When the outspoken Peter Moore made the jump to Electronic Arts, we knew it was only a matter of time before he started thumping his chest and turning heads. In an interview with Seth Schiesel from the NY Times, Moore is very clear on his vision for the future of EA Sports. “There is a great opportunity to take EA Sports and turn it into a general sports brand that can compete not only with Take-Two and Konami and the other usual suspects in the videogame world…[but also] to look at ourselves in a different way and compete with the likes of Nike and ESPN to win the hearts and minds of a very desirable demographic group, which is the 14-to-34-year-old male worldwide” Mooretold NY Times’ Seth Schiesel....

30,000BP for your patience PlayerUnknown’s Battlegroundsbasically has two types of rewards. There’s the intangible emotional sense of achievement you get from seeing a screen with the words “Winner Winner Chicken Dinner” on it. Then there’s Battle Points, which is the currency ostensibly used to buy cosmetic items. PUBGplayers on Xbox are going to get a lot of the latter simply for putting up with a somewhat-bumpy preview program launch. Alongside an announcement that the game has sold 4 million copies comes a windfall of BP....

Help support the game on Kickstarter I got a chance to playRay’s the Deadat PAX East this year and came away really looking forward to the game.

Yes, it shares a strong resemblance toPikminin terms of controls, but its theme and concept are so different that it separates itself from the Nintendo classic....

I want to talk today about a condition that we don’t hear much of any longer, a painful malady that has largely been eliminated from our society. Just as the advent of a vaccine spirited away the looming fear of smallpox from an entire generation, making the virus seem little more than medical history, innovations in gaming have practically erased this threat from the social consciousness. But with the rise of interest towards retrogaming in popular culture, a new generation now stands at risk....

An upgrade for the next generation Just when we thought Rockstar was ready to move on, they dropped an announcement that they’re releasinga paid subscription serviceforGTA Online, called GTA+.GTA Onlineis still included as part of the base game ofGrand Theft Auto V— the subscription will be an add-on service that’s only available for players on PS5 or Xbox Series X/S.

He left the project quite some time ago, and more recently,MoondirectorDuncan Jones signed onto fill the vacancy. Speaking toVulture, Raimi offered a rather candid explanation of what went wrong from his perspective: “First, [Legendary] asked me if I wanted to make it, and I said, ‘Yes, I loveWorld of Warcraft, and I think it would make a great picture....

A patent for a “user-driven three-dimensional interactive gaming environment” plugs into a PlayStation to read players movements in a 3D space. Does that sound like some other TV-topping peripheral you know? 1 Zing Point for you if you said EyeToy.

It sports 82 tracks We don’t have nearly enough prolific rhythm games out on the current market, but publisher Neowiz is trying to change that. With releases likeDJMax Respectand most recently,Tapsonic Bold(a PC port of the popular mobile series), the genre is getting a little more lively. Tapsonic Bold, the keyboard-centric rhythm romp, is finally out of Early Access and live on Steam. In true Neowiz fashion there’s no comprehensive tutorial (just a basic rundown with zero nuances on some of the more intricate concepts), so if you absolutely need that sort of thing (a reasonable request) you might want to back out....

As much as I loveThe Binding of Isaac, I can see why certain people might be hesitant to blindly buy, even with the affordable price. You now have one less excuse, however: the game’s creators haveput a Flash demoup on (where else?) Newgrounds. Featuring two levels, eight bosses, and 60+ items, the demo is a good glimpse at how thefull gamehandles and should tell you whether or not this is your jam....
