The Season of the Worthy has kicked off in Destiny 2, but it already has a few issues. Bungie has run down a list of known bugs and errors that are present in the new content season, and it looks like the one that might be most confusing to players has to do with the requirements to complete Rasputin's Seraph bunkers.Bungie detailed the list of issues on Twitter, including the fact that the new Seraph bunkers are listing incorrect requirements to complete them. You'll get to one not long after starting the story quest for the Season of the Worthy by visiting Zavala--the first bunker you visit is located in the EDZ on Earth, but there are several scattered throughout the solar system.Here are the real requirements to upgrade each of Rasputin's Seraph Bunkers to Tier 1:Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

The past few The New Mutants teasers offered more of a horror movie take on a young adult X-Men spin-off, but the film's new TV spot presents a tongue-in-cheek tone. Or to put it another way, if the past trailers were darker and sinister, then the new teaser feels more like a teen movie. That makes sense, since actress Anya Taylor-Joy, who plays Magik, stated that the director wanted to mix horror with a classic teen movie vibe, like The Breakfast Club or Sixteen Candles.In the teaser, we see Magik and her very big glowing Soulsword. We also get a glimpse of the Demon Bear rampaging, which is one of the more unique villains in The New Mutants comics. The Demon Bear is huge and has incredible strength. In addition to its intimidating physical presences, it can also teleport, transform, feed off of negative human emotions, and manipulate souls around it.The New Mutants was supposed to arrive in April 2018, but rumored reshoots supposedly held the movie back. Director Josh Boone clarified in an interview on March 9 that no reshoots had ever taken place. He said, "Everybody said we did reshoots! We've never done reshoots. And I'll tell you this: if there hadn't been a merger, I'm sure we would've done reshoots the same way every movie does pickups. We didn't even do that because by the time the merger was done and everything was settled, everybody's older."Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

The newest battle royale game on the block is Modern Warfare spin-off Call of Duty: Warzone, and it takes inspiration from games like Apex Legends in a variety of ways. However, it also introduces its own wrinkles to the formula, some which impact gameplay directly (like being able to complete "contracts" during the match), others that are more minor visual flourishes (like the names that adorn the map when you're choosing where to drop). While the things in the latter category aren't what's going to make or break the game, they can help to provide it with extra flavor, and so far I'm loving the way all of these new elements come together to ensure 150-player matches still have their intimate moments and stories.Much like in a standard Call of Duty: Modern Warfare match, the beginning of a Warzone round sees a brief cutscene of sorts to set the stage, as you and your team assemble on a plane before dropping in. The end of a match is bookended by another scene where a helicopter arrives to extract the winning team members, who are able to show off their customization options during some close-up shots on the chopper. It provides a very light narrative wrapper to the whole affair.During the helicopter sequence, the screen is also home to an In Memoriam list where each player from that round's name is displayed. These names are grouped into squads of three (no cause of death is displayed), and actually seeing nearly 150 names listed out in this way serves to hammer home just how many people you managed to overcome--assuming you did come out on top. The choice to focus solely on names and nothing related to their performance or placement distinguishes this from merely being a very long leaderboard.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

As you already know by now, the free-to-play battle royale Call of Duty: Warzone is now available for PC, PS4, and Xbox One. It's based on Call of Duty: Modern Warfare, so many of its gameplay mechanics will be familiar for those who have already played that game. But if you're new to the battle royale genre or haven't touched Modern Warfare yet, a free comprehensive strategy guide to Warzone is available courtesy of Infinity Ward and Activision.The guide includes the ins-and-outs of battle royale and how the genre's common elements work in Warzone, such as parachuting, safe zones, how the deadly gas circle closes in, and general loadout and looting strategies. There are also extensive details about each area of the map and what to expect when dropping into or looting these specific zones. The Contracts system is explained, which acts like a set of side objectives amid the battle royale match, and the Plunder mode is detailed as well. You may also be caught by surprise if you're not aware of how the respawning system works, which pits you in a knife fight with other eliminated players inside a prison. There's a lot more in it that'll help get you prepared; you can access the full Warzone guide here.As for the basics of Warzone, it takes place on one large-scale map called Verdansk that features a few familiar areas from previous maps. You can only play in squads of three, and a total of up to 150 players (about 50 squads) fight it out in a last-person standing deathmatch--you can jump in solo or with one friend, but you'll be at a disadvantage since others will be in trios. While it's free-to-play, Warzone is a huge download: 83 to 101 GB for those who do not have Modern Warfare installed, and 15 to 22 GB for those who do.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

