There’s a good chance that plenty of fans will always see Robin taking a back seat to Gotham’s biggest and baddest crime-fighter, but those who have been keeping up with Arkham City details know that this incarnation of the Boy Wonder is unlike many before. The developers at Rocksteady have taken the time to completely re-imagine Tim Drake for the world in which their game is set, complete with combat and weapons all his own....
Battlefield 3 has certainly drawn a distinct line in the sand with the game’s visuals. Obviously, the powerful Frostbite 2 engine that DICE cooked up has a lot of complexities that will already have some mod enthusiasts drooling at the kind of products they could create. After E3 2011, DICE released a video showcasing the Frostbite 2 and its ability to render all kinds of technological wonders. Beautiful, gorgeous, and jaw-dropping are all accurate descriptors of the game’s graphical and animation abilities....
The Swedish-based developer made the two videos only twenty-seconds in length, and offer a mere hint of action. Those waiting for a bigger video, though, haven’t long to wait - DICE is set to pull the curtains back with a full gameplay trailer on March 27th. That date is two days into GDC 2013 - meaning press will get an early look at the product. But for now, gamers will have to make due with the two ‘Prepare 4 Battle’ teasers, and try and forget that play-on-words was attempted....
[HTML1] While DICE claims they have improved the singleplayer experience for Battlefield 4, everyone knows that the multiplayer is the most integral part of the franchise. It’s been that way since the series’ inception, and only continues to be true today. With that in mind, Electronic Arts has released a new trailer for Battlefield 4 that is all about the multiplayer. It’s not as detailed or as involved as previous multiplayer trailers, mind you, but gives players a solid overview of what’s in store for them come October....
Congrats to the Hardline dev team, which is probably gearing up for launch day and post-launch support. If past game releases are anything to go by, Hardline is going to need it, presumably when it comes to the online side of things. The news of the game’s gold status across all platforms and regions came from the official Battlefield Hardline Twitter account earlier today, which also included an image of a robber holding what appears to be a golden gun....
Blood Money, for those who haven’t keeping track on the latest from Battlefield Hardline, is a cops vs. robbers inspired riff on Capture the Flag. However, instead of trying to capture the other team’s flag, players are trying to steal their money. On specific spots on the map, the same Downtown Los Angeles map featured in most of the game’s multiplayer footage, are a friendly vault and an enemy vault, which are represented by armored trucks and securely placed in opposing parking structures....
[HTML1] It hasn’t been a great week thus far for Wii U owners. With two third-party exclusives on the Wii U jumping ship, there may be concern that Nintendo’s newest console could lose even more exclusives — Bayonetta 2 being one of them. While it’s entirely possible that more “exclusive” third-party games may transition over to other systems, consumers who invested in the Wii U can rest easy knowing that Platinum Games’ Bayonetta 2 and The Wonderful 101 won’t be going anywhere....
The incident occurred in a village in Muranga County, which is in the central region of Kenya, north of the capital city of Nairobi, local news outlet Citizen Digital reported. The victim, 50-year-old David Njoroge, was about to eat dinner at home when the hippo attacked him. Common hippos are the third-largest living land mammal, after elephants and white rhinos. They weigh between 1.5 and 5 tons and grow between 6 and 16....
But a viral video has claimed you get into your house quickly without resorting to smashing a window, and all you need is a coin, Scotch tape, scissors and some plastic. TikTok user, jorgevalenzuelam, shared a clip which he captioned “el mejor hack del mundo.” which translates to “the best hack in the world.” Demonstrating how it works, he brings up a photo on his phone of his house key next to a Euro, for scale....
Nike said earlier in the week that it would not sell its Air Max 1 Quick Strike Fourth of July shoe. The Wall Street Journal said the company pulled the sneaker after former NFL star Colin Kaepernick told the company it should not sell a shoe with a symbol that some consider offensive, given its ties to America’s time as a nation with slavery. The flag has also been adopted by hate groups....
