We’re nearly a month away from Resident Evil 2’s launch, and Capcom has ramped up marketing for the game considerably with plenty of screenshots, gameplay previews, trailers, and more. The company has also revealed some more information about Resident Evil 2, including whether or not the upcoming game will feature any new monsters not seen in the original 1998 release. As recently revealed by Capcom, the Resident Evil 2 remake will not have any new monsters in the game....

PlatinumGames, the Japanese studio responsible for the Bayonetta series, and which partnered with Square Enix to develop Nier: Automata, has revealed its next game - World of Demons. The announcement trailer, released earlier this week, showcased the game’s artistic style which evokes direct parallels to the 2006 game, Okami. Okami was developed by Clover Studio in partnership with Capcom, and when that studio was closed down, three of the key developers who had worked on Okami; Shinji Mikami, Atsushi Inaba, and Hideki Kamiya, were among those who founded Platinum Games....

Board game publisher Days of Wonder has joined forces with Blizzard to return World of Warcraft to the world of cardboard with Small World of Warcraft, a board game re-implementation of the original Small World that released in 2009. Releasing in North American and Europe sometime around mid-2020, the game allows 2-5 players to meet face-to-face and clash for control of Azeroth. Days of Wonder has taken the original game structure and incorporated exclusive new artwork to bring the Warcraft universe to life....

We already know a lot about the upcoming World of Warcraft expansion, Shadowlands, but one important piece of information has been missing: the release date. Now, thanks to Blizzard’s Gamescom announcement, we finally know that we can enter the strange and intriguing Shadowlands on October 27, 2020. At Gamescom, Blizzard premiered Afterlives Bastion, the first in a series of four animated shorts about the new covenants in World of Warcraft Shadowlands before revealing the release date alongside a short and sweet trailer showing off the best of the upcoming expansion....

Ever since its release a little less than a week ago, it’s safe to say that a sizeable portion of players have been diving into World War Z’s Left 4 Dead-styled gameplay, as the game just recently passed one million copies sold across its supported platforms of PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One. With this sales success under its belt, it looks as if the developer Saber Interactive is preparing to move forward with extra content for WWZ’s myriad players by adding a new mission and monster as DLC in the future....

Gamescom 2020 is in full swing, and developers are stepping up to show players their A game. Today, KT Racing Studio showed off WRC 9, which will be its most realistic racing game to date. Simulating real-world physics in any game is a challenge, and programmers have been trying to make cars work as expected for a long time. The 9th World Rally Championship has advantages over its predecessors in raw computing power thanks to improved hardware developed for next-gen consoles, which it needs to accurately recreate vehicle physics....

Disney has officially announced a sequel to Wreck-It Ralph that will take Ralph and Vanellope to the Internet and the world of online gaming. The sequel, dubbed Ralph Breaks the Internet: Wreck-It Ralph 2, will be directed by Rich Moore and Phil Johnston and is expected to hit theaters March 2018. Shortly after the movie was announced, Johnston shared some thoughts about the movie, including the vast opportunities available in the upcoming video game movie sequel....

WWE 2K Battlegrounds has arrived, and with it comes over the top gameplay and vicious takedowns. WWE 2K Battlegrounds is amusing and chaotic, mixing in its WWE cast of wrestlers with cartoony moves that cannot quite be pulled off in real life. The finishers can be the highlight of a match, and executing one in-game can help in assuring victory. Signature moves, that WWE fans may recognize, like Randy Orton’s RKO and Hulk Hogan’s Leg Drop are referred to as finishers in the game, and they can do major damage to opponents....

As part of a spring sales promotion, Microsoft announces plans to temporarily sell the Xbox One for $300, and discount various digital Xbox One and Xbox 360 games. Anyone in the market to purchase a new Xbox One system should hold off on buying one for a couple of days. That’s because Microsoft has announced that the company will be temporarily discounting the Xbox One from $350 to $300 beginning March 20th....

