Those of us that remember Metroid Prime coming out have probably turned to dust from the first sentence (not me, I don’t remember, sorry to everyone who does), but yes, Metroid Prime turns 20 next week on November 18. To mark the occasion, programmer Zoid Kirsch has decided to share some secrets you might not know about the game, having started November 18, with plans to continue sharing some everyday up until the anniversary....

That is already a large sum of money, but it’s not until you look at Microsoft’s own history with acquisitions, and the entertainment industry at large, that it really puts things in perspective. In 2019, Disney acquired Fox in a historic deal worth $71.3 billion, only $2.6 billion more than what Microsoft paid for Activision Blizzard. This is by far Microsoft’s largest ever acquisition. Before Activision Blizzard, Microsoft’s highest was Linkedin, which was worth $26....

Microsoft has just outlined a number of technical details for Xbox Series X. In a blog post, the platform holder revealed an outline of the Xbox Series X specs and some of its unique features. First, the company confirmed the Xbox Series X GPU is targeting 12 TFLOPS of computing power, in line with the recent AMD leak. The GPU is based on AMD’s RDNA 2 architecture, and the CPU is built on Zen 2....

In a Twitch stream, developer Asobo laid out its roadmap for future updates. Great Britain is next on the list, and it’s going to receive a lick of fresh paint in January. The studio has said that it has an entirely new set of data to make England, Wales and Scotland in the simulator giant....

News of Xbox One production ceasing was confirmed by Microsoft to The Verge. The company stopped making Xbox One X back in July 2020, but Xbox One S manufacturing continued until the end of the year. The news comes on the heels of a Bloomberg report stating that Sony is continuing to produce its PS4 console despite planning to end manufacturing at the end of last year. Is it said the company will continue to produce the console due to PS5 shortages, and that one million units will be made this year....

The removals will start on February 7. Once purchased, you can always redownload the games or any other previously purchased games from your Xbox 360 Download History. This will not affect the game if they are currently available on the Xbox One and Xbox Series X/S stores. Only the Xbox 360 Marketplace. Speaking with Gematsu, a Microsoft spokesperson assured you will still be able to play discs or previously downloaded games on your Xbox 360 and modern consoles if they are backwards compatible titles....

All Palicoes have something unique to offer, but not every skillset is worth your time. The way Monster Hunter Rise dishes out companion skills means you’re never stuck with just one type of Palico anyway, even if you choose a dedicated Healer. What is the best Palico support type in Monster Hunter Rise? Assist and Healer Palicoes are the best, and if you can find an Assist Palico with Healer skills, it should never leave your party....

Malzeno is an Elder Dragon, and the headline monster for the Sunbreak expansion. As you’d expect, then, it’s not easy to overcome. It’s most similar to Velkhana from previous games, but with some unique blood-based attacks and properties layered on top. Malzeno was designed with the aristocracy, nobility, grandeur, and cunningness all in mind – inspired by the likes of Nosferatu and vampires in European folklore. When Malzeno drains enough life, it enters a powered-up state; its strength is boosted immensely and it becomes extremely agile – this is lethal if not countered properly, and makes for a very tricky fight....

Whenever September rolls around, I immediately begin to feel autumnal, even if the sun is still shining. You know that it’s a matter of time before Halloween rolls around, then Christmas, and then the New Year. It all goes far too fast, but there is one thing that I love about this type of year; watching all the seasonal films that feel wrong to watch at any other time. I think the team at Player First Games must share similar sentiments, because one of these films is Gremlins....

The statement was published by the official Naughty Dog Twitter page. You can read it below. “Although we welcome critical discussion, we condemn any form of harassment or threats directed towards our team and cast,” it reads. “Their safety is our top priority, but we must all work together to root out this type of behavior and maintain a constructive and compassionate discourse.” This comes in the wake of a barrage of harassment aimed at the studio and the people who work there....

Uncharted 4 felt like the perfect wrap up for Naughty Dog’s adventure game series and I’d be completely happy if it ended there. It seems like the developer feels the same way as it begins to think about what the studio might tackle next. In an interview with GQ, Naughty Dog spoke about diversity, subverting expectations, and even personal inspirations behind The Last of Us Part 2’s story. But there’s also a little tease as to what the future might hold for Sony’s most prestigious studio....

Necromunda: Hired Gun’s reveal in March caught me a little off guard, doubly so when I realised it’s out in June and not some years into the future. Streum On, the small French team behind it, typically takes a while to put out a new game. But years of experience and Focus Home Interactive’s newfound support have clearly helped the team arrive at the perfect size and scope for its games, because Hired Gun is a game that entertains, and sometimes impresses, without falling into the trap of overambition....

Need for Speed Heat’s March update is currently rolling out on all platforms. The biggest addition is the new Black Market Delivery, which is another for players to earn new cars. The Black Market Delivery business is handled in-game by Raziel, a new character who will be the player’s point of contact when it comes to exotic imports. With this particular update, two new cars are being added. The 2018 Aston Martin DB11 Volante and its bundle of items are entirely free, whereas the 1993 McLaren F1 will run you $5 in real money....

The news was originally shared on Twitter, where Netflix posted brief details about The Witcher: Blood Origin. Check out the tweet below. “1,200 years before Geralt of Rivia, the worlds of monsters, men and elves merged into one, and the first Witcher came to be,” reads the tweet. “Announcing The Witcher: Blood Origin, a 6 part live-action The Witcher spin-off series from Declan de Barra and Lauren Schmidt Hissrich.” For those who don’t know, Hissrich is the showrunner for Netflix’s The Witcher, and will be taking the helm of the prequel series, too....

The four-part series is set 1,200 years before the adventures of Geralt of Rivia, and was created by Declan De Barra and The Witcher showrunner Lauren Schmidt Hissrich. Blood Origin will cover the Conjunction of the Spheres, a cataclysm trapping unnatural creatures such as ghouls and vampires in the dimension where the story takes place. The collision created rifts of different realms bringing with it a force known as chaos or magic....

In total we’re given a fantastic sample platter of weapons, armour pieces, the glaive, and a little bit of weapon crafting too for good measure! While we aren’t given anything super substantial such as weapon stats or detailed descriptions on exotic abilities, we can grasp the gist of what each thing does. You can watch the trailer embedded below: Starting off strong, we see weapon crafting in motion as the player seemingly adjusts what traits your crafted weapon has manually....

A free content update is coming to New Pokemon Snap on August 4, and it includes 20 new Pokemon and new areas to photograph the creatures featuring day and night cycles. There will be three new areas in total including the Secret Slide Path. In this area, the NEO-ONE shrinks to a tiny size so that the Pokemon you see will look gigantic. You will even be able to hear their breathing and footsteps....

Released for Switch back in the fall, the game is an expanded version of the 3D platformer published by Xbox Game Studios in 2017. The game features new levels, story, cinematics, and character dialogue, and tighter controls than its predecessor. The main quest remains the same and finds Lucky on a mission to rescue the Book of Ages from the villain Jinx and his Kitty Litter critters....
