In what was presumably an oversight from the developers at Game Freak - and not intentional - fans have found you can align your character and Meowscarada just a little too well, allowing for a kiss-like interaction when out picnicking. Why would you want to kiss Meowscarada? Well, when its design leaked shortly before launch, people quickly made hordes of fan art, some of which was not particularly wholesome or Safe For Work....

This PUBG tips page will tackle as much of that depth as possible, from beginners PUBG tips to a more advanced guide to the game. Before diving in though, it’s worth talking a little about how to approach PUBG matches in general, especially if you’re a newcomer or just looking to learn the game a little better. How Battlegrounds works PUBG is not your typical shooter. The aim is to survive, not to get the most kills - in fact you can win without getting a single one - so your usual shooter strategy needs to adapt....

The news was revealed by Japanese magazine Famitsu (thanks, Gematsu). In 2019, Granzella - a team of veterans of the series and from original developer Irem - successfully crowdfunded R-Type Final 2. The side-scrolling shoot ’em up sequel looks pretty promising. Our Martin is very excited indeed. “… it looks great, keeping to the more sedate pace of classic R-Type while adding in a level of visual splendour and technical clout that’s new to the series,” Martin said after seeing gameplay footage a year ago....

Speaking at last month’s SXSW festival in Austin, Texas, Fils-Aimé was asked what role blockchain, crypto and play-to-earn technology had in the future of gaming (thanks, Nintendo Life). He appeared to be quite enthusiastic about the idea: “So I’m a believer in blockchain, I think it’s a really compelling technology. I’m also a believer in the concept of ‘play to own’ within video games, and I say this as a player where I may have invested 50 hours, 100 hours, or 300 hours in a game, and when I’m ready to move on to something else, wouldn’t it be great to monetise what I’ve built?...

And yet, this imperfect world showed me at least one perfect place. Early on along life’s journey, a desert campsite under the stars, hundreds and thousands of them, blown sugar scattering across the huge glowing sky. The landscape above seemed lit from within. Beneath, fires burning and campers herded up close. A path threading through the vans to a dancing man and a stack of cardboard. I slept for a bit and then went to join a fellow traveller sat on a perch overlooking the whole thing....

“It’s hard to imagine a Robin without a Batman,” muses the masked hero, before resolving that he will figure it all out. What then unfolds is a bombastic trailer with Robin showing off his athletic prowess. This includes his various attacks and how he can use “teleportation tech from the Justice League’s satellite” to “zap [himself] short distances in a fight”. You can check out this latest spot from Warner Bros....

The investments were made in the fourth quarter of last year, and have come to light now in a US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) filing reported by Al Jazeera. That filing shows the PIF now owns $1.3bn in shares in Call of Duty publisher Activision Blizzard and $1bn in shares for FIFA maker EA. This equates to around 3.5 per cent and 2.6 per cent respectively of those companies’ share totals....

This hybrid mechanical-membrane keyboard has both the clicky sound of a solid gaming keyboard while also having cushioned presses that you’d find in ergonomic or laptop keys. It also has everything you’d expect from reliable gaming keyboards, such as RGB lighting that’s completely customisable, and fully programmable keys (and macros) to suit different profiles whether it’s work or play, or for different games. But some great ergonomic choices have been made in the design here too, like the inclusion of quick access media keys and a scroll dial that can be used either for volume, scrolling web pages or something entirely unique to you....

In an interview with Tweak Town, Sega CEO Haruki Satomi acknowledged the publisher would like to “try out various [NFT] experiments”, but was quick to say “nothing is decided at this point” and the company would have to “carefully assess” “what will be accepted and what will not be by the users”. “In terms of NFT, we would like to try out various experiments and we have already started many different studies and considerations but nothing is decided at this point regarding P2E,” Satomi said (thanks, VGC)....

Blaustein says that while he does not “expect or seek any financial compensation”, “I do strongly feel that giving me appropriate credit for my role is the right thing to do”. Shortly after the remake was unveiled earlier this week, Blaustein retweeted Konami’s announcement, saying: “Cool! And they will, once again, use the SH2 English script that I wrote/translated (oh, directed too) completely by myself and I will get zero compensation for it and there will not be tens of thousands of people on Twitter outraged on my behalf....

The Iraq war game, which is set during 2004’s Second Battle of Fallujah, was dropped by Konami in April 2009 due to the amount of negative feedback received. “After seeing the reaction to the video game in the United States and hearing opinions sent through phone calls and email, we decided several days ago not to sell it,” a Konami spokesperson said at the time. “We had intended to convey the reality of the battles to players so that they could feel what it was like to be there....

“We’ve officially merged with Blizzard Entertainment,” the developer tweeted today. “Our development team will remain in Albany, NY and fully dedicated to Blizzard games.” The developer then shared a link to the main Blizzard Twitter account, and invited its current followers to join them there. Last year, Vicarious Visions staff were reportedly told about this rebranding on a company call. However, at that time, nothing was officially confirmed. The move follows the company’s more recent alignment with Blizzard (rather than the Activision arm of the company) and its work on Diablo 2: Resurrected....
