Battlefield 1’s PC specs shouldn’t give you shell shock

Seems reasonable Now thatBattlefield 1has peeked its head up out of the trenches long enoughto have a beta, we know what kind of armaments PC players need to stand a chance in no man’s land. EA actually publishedminimum specsprior to the beta, but today’s the first confirmation of a recommended setup. Here’s the reiterated minimum your rig will need to have the baselineBattlefield 1experience: Of course, the artillery gets a little heavier for an ideal time withBattlefield 1....

Best Warzone KATT-AMR loadout: Attachments, class, and perks

Is there a better feeling inCall of Dutythan hitting a sweet one-shot Sniper Rifle kill? If that sounds like your kind of thing, then you should try out this KATT-AMRWarzoneloadout which is a good alternative to the MORS. Just because a gun is popular with the community, it doesn’t mean it’s going to be perfect for you. For example, the DG-58 LSW LMG is the most picked weapon in the game, but I just can’t use it, and stick with my tried and true MCW instead....

Blizzard fails to announce Rock & Roll Racing 2

The world isn’t ready yet Over at Blizzcon today, Blizzard announced its first new IP in 17 years,Overwatch.However, the studio also failed to announce any tentative plans to releaseRock & Roll Racing 2, a cartoonish adversarial racing game featuring the music of Black Sabbath, Steppenwolf and more. Presumably we will not be able to watch the fun, expensive CG trailer soon at the above link, which is currently crashed with traffic, but also because no such CG trailer exists (that we know of)....

Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons is a playable fairy tale

Dogs and trolls and sheep — oh my! I caught wind ofBrothers – A Tale of Two Sonsby way of a short teaser trailer a while back (you’re able to find it after the jump) and was digging the art style, but put it out of mind. As its spring release approaches, however, it seems to be picking up steam. After GDC, Mikael Nermark, CEO and President of Starbreeze Studios, and Josef Fares, the Swedish film director helmingBrothers, paid us a visit to show off the pleasant-looking game ....

Capcom still wants you to pay for character edits in Monster Hunter: Wilds

Monster Hunter Wilds‘ has turned out to be a phenomenal success for Capcom already, with well over a million concurrent players enjoying the game on day one on Steam alone. Setting its many,manytechnical problems aside, it’s also loaded up with microtransactions both egregious and not. This is par for the course for Capcom andMonster Hunterat large, of course. The franchise has historically proven its worth as a long-tail MTX vehicle for Capcom, and it was pretty darn unlikely that this wouldn’t happen withMonster Hunter Wilds....

Cars 3: Driven to Win’s Miiverse community is full of amazing art

Plenty of memes to go around I completely forgot aboutCars 3until yesterday, when Destructoid’s Nick Valdez took it upon himself to catch a day drunk buzz and watch the movie. I think it’s about sentient cars and coping with life after horrific accidents, but I’m not entirely sure. I sawCarsonce, but it was during a high school Spanish class, so I might be a bit off on the series’ plot....

Bully is only $5, get it! Ok, look, Rockstar’s underratedBullyfor $5 is the real headline in thisRockstar-tinged PlayStation network sale, butGrand Theft Automoves newspapers god damn it. Hot coffee hot coffee hot coffee. Also why isBullya buck more expensive thanGrand Theft Auto IV? I guessGTAIVlacks the same nostalgic punch as the PS2-era entries, which a lot of folks like to fondly return to. LA Noire,Red Dead(plusUndead Nightmare),The Warriors, andMax Payne 3are all sub-$10, too....

Crisis Core Trailer: Time to Cry Like a Girl

What is it aboutFinal Fantasy VII? We all try to be cool. “Overrated,” we scoff amongst our enclave of pals as we mock Cloud on forums and draw comical mutilation fanart of Aeris (SPOILER: SHE DIES). And yet, I defy you to watch this trailer and not become inexplicably excited. Not to feel the tightening of the pants, if you will. It’s a montage of cutscenes from the upcomingCrisis Corefor PSP, releasing September 13th in Japan, with release dates anticipated sometime thereafter for just about everywhere else....

Crytek president Cevat Yerli muses on TimeSplitters HD

No sign of TimeSplitters 4, sadly Crytek President Cevat Yerlirecently had a chat with Game Informerabout the future of Crytek. It’s a fairly lengthy piece, but a few key highlights include the industry as a whole, theCrysisseries, and…TimeSplitters?! In a rare turn of events, the interview sprung something fairly interesting on fans of the series. Yerlispecifically mentions a certain petition by name— something that almost never happens — and says that if it was more “convincing,” they could possibly pull the trigger on aTimeSplitters HD Collection....

Devil May Cry 3 continues its reign as the best Devil May Cry to date on Switch

Style switching is a game-changer Devil May Cry 3is a classic that is only rivaled by the most recent entry and a few other heavy-hitting action projects like bothBayonettas andNinja Gaiden Black. It’s a game that demands respect despite the fact that it’s over 15 years old. The thing is, I was afraid Capcom would rush it to the eShop and ruin its re-introduction to a whole new audience, kind of like how they did with the polarizing HD Collections and the first two over-priced Switch ports....

EA talks lessons learned from Dead Space, Mirror’s Edge

Electronic Arts seems to have learned quite a bit about two of its more original games in recent years —Mirror’s EdgeandDead Space. I couldn’t tell you how many times those two have been brought up in interviews about the company’s future. Add another one to the list with EA Games president Frank Gibeau, who spoke with Develop recently. “What I learned fromMirror’s Edgeis that you have to execute, you have to spend more time on a game to ensure it’s polished, and you need to have the depth and persistence of an online game....
