The latest Suicide Squad Kill The Justice League gameplay trailer has me asking, what changed and is it enough? A brand new look at Suicide Squad gameplay showcases combat, traversal, and the characters. Let's breakdown the recent Suicide Squad Kill The Justice league trailer. I actually think the Kill the Justice League gameplay looks fast, fluid, and fun, but I understand why so many don't want to play an action shooter in the Arkham universe. Others are concerned about it being a live service game. Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League is an upcoming action-adventure game developed by Rocksteady Studios and published by Warner Bros. Games. The game is scheduled to release for PlayStation 5, Windows and Xbox Series X/S on February 2, 2024.

Recently I have found my coverage of gaming news falling into the console wars. What felt like a natural evolution for me as a gamer in the PlayStation vs Xbox debate turned into something that made some discussions unenjoyable. The show and content are not changing, but the hopefully the tone will. Walking away from the console war does not mean I will change what I cover and how I cover it. But I want to change the tone and the vibe of how we disagree and have discussions. I should be able to be critical of Xbox Game Pass or PlayStation 5 games without it turning into a fight. Disagreement and discussion is prized on this channel, and I want to do that in a way that aligns with my beliefs and fosters an environment that promotes healthy dialogue. So we will still cover things like Xbox news, PlayStation news, the Xbox tax, Starfield negative reviews, or the PlayStation showcase. But I want to do it in a way that welcomes discussion and isn't so console war oriented.

My Avatar Frontiers of Pandora Season Pass reaction is a bit mixed. I think the game looks promising but Avatar gameplay has been compared to Far Cry gameplay quite a bit. But the latest Avatar Frontiers of Pandora trailer gives me a different view of where this game is potentially headed. The consistent debate about how live service games are bad especially in light of the PlayStation live service games seeing half of them pushed back, I've continued to think that ongoing video games need a new way forward. Is Ubisoft charting a new patch with the Avatar game and Star Wars Outlaws? Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora is an upcoming open world action-adventure game based on the Avatar film series developed by Massive Entertainment and published by Ubisoft. The game is scheduled to release for PlayStation 5, Windows, and Xbox Series X/S on December 7, 2023.

The Last of Us Part 2 Remastered was announced and has many people asking, why another remaster? Some of us haven't played so a TLOU2 remastered would be a great way to experience it. But others are taking issue with the lack of a Naughty Dog new game and Factions 2 looking indefinitely delayed. I am interested in the TLOU 2 remaster as someone who was late to PlayStation games and I'm fully in support of more PS5 games launching that were previously very popular. But I fully understand why people don't want it or are being critical about it. The Last of Us Part II Remastered will feature enhanced graphics, including native 4K output1 in Fidelity Mode, 1440p upscaled to 4K1 in Performance Mode, an Unlocked Framerate option for TVs that support VRR, increased texture resolution, increased Level-of-Detail distances, improved shadow quality, animation sampling rate, and more.

Yesterday we did The Game Awards 2023 nominees reaction and many are claiming that games were snubbed. Not seeing a Starfield GOTY nomination as well as the total absence of Hogwarts Legacy has many gamers calling foul. Some are also claiming that the Resident Evil 4 Remake should not be in the running because it is a remake. My Game of the Year 2023 predictions were 6/6: Baldur's Gate 3, The Legend of Zelda Tears of the Kingdom, Super Mario Bros Wonder, Marvel's Spider-Man 2, RE4 Remake, and Alan Wake 2.

Those looking for an explanation for how Call of Duty Modern Warfare 3 released in such a bad state now have one. According to Bloomberg the MW3 campaign and COD MW3 multiplayer were built in a very short window. Even Call of Duty Modern Warfare 3 zombies is being criticized. Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III is a 2023 first-person shooter video game developed by Sledgehammer Games and published by Activision. It is the twentieth game in the Call of Duty series, and third entry in the rebooted Modern Warfare sub-series, serving as the direct sequel to 2022's Modern Warfare II.

According to the game director The Last of Us Factions 2 is still coming and he is still working on it. Those hoping for TLOU Factions 2 to release may get their wish in the future. Many of us thought that we were going to see The Last of Us Factions 2 cancelled. There are also rumors about The Last of Us 3 being in active development as well as The Last of Us 2 Factions being "on ice". We have also heard that The Last of Us 2 Remastered may be happening, but I think it will likely be a Director's Cut. An untitled The Last of Us game is in development by Naughty Dog. A multiplayer game set in the world of The Last of Us, the game is a follow-up to the Factions multiplayer mode featured in the 2013 video game.

The latest Phil Spencer interview seems to point to more evolution for the Xbox platform. He refers to Xbox as a community even with respect to PlayStation and Nintendo and other devices. It seems as though the ecosystem evolution of Xbox Game Pass may look more like a video game publisher than we initially thought. The Xbox Activision deal isn't the latest Xbox news but it certainly is changing the way Phil Spencer sees the brand. The recent Famitsu interview goes beyond Call of Duty and sounds like the platform is becoming a publisher.

