With luck, this issue has now been fixed, as Microsoft says it has been addressed in the most recent Xbox system update....

What has Majima gotten himself into this time? He’s sat next to a girl, who’s sat directly opposite her father. “I told you he had an eyepatch,” she’s telling him. “And a ponytail, and that he gives off this intense aura of death.” Dad’s not bothered about the missing eye or the vague scent of murder, though. He just doesn’t believe this is the guy his daughter is dating. If you asked me how many people in Osaka fit the Majima bill, I’d say zero with almost outlandish confidence....

It’s been a weird week for video game crossovers; San Diego Comic-Con shed light on a ton of ambitious projects from various pop culture realms, but one of the strangest things to be quasi-confirmed is the weirdly robust amount of Terminator DLC coming to multiple games in the near future. To be fair, most of this has been public knowledge for a little while, but it’s still a little strange to suddenly see the menacing, metallic face of the T-800 take the internet so suddenly by storm....

Gamers who were longtime fans of Black Isle Studio’s Fallout series were displeased by the unpleasant news in the early 2000s. The groundbreaking series was sold from Interplay and obtained by Bethesda. They changed the isometric gameplay to 3D and opened up the series to new players. Fallout had gone from a little-known cult classic to an AAA series beloved by millions. Though fans of the older series grumbled about the changes Bethesda made, everyone can agree that bringing the series into a 3D environment increased the game’s potential....

For a straight decade, the Call of Duty franchise has churned out a major title every year. In recent years these titles have been announced shortly before E3. According to Activision community manager Dan Amrich, 2013 will follow suit. In a recent YouTube video Amrich revealed that a new title will soon be announced for current and next-gen systems - meaning PS4 and, “whatever Xbox is working on.” Alongside the announcement of a new Call of Duty, gaming enthusiasts can also look forward to upcoming next-gen Xbox announcements expected from Microsoft, which could happen as early as May....

Leaks and rumors continue to swirl around Call of Duty 2020, especially since nary a peep was heard about it at the recent Playstation 5 game reveal event. No news about the next main-line Call of Duty game this late into the year is practically unprecedented, but it will almost certainly launch some time this year to capitalize on the momentum of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare, which is arguably the most popular CoD game yet....

This Star Wars: The Mandalorian article contains spoilers. No character captured the spotlight in last week’s episode of The Mandalorian quite like Admiral Jeff Blue-Jeans, who literally stole the scene when an eagle-eyed viewer caught him in the background of an action sequence in “The Siege.” If you missed it the first time around, the cunning admiral can be seen in the bottom left corner of a shot, scheming while Greef Karga (Carl Weathers), Cara Dune (Gina Carano), and Mando fight off a platoon of stormtroopers inside the Imperial base on Nevarro....

Blizzard provides details for the upcoming World of Warcraft Patch 7.2, called The Tomb of Sargeras, which will include a new raid and many more activities for players.

With this year marking the 10th anniversary of BlizzCon, it’s fitting that the developer would have something special to share with World of Warcraft players....

Many look at Microsoft’s Xbox Game Pass as partially responsible for the end-of-cycle success the Xbox One has seen. Game Pass could even keep the Xbox Series X momentum going, but focusing on the now is equally rewarding.

The Xbox One has had one of the most rocky roads to launch in the history of gaming. It is nearly six months since the console was revealed to vast criticism and one of the most tumultuous introductions of any gaming console ever. That is why it is remarkable that the console is coming to shelves competing with Sony’s PlayStation 4 with an entirely revamped strategy. A lot of things have changed since that fateful night in Redmond with the console’s awfully handled DRM policy and an always-watching Kinect having been extracted from the console....

As this console generation begins to wind down, both Sony and Microsoft have begun briefly mentioning details about the upcoming PlayStation and Xbox hardware, which are expected to release in the next year. With the rise of subscriptions and streaming services, however, the future beyond the next generation has been brought into question, with some wondering if physical hardware will continue to be a necessity. With respect to Microsoft, and its upcoming Project Scarlett, the company plans to not let the rise of new services disrupt its vision for the future of gaming....

In a statement to CNET, Xbox’s Phil Spencer noted that Microsoft currently plans for Bethesda to operate semi-independently despite the fact that they were one of the ZeniMax Media studios acquired in a recent deal. “It is about the culture of those teams,” said Spencer of Bethesda. “They’re not about becoming us.” While Spencer does not elaborate on how, exactly, Microsoft and the Xbox team will treat Bethesda in regards to official requests and other procedural matters, everything that we’ve heard so far seems to indicate that the plan is for Bethesda to pretty much function as they would have prior to this acquisition....

The American state of Montana is big. Properly big. So big that we Brits can’t quite grasp how very big it is. The setting for Paramount ranch drama Yellowstone bleeds outside the page gutters of the UK mind. The US state is so many times bigger than a double decker bus or Wales that it needs a totally different scale. To really appreciate its size would require a lengthy explanation video by Professor Brian Cox involving a Rowntree’s Fruit Pastille, a snooker ball, and The O2....

Red Faction: Guerilla is set to return as a remastered edition. A Red Faction: Guerrilla Re-Mars-tered Edition, if you will. No, that’s not a pun. Well, it is a pun, but it’s also the remastered edition’s proper name. Continuing the time-honored tradition that brought you such remasters as Darksiders 2: Deathinitive Edition and Darksiders: Warmastered Edition, THQ Nordic are hard at work creating a remastered Red Faction: Guerilla, the 2009 classic that convinced a generation of gamers that blowing up everything is the solution to all of life’s problems....
