E3 will return in 2021 as a "reimagined, all-virtual" event, organizers announced Tuesday.

Apex Legends Season 9 Promises 'A Ton Of Titanfall' Content
Respawn has done a phenomenal job at ensuring that the Apex Legends experience continues to evolve in a meaningful way. Set within the Titanfall universe, many players have been wondering if the battle royale game would be incorporating more fully with its Titanfall counterpart. Luckily, Apex Legends season 9 promises just that, though we're selfishly hoping that a Titanfall 3 will be coming down the pipeline sooner rather than later.
On Reddit, one player shared a clip with Fuse's "ready" sound that seems directly connected to Titanfall: Fuse's tactical ready sound is from Titanfall, different from other legends. from r/apexlegends
A recent roundtable panel revealed the confirmation fans have been looking for, at least regarding Apex, confirming more Titanfall-inspired content on the way. After saying that players are "going to see a ton of Titanfall coming into Apex in one way or another," the panel continued saying:
“Titanfall is a war story, Apex is life after the war; we’re trying to integrate Titanfall into that. We’re looking at what Titanfall means for this universe. It has lasting impacts that are going to become bigger and bigger.”
Specifics weren't given, but the response has been very mixed. Some have been taking to social media and the game's forum with worries that Titanfall's influence may detract from what makes Apex special, while others are just excited to get more content revolving around the shooter franchise.
One thing is for certain: Respawn has done amazing work. When Apex first launched, the reception was incredible. That being said, it quickly waned with lackluster seasons. That changed a few seasons in, changes that brought a plethora of new characters, new gameplay mechanics, and a fleshed-out ongoing story. It will be interesting to see where the studio takes Apex next, but it looks like the show is nowhere near curtain call. For battle royale fans, that's a good thing.
What do you hope to see from Apex Legends season 9 and the Titanfall content on the way? Sound off with your hopes and dreams in the comment section below.

Outriders Review In Progress
Outriders is a game that isn't defined by big new ideas, but rather a variety of familiar elements mixed together in experimental ways. It's a role-playing game with loot-shooter elements; it's a serious, dark sci-fi outing with a big dose of goofiness and humor; it's a cover shooter that demands you rush out and smash enemies with your ludicrously lethal magic powers. Whether this mixture works for you will determine how much you'll enjoy exploring the war-torn planet of Enoch and the last desperate vestige of humanity clinging to life there.
Outriders blends well-known video game elements into something new and challenging, and while it takes itself seriously, it isn't self-serious. The world of Enoch seems huge and strange, and while the game is literally about the last gasp of the human race that has ripped itself apart, its heavy themes are always lightened up by a general blockbuster goofiness and characters defined by their gallows humor. Your place within it is as an accidental superbeing with space magic powers, and you're mostly just annoyed that irritating people are wasting your time with their gopher chores. It's a fun, self-aware fit.
Though Outriders looks like a live game of the loot-shooter persuasion, it's actually much more Mass Effect 3 than Destiny 2--like Mass Effect, RPG progression and cover-shooting are more the engine of the game than chasing the next new gun. Outriders is, in fact, a cover-shooter RPG with a hearty dose of gear progression, leaning heavily into an epic story told with tons of dialogue, cutscenes, character interactions, and collectible lore.Continue Reading at GameSpot

