After a deluge of complaints and comments from Doom Eternal players, Id Software is planning to remove the recently implemented Denuvo Anti-Cheat in the game's next update.Doom Eternal executive producer Marty Stratton broke down the decision in a post to the Doom subreddit on Wednesday, saying that "feedback from players has made it clear that we must re-evaluate our approach to anti-cheat integration."Id Software's first update for Doom Eternal brought a number of changes, including Denuvo Anti-Cheat, which uses a kernel-mode driver that can access your operating system. While patch notes tried to quell player concerns, the community was not happy with Id Software's decision to add what they consider an invasive anti-cheat tool. Player reactions since the update have been severe, including many negative reviews on Steam.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

Even more than not getting to try any of that Szechuan sauce, Rick and Morty fans have long had one frustration in common: the fact that it takes ages for new Rick and Morty episodes to come out. Series co-creators Dan Harmon and Justin Roiland have gone on record about their disagreements and lengthy iteration process many times, and even said last year that the long delays between Rick and Morty seasons are a thing of the past. And yet, they weren't even able to get Season 4 done in time last year; only half a season aired in 2019, with the back five episodes currently arriving weekly, six months later.It's a relatable problem: Rick and Morty fans want more Rick and Morty! Rick and Morty is so good that no amount of it will ever be enough. There's no easy solution to that problem--until now. Look no further than Solar Opposites, the new show by Roiland and Rick and Morty writer and producer Mike McMahan.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

A year after the series finale of Game of Thrones, two of the show's stars are reuniting for a project, but this one's quite a bit different from their previous work together. Peter Dinklage and Jason Momoa have signed on to star together as a vampire and a vampire hunter in an action-adventure movie, according to a new report.The news comes from Deadline, which reports Dinklage will play legendary vampire hunter Van Helsing in the upcoming movie Good Bad & Undead. In the film, he forms an uneasy alliance with Momoa's character, a vampire that has vowed never to kill again. The two venture from town to town, scamming locals by having Van Helsing act as though he's killing the vampire for money. Ultimately, an actual bounty is put on the vampire's head and the two end up on the run in a magical world of monsters.Max Barbakow (Palm Springs) is set to direct from a script by Damian Shannon and Mark Swift (Baywatch, Freddy vs. Jason). "We're so excited about this one. Who doesn't want to see Peter Dinklage as Van Helsing and Jason Momoa as a vampire?! This is dream casting," the writing duo said in a tweet. "We'll never stop fighting to get original stories made. We think you're gonna love what we are all cooking up. Hopefully more news soon!"Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

However, they might not all release.

The Last of Us: Part II will feature level designs that are even more open than in the first game, and due to this, there could be "entire story moments" and scripted sequences you might miss. Co-game director Anthony Newman revealed this in the newest Inside the Gameplay video for The Last of Us: Part II."In this game we've gone so far in making the level design open that there are actually entire story moments, entire combat encounters, full scripted sequences that you may completely miss," Newman said. "And there are things that we feel like, even though a portion of our player base may never see these things, the fact that when you do encounter them, you feel like you discovered them, it lends them this charm and this magic, 'I think is unique to games that this happened to me, because of what I did and the place I explored to.'"Elsewhere in the video, writer/director Neil Druckmann said The Last of Us: Part II aims to heighten the feeling of being a survivor. You play as Ellie in the sequel, and she is smaller and more nimble than Joel, the protagonist of the first game. Ellie may not always be the strongest person in the room, but she is capable of fighting bigger, stronger enemies thanks to her unique skills and quickness.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

