Star Wars Battlefront In 4k Is Just Hahaha Who Can Even Run This

Regardless of your thoughts on flimsy content, streamlined mechanics and game modes — Star Wars Battlefront is a gloriously pretty video game. Want to watch some footage of it running in 4k at 60 frames per second with fancy mods? Damn right you do. It’s legitimately beautiful. Crank up the resolution, blast it on full…

Not All Multiplayer Shooters Are Abandoned After 12 Months

Some are abandoned and then picked up again years later, when everyone had forgotten all about them. There are a lot of things wrong with multiplayer shooters these days, but not all of them are guilty of costing $60 then dying a year later. I mean, look at Tribes Ascend, a game released in 2012.…

Fallout 4 Weapons Mod Is Absolutely Bonkers

Normally, you can only attach a select number of mods to any given weapon in Fallout 4. This PC mod, however, gets rid of all those restrictions—which means that you can create completely ludicrous (yet amazing) weapons that would normally be impossible in-game. Seriously, this is some Borderlands-type shit right here. The mod in question…

I’ve Found My New Favorite Mario Maker Level Designer

I’ve got no problem with make-you-want-to-scream Mario stages. There are plenty in Super Mario Maker’s community, and I’ve been playing ‘em for months! But it’s not often you encounter levels as inventive as Nintendo’s own creations, yet that’s exactly how I felt while playing Stank’s—yes, Stank!—stages today. As part of my Mario Maker Morning series,…

I Bought An Expensive-Ass PC Gaming Monitor And It’s Really Good

Look, sometimes you spend $709 on a gaming monitor and wind up really happy with your purchase. I’m not saying it happens every time, but it happened this time. After months of hemming, hawing, and talking myself out of it, last week I went ahead and dropped a bunch of bucks on a newfangled G-Sync…

The Ultimates Just Became Marvel’s Best New Superhero Team

How do you solve a problem like Galactus? By finding something from the beginning of the universe. It’s only two issues in, but The Ultimates is already the most exciting book in Marvel’s new All-New, All-Different line-wide relaunch.

Nine More Successful Gaming Kickstarters That Didn’t Deliver

The most important thing to look for in a Kickstarter isn’t a cool pitch video or an impressive roster of talent. It’s someone who knows how to manage money. Here, following our look earlier this year at 12 Kickstarter projects that were funded but never came to fruition, are nine more crowdfunded projects that took…

Thanks For The Nightmares, Riot

The old “Lollipoppy” skin was, hands-down, the creepiest thing that Riot ever made for League of Legends. The new enhanced version of Lollipoppy that launched yesterday with the champion’s massive overhaul carries on that fine tradition of haunting your dreams. Thanks to the League of Legends news site Lolking, we’re able to see Lollipoppy’s triumphant…

The Jack The Ripper expansion for Assassin’s Creed Syndicate will be out for PS4 and Xbox One on December 15, a week later on PC, according to publisher Ubisoft. It stars Evie Frye and is set 20 years after November’s very good new AC. Now, what happened to her brother, Jacob? Hmmm.

The Witcher 3 Riddle That Players Couldn’t Quite Solve

Gaunter O’Dimm, one of the stars of The Witcher 3’s expansion Hearts of Stone, is a mysterious dude. Turns out he’s also a sneaky one, hidden so well in the background of the game that even its biggest fans couldn’t find him.

Legion will introduce a new type of creature to World of Warcraft that might be familiar from Diablo III. It’s the Treasure Goblin, or as he’s known here, Treasure Demon.

Multiplayer-Only Games Shouldn’t Cost $60

Lately I’ve been playing a lot of Rainbow Six Siege. It’s really good, but I’m not feeling very optimistic about its long-term prospects. Siege, like any multiplayer game, will only thrive if it can form a lasting community of players. My pessimism regarding its chances to do so is the same pessimism that was eventually…
