Warframeis a game that’s built specifically on the rule of cool. That’s a tricky thing to balancefor a live-service game, but the developer Digital Extremes manages just fine. How? By turning awesome bugs into satisfying features, of course, as shown with the new Atomicycle spawning bug. More specifically, the recent release ofWarframe: 1999has cast a retro veneer onto the entire far-future universe of this game. One of the update’s flashiest features by far is the powerful Atomicycle vehicles, which are precisely what they sound like: nuclear-powered motorbikes....

Go little guy! Artist and animator ultimatemaverickx has created a newMega Manrelated short film for us to enjoy. The catch? It doesn’t actually star the Blue Bomber himself, but an adorable Servbot who happens to don the Mega Man ZX armor. I wouldloveto play a game like this.

There’ll be a beta in 2017 Quake Championswas a nice surprise out of E3, but the teaserdidn’t give us much to on, and talk of classes and abilities turned some long-time fans off entirely. Today’s gameplay footage out of QuakeCon is a better showing, inherently, though I’m already seeing folks complain that it’s “too slow.” The trailer’s description seems to speak directly to the die-hard audience. “In trueQuakefashion, you’ll have an arsenal of powerful and unique weapons, each of which will feel familiar to long-timeQuakeplayers....