Federer and Djokovic, along with Rafael Nadal, have dominated the tennis circuits for more than two decades. They have won the lion’s share of titles, especially at the Majors, and have together formed a rivalry that many think is unparalleled in the sport. Stauffer, a tennis correspondent and author of two biographies on the Swiss maestro, spoke to CLAY magazine about the relationship between the members of the Big 3....
It seems as if Sony is beginning to build quite a library of PS3 games and remastering and slightly reworking them in order to re-release them to their newer home console. The first of these titles was The Last of Us: Remastered. That release was the same version of the original PS3 title, though it did collect the original story and the DLC and put it together in one edition with enhanced visuals....
This scene comes after news that original Missy actor Jenny Slate is stepping down from the character after saying she was no longer comfortable as a white actor playing an actor of color. Who is the new actor voicing Missy on Big Mouth? Though many Big Mouth viewers may not recognize Missy’s new voice, there is a chance you may have heard her words before. Ayo Edebiri is best known for her writing work....
What appears to be one of the more sizzling weapons in the new add-on, the flamethrower, is often used as a pushing tool. When a large group of enemies are encroaching in an area, a quick burst of fire will easily have them running. The trailer also shows a burst of flame ravaging enemies in a tunnel system and a series of trenches. According to EA, one of the maps will also be called Hill 137, which strangely enough features a large hill as a defending point....
With the Wales international having endured another injury-hit campaign in Spain, leading to him being benched by Blancos boss Zinedine Zidane, talk of a summer transfer is growing in intensity. Bale’s representatives have done their best to quash the rumours, but reports of interest from the likes of Manchester United and Bayern Munich refuse to go away. Spurs have also been mooted as a possible landing spot for a man who left north London in a €100 million deal back in 2013, with a former boss at White Hart Lane eager to see a deal done if possible....
Appropriating language from Black Lives Matter protests against anti-Black police violence, Tuesday’s protest speakers told bar owners to reopen their establishments in defiance of Abbott’s order, according to KXAN. On the protest’s Facebook event page, organizers wrote that bars had been scapegoated for the state’s rise in newly confirmed coronavirus cases. “No other businesses are being shut down. It’s wrong and affecting the livelihood of hundreds of thousands across the state....
Unfortunately, WB Games stirred up some bad press for the highly anticipated title recently with the announcement of its Season Pass. Many fans were annoyed by the Season Pass, which will cost $40 (over half the price of the $60 game), especially since there wasn’t anything substantial revealed about what it may include. Asking people to drop that much money and having no real idea what they’re spending that cash on did not go well with fans....
It’s a good thing, then, that Battlefield Hardline arrives in a stable condition, or at least an extremely more stable condition than Battlefield 4. That isn’t to say DICE didn’t do most of the legwork while fixing BF4, but many fans will want to know first and foremost whether Hardline “works.” It does, but purely from a technical level. However, whether the concepts explored within this cops vs. robbers spin-off work is up for serious debate....
The sale offers many well-known downloadable titles, and a ton that gamers probably have never heard of either directly from the developer, on many of the mobile app stores, or on Steam, all at a substantially discounted price. Among the notable titles are Double Fine’s more recent downloadable outings like Costume Quest and Stacking, and the extremely unique Q.U.B.E., a riff on the Portal first-person puzzle platformer genre. Because We May will run through June 1st, giving gamers plenty of time to discover a few new titles, or to check out some whose price tag felt a little too steep....
“Bring the leaders of the free world to Doral, he said. What could go wrong, he said,” tweeted songwriter Holly Figueroa O’Reilly, founder of Blue Wave Crowdsource, which supports Democratic candidates. Twitter users began using the hashtag Thursday after White House acting chief of staff Mick Mulvaney announced that the G7 summit would take place at Trump’s Doral resort because it was “far and away the best physical facility for this meeting....
