Call of Duty dataminers are doing their thing yet again, this time unearthing what looks like evidence of an unannounced Deadpool & Wolverine crossover coming to Modern Warfare 3 and Warzone.
Dataminers have a long history of discovering files that reveal unannounced content for Activision’s first-person shooter behemoth. The recent Fallout, Gundam, and Warhammer 40,000 crossovers were all datamined ahead of release. There’s even evidence to suggest a The Crow crossover is coming to Call of Duty to coincide with the upcoming The Crow movie reboot starring Bill Skarsgard.
Now, dataminer ‘crashfty‘ has shared brief video clips showing what looks like finishing moves inspired by Ryan Reynolds’ depiction of Deadpool. We see a soldier...

Elden Ring’s immensely popular Seamless Co-op mod is back in a usable state for both the base game and the Shadow of the Erdtree DLC, having been significantly re-written to account for changes made to the 2022 hit RPG by the new content.
"While not perfect, it has reached a state where it can be used to play Elden Ring and the DLC in co-op,” said Dalvik, a moderator for the unofficial addon's dedicated Discord server, while speaking on behalf of the mod’s creator Luke Yui earlier this week, as spotted by PC Gamer.
As its name suggests, the Seamless Co-op mod dramatically overhauls Elden Ring’s objective-based co-op experience, allowing players to experience the base game — and now the Shadow of the Erdtree DLC — from beginning to...
The Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 open beta is canceled so the development team can focus on getting the game ready for launch.
Developer Saber Interactive and publisher Focus Entertainment announced the change of plan in a post on the Space Marine 2 Steam page, and offered a limited Bolt Pistol skin to those who’d registered as an apology gift.
"We know this is disappointing news for some of you.
“Over the past few weeks, we have seen incredible excitement around the game, both online and at the shows during the North American tour,” Saber said. “Our teams at Focus and Saber have been truly blown away by your passion, and we’ve loved seeing the fan art, reactions and memes that you have shared so far.
“Space Marine 2 is almost...
Hot on the heels of the release of DLC Shadow of the Erdtree, George R. R. Martin has teased an Elden Ring movie or TV show.
In a post on his blog, the Game of Thrones author wrote about winning awards, and in doing so strongly suggested an adaptation of FromSoftware’s masterpiece is indeed in the works.
“Oh, and about those rumors you may have heard about a feature film or television series based on Elden Ring… I have nothing to say,” he said. “Not a word, nope, not a thing, I know nothing, you never heard a peep from me, mum mum mum. What rumor?”
I know nothing, you never heard a peep from me, mum mum mum.
As George R. R. Martin stated in the blog post, the famed fantasy author “did the worldbuilding” for Elden Ring, whereas...
We're one week shy of a school holiday period, so it's time to get ready. Yep, that means shaking some trees to find the most nutso game bargains, then squirreling them away to be devoured at your leisure later—possibly sans pants and pizza equipped. I've found a bunch of slightly older things inching from 75 to 95% off. If you prefer to stay ultra-modern, I also have the hottest deals on the latest stuff too!
In retro news, I'm celebrating the 37th birthday of a true great, Super Mario Bros. on the Nintendo Entertainment System. I vividly recall being blown away by my first life-for-life playthrough of this at a mate's place. Every stage we conquered in the "back 4" worlds of this save-less odyssey felt like a murder gauntlet...

At gamescom latam 2024, we had the chance to check out some brand-new gameplay firsthand of Dragon Ball: Sparking! Zero, and it included a look at such newly announced characters in action like Mr. Satan and Future Trunks as well as a glimpse of the story mode.

In our new look, which you can see below, we get to see more of the Battle Mode that lets you practice against CPU or jump online to take on...
The Legacy of Kain series maintains a rabid fan following, even though it's been a long time since there's been a new game. More than two decades, in fact. But there's a new ray of light on the Nosgoth horizon in the form of a graphic novel called Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver – The Dead Shall Rise.
