Helldivers 2 players long ago christened the character from the game’s intro cinematic as John Helldiver – the ultimate embodiment of freedom, democracy, and impossibly deep insincerity. Arrowhead has increasingly taken to this moniker, and a new interview with the game’s director suggests that the name is pretty much canon now.”I think one of the strengths of Helldivers is that it is very easy to understand the fantasy and get into it quickly,” game director Mikael Eriksson tells IGN. “You can watch the opening cinematic with our John Helldiver character – named by the community – you can watch that…
League of Legends spinoff fighting game 2XKO just enjoyed its full, official launch on January 20 and now, just three weeks later, Riot has laid off a number of its developers.Game Developer reports about 80 employees have been impacted by what executive producer Tom Cannon is describing in an announcement post as “an important update on 2XKO.””As we expanded from PC to console, we saw consistent trends in how players were engaging with 2XKO,” Cannon explains. “The game has resonated with a passionate core audience, but overall momentum hasn’t reached the level needed to support a team of this size…
Actor Aaron Moten plays Maximus in Prime Video’s Fallout TV series, and while he’s familiar with the video game source material, he’s confessed that he has “forbid” himself from actually playing any Fallout games.”I am a gamer; I really enjoy taking a break from watching TV and movies. It’s work for me, and I really have a hard time turning that brain off when becoming a viewer,” Moten tells Game Informer. “I have not played Fallout, but I have watched Twitch streams, you know, I’ve watched others play it. But, partly, I forbid myself from playing it at this point.…
Steven Spielberg has been making movies about aliens for his entire career, with his upcoming film Disclosure Day just the latest in his sci-fi oeuvre. According to the legendary filmmaker, what sets Disclosure Day apart from films such as Close Encounters of the Third Kind, ET, and even Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, is how many people are now asking for the truth about “what’s happening in our skies.””I’ve always been fascinated with things that cannot be explained. And I’ve made a lot of movies about things that can’t be explained, from sharks to saucers,” Spielberg…
When the free-to-play mobile spinoff Resident Evil Survival Unit quietly launched last November, I distinctly remember a lack of chatter around it. Resident Evil is one of my all-time favorite franchises, and even though it looked, smelled, and quacked like a generic mobile game wearing a Resident Evil skin, I still had to know if it was any good. And from what little I could find online, that did not appear to be the case, and so I quickly moved and forgot about it.Now here I am, writing a story about how its developers literally monitored play testers’ brainwaves to…
One of the most unique things about Helldivers 2 is the way the collective player base determines the way the story unfolds based on whether or not they’re successful in liberating territory from various threats. The latest enemies in the ongoing Galactic War, the cyborgs, are at the center of Helldivers 2’s “most ambitious” update yet, and the folks at Arrowhead genuinely don’t know how it’s going to play out.Machinery of Oppression is the next big Helldivers 2 update, and it’ll usher in the Battle for Cyberstan, which is currently being occupied by bloodthirsty, democracy-hating cyborgs. You know what to…
Abyss is a game about keeping a giant kraken calm. The only way you can do this is to catch and subsequently sell fish to the sea monster, and the latest Abyss codes will help. We have no idea where the kraken is getting its money from, but we aren’t complaining. Using the cash from the tentacled behemoth, you can upgrade your gear, allowing you to venture deeper into the depths and set your sights on much bigger game. A much more polished game than many of its brethren, Abyss sets its stall out early: catch as many fish as…
Shiny hunting is a time-honored tradition among hardcore Pokemon fans, but there’s one Shiny hunt in particular that stands out above the rest – not a quest to claim specially colored Pokemon, but rather to get specially colored clothes that look like Pokemon. Yes, Shiny clothes have been confounding Pokemon Battle Revolution fans for nigh on 20 years, and after all this time it seems one prolific Shiny hunter who goes by Noa_Kyogre is the first to have collected the entire set.Pokemon Battle Revolution released as a spin-off to the main series on Wii in 2006. You can collect costumes…
Happy this week all! Peeling back the curtains, I discern traces of blue advancing through sallow clouds, a hint of stray sunshine gracing the soggy leaves in the drive. All signs point to the onset of spring, but I will not be fooled. This is a classic Maw stratagem to waylay vitamin D deficient news editors. The creature is trying to tempt me into the open so that it can shower me in digestive juices (what you in the normal world are pleased to call “rain”). No, best pull the curtains closed, count the fuel drums under the table, and…
Back in the early days of the internet and social media, we were very naive about our data (or, I was, at very least). Sure, we’d see those posts that said “Look out! Facebook owns every photo you upload” but we didn’t turn to VPNs, we just shrugged and thought “So what? That’s just a technicality. Mark Zuckerberg doesn’t care about our selfies”, little knowing that everything we posted, said, and did, was being mined for information about us so that algorithms could manipulate us based on the whims of the highest bidder. Now, as the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO),…