Microsoft announces a brand new console bundle that allows gamers to get four top-tier games and a 1 terabyte console, plus another free game if purchased via Microsoft. Spring is in the air, and it seems like Microsoft just can’t get over the spirit of Spring Sales. The company already put a temporary price cut on the Xbox One console, which dropped the base price from $350 to $300. This price cut is still in effect until the end of April, and now Microsoft has announced that it is releasing another brand new Xbox One console bundle which will net gamers plenty of bang for their buck....

Through four seasons, Yellowstone has spoken to audiences because of its vision of the American dream. It’s about family. It’s about building a dynasty. It’s about the most beautiful collection of powerful women and denim-clad cowboys in the entire United States. The only other aspect of Paramount Network’s massive Neo-Western drama that could overshadow the collective beauty of the cast, is the scenic beauty of Montana, where the show takes place....

Want to know how to play the VR-exclusive Half-Life: Alyx without a VR headset? You’re in luck - someone out there has already figured out how. This comes just one week after the official release of Alyx, which requires a VR headset (either the Steam Index, HTC Vive, Oculus Rift, or Windows Mixed Reality) in order to play. Well, that’s what Valve originally intended, anyway. Knowing gamers, however, it was inevitable that a way around this would be cobbled together (one of the Valve devs literally said so himself), but it does seem like record timing in this case....

During the 2020 United States presidential election, many viewers turned to alternate sources of coverage. Networks like ABC News, CBS News, CNN, and Fox provided around the clock coverage of the election, but streaming sites like YouTube and Twitch experienced increased viewership during election week. On election day, viewers watched a total of 50.7 million hours of coverage across Twitch and YouTube. Twitch is a streaming platform that features many categories, but is primarily used for video games....

The livestreaming market is tough to be competitive in when one platform has already taken hold of an overwhelming share of the market. Twitch remains dominant while YouTube and Facebook Gaming try to draw more content creators over with exclusivity agreements. Mixer couldn’t stay afloat, and that was the biggest competitor to Twitch at the time of its demise. YouTube is trying to raise the profile of its livestreaming program by adding new features....

During Saturday’s (August 22) panel launching the official first teaser for the Snyder Cut of Justice League, director Zack Snyder hinted during one exchange that the character of Cyborg, a.k.a. Victor Stone (Ray Fisher), would be “the heart” of the movie. Snyder brought on several of the stars of the movie, including Gal Gadot (Wonder Woman), Henry Cavill (Superman), Ben Affleck (Batman), Ezra Miller (Flash), and Ray Fisher (Cyborg). Each of the actors read a fan question tailored for the most part to their particular character, with Snyder doing his best to make it seem as if the actors’ clearly pre-taped remarks were live....

Alex Winter’s musical documentary Zappa is a fun movie which frames Frank Zappa the way he should be, as a hero. While this may ring particularly true for fans of the original Mother of Invention, the film is also a must-see for anyone who plugged in a guitar, banged drums, pounded a piano, ruined their teeth on clarinet reeds, or waited for their triangle part to come up in a Julliard School of Music chamber ensemble....

What Does Bootcfg Mean? Bootcfg is a utility command used in the Recovery Console on Microsoft NT-based operating systems such as Windows NT, 2000, XP and Server 2003 installations. It is used to rebuild or add parameters to the existing Boot.ini file, which contains the OS choices during startup in the case of a multi-boot system environment where the user may choose which OS to boot every time the computer starts....

Apex Legends had a ridiculously hot start earlier this year, but has significantly cooled down as of late. While the game was incredibly popular, a lack of updates caused the fanbase to slowly lose interest with the game, and it’s no longer the juggernaut that it once was. Of course, we can’t really blame Respawn for not wanting to overwork their employees in order to get more Apex content, but even so, a lack of variety has definitely hurt the game’s popularity....

Warner Bros. is finally planning to bring Henry Cavill back as Superman, and according to a recent report, they have an “intense desire” to make a movie “that would essentially be Man of Steel 2.” So basically, exactly what they should have done in the first place. But hey, the past is the past, right! Onward and…well, let’s say “up, up, and away” instead! Of course, a lot has changed since Man of Steel was first released in 2013, not just for Warner Bros....
