[ad_1] The rest of the 9.41 update isn’t quite so daring, but there are still notable editions like a Storm Scout Sniper Rifle that will tell you where the Storm will shrink to next, plus Birthday Cake and Birthday Present pick-ups to mark Fortnite‘s second year on the scene. Creative players will have access to […]

Nintendo faces class action lawsuit over Switch controller ‘drift’
[ad_1] The complaint accuses Nintendo of violating California’s fraud laws as well as state- and federal-level warranty laws. It further accuses the company of misrepresentation, breaching implied warranty and “unjust enrichment.” The attorneys are looking both for monetary damages as well as relief that could include forcing Nintendo to offer better coverage for the issue. […]
‘Fortnite’ winds down season nine with a giant-sized battle
[ad_1] Epic is still finding ways to mark Fortnite‘s season transitions in grand style. The studio just finished a “Final Showdown” event for the end of season nine that interrupted the battle royale with a brawl between a giant monster and an equally massive robot defending humanity. It’s not a spoiler to say the robot […]
‘Streets of Rage 4’ will be scored by an all-star group of composers
[ad_1] They’re not the only prominent names involved, either. You can also expect original music from Jet Set Radio‘s Hideki Naganuma, Kingdom Hearts‘ Yoko Shimomura and Ninja Gaiden‘s Keiji Yamagishi. It’s uncertain just to what degree they’ll be involved. All the same, it’s comforting to know that the fourth Streets of Rage installment will pay […]
Nintendo quietly upgrades the Switch with up to 9 hours of battery life
[ad_1] There aren’t any conspicuous changes to the design or performance. The FCC filings that previewed the new Switch made references to a new processor and storage, but the specs suggest Nintendo was focused on improving efficiency, not frame rates or resolution. About the only external changes are the digits on the outside. If you’re […]
‘Apex Legends’ will pit cheaters against each other
[ad_1] There’s more to it than that, of course. Respawn is working on AI that can detect and auto-ban cheaters, a system that can ban spam accounts before they’re used and a requirement for two-factor authentication in some regions for “high risk” users. Developers are also looking into how people party with cheaters. If you […]
Microsoft is shutting down its internet board and card games
[ad_1] The first ones to lose access will be Windows XP and Windows ME users. For them, compatible games (everything except MSN Go) will vanish in mere days on July 31st, 2019. Windows 7 users will get a bit of a break. They’ll have access to Backgammon, Checkers, Spades and MSN Go until January 22, […]
Blizzard will shut down ‘Overwatch’ matches when it spots cheating
[ad_1] Kaplan noted that the feature is active on PTR (Public Test Realm) servers, although he didn’t say just when you could expect it to reach the general release. Whether or not this approach deters cheaters will depend on its effectiveness. It might not help much if it only flags some sketchy players, or if […]
‘Space Invaders’ movie is closer to becoming a reality
[ad_1] It’s safe to presume the story will be more sophisticated than fending off waves of slowly marching alien hordes. Whether or not it’s any good is another story. Hollywood still has a poor track record for movie adaptations of games, and nostalgia trips centered on classic titles tend to fare badly. There’s also the […]
G2A proposes blocking tool to deal with shady game key resales
[ad_1] The company wasn’t planning to do this without cooperation, though. It said that creating the tool would be “time-consuming and expensive,” and asked for 100 developers to register their interest in the tool by August 15th. This would prevent some scam-based attempts to profit off key sales. With that said, it’s unlikely to satisfy […]