As the first new Legacy of Kain content since 2003's Legacy of Kain: Defiance, The Dead Shall Rise serves as a prequel to the Soul Reaver games. The book flashes back to Raziel's human past as a Sarafan warrior and reveals how he came to be a vampire serving under Kain. The goal is to answer some long-running questions about the Legacy of Kain/Soul Reaver mythos while also introducing a major new vampire character with close ties to both...
Right off the starter grid, I must admit I was sceptical during the unboxing process of this Moza racing setup. You see, I was first drawn to the R12 Wheel Base, the CRP Pedals, and the GS V2P GT Wheel for three reasons—Moza's sterling reputation, the fact that it was a GT3/F1 configuration not offered by my current wheel, and because I’m a fiend for greater force feedback. The latter didn’t seem probable here, despite Moza's superior FF numbers.
I’m very much a simmer who feels the need to feel the speed. My current workhorse, a Logitech G Pro Racing Wheel, is no slouch in the FF department with its not-unimpressive 11Nm of torque. That said, the R12’s direct drive servo system goes harder at 12Nm.
The Spinal Tap leap from eleven to...
The weekend has officially kicked off, and we've rounded up some of the best deals you can find this weekend. Whether you're searching for a new gaming headset or a new game to pick up on sale, there are plenty of options this weekend. The best deals for Saturday, June 29, include the HyperX CloudX Headset, Street Fighter 6, Danganronpa Decadence, and more.
HyperX CloudX Headset for $29.99
The CloudX is officially licensed for Xbox Series X|S and Xbox One, so you can play worry-free knowing you're getting a reliable headset. HyperX prioritized sound with this headset, with enhanced bass reproduction and clear highs, lows, and mids for all-around immersion. It's worth noting that the CloudX can be used on PC, but you'll need a splitter...
In April 1908, Newcastle upon Tyne man Gladstone Adams was driving his Darracq-Charron motorcar back from the FA Cup final between Newcastle United and Wolverhampton Wanderers. Newcastle had lost and, to make matters worse, Adams’ journey home was being delayed by snow. That is, it kept covering his windscreen and he had to repeatedly stop and get out of the car to clear it.
Some kind of innovation was needed. There had to be something that would help people see where they were going.
As it turned out, there was; a few years later Adams invented his own windscreen wiper. He patented the design and became one of several people from around the beginning of the 1900s credited with conceiving of similar devices, although his version of...
Back in the day, SNK was one of gaming’s biggest names. King of Fighters and Fatal Fury were hugely popular beat-’em-ups in the 1980s and ’90s, while Metal Slug helped define the side-scrolling action game genre, and the company’s high-spec console, handheld and arcade hardware were the envy of many.
After two tumultuous decades in the 2000s, SNK received investment from Saudi Arabia’s Electronic Gaming Development Company in 2020 and was fully acquired in 2022. The investment has come under scrutiny due to Saudi Arabia’s human rights record, which includes allegations of unfair treatment of women and the LGBTQ community. In the aftermath of the acquisition, an SNK lead insisted that the studio's new ownership "doesn't affect us in...
If Alice: Madness Returns was dead on arrival, that would at least be aesthetically consistent.
The 2011 sequel to American McGee's Alice went even deeper into Alice in Wonderland's red guts than the first game, pulling out the most nightmarish aspects of the Victorian children's story and tying their shadows into a neat action-adventure. But it suffered from abysmal launch sales, with reviewers and fans both being disappointed by what they felt were rough controls and level design.
Still, game designer American McGee wasn't giving up.
McGee, who created the series after being fired by id Software, hoped to gather enough community support for a follow-up, and the most diehard Alice believers gave it to him in spades. But after a...
At this point, I’ve now played The First Descendant in three or four different beta iterations, and each time I’ve felt no more or less certain whether this would be something my friends and I would want to play, or just another sci-fi shooter in a sea of similar games vying for our attention. After more than 45 hours sunk into a pre-launch preview build over the past week, I’m only slightly closer to answering that question – but I’m certainly not having a bad time. I’ve got a whole lot left to play, including the all-important endgame, for instance, so as of now I’m still not sure if The First Descendant will be my next looter-shooter fixation, or yet another one that misses the mark.
Nexon’s free-to-play third-person multiplayer...
