Cyberpunk 2077 developer CD Projekt Red is warning players of potential exploits that can be executed when using custom saves and mods for the open-world RPG.CD Projekt Red's technical support account on Twitter warned Cyberpunk 2077 players of the issue. The game relies on certain external DLL files, some of which can be altered by mods or save files from third-party sources. This can inadvertently run malicious scripts injected into the files when the game launches, which might put your PC at risk.CD Projekt Red says that it is working on a fix to prevent this from being possible but is asking players to be careful about where they source mods from.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

Cheating is an issue that has plagued Call of Duty: Warzone since its launch. Just last month players were banned from a Twitch Rivals event over cheating accusations that were later recanted. Now, the issue has gotten so bad that several prominent players are calling it quits.YouTuber Vikkstar (aka Vikram Singh Barn) was one of these content creators. In a video on his channel--which boasts over seven million followers--posted at the end of January, Vikkstar explained that while he still occasionally streams Warzone, he won't be making or posting videos about it anymore because the game is in "the worst state it has ever been" due to hackers."Activision isn't addressing how many hackers there are in the game," Vikkstar said in his video. According to the YouTuber, when he was playing before filing this video he ran into a hacker who was live-streaming themselves hacking on Facebook Gaming, and apparently had been for hours with hundreds of viewers. "The playerbase of the game is now so saturated with hackers, you tend to find them in every single lobby."Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

Director Zack Snyder has shared a new image of Jared Leto as the Joker from his upcoming extended cut of Justice League, known as the "Snyder Cut."Snyder himself shared the image on Vero, and you can see it below. It's intentionally fuzzy and quite stylish. In the black-and-white shot, the Clown Prince of Crime is holding his trademark card with a gloved hand. His face is blurred out, but it's enough to see that Leto isn't sporting the exact same look as when we saw him in Suicide Squad.Amazing character you created. Honored to have our worlds collide. @DavidAyerMovies @JaredLeto pic.twitter.com/6FubzkPh4Y — Zack Snyder (@ZackSnyder) February 2, 2021Snyder left Justice League during production to deal with a sudden family tragedy. Avengers director Joss Whedon came in to finish the film, but that version wasn't precisely what Snyder might have aimed for. Snyder is now working on a new edition of the movie with additional scenes, including sequences with Leto as the Joker.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

We've finally gotten a look at Destiny 2's next story development, kicking off on February 9 with the release of the Season of the Chosen. The story is going to bring in Caiatl, the new Cabal empress, and reinvigorates the Cabal threat after Vanguard leader Zavala refuses to ally with Caiatl and bow to the Cabal.The trailer shows off a lot of new stuff, including a new matchmade seasonal activity, new armor and weapons, and new Strikes--well, new to some players, but refashioned for those of us who spent a lot of time in the Cosmodrome in the original Destiny. But the trailer ends on an interesting, spooky note, with the shot of a drifting Cabal ship, voice-over from Osiris that says "There's no Light here," and a brief flash of some creepy-looking creature.The creature only appears in a couple of frames, but slow down the video and you can get a good look at it:Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

The Dark Aether storyline may be a product of its predecessors, but in a new look at the upcoming Firebase Z map for Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War, the Zombies team explained how this part of the Call of Duty universe will be coming into its own.Firebase Z, the map announced last year, is set in Vietnam, and players will be able to explore two separate areas. One is, of course, the firebase where scientists and soldiers carried out experiments and mined dark aether. The other is a village where the scientists slept and did their research. Because of all the scientific equipment lying around, players will be able to interact with some things mechanically, though we'll have to wait until the map drops to see what all is possible.The way you played the game's previous Die Machine mode might not translate into how you take on Firebase Z. Lead level designer Anthony Saunders described the flow and level design of Firebase Z as similar to the Moon, in that you start in the village and eventually take a teleporter over to the firebase itself. Once you arrive at the outpost, there will be a hub of sorts with different paths you can choose from to navigate the area.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