One of the big new features in Animal Crossing: New Horizons is the NookPhone, a smartphone-like device that Tom Nook gifts you shortly after you move into your new deserted island home. The NookPhone comes loaded with a variety of apps that offer different features, including a camera that lets you take screenshots, and now we have a better look at how this will work.The official Animal Crossing Twitter account shared some new footage of the NookPhone's camera app in action. This app activates the game's photo mode, allowing you to zoom in and take screenshots to your liking. You can also apply a variety of different filters to the shots, and screens you take will be save directly to your Nintendo Switch's photo album.That's only one of the many features the NookPhone offers.

If Call of Duty: Black Ops 4's Blackout utilized the same formula as PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds, then the new Warzone battle royale mode is Apex Legends. Both use three-player squads and emphasize the use of communication, loot management, respawning allies, and teamwork. Neither battle royale game is exactly the same, though.If you and your friends love Apex Legends and you're now eager to jump into Call of Duty: Warzone, you should know you'll have to account for these differences when you play. Generally, Apex Legends does more to prioritize teamwork within combat, while Warzone's mechanics and systems prioritize teamwork outside of it. But, of course, it's a bit more nuanced than that, so let's break these two games down to showcase what we mean.ContractsThe biggest difference in how the two games (aside from the lack of distinct hero characters and abilities) emphasize teamwork is with contracts--a system that doesn't really exist in Apex Legends. The closest equivalent Apex Legends has to Warzone's contracts are the loot vaults on the map World's Edge.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

For a little more about how the game is shaping up before you take the plunge, be sure to read our Resident Evil 3 preview covering our time spent playing the game.

The story of Destiny 2 continues in the Season of the Worthy, and a big part of the thrust of this season is working with the AI Warmind called Rasputin to shoot a big giant spaceship down before it crashes. To do that, you need to upgrade Seraph Bunkers, which are new locations scattered around the solar system, and complete new Seraph Tower public events. It's a confusing process at first (especially because some requirements related to the Seraph Bunkers are currently bugged, according to Bungie), requiring you to earn several new items.Getting StartedTo get going on the story quest that unlocks the Seraph Bunkers, you need to first talk to Zavala to get the quest. Once you have that, head to Mars and talk to Ana Bray to get the next step, which requires you to do some fighting on the planet. Your goal is to generate 20 Orbs of Light and gather eight of them. The best way to do that is to fire up an Escalation Protocol event and equip some Masterworked guns to create orbs.Once you've done that, you'll earn another mission step. Activate it and follow the path to Rasputin, who will then dispatch you to the EDZ.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

It's almost nine years since the hugely popular anthology show American Horror Story premiered, and the series doesn't show signs of finishing any time soon. In January, it was renewed for another three seasons, and Season 10 will arrive this year. The first poster has now been released.The poster doesn't exactly reveal much about the next season, but it does at least hint at what its theme might be. It shows a pair of hands gripping the earth, with the sea in the background, as if someone--or something--is slowly crawling out of the ocean. In addition, creator Ryan Murphy accompanied the image with an Instagram post which states, "Things are beginning to wash up on shore..." What could these things "things" be? Sea zombies? We're going to have wait a while to find out, but in the meantime, here's the poster: View this post on InstagramThings are beginning to wash up on shore...A post shared by Ryan Murphy (@mrrpmurphy) on Mar 10, 2020 at 11:15am PDT Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

