Turns out GTA Online’s submarine can be lifted out of the sea, although we wouldn’t exactly consider it a success story just yet. When a game has been on the market for eight years and played by well over 100 million people, you would think everything it has to offer would have been seen. As GTA 5 continues to prove, that is definitely not the case. The latest shocking scene involves a tank attached to a helicopter and a submarine rising majestically up out of the ocean....

When it comes to fantastic roguelikes and/or dungeon crawlers, gamers are spoilt for choice at the time. While there is a wealth of great titles available to scratch that itch, oversaturation can become an issue too. Titles like Slay the Spire can be enormous timesinks, so it’s crucial to know that roguelike you’re investing in will be worthy of all your time. Fortunately, Supergiant’s super-successful Hades (possibly their best game yet) certainly qualifies....

Half-Life: Alyx is a lonesome VR jaunt that takes you along the path of a prequel-sequel in the shoes of, as the name suggests, Alyx Vance. However, as spotted by PCGamesN, there’s now a mod that lets you take this trek with someone in tow. You might remember the City Scanners from Half-Life 2 and its subsequent episodes. Well, this mod lets you join other people’s games where you will appear as one of these, capable of following them around as the intrusive little Combine robots do in the prior games....

This article contains Halloween Kills spoilers. What compels Michael Myers? Why does he wear the mask? What once seemed to be a simple but ominous question to psychiatrist Samuel Loomis—because he’s EVVILLL!—has somehow led to a dizzying variety of answers among the Halloween franchise’s various timelines and narrative cul-de-sacs. Michael could be evil because of a traumatic childhood and personality disorders, as per Rob Zombie’s recent remakes, or he could be evil because he is the reflective embodiment of an entire town’s hypocrisy (see: Halloween Kills)....

After over a decade spent in development hell, Team Ninja’s Nioh has finally gone gold, and the developer has confirmed the game will release on schedule. It has been quite the journey for Team Ninja and samurai hack-and-slash RPG Nioh. Those familiar with the game will remember that it was originally announced all the way back in 2004 as one of the first titles planned for a relatively new PS3. Since then, however, Nioh has remained stuck firmly in the middle of development hell, and only recently resurfaced after demonstrations at both the PSX 2016 and Tokyo Game Show 2016 events....

Her Story, an independent work by Silent Hill: Origins and Silent Hill: Shattered Memories writer Sam Barlow, is as different from conventional gameplay as it’s possible to get. Faced with a series of police interviews with a woman whose husband is missing, the player must use keyword clues to unlock all of the clips and piece together the highly engrossing, somewhat ambiguous story of this enigmatic woman. Original, fascinating, and deeply engaging, Her Story is a fresh take on detective and adventure games like L....

Fortnite has just received a new emote, as part of its recently-launched Icon Series, and it is called Crazyboy. As with many other Fortnite emotes, the Crazyboy emote is a recreation of a real life dance, though not every player will be immediately familiar with its point of origin. For fans that may be curious about this, here are full details on where the Crazyboy emote in Fortnite comes from....

Since the Epic Games Store launched in 2018, one of the most talked about features is Epic Games Store’s revenue share terms for developers. Game developers keep 88% of the money earned from their game and pay just 12% to Epic Games, compared to the 30% cut taken by Steam. Now, Epic Games founder Tim Sweeney has revealed why his company takes such a small cut of the revenue created by the sale of a game....

The Outer Worlds developer Obsidian Entertainment is famous for its quality RPGs, having created Fallout: New Vegas, Knights of the Republic 2, and Pillars of Eternity. The game is also being led by Fallout creators Leonard Boyarsky and Tim Cain and so RPG fans have a lot of expectations riding on the game. However, one classic RPG feature that The Outer Worlds won’t have is crafting. In a new interview, game director Leonard Boyarsky explains that The Outer Worlds setting is a “utopia for corporations....

