With the arrival of DC Fandome, the huge WB digital fan convention, comes an onslaught of news, trailers, exclusives, and reveals, starting with a new trailer for Wonder Woman 1984. There’s plenty to pick apart here with big Cheetah moments and some teases of the maniacal Maxwell Lord, but the biggest shock is the confirmation that Steve Trevor (Chris Pine) has somehow survived being shot down by Doctor Poison’s henchmen at the climax of the first Wonder Woman movie, and even stranger the fact that he too apparently hasn’t aged....

An aggressive card game based on the adorable heavy metal fox Aggretsuko is coming this year. Fans can pre-order it now, but at the moment it’s only available in the United States. Most people can relate to the grind of a 9-5 gig. Somedays you just want to scream, and that relatable sentiment is expressed in hilarious form through Sanrio’s Aggretsuko character. Unlike Hello Kitty and the other Sanrio cuties, Aggretsuko is known for harboring rage underneath her petite exterior....

WWE 2K has teased a big announcement will take place at WrestleMania 37 this weekend, which will likely mark the return to its main series of games. WWE 2K tweeted a teaser message this week telling video game-playing wrestling fans they’ll want to pay close attention to WrestleMania this weekend.

With Xbox going into the next generation of consoles as the runner-up to Sony, it’s facing a lot of often unnecessary questioning. One such example being criticism of Microsoft’s choice to continue supporting the Xbox One generation after the Xbox Series X launches through scaling graphics. Xbox boss Phil Spencer, ever communicative, recently addressed this specific topic. Speaking with GamesIndustry.biz, Spencer dismisses this criticism entirely. In response to whether Xbox’s studios will be “held back” because games will scale across game generations, Spencer says " ‘held back’ is a meme that gets created by people who are too caught up in device competition....

The Xbox Game Pass service has provided a ton of content to those who pay the fee for a subscription, with new games added on the regular. However, as games are routinely added to its catalog, others are typically removed for some amount of time, which will include some fairly big titles this time around. While Xbox Game Pass will soon be getting Gears Tactics, it will lose some significant titles on April 30....

In a confusing turn of events reminiscent of the disorientation surrounding the PS5 pre-order sales, the Xbox Series X/S sales faced their own lack of clarity today when preorders started. The Xbox Series X sales have proved to be very confusing for multiple would-be buyers, and one reason is that some people are simply getting two different console generations mixed up. Tons of people went online today to try and pre-order their own Xbox Series X, but many people came away disappointed both with the overwhelmingly high demand and with technical glitches on overloaded websites....

It looks like Xbox Series X owners should be getting excited for big updates coming to the platform this year. In an official Xbox podcast, top developers give some insight into the various changes coming for players this year. Toward the end of 2020, a new generation of Microsoft’s flagship console released to the public. The devices have taken the world by storm, with Xbox Series X/S stock shortages continuing in 2021....

Xbox was a big missing figure at The Game Awards in late 2022 - something that drew a little negative attention given the significant titles it’s working on that are meant to release this year. Pretty soon after the awards show had ended, senior figures at Xbox started saying that gamers could expect to learn more about its upcoming games very soon - something that’s now looking closer than ever....

The Xbox (Beta) Store on PC is adding mod support, albeit in a very limited manner. Since the platform launched, its users have requested mod support for games, and though Microsoft promised that it would come eventually, there was no word on when. This seems to be the first step in that direction. Xbox gamers can use the Xbox (Beta) Store to play their Xbox Games Pass games on PC, but until now mods were completely unusable....

After the release of the Xbox Series X and Series S in November, along with the newly refined Xbox controller, Xbox debuted the new Xbox Wireless Headset in February, which sold out quickly on the Microsoft Store. With such a successful reveal of the Xbox Wireless Headset, Xbox would like to know what products customers want next. The $99 Xbox headset is designed to enhance 3D audio and feature clear microphone sound, with dual beamforming microphone elements for quality noise cancellation....

While easily missed considering how much other information was crammed in, there was indeed a brief Fantastic Four tease at the end of Marvel’s new sizzle reel. The pandemic has resulted in Marvel fans having to go the longest they have had to go without an MCU movie since the saga began with Iron Man in 2008. However, on July 9, 2021, that prolonged wait comes to an end when Black Widow hits Disney Plus and theaters at the same time....

It won’t be long now before Zack Snyder’s director’s cut of Justice League is finally viewable for the fans who campaigned so hard to make it a reality. While the original Justice League was finished by Joss Whedon and panned by critics upon release (though it does still hold a positive audience score on Rotten Tomatoes), Snyder hopes that returning to the project will create something that satisfies the hardcore fanbase that still believes in the project....

What Does Non-Persistent Desktop Mean? A non-persistent desktop is a desktop where nothing gets saved at the end of the user session. Any files that have been saved on the desktop, settings or shortcuts are all lost at the end of the session.

Stream processing as a way of optimizing data flow is popular with tech firms, for example, in use by social media platforms like Facebook and Twitter, but it is also useful in a wider spectrum of tech uses where companies want to direct data flow in a more precise or specialized way, for instance, in IaaS and PaaS offerings, or in various types of ERP resources....

If you’re in the market for rare art, seeing Redd’s rickety-looking boat docked on the far shore of your island is probably a welcome sight. You’ve waited all week, and now you can finally overpay for a faux Rembrandt that Blathers won’t display in the museum. Like every Animal Crossing title, New Horizons’ NPCs are a huge part of the game. But the seemingly random schedule by which vendors and other NPCs appear is irksome to players who wish to chart out their gameplay or plot their next purchase....

In a blog post yesterday, Sony revealed the design and features of the Playstation 5 controller, which seems to be missing a key component. The new controller, called the DualSense, will feature haptic feedback, adaptive triggers, and a built-in microphone…but no back buttons. It isn’t totally surprising, given Sony’s reluctance to keep up with trends in gaming peripherals, but it is disappointing all the same. This past December, Sony released an attachable back button for the DualShock 4....