The Epic Games Store launched in 2018 with a major lack of features, and while it's still lagging behind other digital storefronts in some ways, it just added a new key feature to improve the store experience: the ability to add games to a wishlist. With so many exclusive games, especially those of small developers, a wishlist makes it easier to bookmark games and come back to them later when you're ready to spend some money.When looking at a game's page in the Epic Games Store, you'll notice a new heart icon next to the buy button. All you need to do is click that, and the game will be added to your wishlist. For games with multiple editions, you'll need to click the "See Editions" button before choosing which one you'll wishlist. To access and view your wishlist, you'll need to click your account name in the bottom left of the Epic Games launcher and then select "Wishlist."For now, you can arrange your wishlist with a number of different filters--Alphabetical, Price, On Sale, or Recently Added--or search for a specific game. Thankfully, Epic plans to iterate with things like email notifications when games go on sale, leave Early Access, or become available for pre-orders. Some of the other upcoming features include mod support for games and self-service refunds, while things like gifting, user reviews, and support for additional currencies and payment methods are still planned for future development. You can see the full Epic Games Store roadmap on Trello.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

From the co-creator of Bob's Burgers, Loren Bouchard, along with Josh Gad (Frozen) and Nora Smith (Bob's Burgers), comes a new animated Apple TV+ show, Central Park. Only this time, it's less about running a restaurant and more about protecting a park, namely, Central Park. The main cast of characters is a park keeper dad, his wife, and two children--a son and a daughter.Much like the family in Bob's Burgers, the Tillerman family in Central Park looks to be equally quirky and unique. The mom seems to really, extremely, adore her son, the daughter's going through boy problems, the dad is a park nerd, and the son is...lying in the park, screaming, "Ugh, I'm dying." Unlike Bob's Burgers, there also seems to be a lot more singing. The entire trailer is accompanied by a song about Central Park, and you can expect to see more of it--the show is billed as a musical comedy.The teaser also introduces a villain, Betsy, who is a billionaire (possibly a trillionaire) with the ambition of buying Central Park and flipping it into valuable real estate. It looks like the park keeper and his family will battle against Betsy and her pampered dog to save the (im)perfect park.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

It's the sounds of the prisoners that let you know something isn't right. No matter how hard you struggle, the guards succeed in dragging you into the damp confines of the mysterious prison, where you're thrown into a room with several others. The first person that approaches you greets you with a swift punch to the neck. Thankfully, despite the spray of blood and reddening of your vision, it doesn't really hurt. But you don't have a chance to retaliate because the first blow invited others over and now you're enduring the onslaught of half a dozen fists, not two. There are no words of warning or explanation as to what's happening beyond a message welcoming you to Call of Duty: Warzone's Gulag.As your beating continues, you manage to sneak a peek at a few other souls staring out through barred windows. Another poor sap is thrown into The Gulag and your tormentors turn to them instead, allowing you a moment of respite to see what the others are looking at. Below you is a short hallway. Pillars are haphazardly placed throughout the space, with small piles of crumbling rubble scattered in between. It only takes a second to identify the structures as cover, the echo of bullets ricocheting off the tile clueing you into their purpose. Two soldiers are having a shootout below--both egged on by the onlookers who are pelting the duo with rocks.In a few moments, one falls and the crowd throws out a few more rocks in the form of cheers--another body has been fed to The Gulag. Suddenly, two of your neighbors disappear, only to appear below on opposing sides. The two run at each other and once again the sounds of bullets reverberate through the air. More rocks are thrown and the mob's horrific welcome has transitioned to yet another newbie who thought they were safe by hiding in the corner, and then another body falls dead down below. This pattern continues until it happens to be your turn.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

Jason Statham and Woody Harrelson might not seem like two actors who have a lot in common, but we'll soon see how one will perform in a role initially offered to the other.

Statham is said to have left the project over a disagreement regarding the film's age rating--he wanted to make an R-rated film, Sony insisted on making a "four quadrant" movie aimed at a wider audience.Director Patrick Hughes has previously directed Red Hill, The Expendables 3, and The Hitman's Bodyguard.