Agent 47 is a master of catastrophe and has a myriad of ways to assassinate his targets, but sometimes he just needs a little something to help speed up the process. Sabotage tools can be found on every map and allow Agent 47 to create accidents for his targets, which allow him to fulfill his contracts without anyone ever knowing he was there. What Are Sabotage Tools? Crowbars, screwdrivers, rat poison, and wrenches make up the bulk of the sabotage tools in Hitman 3, and have a variety of uses, depending on the given situation....

Accompanying Sony’s debut of the PlayStation 4 Pro, the 4K capable console to be released this November, a new 4K resolution Horizon: Zero Dawn trailer is available. With September 7’s long anticipated PlayStation Meeting event in the books, the hardware manufacturer debuted not only the new model of the standard PlayStation 4, slimmer than ever, but also the PlayStation 4 Pro. A console designed for 4K gaming, the PlayStation 4 Pro will be available this November....

Sometimes, events happen that force us all to sit back and take stock. This is certainly the case with the terror attack that took place in Manchester, United Kingdom, where a bomber killed 22 people attending an Ariana Grande concert at Manchester Arena. Bandai Namco has decided, out of respect for those lost to the tragic attack, to postpone the release of upcoming thriller title Get Even. “Given recent events & out of respect we have decided to postpone Get Even to June 23rd,” stated Bandai Namco UK on Twitter....

While many gamers may consider “microtransaction” to be a dirty word, the reality of the situation is that microtransactions are here to stay, as they are useful in funding new developments and post-launch content. However, some games are unnecessarily aggressive with the revenue-raising tactic, so players may be glad to hear Anthem’s executive producer Mark Darrah discuss the issue. First off, it’s worth mentioning that Darrah’s discussion on microtransactions was brief, and he said it would be expanded upon closer to the official launch of Anthem....

Playing through Dark Souls, it would be difficult to imagine it as a board game, but somehow Steamforged Games did just that. Dark Souls: The Board Game is incredibly popular, and not without good reason. When the project started on Kickstarter, backers raised almost $5 million to see the game made, and Steamforged Games has put that money to good use with tons of expansions adding new characters, enemies, bosses, mechanics, and more....

Superman is finally making a full appearance in a Rocksteady game. For fans of the Arkham series, the Man of Steel’s upcoming role as the villain of Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League raises some big questions. Superman has ranged in power drastically over the years. While there isn’t much information on the Arkham universe’s Superman, there are few hints at the powers that he might have in Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League....

This article contains spoilers for episode 5 of The Stand. In “Fear and Loathing in New Vegas,” the fifth entry in CBS All Access’ nine-part adaptation of Stephen King’s The Stand, we get to spend a significant amount of time in Las Vegas, where the demonic Randall Flagg (Alexander Skarsgard) has established his sinister kingdom. There are other important plot developments in the course of the episode, such as the aftermath of Teddy Weizak’s (Eion Bailey) murder at the hands of Harold (Owen Teague) and Nadine (Amber Heard) — which they made to look like a suicide — as they construct their destructive plans; Frannie’s (Odessa Young) growing suspicions about Harold and her own plan to do something about it; and the abrupt departure of Mother Abigail (Whoopi Goldberg) as she seeks guidance from God....

Fortnite players can typically unlock a Battle Pass by either saving the V-bucks they’ve earned throughout the Battle Royale or Save the World Mode, or by forking over $10 in real-world cash. But for the upcoming season 8 Battle Pass, developer Epic Games has made a way for players to unlock it absolutely free, allowing the player to save onto their V-bucks and/or cash. To do so, players simply need to log in between now and February 27 to complete 13 overtime challenges, all of which are absolutely free and not locked to the season 7 Battle Pass....

There are lots of interesting locations in the world of Pokemon to talk about. Here at TheGamer, we’ve already discussed how Sootopolis is the most fascinating setting, how Goldenrod is still the best city, how Fortree needs the Let’s Go treatment, and how Cianwood is the worst. Legend has it the preposterously poor port town was named after our own Cian Maher, and he’s none too happy about it. Most of the Pokemon locations that have come under our microscope are from the older games, and while part of the reason for that is rose-tinted nostalgia goggles, mostly it’s because Pokemon cities have failed to evolve....
