now that such a long work on Nier: Automa...

Konrad Tomaszkiewicz, previously known as the game director of The Witcher 3, left his post after being accused of inappropriate treatment of subordinates and creating a bad working environment. Tomashkevich himself denied these claims. Moreover, after a lengthy internal investigation into the harassment, he was found not guilty. Despite this, Konrad still left the company after more than seventeen years of fruitful work within it. It is worth noting that Konrad Tomashkevich's track record is quite impressive. As part of CD Projekt Red, he went from a junior tester to game director and co-director of production for Cyberpunk 2077. Even though Tomashkevich does not admit his guilt, he still wrote a letter of apology to all employees who experienced discomfort while working with him. The former director explains that he does not want to create a tense environment that can offend or humiliate someone and in any way affect the work process....

Back in February of this year, Blizzard announced the World of Warcraft update called "The Burning Crusade Classic." This version of the original expansion from 2007 has become the most anticipated event for fans of the game. However, the announcement did not mention when exactly we were going to get a new add-on. However, there was an information leak due to a Blizzard mistake yesterday, on the night of May 4th. The company accidentally published the release date of the update, which probably falls at the beginning of summer - on June 1. The developers instantly realized their mistake and almost immediately deleted the publication. But this did not stop the most avid WoW fans from taking screenshots and posting them online. The publication was available on the Battle.net portal for a very short time. However, the small number of users who were lucky enough to see it did not manage to get directly into the post itself. This fact caused suspicions that the publicat...

Video games are part of commerce, so as in any industry fans manage to get the cheese out of a mousetrap without being harmed. It is not clear what motivates people chasing freebies - whether ardor or the desire for money for jam. However, whatever the motive, they often achieve what they want. That is what happened to Resident Evil fans. The release date for the full version of Resident Evil Village is May 7. This is the eighth game in the series, which is traditionally performed in the Survival Horror genre. The announcement of this entertainment was presented almost a year ago - on June 11, 2020. It is not surprising that gamers were eagerly awaiting the release of at least a demo version of the game. In addition, the developers constantly fueled their impatience with news and reviews, using all the media possibilities. Without having time to enjoy the demo, gamers found a way to extend it until May 10, and to remove the time limit of one hour. This goal was re...

Epic Games continues to expand the range of available Fortnite skins. Yesterday the company announced Neymar Jr., one of the most famous football players on the planet, coming into the battle royale. This Brazilian athlete currently plays for the Paris Saint-Germain F. C. According to a recent Twitter post, the Neymar skin will be playable starting today for all users with the Battle Pass. In addition to the skin itself, Fortnite will add a themed set of different emote and items. All this can be obtained after completing a series of thematic quests. “Shhh. Emote” is probably the most intriguing one because it transforms the skin into futuristic armor with the Brazilian flag colors. We do not know yet whether this transformation affects the player's combat characteristics. It is worth noting that Epic Games has previously added sports-themed items to the game. These include the "Air Punch" emote in Pele's fashion and skins resembling various sports clubs’ u...

Everyone already knows that Days Gone fans launched a petition on Change.org, which was able to take the lead in terms of the number of signatures on the platform. This is a testament to the game's appeal to thousands of gamers, who are eager to see Sony Interactive Entertainment approve the next installment. Even Jeff Ross, who is the director of the project, supported the petition. He gave his vote and encouraged everyone to follow his example. But what is the response from the writers to such an impressive request from the Days Gone fans? To put it mildly, the authors were not moved. On the contrary, they think the gamers themselves caused absence of the second part purchasing first one at a discount. On this occasion, the creative director of the game, John Garvin, gave an interview in which he frankly admitted that he was somewhat enraged by lovers of freebies. John is annoyed that gamers do not understand how the gaming business segment works. He beli...

Research firm SensorTower has released a list of the top games for March 2021 by user downloads. Join Clash 3D has taken the lead with 27.6 million downloads, and the fun new runner game Crash Bandicoot: On the Run is almost going shoulder to shoulder with 27 million downloads! There were about 8 million downloads only on the first day! However, if you take into account the fact that it was only released at the end of March 2021, it can be called the absolute leader! Interesting fact that the usual for the runner gameplay is diluted with a plot, which the developers added manually. Besides, in the finals of some levels, you can even fight with bosses. Traditionally, Doctor Neo Cortex plays the role of the super-villain, burning with an unhealthy desire to take over the universe. By controlling Crash and his sister Coco, you can stop him! Crash Bandicoot: On the Run provides the opportunity to have fun with friends. The Coronavi...

A neurotech company has shared with the public a video of a monkey playing an arcade video game. How do you like that, Elon Musk? In this case, Musk commended the experiment, since it was conducted by his own company, Neuralink. A primate named Pager can play arcade games using the mind power. This has been achieved thanks to a wireless chip embedded in his brain. The process itself can be seen in the official video posted on the Neuralink YouTube channel. The company mentions that the path to mastering the game by a monkey was not that long. The chip was implemented six weeks before the video you just watched was filmed. At first, nine-year-old Pager learned to control his racket with a joystick, receiving a banana smoothie for his small successes. Meanwhile, the implanted chip read and analyzed his brain activity to predict the possible macaque actions in the future. And so it happened! By disabling the joystick, the monkey w...

Yesterday, the gaming community was triggered by a Bloomberg article according to which the famous Polish video game developer CD Projekt Red is using crunch to finish all work on the upcoming Cyberpunk 2077 game before November 19, the day of its release. Crunch is a term in the gaming industry that implies the forced introduction of overtime hours for staff to finish the work in some specific time frame, most often the deadline for a game to enter the market. Crunch is mainly used by studios in the final stages of development and is caused by poor planning of the development process and mistakes in management. According to Bloomberg's anonymous source, CD Projekt Red also introduced a six working days per week before release, and some employees have been working overtime for over a year. In the case of CD Projekt Red, everything is worsened by the fact that this isn't the first case of crunch in their history - earlier the same scandal arose during the another h...

There were two high-profile events yesterday related to Call of Duty: Warzone, a battle royale shooter from Activision. As expected, the new sixth season of the game started on September 29, in which players will have access to 4 new maps, 2 operatives (Farah and Nikolai), as well as a vehicle battle mode, metro, and much more. But the unexpected thing was the delivery of more than 20 thousand bans to players who used cheats. Activision didn't reveal the details of the cheat used, but the EngineOwning online service is probably to blame, specializing in the development and paid provision of cheats for most modern online games, including Battlefield V, Titanfall 2, and most of Call of Duty. The Modern Warfare 2019 and Warzone page on the site now states that the corresponding cheat has been discovered by a developer and is no longer safe to use. Also, immediately after the massive purge, the EngineOwning forum just exploded with outraged fans who spent money cheating for...

Mojang is actively developing Minecraft, its flagship product, and one of the most popular games in the world. The developers are working on several possible new NPCs to further enrich the game world. The interesting thing is that the players themselves will choose which of the mobs will get to the official release. The decision will be made using a vote on the game's official Twitter account during the Minecraft Live online conference on October 3. Mojang has introduced three new creatures: Mobloom - a mob that looks like a cross between a cow and a bee - a yellow cow with bee wings behind her back, which can contact insects. Of course, the appearance of the mob immediately tells us that Mobloom won’t be aggressive to the player.Iceologer - this creature coming from Minecraft Dungeons is a hostile mob that, when seen by a player, will release ice clouds in his direction. Iceologer's possible habitat is a mountain biome, which will complicate its already difficult pas...