CW's Powerpuff Casts Nicholas Podany As Mojo Jojo
CW's live-action adaptation of the Cartoon Network's Powerpuff Girls series is gearing up for its pilot, and that means tons of casting news. The latest actor to join the cast is Nicholas Podany The Cursed Child), who will play the live-action version of frequent Powerpuff foe Mojo Jojo, Variety reports.
Podany will play the part of Joseph "Jojo" Mondel Jr., who Variety says was a "nerdy, power-hungry, insecure" kid obsessed with the Powerpuff Girls. Interestingly, there's no word on whether Podany will be getting into a chimp costume for the series or if he'll be simply playing a villain with the same name. By giving him a full name, though, the writers seem to be taking a page from the Jojo's Bizarre Adventure anime, which gives characters names like "Joseph Joestar" and "Kujo Jotaro" and shortens them to "JoJo." It also seems to suggest that he'll be playing the character as human, but that's pure speculation. He could wear some chimp-themed prosthetics, or be all CGI like The Flash's Gorilla Grodd.
The previously-announced cast includes Chloe Bennett (Agents of Shield), Dove Cameron, and Yana Perrault as Blossom, Bubbles, and Buttercup. Donald Faison (Scrubs) will play the part of Powerpuff creator Professor Utonium. The show, titled Powerpuff, will follow the now-grown Powerpuff Girls as they contend with losing their childhood to crime fighting and try to navigate relationships in the wake of that trauma. Of course, something will happen that forces the trio to re-unite.Continue Reading at GameSpot

The Elder Scrolls Online Is Coming To PS5 And Xbox Series X With New-Gen Enhancements
In the shadow of its big Oblivion expansion, The Elder Scrolls Online makes the jump to PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S this summer with the Console Enhanced edition. As the name implies, this updated port takes advantage of the current console’s power by allowing ESO to run natively on those systems, giving the game’s performance and graphical fidelity a big shot in the arm.
The update arrives on June 8 and comes free of charge to those who own the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One versions of ESO. Console Enhanced bumps the game’s framerate from 30 frames per second to 60 while playing in Performance Mode. Fidelity Mode nets you native 4K visuals and 30 fps. According to the official press release, load times have also been cut in half.
ESO’s draw distance has also been nearly doubled across the board, so you can gaze even further out into Tamriel’s horizon. Other graphical perks include improved reflections and shadows, circular depth of field for more realistic background views, as well as high-resolution textures and updated antialiasing. It also sports better ambient occlusion and screen space global illumination for improved lighting.
Click here to watch embedded media
Console Enhanced will launch simultaneously with Update 30 of ESO. The news comes alongside the launch of the Blackwood Prologue, a free standalone story that leads into the year-long Gates of Oblivion event. The chapter is live now, as is a Free Play Event that gives new players free access to ESO’s base content and Vvardenfell zone until April 13.
As a reminder, The Elder Scrolls Online is part of the Xbox Game Pass library. It’s unclear if those who play that version are eligible for the free Console Enhanced update since you’re not technically purchasing it. If so, then that would be one heck of a deal, but I'm sure Bethesda will offer clarification down the line.
Are you excited to play The Elder Scrolls Online on current-gen systems with these enhancements? Share your thoughts in the comments.

It Takes Two review – joyful family adventure for socially distanced duos
Electronic Arts, PS4/5, Xbox One, Xbox Series S/X, PC
Ispired by family-in-peril adventures like Frozen, this engrossing if didactic puzzler uses old-fashioned teamwork to great effect
One of the big cultural stories of lockdown is how friends are staying in touch and having fun through game worlds. The time is right, then, for the latest two-player adventure by the Swedish-Lebanese designer Josef Fares, whose games blend puzzles, synchronised action and emotional narratives into co-op challenges that require more from the participants than simply pulling two levers at the same time.
The story in the Fares-directed It Takes Two is clearly inspired by family-in-peril animated adventures such as Toy Story, Frozen and Madagascar. A young girl is upset that her mum and dad are divorcing and, when she cries on two dolls she has made, her parents’ minds are transferred into these miniature cloth and clay bodies. Guided by a talking relationship self-help book named Dr Hakim, they must work together to get back to their daughter, save their relationship and reverse the spell. It is, in effect, Honey, I Shrunk the Marriage Counselling Session. Continue reading...

