For now, a minor patch arrives on April 12 TheFallout 76Test Your Metal updatefinally has a release window of June, but before then, you’re able to expect at least one more smaller patch. Confirmed by Bethesda,Fallout 76is getting an April 12 patch, which will “be a bit smaller than some of [their] larger updates that bring new content to the game.” In classic76fashion, this one is looking to “fix bugs and add some new items to the Atomic Shop....

You have to buy Infinite Warfare to get it Here’s a bit of bad news for anyone hoping to shirk this year’sCall of Dutygame in favor of just picking up the remaster ofModern Warfare: you’re able to’t. The absolute only place it’s available is bundled with an extra-expensive copy ofCall of Duty: Infinite Warfare. Activision lays this out bare in arecently-created FAQ pagefor theModern Warfareremaster. One of the questions reads “Can I playCall of Duty: Modern Warfare Remasteredwithout buyingCall of Duty: Infinite Warfare?...

Now that the Medic and Pyro have gotten their updates, there has been some speculation over which class Valve would be releasing new weapons and achievements for next. Although there were some rumors that it would be the Spy — complete withfake update posters! — Valve has announced that the next update will be for everyone’s favorite minigun wielder, the Heavy Weapons Guy. Valve has also decided to start giving us some insight on why exactly they make the changes they do in an attempt to be more open with their development process....

Nothing to show at TGS MoreFinal Fantasy XVIfootage is still a little ways out, according to producer Naoki Yoshida at Tokyo Game Show 2022. As reported by Gematsu, Yoshida took the stage at TGS this past weekend to accept a Future Division Award for Square Enix. While he had the mic,he took the opportunity to explainwhyFinal Fantasy XVIwasn’t at the show: “I haven’t gotten a chance to talk to the marketing or public relations teams at all, so I’m not sure how much I’m allowed to say, but I think we’ll probably be able to release the next trailer next month or so… And after that, I hope to be able to give a rough idea of when it will be released....

From death threats to disappointment, we’d all be better off if we stopped assuming the best from games When Hello Games announced a minor delay for its much-anticipated gameNo Man’s Sky,the team received death threats. When Kotaku so much asreportedon the delay, its staffalsogot death threats. This is obviously a huge goddamned problem with a variety of contributing factors (the anonymity of the Internet, the entitlement of gamers, geekdom’s ongoing manchild problem), but I’m going to focus on a small one with many other far-reaching consequences:...

Soundtrack to the Mayan apocalypse Imagine that. Nothing happened. Certainly today was to be the end of the world according to the Mayans, even though the Mayansnever actually said that. Either way, hurray for life! As we mentionedyesterday, musician Theophany had acountdown page, and once the clock reached zero, he unveiledTime’s End: Majora’s Mask Remixed, an arrangement album of one of the best — if not the best —Zeldagame ever. Peppered in key spots are live instruments and vocals, truly giving the sense of impending doom....

Or any of their mobile gallery? Well, we know what the NX is now, but Nintendo isn’t saying much other than that. What we do know is that it’s a device that can be played at home or on the go, and features a tablet of sorts with removable controls. At home, it’s essentially a slightly juiced up Wii U with Nvidia hardware. On the go — its functionality remains to be seen....

One of the more welcome changes that the New Xbox Experience brought with it was the ability to install games on your console’s hard drive, resulting in quicker load times. Pretty handy, eh? Well, notalways. In the case ofHalo 3, for example, installing the game will actually make it slower. Bungiehas confirmedreports that installingHalo 3will result in less optimal experience thanks to the way it was developed.Halo 3was designed to copy maps from the DVD to the HDD in the first place, which is what it does whenever you play the game....

You mainly just need Hyrule Castle access Zelda: Breath of the Wildhas been around for a while, and all sorts of hacks and glitches have arisen as a result of the march of time (and perseverance).The Gaming Reinvented YouTube channelmanaged to break down a step by step guide on the process, which is actually much simpler than expected: and doesn’t require modding of any kind. Here are the things you need to have ready to go for theBreath of the Wildglitch: From there you’ll head to the bridge just before you enter Hyrule Castle (which is right before the map changes into the castle itself)....

The Monterey Bay Aquarium This is such a coincidence! I was walking through myAnimal Crossing: New Horizonsmuseum this past weekend, and was thinking “someone should totally read up on some of the specimens here and do a virtual tour now that we’re in lockdown.” It’s not an original thought: people have done it with pastAnimal Crossinggames I’m sure, but with the advent of streaming and the circumstances of this particular pandemic, it was only a matter of time....

According to the developer, Road Studio, they started as a small team but knew they needed more people to reach their vision. So they hired some veteran developers and quickly realized that they’d need tocompletely rebuild theircode from the ground up. As for my excitement about the game, the team has stated that their goal for it is to have you play as a person, not as a truck. In a lot of other truck simulators, you may’t leave your truck, so you are essentially the same entity as the vehicle....

It’s well worth taking advantage of theFinal Fantasy 7 Rebirthbonuses for having playedFinal Fantasy 7 Remakeand theFF7 Rebirth demo. However, it’s difficult to know exactly what they are and when to take advantage of them in a save file. I love it when games reward fans who have played previous entries in a series. I fondly remember the complex account system used forDragon Age: Originsto claim rewards inDragon Age 2, which was well worth it for the trophy alone....

Keaton-kinkreet Batman: Arkham Knightjust released the most substantive piece of DLC in its Season Pass withBatgirl: A Matter of Family. That isn’t saying much as it is still slight. It’s just notasshort as the Red Hood and Harley chunks. Definitely doesn’t seem like it’s been worth a $40 season pass. Not to mention that this revenue model seems to be the only thing stopping the base game from offering free roam with these characters....
