One of the biggest Japanese video game developers of the past decade is Platinum Games. While the team has been far from quiet, announcing titles such as The Wonderful 101 Remastered and Project G.G., many fans have been waiting with baited breath for updates from their titles already in development, Babylon’s Fall and Bayonetta 3. While Bayonetta 3 was announced during The Game Awards in 2017 and has not had any sort of major update since, Babylon’s Fall was announced during Square Enix’s E3 2018 digital event, and gameplay was first revealed at Sony’s December 2019 State of Play....

Coming from Sonic the Hedgehog co-creators Yuji Naka and Naoto Ohshima, as well as a collective of developers and designers known as Balan Company, Balan Wonderworld looks like it will capture a similar vibe to Sonic Team’s more obscure titles, like Billy Hatcher and NiGHTS Into Dreams....

If you’re looking for the most professional sound capture for your streaming, recording, voice-over or content-creator efforts, then an XLR microphone is the way to go. These types of microphones offer a better sound quality than cheaper USB microphones, but they require a pre-amp in order to power them and hook them up to your computer. This makes this a more expensive and complicated route to go down, but it also results in a far superior sound....

Bethesda’s biggest franchises, The Elder Scrolls and Fallout, have received praise over the years from critics and fans alike for the solid single-player, open-world game adventures they provide. While the single-player experiences are responsible for making household names of these two series, Bethesda has shown that they’re not afraid to convert their single-player games into a multiplayer experience either, introducing The Elder Scrolls Online in 2014. While Bethesda hasn’t announced a similar MMO for the Fallout series, it turns out that they aren’t completely against the idea of a Fallout multiplayer game....

Both Cranston and Paul have been game to join the cast for a short appearance, but the years just keep going by without any tangible proof that anything will come to fruition....

In a matter of days, gamers will get their hands on Mass Effect: Andromeda, the long-awaited follow-up to the trilogy of games released between 2007 and 2012. However, some fans have wondered why BioWare chose to pursue Andromeda instead of Mass Effect 4 — and now the series’ creative director, Mac Walters, has offered up an answer. BioWare was in attendance at PAX East over the weekend, discussing the dialogue system that’s featured in Andromeda among other topics....

BioWare is a company known for massive franchises like Mass Effect, Dragon Age, and Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic, but those popular series may have been brought to an early end. While speaking at HavenCon, select members of the Dragon Age 2 team painted a bleak picture for BioWare about 10 years ago. The panel, consisting of former Mass Effect lead writer Patrick Weekes, lead editor Karin Weekes, and former Dragon Age writer David Gaider, talked about how Electronic Arts’ acquisition of BioWare prevented the studio from going bankrupt....

Bloodborne’s Eileen the Crow is one of the most mysterious NPCs in an already super mysterious game. She’s also one of the most important, though, as you’ll see if you dive into her hidden depths with us. If you’re just starting to find your bearings in the dark and foreboding world of Yharnam, you may have stumbled across a figure clad in a beak mask and feathery outfit and wondered who the heck she is....

Blood Gems are one of the more confusing aspects of Bloodborne. The game doesn’t have that many weapons, but since every weapon has two forms and multiple slots for Blood Gems, the weapons system is deeper than you may first realize, and the magic tools are fun as well. Every right-handed weapon in the game has three slots for Blood Gems. Two are for Radial Gems, making them by far the most important for a standard playthrough or beginner PvP....

Arguably the pioneer of the looter shooter genre, Borderlands is one of the most influential FPS titles of the past decade. The inclusion of randomly generated guns and RPG-like skill trees have shown shooter fans the fun of dungeon crawlers like Diablo. Many manufacturers in the Borderlands series have gimmicks to help set the bazillions of guns apart from each other. While the likes of Maliwan love elemental damage, there are others who create more precise weaponry....