Genshin Impact PS5 Announcement Trailer Shows Off 4K Resolution, Faster Loading Times, And More
Sony and the development team over at miHoYo have announced that the PS5 version of Genshin Impact is almost ready to enjoy with a brand new trailer. The latest video for the game shows off the improved features with the next-gen update, including faster loading times, better resolution, and more.
"The PlayStation 5 is an ideal platform to enhance the vast open-world featuring in Genshin Impact, allowing the team to incorporate more thoughts and ideas into the game, both now and in the future," said Forrest Liu, President of miHoYo, in a recent press statement. "That's why we've been working to bring the native PlayStation 5 version of the game to our players as soon as we could."
Click here to watch embedded media
With 4K visuals and fine-tuned performance, this open-world action RPG will create an even better experience for players ready to take on the world of Teyvat. The next-gen update will not change the fact that the game is free-to-play. While there are microtransactions, our own Dan Tack mentioned that their inclusion doesn't impact the way the title can be experienced as many feared.
"Genshin Impact is a whimsical, wondrous land dripping with unbridled charm and appeal, combining a ridiculously compelling reward loop with unfettered, continuous discovery," Tack said in his full review. "In this world, I felt like a child visiting theme park for the first time — dazzled, mesmerized, and completely swept away. I only wish the shimmering glow wasn’t marred by a ghoulish monetization model, but that’s something I’m willing to overlook for my ticket to this fascinating realm."
While the improvements on the way with the next-gen update are exciting, the studio has not confirmed when this update is expected to go live. For now, we have a spiffy new Genshin Impact trailer and a smoother experience on the horizon with the PlayStation 5.

Oculus Quest 2 Has Outsold All Other Oculus Headsets Combined
The Oculus Quest 2 only released last October, but it has already managed to outsell all other Oculus headsets combined.
This news comes via a Bloomberg interview with Facebook Reality Labs vice president Andrew Bosworth, who was asked if the Oculus brand was finally going to be having a "mainstream moment."
"If you look a little closely, I think it's starting to happen right now," Bosworth said. "The fact that Oculus Quest 2--in just a few months on the market--has outsold not just its predecessor, but all of its predecessors combined, is a tremendous indicator that we've now broken through from the early-adopter crowd to an increasingly mainstream crowd."Continue Reading at GameSpot

CD Projekt Red Hopeful About Getting Cyberpunk 2077 Back In PlayStation Store
While Cyberpunk 2077 was removed from the PlayStation store in December 2020, it looks like the game could be on the way back to the digital storefront--provided Sony deems the game fit for a return.
In an investor call, SVP of business development Michał Nowakowski shared (via Kotaku), "We have published several patches. We have just published a really big one yesterday and we have published several hotfixes. Each and every one of them brings us closer to going back to the PSN store. However, the final decision, you have to understand, belongs to Sony. We do believe we're closer than further, but of course, the final call is theirs, so let's wait and see."
It's a vague statement that doesn't put a firm timeline on when we can expect to see Cyberpunk 2077 back on PSN. But at the very least, it seems like CD Projekt Red is hopeful about Cyberpunk 2077's future presence in Sony's digital storefront.Continue Reading at GameSpot

New Assassin's Creed Valhalla Update Doubles Reda's Shop Inventory, Goes Live March 30
Following player feedback, Ubisoft is changing Reda's Shop in Assassin's Creed Valhalla. The update for the shop will go live on March 30 and will make it easier to buy new items without spending all the opals you've discovered.
In Valhalla, Reda joins your settlement upon the completion of securing an alliance with Ledecestrescire. For opals, an in-game currency you can find by exploring the world, Reda will sell you unique weapons, armor, and cosmetics that rotate out of his shop on a weekly basis. Up till now, he'd sell you three new items each week. The March 30 update will increase that number to six.
This update also corresponds to a change in Reda's stock. So starting March 30, you'll have a limited window to purchase six new items. They're listed below:Continue Reading at GameSpot

