How Do Xbox One Launch Games Hold Up

At launch, the Xbox One had a fairly healthy line up of exclusive games. While Xbox One exclusives have become a sore point for the console, Ryse: Son of Rome, Forza 5, and Dead Rising 3 managed to convince at least some players to grab an Xbox One when it first launched. But with the generation now winding down, how do those games hold up in 2020? RELATED: Xbox Game Sales are Down But Subscription Revenue is Up...

How Earth Might Be Saved If An Asteroid Was Headed Straight For Us

This isn’t the only method suggested for the diversion of an asteroid, however. Space agencies have a range of potential diversion methods from the seemingly obvious, like blasting an asteroid with a nuclear missile, to obscure ideas like painting its flank. Professor Bong Wie, director of the Asteroid Defense Research Collaboration at Iowa State University, told Newsweek two things are key to the success of such missions: “The warning time or mission lead time, as well as the asteroid size, plays the most crucial role in asteroid diversion....

How Elden Ring S Open Field Concept Inherently Changes The Dark Souls Formula

What appears to be one of the most striking differences from Dark Souls is how the world itself is constructed. The Dark Souls games, while not entirely linear, are guided by what are essentially lanes. It makes the combat a bit more right-in-the-player’s-face, and it defines a lot of how the game plays. Elden Ring isn’t going to be like that, while also not being an open-world game: it’s going to be an “open-field” game....

How F 16 Fighter Jets Being Sent To Ukraine Could Impact War With Russia

Following announcements that the U.S. and Germany would send 31 M1 Abrams tanks and 14 Leopard 2 main battle tanks, an advisor to Ukraine’s defense minister, Oleksiy Reznikov, said that securing the fighter jets would be the “next big hurdle” for Kyiv. Yuriy Sak emphasized that Ukraine was hoping next for the fourth generation of military jets, which includes the F-16 multirole fighter jet. “If we get them, the advantages on the battlefield will be just immense,” he told Reuters....

How Fast Will Multiverse Cameos Get Old

Spider-Man: No Way Home marketed itself heavily on the novelty of reincorporating the 2000s and 2010s takes on classic comic-book villains into the modern MCU. After that film’s unbelievable success, fan speculation has already begun on behalf of Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness. Everything from new actors in classic roles, to references to actors who didn’t get those parts, to the full reincorporation of performances like Hugh Jackman’s Wolverine has been floated as possible....

How Final Fantasy 7 Remake Could Be Even Better On Ps5

When it was first announced, it seemed pretty clear that Final Fantasy 7 Remake would be a PS4 exclusive. Even so, it makes sense that further installments of the remake would release on PS5 instead, and if that were the case, it would be in Square Enix’s best interest to port the first part to that console as well. The validity of these rumors isn’t the main focus here, though, but rather what kinds of changes could be made on PS5 to make the game even better than its already critically acclaimed PS4 version....

How Frank Miller S The Dark Knight Returns Brought Grit Back To Batman

“I took a sanitized version of a tough character and took him closer to his 1940s roots,” Frank Miller told Newsweek at an unveiling event for a black and white statue based on the suit Batman wore in The Dark Knight Returns at FAO Schwarz in Rockefeller Center. The 62-year-old veteran cartoonist was signing autographs for fans, juxtaposed between greeters in toy soldier outfits and ceramic statues of Paw Patrol....

How God Of War Ragnarok S Odin Compares To Assassin S Creed Valhalla S

Odin’s upcoming confrontation with Kratos is far from the only time the god has taken up a prominent role in a video game, however. Even though Ubisoft’s Assassin’s Creed franchise is predominantly focused on historical events, the publisher hasn’t been afraid to dive into the realms of sci-fi or religion. That philosophy has opened the door for Odin to appear in the most recent mainline entry, Assassin’s Creed Valhalla. What’s streaking about this depiction is how similar, yet unique, it is in comparison to God of War Ragnarok’s version....

How Good Can The Browns Be With Jacoby Brissett As Starting Qb Outlook For Cleveland After Deshaun Watson Suspension

That ostensibly lines up his debut with against Browns division rival Baltimore on Oct. 23. In Watson’s absence, the Browns will be helmed by journeyman backup Jacoby Brissett, who is no stranger to starting games in the stead of starters. Indeed, he started an entire season for the Colts after the abrupt retirement of Andrew Luck left Indianapolis scrambling, posting a 7-8 record in 15 games. He also started for Luck in 2017 when the former Colts QB missed a season with a shoulder injury....

How Gotham Knights And Suicide Squad Are Approaching Open World Gotham And Metropolis

At the heart of any good open-world game is the look and feel of the map that players are dropped into when they start up the game. Both Gotham Knights and Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League will need to ensure that their maps give players ample opportunities while they take a break from the main storyline. With a rich history from the comics to draw from, popular adaptations of each city to look to, and the abilities of the studios creating both games, it is likely that both Gotham Knights and Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League will deliver standout open-worlds upon their release....

How Dragon Age 4 Could Change The Game For Mages

The treatment of mages in the Dragon Age series has always been unique. Magic is feared by almost everyone who lacks it, and a strict hierarchy of imprisoned mages and their templar guardians is established in the first game, eventually brought to a bloody climax in the Templar-Mage War that takes place in Inquisition. For this reason, Dragon Age’s mages have always provided some fantastic roleplaying opportunities and unique motivations for players, which could be taken even further in Dragon Age 4 for a few key reasons....

How Erling Haaland And Phil Foden Can Prove Jurgen Klopp Right And Break The Liverpool Vs. Man City Rivalry

John Stones’ harum-scarum goalline clearance when City beat the Reds 2-1 in January 2019 serves as the enduring image when it comes to demonstrating how these games exist on a perpetual knife edge, but it is far from the only example. Pep Guardiola’s side won the league that season by a single point. Last time around, Liverpool took matters to the final day once more, with City again prevailing in a dramatic finale....

How Fallout New Vegas Fits On The Franchise Timeline

To make matters trickier, unlike The Elder Scrolls, there’s a lot of overlap between events in Fallout, with many of them taking place simultaneously across the vast American wasteland. Fallout: New Vegas’ status as a spin-off, developed by Obsidian Entertainment instead of Bethesda, also helps muddy the waters, but there is indeed a timeline. RELATED: Fallout New Vegas: The Perfect Build To Conquer Hardcore Mode WW2 To The Great War The Fallout timeline officially diverges from the real timeline roughly around World War 2, though there are some events like the alien abduction of the historical characters seen in Fallout 3’s Mothership Zeta DLC which take place beforehand....

How Good Was Stephen Curry In Ncaa Basketball Here S A Look At His College Stats Career And Highlights

Stephen Curry’s father, Dell Curry, played in the NBA from 1986 to 2002, but he was not heavily recruited by schools other than Davidson College. His physical appearance coming out of Charlotte Christian School was the reason behind Curry’s underappreciation, but Davidson’s coach, Bob McKillop, had been following Curry since early in his high school career and knew he was a special player. Although Curry wanted to play for his father’s alma mater, Virginia Tech, the Hokies offered only a walk-on spot, and Curry declined....

How Hillary Keeps Going

For her, it’s always been a difficult search. In her enemies’ eyes, all the “"-gates’’ of scandal lead to her. To them she is Haldeman, Erhlichman and Mitchell rolled into one – and Republicans hope she may one day have the court dates to prove it. To her admirers, she is Margaret Mead, Eleanor Roosevelt and Joan of Arc rolled into one – and she already has the scars of political martyrdom to prove it....