Cyberpunk 2077 developer CD Projekt Red recently discussed the future of the RPG series and where it still has room to grow in its upcoming sequel, codenamed Project Orion. One hope the studio has for its upcoming sequel is to do a better job of pushing the envelope in its commentary on social issues.
During a recent episode of CDProject Red's AnswerRed Podcast, associate game director Paweł Sasko underscored how, despite the game's nature of not hand-feeding players answers to prevailing social issues, Cyberpunk 2077 didn't go far enough in its social commentary.
"I see that we didn't push the envelope far enough in some places, for instance," Sasko said. "Like, let's say, the homeless crisis. When I look at it, I'm like, 'We...
A few days ago, Capcom and GOG surprised fans by announcing they would be re-releasing the original Resident Evil trilogy on PC. Along with providing easier access to the original trilogy, DRM-free, GOG has also revealed that the original version of Resident Evil 2 is based on the 1998 Windows PC version.
The news was first reported by YouTuber The Sphere Hunter, who revealed she had the chance to play the first two games in advance — revealing that Resident Evil 2 classic was based on the original Windows PC version, not the Sourcenext version. A GOG spokesperson also confirmed this detail to IGN in a statement sent via email.
If you're unfamiliar with these two ports, the former was released in 1998 for Windows 98, while the...
Eight years ago, Japanese director Katsura Hashino announced that he was forming a new team within Atlus after more than a decade spent working on the Persona series (and Catherine), saying he wanted to try something new. Last summer, his game was finally revealed – Metaphor: ReFantazio, an RPG that features plenty of similarities to the Persona games, but has a personality all its own.
In broad strokes, Metaphor retains many familiar elements from Hashino’s previous games. Like its spiritual predecessors, Metaphor utilizes a turn-based command system built around exploiting the weaknesses of enemies. The main character, an outcast who uses forbidden magic, looks a great deal like the hero of Persona 3 Reload thanks in no small part...
Three months after the initial announcement, AMD has finally released the latest iteration of its FidleityFX Super Resolution (FSR) upscaling and frame generation tech.
In a new blog post, AMD revealed that FSR 3.1 and the first few games that support it are now available. Currently, five games are first-party PlayStation games ported by Nixxes Software, and the studio revealed in a post on X/Twitter that it was working closely with AMD to incorporate the new tech into its games. Of course, the list will likely grow now that the latest tech is available.
AMD and Nixxes' collaboration is no surprise. Beyond the obvious track record Nixxes has with specializing in porting console games onto PC, the first five games announced already...
Hideo Kojima left Konami and the Metal Gear series he created nine years ago, but for the person now producing the franchise it would be a “dream” to have the legendary developer back in the fold.
As reported by VGC, Konami’s Metal Gear series producer Noriaki Okamura said on a recent livestream published to YouTube that, personally speaking, he’d love to work with Kojima again on Metal Gear.
“But just speaking for myself, personally, I’d like nothing better than to work with Mr. Kojima and the rest of the team again,” Okamura said. "If that could happen, that would be the dream.
“But people have moved on to new things and new commitments, and that’s just our current reality. We can’t just take it for granted that everyone would...

FromSoftware has warned players that performance issues experienced while playing Elden Ring’s Shadow of the Erdtree DLC may be caused by computer mouse software running in the background.
Shadow of the Erdtree released to critical acclaim on June 21 with IGN's review awarding the expansion a 10. However, many in the community have since complained about significant performance issues on both console and PC, which contributed to a review bombing that saw the DLC slip to a ‘mixed’ overall user rating on Steam.
According to a recent FromSoftware tweet, these issues may partially be remedied by closing any third-party computer mouse software prior to launching the game. “In the PC version, the frame-rate may not be stable when playing...
At this point, Genshin Impact and Honkai: Star Rail have firmly created the expectation that when developer HoYoverse sets out to make a new game, it's going to be both like and completely unlike what it has done before. Fans of the studio's games will know how getting new characters and eventually building them will work (different names, same structure), but the action and tone vary quite significantly. This is once again true for Zenless Zone Zero, HoYoverse's next project that swaps out its larger sandboxes for stylish streets with even more stylish characters and flashy action combat.