EA Sports has rolled out a new Instagram effect that allows fans to get involved with the drama and excitement of predicting a winner for this year's Super Bowl.The Madden Prediction effect created by EA Sports cycles through a series of scores for the Kansas City Chiefs and Tampa Bay Buccaneers before settling on a final score, with confetti raining down to cap it off. On my first try, I got a score of 56-3 in favor of the Chiefs. I think they have a good chance of winning the game, but that margin seems excessive. It's just a silly game, after all, and you'll probably get something different and potentially more believable.The whole idea, anyway, is to get people to share their results and convince their friends to do the same to drum up interest for EA's eventual official Madden Super Bowl LV prediction. That has yet to be released, but with the Super Bowl coming up very soon, it should happen any day.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

The Elbas will be serving as executive producers.The series--working title Dantai--will be an Afro-futuristic science fiction series.

Eventually, one person from each side of this divide is pitted against one another, in a story that will ultimately "explore equality and kinship within a corrupt society."In a statement made in the series' press release, Joanne Waage, General Manager of Crunchyroll, said that she felt the current generation was exhausted from superheroes and was clamoring for something more.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

When it comes to the Marvel Cinematic Universe, there's a layer of secrecy around the future of the films and TV shows in the franchise, but that layer doesn't just apply to fans. It applies to the people cast for those shows as well. Emma Caulfield plays Dottie on the Disney+ series WandaVision, currently airing on the streaming service. And even getting a role on this show was shrouded in mystery.Caulfield came into the role blind, even after landing it. WandaVision head writer and executive producer Jac Schaeffer asked her to be a part of the series after the two had worked together on the movie Timer. "Once Kevin Feige approved me and I was cleared to go--when I got to Atlanta, a week or two later--then I knew what was going on," Caulfield told GameSpot. "But until that point, [I knew] very little. I didn't even know what period I was in, initially. I just knew it was a period [piece]. But that's it. I knew my name. I knew Dottie, and I knew she was kind of a queen bee. That was all I was told. So once I got to dive in, obviously, I was even more excited."However, Caulfield has had to keep a lot of secrets since production began back in October 2019. "That's a long time to sit with something," she explained.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

Certain Affinity, an independent developer founded by Bungie veterans that has worked as a support studio on various Halo and Call of Duty projects, has announced it's working on a new IP of its own. The Austin, Texas-based outfit confirmed this in a blog post, but unfortunately, the company is not able to share any specifics about the project at this stage."Are we excited to take on a genre and style of game that we've always loved? Thrilled beyond words! Are we honored to be bringing this game to market? Indescribably so! Are there any other tantalizing details regarding this new venture? More than we can say! And we mean that quite literally: the particulars of this new game are still VERY much under wraps," Certain Affinity said. "All we can say for now is that this ambitious new project is the culmination of our goals to steadily and healthily grow a world-class team to create an original IP."Certain Affinity has 250+ employees already at its Texas and Toronto offices, but the company is looking to grow even further. The company has numerous open positions on its careers page for both the new IP and its other co-development projects for AAA games from other studios.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

The 2.02 patch for Valorant aims to start the process of fixing running accuracy, along with shifts to the Competitive system to help ensure players are reaching the proper rank faster while stabilizing the battle for top ranks.One of the first things the patch is touching up is rifle movement accuracy. All rifles now have a much higher amount of error when moving and shooting. This is to help combat the sensation of running kills gained using rifles, and will make getting kills with rifles while moving more difficult (but not impossible if you can get close enough).As far as changes to Competitive mode go, there are a few new things going on. Up first is the MMR to Rank Convergence increase, which will increase your Rank Rating (RR) if your MMR isn't equal to your rank faster. This change should also lead to fewer RR losses per loss as well, and will hopefully help players reach the rank that suits them best in fewer games. Additionally, this patch is introducing a performance bonus for players from Iron to Diamond, which will reward players who perform exceptionally well in a match. The in-game matchmaker has a notion of how it can expect you to play, so if you surpass those expectations you'll be getting some extra RR.To make sure players can't just 5-stack their way to the top, Diamond 3 is now being converted to Solo/Duo. This alongside the changes to Convergence will reduce the total number of games that 5-stacks can play together before being forced into Solo/Duo.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com
