Chance Glasco, an ex-lead animator on the Call of Duty series, has claimed that Activision once pressured Infinity Ward to make an entry in which Iran attacked Israel. He did so in response to a video montage posted on the official White House Xitter account, which combines the USA’s real life military strikes against Iran with killstreak animations and Call of Duty interface elements.
Blizzard took time out this evening to talk shop about the Warlock class set to drop with the next Diablo 4 expansion, Lord of Hatred, in late April, and it sounds like an absolute powerhouse by design. Now about to enter its third Diablo game after Diablo 2 Resurrected and Diablo Immortal, the Warlock is shaping up to deliver on the promise of it hitting the height of its powers if you play its incarnations in chronological order. A simple idea appears to be at the head of the Warlock class design philosophy in Diablo 4. According to associate director/game…
One of the founding members of the Call of Duty franchise has alleged that publisher Activision once pressured the game’s developer to build a campaign around Iran attacking Israel.Chance Glasco was one of the original 22 developers who left Medal of Honor studio 2015 to found Infinity Ward in the early 2000s, and lead animator on multiple Call of Duty games.On Wednesday, the US government’s official White House X account posted footage of its ongoing strikes on Iran, overlayed with Call of Duty UI items, such as a minimap and XP notifications.The United States and Israel began coordinated joint attacks…
What began as a, perhaps mischievous, but otherwise innocent fan challenge for Helldivers 2 developers to play their own game on the highest difficulty in exchange for a $1,000 charity donation has turned into a quagmire. Both developer Arrowhead and publisher Sony are putting on their wading shoes in an effort to rid it of weeds.Arrowhead and Sony both addressed all players in a joint statement posted on official Helldivers 2 social channels March 5, making it clear that “Arrowhead Game Studios and Sony Interactive Entertainment are tracking the situation currently unfolding surrounding the Dev D10 challenge which started on…
Hear ye, hear ye! It is time to play your hand, for the day of prophecy has come: Slay the Spire 2 has, finally, launched into early access. I know, I know, there’s some game about running a marathon or something by a team of folks that run a bungee jumping business out today too. Forget that! Running is difficult, deckbuilding is… also difficult, but, I don’t like running, so there. With the release of the sequel into early access comes a Steam post that discusses its very status as an early access game. “The Spire truly is…
With both Marathon and Slay the Spire 2 amassing tens of thousands of players at launch today, dropping a third, hotly-anticipated (and entirely different) game on Steam at the same time appears to be making it hard for people to actually buy them. According to Twitter game guy Wario64 (and backed up by reports on Downdetector), people are reportedly “having issues buying on Steam” as Marathon, Bungie’s new multiplayer FPS, dropped alongside long-awaited roguelike sequel Slay the Spire 2. Though both games are climbing the charts with tens of thousands of players apiece, the comments to his post throw a…

There is no greater source of tepid rage than when I see a game, I buy it, I proceed to download it, and it tells me it needs to take up one billion gigabytes of my hard drive space (NB: one billion is an exaggeration). It fills every corner of my being with a potent darkness, and I would like it to stop. This is a feeling many had with Helldivers and its ludicrously large 154GB install size, leading to a test build of the game to be released by Arrowhead last year knocking it way down to only…
In the weeks (days, actually) that followed the release of Hytale, we saw simple texture packs, full-blown conversion mods, and everything in between drop alongside its rapid official patches. Now, Hypixel lead Simon Collins-Laflamme and the Hytale studio have gone full Mr. Beast mode, promising to pay out $100k big ones to up to 65 winners who wow the team and the Hytale community with the most inventive mods. Hytale lead Collins-Laflamme recently took to Twitter/X to announce the start of a competition that he hopes will be viewed “like esports, but for modders.” I presume he means something like…
