Microsoft X018: Here Are the Six Biggest Announcements

Microsoft shocked everyone back at E3 2018 when they revealed that they had acquired Playground Games, Undead Labs, Ninja Theory, The Initiative, and Compulsion Games , but they were still able to add two more studios to that lineup today: inXile Entertainment and Obsidian Entertainm

While PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds has been available for some time, the Battle Royale phenomenon has only continued to grow with new updates and features added regularly, and now the game’s next major update will also include its long-awaited next

Whenever there are less than ten other players left in the round, oh boy, it’s a ride. Crawling through the thick grass in complete silence not knowing whether someone is right next to you causes my hands to sweat. I legitimately get nervous and my hands begin to tremble each time because I get filled with so much anxiety. Even the best players can’t just run around all willy nilly. If you are caught in the open, most of the times that’s it. You’re done for. The last five minutes of a round in PUBG are some of the most stressful and suspenseful moments I have ever experienced in a game. However, the payoff of a chicken dinner also is one of the most rewarding feelings I ever f

This is on a horse-by-horse basis, which is to say if your horse gets destroyed, you have to start from scratch with a new one. The Horse Reviver potion will, fortunately, resurrect your horse. It’s expensive, but worth having aro

Think of the Mirado as a compliment to the other unique vehicles on Miramar: The van is extremely sturdy, but slow and ineffective when taken off-road; The pickup is great for off-road travel; And the Mirado is the fastest way to blaze down a high

Previously, grenade damage was greatly dependant on fall damage (from the grenade’s knockback effect) rather than explosion. We’ve removed the grenade’s knockback effect for player characters, and have adjusted it so that only explosion damage is applied when you’re struck by a gren

Comparing this to PUBG is almost like a night and day difference. You must always be on your toes. One bad decision could cost you and your squad the match. Whether it is how you ransack a set of buildings, or how you make your approach toward the circle, battlegrounds will always reward the squad that communicates and puts some careful thought into their playst

We saw a bit of them in action on the game’s Paris stage as well, and they look as crazy as you’d think. Jump Force launches on February 15, though Bandai Namco Entertainment and Spike Chunsoft are still promising more character reveals leading up until lau

Guess I’ll have to wait because a beta won’t even be ready until November. Will we even get the full release this year? Hard to say. This is just like Grand Theft Auto V’s launch. You’d think Rockstar would have lear

Sanhok is 4km x 4km map (one fourth the size of Erangel or Miramar). Although games tend to end a little more quickly on this tiny island, battles are still massive. Every game still features 100 play

This means that for example, when aiming down the sight, you won’t gain the full accuracy improvements from ADS until your sights are aligned.

The winning player or team will now be given approximately 8 seconds to celebrate their victory before the match ends and results are displa

Red Dead Redemption II was both my most anticipated game of 2018 and also the one I was most wary of. I was a huge fan of the first game, which came out all the way back in 2010. It was the series I dreamed of Rockstar revisiting once again, but was always let down time and time again. Sometimes when we get our dreams and wishes granted, they end up being disappointing. There was a lot that could have gone wrong with this sequel and the first few showings didn’t have me exactly thrilled. The biggest reveal was that it was a prequel and not about a new group of people. That is to say, we were going to find out what John Marston’s life was like in the height of the Van der Linde gang. Yet we weren’t going to play John, but someone completely new that was never mentioned in the first g

Let’s say you do want a more up close and personal type of gameplay though. Well PUBG has you covered on that as well. The game has all different kinds of events that take place periodically and mix things up a bit. The Tequila Sunrise mode, where the only weapons available are shotguns and melee weapons, completely alters how you play because you have to be within close range to do any damage. This usually results in chaotic firefights. War Mode sets three teams of ten players against each other at designated areas of the map and is similar to the standard team deathmatch. Metal Rain multiplies squads by two and features eight-player teams. The ever-rotating set of events always offer a refreshing change when you might not want to play the normal battle royale mode. While these modes do provide a nice change of pace, I always come back to what PUBG got so right the first time aro