California COVID-19 Vaccine Site Closing For Two Days For Anime Event
A COVID-19 vaccine site in Northern California will reportedly close this Thursday and Friday to host an anime event, according to The Sacramento Bee. That event will be SacAnime, a gathering for anime enthusiasts taking place at the Roebbelen Center in Roseville, California.
County spokesperson Katie Combs-Prichard told The Sacramento Bee that SacAnime was a "pre-existing event" booked far in advance, and that the vaccine site will extend its hours Monday through Wednesday this week into the evening to "maximize the volume" of doses administered this week, and to attempt to compensate for the closures.
Combs-Prichard also added that 90% of the week's 5,400 appointments at the site were second-dose vaccine appointments, "so closure or not, the impact on first dose appointments available in that time window is not very large." Still, it does not help with the optics as the seasons have been changing and the people have steadily finally been getting their vaccines.Continue Reading at GameSpot

Why The Suicide Squad's King Shark Isn't A Hammerhead Like He Is In The Comics
The Suicide Squad director James Gunn has explained why Sylvester Stallone's King Shark's design in the movie is slightly different than his look from the source material. Writing on Twitter, Gunn confirmed that he did in fact conduct tests with King Shark's original hammerhead design, and he thought he might end up using it. However, the fact that the shark's eyes are so far apart made for some "incredibly awkward shooting interactions" with other characters.
"I did tests with the hammerhead design, which I love & originally thought I'd use," he said. "But having eyes on the sides far apart made it incredibly awkward shooting interactions with other people. You couldn't really see him looking at the other person & the shots tended to be too wide."

Watch Mythic Quest's Ashly Burch And Imani Hakim Test Their Skills In Paper Football, Juggling, And More
Click here to watch embedded media
Mythic Quest: Raven's Banquet is an Apple TV+ comedy that showcases the inner workings of a fictional studio striving to keep its successful MMORPG on top, and it comes from the minds of It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia’s Rob McElhenney, Charlie Day, and Megan Ganz. The first season was an interesting look at the trials and tribulations of game development, using smart comedy to tackle some of its growing issues. Season two is headed our way on May 7 and focuses on the zany game development team returning to the office after quarantine and trying to launch an expansion for their beloved MMORPG. Ian and Poppy are now both co-creators, but can they really work together, or are they destined to butt heads and drive each other crazy?
In anticipation of the new season, two of its stars decided to have some fun to celebrate. Actresses Ashly Burch (Rachel) and Imani Hakim (Dana) play game testers on the show, but they decided to put down their controllers and test more traditional games like paddle ball and cup stacking. Watch them deliver their verdict on these famous pastimes, rating things like "bounciness" and "fun." As expected, a lot of laughter ensues as they try out various activities with varying degrees of success. You can watch the silly antics in the video (that we received as an early exclusive) above, which also features some glimpses and hints at the events of season two. We'll just say, Burch and Hakim have really mastered the art of punching balloons, and it's no surprise that their great chemistry translates so well to the small screen.
What did you think of Mythic Quest's first season? And are you looking forward to season two? Let us know in the comments below.

Loop Hero Review
For all its automated systems, Loop Hero can be incredibly stressful. Battles play out without any input from you, navigation loops over a predetermined path, and resources are collected for you, but that doesn't mean you can take your eyes off the battlefield for even a second. This captivating mix of familiar genres demands constant attention, testing your ability to think well into the future when making your moves. It's a riveting balance of risk and reward wrapped in a deviously challenging roguelite that will tempt you into pushing forward for just one more round.
Loop Hero is a distinct mish-mash of multiple genre ideas, none of which influence gameplay enough to easily classify the overall gameplay experience. Loop Hero is primarily a run-based role-playing game in which you indirectly control a hero through procedurally generated loops. Instead of controlling the hero's movements, you mainly control what they encounter by placing objects on the loop that create the world--things like cemeteries that can spawn skeletons, villages that can heal you, or swamps that generate nasty mosquitos. These are provided by cards that you draw from a limited deck which you can edit between runs, letting you curate each one to a degree. And while your hero automatically navigates in circles and resolves fights with enemies without any inputs, you also manage their inventory carefully to deal with the increasing challenges that each new round trip brings.Instead of controlling the hero's movements in Loop Hero, you control what they encounter on the loop.
Ultimately, Loop Hero challenges you to balance risk and reward by keenly considering all the options your current cards give you to make your next loop challenging, but not deadly. Each run is an opportunity to gather resources you use to expand your camp in the hub world, unlocking new cards, classes, and abilities to use on subsequent runs. Enemies drop specific resources that you'll need to further progress outside of each expedition, giving you incentives to place multiple groves for wild, mutated dogs or dimly lit houses that can spawn bloodthirsty vampires on tiles around them. With each new addition to the loop, you're also extending the time it takes to make a trip around it, which directly affects spawn rates of enemies that are tied to a persistent day-night cycle. While a tile might seem harmless when it's only adding one enemy to the loop every day, it can become dangerous when the route is stuffed to the point where an entire group might be waiting the next time you make it around again.Continue Reading at GameSpot