System Shock 3, which was announced back in 2015, but has faced a rocky road since then, and for a while the game's future was unclear. While Otherside Entertainment has been working on the game for some time, and brought on System Shock lead designer Warren Spector to help craft the sequel, reports of layoffs within the studio painted a worrying picture. Now, however, it's clear that System Shock 3 will be moving forward, but with a new studio involved.On Twitter, OtherSide Entertainment has announced that Tencent--the Chinese holding company with several major investments in multiple game developers and publishers--is coming on board to assist. Tencent will "be taking the System Shock franchise forward", according to the developer--although what this means, exactly, is unclear. A follow-up tweet suggests that the company will be assisting the development team, which has struggled with the game's scale.1/2 We are happy to announce that Tencent will be taking the #SystemShock franchise forward. — OtherSide Entertainment (@OtherSide_Games) May 20, 20202/2 As a smaller Indie studio, it had been challenging for us to carry the project on our own. We believe Tencent's deep capabilities and expertise as a leading game company will bring the franchise to new heights. — OtherSide Entertainment (@OtherSide_Games) May 20, 2020Furthermore, Nightdive Studios CEO Stephen Kick has taken to Twitter to affirm that Nightdive still owns the System Shock IP--meaning that any reports that Tencent is its new owner are false. Nightdive was previously working on a remaster of the original System Shock, but the status of that game is currently unclear. An enhanced edition of System Shock 2 is also in the works at the studio.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

A racing game cockpit manufacturer with ties to PlayStation might have accidentally revealed the logo for a new Gran Turismo game. Furthermore, the social media post showing the logo suggests a 2020 release date.The post in question, which was made across Twitter (below), Facebook, and Instagram, asks followers: "What racing game are you most looking forward to in 2020?" Many comments have jumped upon the GT 7 logo, as Gran Turismo 7 has not been officially announced or unveiled yet. The other games in the tweet--Dirt 5, Automobilista 2, and F1 2020--are all confirmed.What racing game are you most looking forward to in 2020? pic.twitter.com/08tBJwGTZL — Next Level Racing (@nextlvlracing) May 20, 2020Before we get ahead of ourselves, this is not confirmation of Gran Turismo 7, per se. However, the manufacturer has a working relationship with Sony--the GT Track PlayStation edition is an officially licensed PlayStation product. Searching across numerous fan mock-ups, we could not find a logo matching this one--although it's possible that the social media team at Next Level Racing is being speculative, and has created this logo internally.Polyphony Digital has previously confirmed that a new Gran Turismo is in the works, so Gran Turismo 7 seems likely. Whether it's a PlayStation 5 launch game, or a late-era PS4 release (much as Gran Turismo 6 was a late PlayStation 3 game), the idea of a new Gran Turismo releasing in 2020 is not far-fetched.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

Embracer Group, the parent company that owns the rights to franchises such as Dead Island, Saints Row, Darksiders, and Timesplitters, has announced their financial records for the 2019-2020 financial year, alongside a few tidbits of information about what to expect in the future. The studios working under the company have 118 titles in development, 69 of which have not been announced yet--and some of the most anticipated titles will not release until after March 2021."Looking into the next financial year ending March 31 2022, we expect continued organic growth driven by further increase in the value of completed games including the first AAA games releases since Metro Exodus," the report reads. "From this year on we expect to have AAA releases every year."This likely means that the new Saints Row in development will not launch until after this date. Dead Island 2 is also unlikely, despite having been in development (across multiple studios) since at least 2014--as a new open-world title, it's likely to be considered AAA. The zombie sequel is currently in the works at Dambuster Studios (Homefront: The Revolution).Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

With Ghost of Tsushima, developer Sucker Punch is touting the largest game world it's ever created. And by taking liberties with the real-life landmass, it's aiming to create an open-world with a lot of variety.Speaking to IGN, creative and art director, Jason Connell, explained that the different areas seen in the recent State of Play showing are only a small sample of the numerous biomes the islands of Tsushima has to offer."We try really hard from an art direction perspective to make [each area] feel distinctly different and try not to muddy things up," Connell explained. "And while that may feel a little bit loud, when you approach it, it feels very memorable. I can remember where it is, I can see it from everywhere on the island. And that's important to us because the island's big, and we're not putting markers all over the place, so you have to come up with other visual anchors to keep your directionality intact."Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

Players have been discovering how to access the vaults.How To Unlock Call Of Duty: Warzone BunkersIf you can get ahold of a Red Access Card from an orange legendary crate, you can use it to open the bunker doors.
