Luigi doesn’t get enough love within the Nintendo hierarchy, but he finally gets his much-requested sequel with Luigi’s Mansion 3 . Going hands-on with the game brought back memories of the Gamecube-era experience, from flashing ghosts to inhaling them with your Poltergust 3000. The Luigi’s Mansion formula doesn’t feel sufficiently mined yet, and so this third entry will try to combine a modern platform with new puzzles, clever design, and a charming main charac
Google has promised that Stadia will be compatible with a variety of controllers, and specifically showed the Xbox One controller during its GDC 2019 keynote presentation. However, Stadia will also have its own specific controller, which looks somewhat like a cross between the Xbox One controller and the DualShock 4. How the Stadia controller feels and operates compared to the competition remains to be seen, but it will be interesting to see what consumers think once it’s finally available to the mas
There is no escaping the idea that RAGE 2 feels like developer id Software’s 2016 banger, DOOM — and that is a good thing. Despite plenty of open-world, post-apocalyptic shooters rolling out within the year, RAGE 2 feels entirely it’s own with an exciting twist to gaming in a gigantic landscape: rapid, unrelenting, and up-close and personal com
Google Stadia impressed many who watched the GDC 2019 presentation, but Google has failed to address one key area about the platform: how much it will cost. At the time of this writing, we still don’t know how much Google Stadia will cost. However, based on currently-available game streaming services, it seems like a safe bet that Google Stadia will cost at least $10-$20 per mo
Meanwhile, the landscape to RAGE 2 feels like it may hurt gameplay — the best moments of gameplay came in situations where there was more limited mobility, like when I was taking part in arena-like deathmatches to win the favor of a cantankerous bouncer. On the other end, I can see developer Avalanche Studios making use of the open space, offering more mobility options that amp up gameplay. But in my short preview session, I couldn’t master the gameplay enough to find out which camp this leans i
Easily the biggest surprise of the show, LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga takes a new engine and delivers a game that feels like a Star Wars game that just happens to use LEGO as its principal aesthetic. A new camera, improved combat, and open world areas help make this game feel like a complete overhaul of the LEGO ga
Doom Eternal is set to launch on November 22 and includes a collector’s edition. Bethesda has stated that one of the features will be a wearable “Doom Slayer” helmet. As exciting as this sounds, past experience with Bethesda’s special editions has no doubt made players cautious. Just look at what happened with Fallout 76 and the now infamous Power Armor Edition “canvas” b
Even without Sony this year, E3 2019 continued to deliver big trailers, major surprises, and a wealth of new information regarding many of the biggest and highly anticipated releases from companies like Bethesda, Ubisoft, Microsoft, and more. Unlike last year, not a lot of studios opted to show gameplay in their trailers, meaning the majority of what people saw at the show was CG. Whether that’s due to the upcoming next generation of consoles or the hesitancy to show something too early is anyone’s gu
The physical rewards include a full-sized wearable DOOM Slayer Helmet replica. There is also a playable cassette tape and downloadable codes for digital copies of Mick Gordon’s Doom Eternal multiplayer guide|https://doometernalplay.com/ (2016) and DOOM Eternal original soundtracks. The package also contains a DOOM lore book and “Gift of Argent Power” Lithogr
The world itself has the personality of Mad Max (conveniently another Avalanche-developed title) and the currently-dormant Borderlands series. On the one hand, the world is tough, machismo, and gritty. The weak aren’t surviving in post-apocalyptic Earth, and most people are actively devolving into their worst traits–the sadists and masochists rule the world in a barely-contained soci
Speaking of the Stadia release date, that is another area that Google has been vague about. While a specific release date is currently unavailable, we know that Google is hoping to launch Stadia in the Americas and most of Europe by the end of 2019, with more regions presumably to follow in 2020 and bey
While latency is a concern, it seems that the reception to Google Stadia since its announcement has been generally positive. Stadia has managed to generate quite a bit of buzz, especially thanks to its stage presentation where the ability to immediately switch between different devices was shown off and seemed to work flawles
So far, the images look promising, but the same could be said for the ill-fated Power Armor Edition of Fallout 76 . Since players didn’t appear to complain about the wearable T-51B Power Armor Helmet, which came with the ill-fated bag, there’s hope for DOOM Eternal. After all, Bethesda has wisely stayed away from can