Animal Crossing Adds Whoopee Cushions, And They Make Several Different Toots
Animal Crossing: New Horizons players can grab another new seasonal item for a limited time. To celebrate April Fool's Day, whoopee cushions are available to order from Nook Shopping until April 1. The item costs 400 bells and will be available in different colors each day.
As you'd expect, the whoopee cushion makes various tooting sounds when sat on, ranging from a hearty "blrmph" to a more discreet "pfft." We tested the item out, and the staff was impressed by the range and volume of noises it produces. "Wow that's more aggressive than I expected," GameSpot's Chris Pereira said upon hearing the whoopee cushion. You can listen to it for yourself in the clip below.

To get your own whoopee cushion, access the Nook Shopping catalog either from your NookPhone or the Nook Stop terminal in your Resident Services building and open the Special Goods menu. The whoopee cushion will be listed within under the Seasonal tab. As previously mentioned, the colors will rotate out each day, so you'll need to check back daily if you want the full set.Continue Reading at GameSpot

This NBA 2K21 Lego Build Uses 42,000 Pieces To Create Zion Williamson
The famous Lego brick-builder Ryan McNaught AKA The Brickman has turned his attention to the NBA 2K series for his latest creation--and it's darn impressive.
McNaught and his team used around 42,000 Lego bricks to build a "true-to-size" recreation of NBA superstar Zion Williamson, who is the cover star of NBA 2K21's next-gen edition. In real life, Williams is 6' 7", so he is a very, very large man.
McNaught said in a statement that the most difficult part of his build was getting Williamson's pose correct.Continue Reading at GameSpot

Hori's New Monster Hunter Joy-Con Controller Looks Freakin' Awesome
One of the best Nintendo Switch controllers is undoubtedly the Hori Split Pad Pro, and it just got an awesome new design. In celebration of Monster Hunter Rise's release, Hori is releasing a themed version of its Joy-Con alternative. The Monster Hunter Split Pad Pro is $60 and releases April 26, a month after the game. It features a gorgeous design featuring the new Magnamalo monster done in a Japanese ink painting style.
Monster Hunter Rise Hori Split Pad Pro
$60
Acting as a Joy-Con alternative, the Split Pad Pro slides directly into the rails of the Nintendo Switch and provides players with two full-sized analog sticks, a more traditional D-pad, and two programmable back buttons. The face and shoulder buttons are all bigger, making it feel much more like a proper console controller than the Switch's Joy-Cons. The official Monster Hunter Pro controller is sold out everywhere, so this is a nice alternative to that--though they can't be used wirelessly. See at Amazon
Another cool feature of the Hori Split Pad Pro is the ability to turn Turbo on, which makes it so each button press triggers multiple inputs and holding them triggers rapid fire. And while the Hori Split Pad Pro's size is quite large, you are still able to slide the Nintendo Switch into its dock while using them.
Because of the Split Pad Pro's bigger controls, it's bound to work well with Monster Hunter Rise. The upcoming action game received a 9/10 in GameSpot's Monster Hunter Rise review-in-progress. Critic Richard Wakeling wrote, "The moment-to-moment combat is as impeccable as it's ever been and puts Rise on a pedestal as one of the feathers in the Nintendo Switch's cap."Continue Reading at GameSpot