I played Zenless Zone Zero (ZZZ) for the first time briefly in its second closed beta test, and again for about four hours at a media event hosted...
Starting a fresh chapter in a long-running video game series must be a daunting endeavor for a developer. How do you follow up 20 years of worldbuilding and deeply intertwined stories with a new setting and cast? It’s a tough question that The Legend of Heroes: Trails through Daybreak answers confidently, kicking off an exciting new arc that both newcomers and veterans can equally enjoy after 2023’s The Legend of Heroes: Trails into Reverie brought the series’ previous saga to a satisfying conclusion. With an updated combat system that fuses turn-based battles with some new real-time elements, an engaging story, and a charming cast of characters, Trails through Daybreak shines as yet another great RPG in a year packed full of them...
FromSoftware has once again delivered a critical darling in Shadow of the Erdtree, its gargantuan DLC expansion for Elden Ring. But while it has received glowing adoration from professional critics, a not-insignificant slice of players have rallied against Shadow of the Erdtree’s difficulty. Perceiving its enemies and bosses to be so challenging that they make the game unfair, some fans have review bombed the DLC on Steam and even crafted mods for the PC version that make the experience easier.
And so comes the inevitable question – is Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree too difficult? Has FromSoftware finally gone too far? The answer, at least according to the various journalists and Souls content creators I’ve spoken to, is no...
Don’t Nod has delayed its upcoming game, Lost Records: Bloom & Rage, from the third quarter of 2024 to early 2025 in order to avoid clashing with the new Life is Strange game.
Don't Nod Entertainment is the original developer of narrative adventure Life is Strange for publisher and franchise owner Square Enix. It’s currently working on new narrative adventure Lost Records: Bloom & Rage, while Square Enix has tasked Deck Nine with developing Life Is Strange: Double Exposure for release in October.
Don't Nod announced the decision to delay Lost Records: Bloom & Rage to avoid a narrative adventure showdown with Life is Strange later this year.
“We've made the decision to move the release dates of Lost Records: Bloom & Rage to early...
It’s been some time since Amazon announced its Tomb Raider and The Lord of the Rings video games, and it sounds like fans will have to wait a while longer for a reveal.
Amazon announced it had signed a deal with Crystal Dynamics to develop and publish the next major Tomb Raider game back in December 2022. We’ve heard nothing in the year-and-a-half since, although Crystal Dynamics was forced to reassure fans that it was unaffected by devastating cuts at embattled parent company Embracer.
Meanwhile, Amazon announced it had signed a deal with Middle-earth rights owner Embracer to develop an as-yet-untitled The Lord of the Rings MMO back in May 2023. Again, we’ve heard nothing since, but we do know this game is set in Middle-earth and...
The developer of Tribes 3 has signaled plans to move on from the game after it failed to find an audience.
Tribes 3 launched in March on Steam billed as the triumphant return of the fast-paced multiplayer first-person shooter series whose games were popular in the late 90s and early 2000s. But despite a ‘mostly positive’ Steam user review rating, player numbers were extremely low. According to SteamDB, Tribes 3 hit a peak of 890 concurrent players on Valve’s platform upon launch, with just 26 concurrent players at the time of this article’s publication.
Developer Prophecy Games issued an update to say neither Tribes 3 or its prior game, the already shuttered Starsiege Deadzone, saw enough success to justify the team’s continued...

Thank your own personal deity—possibly Miquella the Kind—it's Friday! The biggest eyebrow raise of today is Sand Land dropping down into the $50 range on PS5, despite the Xbox version staying near a hundred. Pricing error? Too much stock on one platform? Who knows, my friend. Capitalize first; ask questions later.
In retro news, I'm celebrating the 22nd birthday of Frequency, Harmonix's psychedelic, instrument-less proto-Guitar Hero. I have distinct memories of spending way too much time trying to perfect my "track shift" combos on the 25+ songs included here—in particular, No Doubt's 'Ex-Girlfriend'...for some reason. Though Frequency didn't sell a bunch, it was a serious gateway drug for Westerners whose only exposure to the genre...
