Avengers: Endgame had a lot going on. This isn't news to anyone--the MCU Phase 3 finale was responsible for wrapping up a whole slew of character threads and plotlines as many of Marvel Studios' A-list stars finished their contracts and stepped aside from their decade-long commitments as major characters in the franchise. For some, like Tony Stark, this meant dying in an extremely straightforward way. For others, like Steve Rogers, things were significantly more convoluted.In case you need a refresher, the ending of Steve Rogers' journey in the MCU involved time traveling back to the 1940s to finally get that dance he was promised with Peggy Carter way back in Captain America: The First Avenger. Then, after apparently having led a full life entirely off screen, he comes back to the present to hand off the shield to Sam Wilson and, presumably, either go back to his life in the past or, you know, die or something. We can't really say. Written out in so few words, it might actually sound kind of straightforward--the whole "go back in time to reconnect with a lost love" trope happens on the semi-regular, after all--but Endgame's own internal time travel logic (and Steve Rogers' story through the other six MCU movies he was in before Endgame) provoked some big questions about timeline paradoxes and basic character development.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

Valheim is one of PC gaming's most recent runaway successes, having sold 2 million copies in a little under two weeks since its February 2 launch. But whether or not the early access multiplayer fantasy survival game will eventually come to consoles is a question now on people's minds. Unfortunately, it doesn't appear the game will be coming to consoles like PS5, Xbox Series X|S, or Nintendo Switch anytime soon.According to a FAQ page on Valheim's official website, developer Iron Gate AB mentioned that "there are no plans to release on other platforms" as of the post's writing--which was updated last on January 18, 2021. However, the developer wrapped up its response by confirming that it wouldn't rule out the possibility of console versions in the future.So, if you're hungry to play Valheim but don't own a PC, it looks like you'll have to wait a while. It's also worth noting that--if it ends up coming to consoles--until the game leaves early access, it's unlikely you'll see Valheim come to PlayStation and Nintendo platforms. On the other hand, Valheim could end up on Xbox sooner than later, given that platform's Game Preview program.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

Developer Psyonix has released a new patch for Rocket League. The patch isn't all that big--outside of some bug fixes, the patch really only adds a new two-factor authentication mandate for in-game trading."Starting with v1.93, players that want to participate in player-to-player trading must have [two-factor authentication] enabled on their Epic Games account," Psyonic writes in the full patch notes, which are listed below.With two-factor authentication enabled, you'll have to authenticate your Epic Games account through a separate service, like your cell phone number or personal email, in order to confirm your identity.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

HBO is hard at work on Game of Thrones spinoffs, that much we know. How many and which ones--that question is a bit tougher to answer. HBO's Chief Creative Officer Casey Bloys, though, offered up a bit of new info on what we can expect from the future of Game of Thrones in a new interview with TVLine."We know George [R. R. Martin] has this incredible work with all of this really rich and complicated history and all of these characters," Bloys said. "So we've been trying to be thoughtful about what are the stories that are worth telling. What would be exciting? What would fans love?"We know that HBO is gearing up for full production on the Game of Thrones prequel, House of the Dragon. That story covers the rise of House Targaryen, with King Viserys Targaryen as one of the story's most prominent characters. What else is on tap?Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

While the release of Zack Snyder's Justice League is imminent, another of Snyder's superhero projects is getting another look. Snyder is in the process of remastering Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice to restore it to its IMAX aspect ratio. Snyder confirmed this week that the remaster will be available on Blu-ray and 4K UHD Blu-ray (via ComicBook)."I just approved the Blu-ray box the other day, so for sure it will exist on Blu-ray, and then I think it will exist on HBO Max," Snyder told the I Minutemen YouTube channel in a new interview. "I have to confirm now, but for sure we've been talking about the release. It's meant to, especially for the special edition, it's to replace the one that was kind of messed up a little bit. The Blu-ray, I think, was okay. The 4K was [messed up]."Snyder commented that he'd watched the movie on "Apple movies or wherever it was," and noticed that the "reds were all blocked up." Red blocking and banding are common problems that can be attributed to incorrectly-mastered or compressed source material or to displays that don't have the color depth to show a smooth progression of certain colors, especially in red and black transitions.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

Treyarch has released the latest update for Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War and it affects several different game modes, including standard competitive multiplayer, Zombies, and League Play. If you were participating in League Play this weekend, you may need to think of a new strategy to replace your trusty RC-XD scorestreak.The RC-XD is restricted in League Play, meaning you'll want to come up with a new low-level alternative before you're caught off-guard by this change. Additionally, friendly fire has been changed slightly, converting to ricochet damage after the second team-kill and returning damage toward the attacker. Should you get two more team-kills, you will be kicked from the match. Of course, you're a good, clean player. You weren't killing your own teammates, anyway ... right?Other changes include fixing an issue on the Express map that would let you capture a Hardpoint zone without actually being inside it, and tweaking some UI problems. In Zombies, you also shouldn't be teleported out of the map when others use it in the Village area, nor will you be able to stand on the crafting table. Check out the full patch notes from Treyarch below and make sure you don't miss out on the Double Weapon XP weekend currently running.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

The fantasy survival game Valheim is available in Early Access on Steam right now, and less than two weeks after it became available, the game is already soaring up the Steam charts. As of right now, it has more than 300,000 concurrent players and is beating out the likes of Rust, PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds, and Grand Theft Auto V.In fact, only two games--Steam staples Dota 2 and Counter-Strike: Global Offensive--have more concurrent players on the service. Valheim isn't coming close to hitting those numbers, but getting this many concurrent players on a brand-new game that isn't free-to-play is extremely impressive.A few days earlier, Valheim had already managed to sell one million copies on Steam. That was after just a week, and the game's cooperative focus and excellent user-reviews likely contributed to its massive early success. Of more than 32,000 reviews listed on Steam, 96% are positive. Even for the most popular games, there are often a large number of detractors. Nothing says that can't happen later, but especially for an easy access game, the current ratio is extremely impressive.

Almost everything in the new trailer seems like completely new footage.

However, it appears in what looks to be the Knightmare Batman future. So Jared Leto's slicked-back hair and grilled-out mouth aren't showcased. Instead, we see Leto's Joker with long hair, in a SWAT team vest, with mouth makeup that is a little reminiscent of Heath Ledger's Joker from The Dark Knight. Leto's new Joker take has already been teased once, and more recently, Vanity Fair showcased some non-blurry images of Leto's Joker.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

Destiny 2 is available on a huge number of platforms at this point, including Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, PS4, PS5, PC, and Google Stadia. However, you're currently limited to playing with those on the same platform as you. This used to be the standard for nearly every game, but many modern first-person shooters have started offering crossplay support, such as Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War. Luckily, crossplay is coming to Destiny 2 in the future. But just when is Destiny 2 getting crossplay?When is Destiny 2 getting crossplay?Though Bungie hasn't given a firm date, it said in late January that crossplay would be coming to Destiny 2 later this year.It has been making changes to the game's current systems in order to facilitate this move, including changing recoil to accommodate for those using mouse-and-keyboard control versus a controller. There will almost certainly need to be more changes once the feature is implemented, not only to make things balanced for cooperative events, but also for ensuring the Crucible stays fair.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

The Division 2 released back in 2019 and despite improving nearly everything compared to the first game, including combat, mission structure, and progression, the game underperformed for Ubisoft.
