No they haven’t detailed what it will consist of. Hopefully the story stuff all stays intact.  Read more

Just Game Pass console. I suspect because the PC version only came out last fall. Read more

Here to stay, but they will pop up sporadically rather than being around every day.  Read more

Jason wouldn’t let me put together a roast for him so if you refresh the site all day and don’t see one you know who to blame. But since the Kotaku comments are a bastion of freedom and haven’t been turned off yet I’ll share mine here:

Jason was a fearless advocate for making sure we never pulled out punches. One time Read more

I’m sure they’ll announce it in more detail as the update gets closer. For now, the wiki linked to above is pretty thorough.  Read more

This is a good point. While the ratings would certainly be revised online or on later copies, any already out in the wild would have the old language. At the same time, the trend seems to be games ditching loot boxes the longer they’re out, rather than eventually getting them.  Read more

Additionally, we changed the position of the light bar that will give it an extra pop. On DualShock 4, it sat on the top of the controller; now it sits at each side of the touch pad, giving it a slightly larger look and feel.”

Hopefully that saves some battery life, though the new haptic feedback and audio features Read more

Possibly, the blog post doesn’t make it very clear whether it’s intended as a free-to-play multipalyer shooter or what.  Read more

It makes me that much more curious what the PS5 will look like. Less flops but who knows what weird shapes Cerny is dreaming of.  Read more

I’ve just tried this and while I have no doubt it is humanly possible I may sooner chuck my entire rig out the window.  Read more

Yea they definitely tease a lot more of what that’s all about and set up some really interesting threads for the second DLC. Frankly I wish the main game had had more of that focus instead of the drama around her brother.  Read more

Also $25 for the season pass which includes the second DLC. At that price point especially it’s very worth it.  Read more

I usually agree, but none of the puzzles that result from them feel too tedious. They really just help liven things up and compliment your existing powers.  Read more

The parallels to Fallout 76 are fascinating. I’m sure there are logs they could go through and see “Oh wow on March 23 Ethan sold 100 Nintendo Switches” but I doubt there’s any global tool. I’d imagine they’ll simply patch it and then maybe the players who got in early will share their spoils with the rest of the Read more

I woke up early to go food shopping. It was pretty well stocked but the lines snaked across the store and it was pretty surreal to see everyone in gloves and/or makeshift face masks.  Read more
