In September Patch 7 will release publically adding the highly requested feature. A universe of possibilities forBaldur’s Gate 3via mods Even though you can technically download and install mods inBaldur’s Gate 3today, the process is a bit monotonous, especially for those not familiar with modding....

Peepers knows best TheArkhamseries has hit another rough patch after its disastrous PC launch for the last iteration. According to Eurogamer, the delays for the upcoming PS4 and Xbox One remaster package are not only accurate, but have catapulted the game into a November release window. WB confirmed the delay, but Eurogamer’s sources claim it may be pushed even further to “early next year.” Yikes. The reason for the delay? Allegedly the developer of the port is struggling with frame rate issues among other potential quality concerns....

Early 2015 Rounding out the trend of Double Fine gamescoming to Sony’s consolesjust short ofMassive Chalice, which you should all be playing, isBroken Age. It began as the Double Fine Adventure Kickstarter that exploded, the first act came out almost a year ago, and the concluding act is slated forearly 2015. When Act 2 does release on PC, the “complete adventure” will simultaneously release on PS4 and PlayStation Vita. In my head, I’m just havin’ a lil fun pronouncing the “Age” inBroken Ageas ah-gay, like if you were going to make somechicken karaage....

It’ll ship single-player though CD Projekt Red hasn’t yet committed to the structure ofCyberpunk 2077, at least not publicly. The Polish developer is known for making incredible single-player role-playing games likeThe Witcher 3.Cyberpunk 2077might break that mold and test the waters of multiplayer. Today, CD Projekt Red announced a long-term partnership with Digital Scapes, a Canadian studio that describes itself as “specializing triple-A multiplayer consoles and PC development, development tool creation, asset production, and cloud computing....

The remaster is also out now on Xbox One and PS4 Admittedly, I just wanted to write a blurb aboutDarksiders Warmastered Edition‘s launch on PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One to rekindle the life-affirming goof that is#darksiders2. Someone had to! But there’s another, arguably better reason to cover this news: the 4K, 60 frames-per-second remaster is a free upgrade for PC players. Don’t you love when they do that? The offer is valid onSteamandGOG....

We’re going to be hearing it a lot, after all EA Motive has beenchecking in with theDead Spacecommunityahead of the 2023 remake, and its latest update has to do with the all-important Plasma Cutter. Did it sound wrong to you before? If so, you’ll probably appreciate the new audio “modifications.” https://twitter.com/deadspace/status/1514307911299715072 “When we showed you the [Dead Spaceremake] Plasma Cutter and Pulse Rifle not everyone was sold on it, and there were a handful of criticisms that felt they could still be better,”explainedMotive....

A few weeks ago, I held off on a story regarding the lack of Wii U DLC forArkham Origins, as I was waiting on an official statement from the publisher. A few outlets had advertised that “not all platforms” were gettingOriginsDLC, and Amazon had contended that the Wii U was included in the lot, but now, it’s official — the Deathstroke content pack (which allows for use of the character in Challenge Mode, as well as skins and maps) is coming....

Reputation checking made easier Along with theheavy ammo glitch fixandweapon adjustments,Destinywill get another minor improvement — the ability to see reputation rank within the pause menu. Previously you had to go to the Tower and manually check each faction to see how you stood. In terms of content or sidefixes until the heavy ammo glitch patch drops, Bungie has been pretty non-existent. Xur still doesn’t sell heavy ammo synths as a temporary fix, Queen’s Wrath is nowhere to be found, and neither is the Trials of Osiris....

Donkey Kong Barrel Blastis the latest racer for the Wii. If you’re unfamiliar with the backstory, we’ve been promised the game for quite some time – it was actually supposed to be a GameCube title, using the accompanying bongo peripherals. Instead, it’s been being reworked and picked at all this time, and now it’s finally knuckle-dragged onto the Wii, where instead of playing video game bongos, we can now flail video game remote controls....

Ah, the freshness of a new seasonal drop. In a game likeFortnite, where battle passes are generally done right, it’s almost like Christmas. InDiablo 4, it’s currently a nightmare: at least, based on what we’re getting in the first season. Let’s quickly break down why Blizzard fumbled this initial pass so badly. The premium currency situation is bonkers Many games offer premium currency as a reward for finishing up a season pass....

AlthoughDragon Ball FighterZexploded at launch, it’s been enjoying a sort of quiet victory lap for the past year or so. Originally released all the way back in 2018, Arc System Works is still supporting the game with DLC, and eventually added a Switch port into the mix roughly eight months after it arrived. As the newest issue of V-Jump reveals, Arc isn’t done yet. It looks like Ultra Instinct Goku, yet another form of the famous hero, is set to arrive inFighterZ....

Lack of interest cited VentureBeat’s full rundown of the PS4 DualShock 4 controllerrevealed that the analog face buttons do not carry over from the previous controller, the DualShock 3. They’re all digital now. Toshimasa Aoki, the manager at Sony Computer Entertainment’s product planning department, told VentureBeat that while the new buttons feel the same as before, they don’t necessarily behave the same. It seems that the analog button input was cut as it wasn’t used often enough....

What? YES! Tecmo Koei has today announced that a fully online-capable version of its venerableDynasty Warriorsseries,Dynasty Warriors Online, is coming to North America and Europe. The free-to-play online title combines familiar hack n’ slash gameplay with an MMO setting, and it will probably be awesome. Dynasty Warriors Onlinebegan life in 2007 on the PC, but it has never left Japan. The game wasannounced for the PS3last year, but no word of a Western release was given....
