However, in a recent appearance on the Happy Sad Confused podcast, McElhenney explained why it didn’t come together like the studio was hoping. “I’m comfortable talking about it, because f**k them at this point,” he explained....

We’ve already received a sneak peak at what to expect from Portal 2, in the form of the recently unveiled achievement list, but a number of story details still remain a mystery. While Valve has already revealed that fan-favorite killer AI GLaDOS and protagonist Chell will return for the sequel, the development team has been keeping a lot of Portal 2 story-details under wraps. Many details are still under tight wraps, but PAX visitors got an early glimpse at the opening moments of Portal 2 - including the introduction of Wheatley, the personality sphere voiced by Stephen Merchant as well as the reveal of a new character, Cave Johnson, the founder of Aperture Science voiced by J....

Dire Shadows are a special type of enemy you’ll spot very early in Persona 5 Strikers, with the first available before you even finish the Shibuya Jail at the start of the game. If you’re the curious type, they’ll also rip you a new arsehole in the span of a few seconds. These foes are badass enough that when you spot one, Futaba will chime in and note that there’s a seriously dangerous Shadow ahead....

The price of the PlayStation 5 aims to offer the “best possible value proposition,” which is a roundabout way of saying it’s going to be quite expensive (via Essentially Sports). Sony has kept quiet on the prospect of the PlayStation 5 price, and other reports have claimed that the product will reflect the cost of its production with upmarket components and parts. “We must absolutely control the labour cost, the personnel cost, it must be controlled,” said chief financial officer and senior executive vice-president Hiroki Totoki in March....

Thanks to a Dutch LetsGoDigital article, the PlayStation VR2 patent has been leaked, touting not one but three built-in cameras and possibly even wireless capabilities. As more updates on next-gen consoles are revealed, such as the recently announced PlayStation 5 release window, it’s clear gamers won’t have to wait much longer for the future to be in their hands. Or, in this case, for gamers to see the future for themselves....

PlayStation Vita has been on life support for a couple of years now, but it seems Sony’s finally ready to lay its pocket powerhouse to rest, with production in Japan coming to an end. The format holder’s website lists the PCH-2000 ZA11 and PCH-2000 ZA23 models as ending ‘soon.’ This shouldn’t be much of a shock, as Sony did say last year that production of the handheld would wrap up in 2019....

There are a ton of Pokémon that seem impossible to catch. When you’re up late throwing Ultra Ball after Ultra Ball, running out of PP on Hypnosis, and your fingers are sore from hitting that reset button, that Master Ball sitting in your bag starts to look very appealing. “I only get one,” you tell yourself, “don’t waste it on this!” But, then there are the Pokémon worth saving it for; those ‘mons so tough or so rare, or so difficult to track down, that a Master Ball must be used....

The land of Pokémon is filled with plenty of creatures that are based in one way or another on animals and objects that exist in the real world. One of the go-to species in Pokémon is birds since they naturally come in many varieties.

Evolution is the foundation of the Pokémon franchise and is the base in which the rest of the game’s mechanics revolve around. Since this is the case people have always wondered why Pikachu became the mascot and Eevee didn’t, despite Eevee being the clear example of what the possibilities of evolution are. From Pokémon Red & Blue up until Pokémon Sword & Shield, there have always been pokémon introduced that are a little hard to evolve than others....

If you look at where Pokémon Go is now compared to when it started, there is clearly a massive change. The game really did transform. As new features and ideas have been implemented, the game offers players a lot more to do. However, there are still more additions that could be made in order to make the game more full-fledged than it already is. Today, we’ll be taking a look at ten additions that would be great to see come to Pokémon Go....

This year’s Go Fest, Pokémon Go’s annual summer weekend extravangaza, has shaken up the game with the introduction of a new Mythical creature, the arrival of the franchise’s extra-dimensional Ultra Beasts, and the apparent (albeit likely temporary) loss of everyone’s favourite hunky professor, Willow. The disappearance of Willow, a surprise twist for the game’s second day, means the game has been left without its usual friendly face guiding players through the game’s story....