Well, Call of Duty Modern Warfare 3 campaign has been playable for a weekend, and the reviews are worse than I expected. The COD MW3 campaign is so short. Virtually every Call of Duty Modern Warfare 3 review is extremely negative and critical. Most of this centers around how short the campaign is, in addition to the open combat missions being incredibly bland and disappointing. My current COD MW3 review is nothing short of a disaster. It is clear now more than ever than Modern Warfare 3 is DLC and nothing more. Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III is an upcoming first-person shooter video game developed by Sledgehammer Games and published by Activision.

My friend @30nsg and I will discuss the news about Bungie layoffs that happened recently. We both covered Destiny 2 together for many years, so I wanted his perspective on this. I have not covered Destiny since early 2021 but the Destiny 2 layoffs are too pertinent to our history as gamers to ignore. Bungie, Inc. is an American video game company based in Bellevue, Washington, and a subsidiary of Sony Interactive Entertainment. The company was established in May 1991 by Alex Seropian, who later brought in programmer Jason Jones after publishing Jones's game Minotaur: The Labyrinths of Crete.

The news about Bungie layoffs hit in waves, and now we have substantial information from sources at the company. We will likely see Destiny 2 The Final Shape delayed along with the Marathon release date landing in 2025. I had no plans on covering this but the story became too large to ignore. I haven't covered Destiny the game since early 2021 and this will be focused on what happened with the Destiny 2 layoffs and delays and not the gameplay or content. While initial theories were that PlayStation was the cause of this, it was primarily caused by missed revenue targets and lowered interest in Destiny 2 Final Shape. Analysts do think, however, that PlayStation is lowering costs. Bungie, Inc. is an American video game company based in Bellevue, Washington, and a subsidiary of Sony Interactive Entertainment.

The latest Xbox news recently broke that we will see Xbox banning third party controllers in an effort to stop unlicensed controllers from being used. With Xbox banning third party accessories certain important accessibility controllers as well as fighting game controllers will stop working. Obviously this is probably aimed at Call of Duty cheaters now that the Xbox Activision deal is complete. With COD cheaters being a huge problem, Xbox may be taking aim them, but it is turning off well known adapters and controllers. Most notably the Brook Wingman XB 2 Converter and the Brook XB Fighting board won't work any longer which means other controllers like he Quadstick FPS game controller will stop working. This change is obviously well intended to stop cheating, but the unintended consequence is blocking legitimate controllers. What should Xbox do?

This will be my Game of the Year 2023 predictions as we wait for the The Game Awards 2023 nominations to come out. The GOTY 2023 nominations will be a very tight race in light of how great this year was. Baldur's Gate 3 and The Legend of Zelda Tears of the Kingdom are likely going head to head. But what about Marvel's Spider-Man 2 or Super Mario Bros Wonder? More than that, what about Alan Wake 2, Resident Evil 4 Remake, Sea of Stars, Final Fantasy 16, Star Wars Jedi Survivor, Lies of P, or Street Fighter 6? And yes, I will talk about why I don't think a Starfield GOTY nomination will happen. The Game Awards is an annual awards ceremony honoring achievements in the video game industry.

I wanted to give an Alan Wake 2 review roundup, but I found a strange trend. If you are looking for an Alan Wake 2 Xbox review you might struggle to find more than a few. Is this related to Alan Wake 2 Xbox Series S performance or something else entirely? The way the publisher distributed the review codes is extremely interesting. Why would Alan Wake 2 PS5 review codes be given priority and timing over the Xbox? I think there are three huge reasons why this is happening, and it is a disservice to Xbox console owners. Alan Wake II is a survival horror game developed by Remedy Entertainment and published by Epic Games Publishing. Story of Alan Wake. Alan Wake went missing in 2010. He was a bestselling writer based in New York City. On a vacation in the Pacific Northwest with his wife, Alice Wake, he came face to face with a force of supernatural darkness. It brought Wake’s writing, a horror story, to life.

A recent interview with Skyrim's lead designer on Starfield's origins and Bethesda's evolution. My Starfield review hasn't changed much since my latest experience with Starfield gameplay. Bruce Nesmith sat down with MinnMax and had a lot of insight into Starfield and the Elder Scrolls 6. The interview also touched on Fallout 76 and why it released in the state that it did. I think the interview touches on more than why the Elder Scrolls 6 trailer released, but also into what the Elder Scrolls VI will look like as a game. Starfield is an upcoming action role-playing game developed by Bethesda Game Studios and published by Bethesda Softworks. It was announced during Bethesda's E3 presentation in 2018. The game takes place in a space-themed setting, and is the first new intellectual property developed by Bethesda in 29 years. Starfield is the first new universe in over 25 years from Bethesda Game Studios, the award-winning creators of The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim and Fallout 4.

The Microsoft CEO, Satya Nadella, did an interview with MSN about the Xbox Activision deal and how they will be doubling down as a game publisher and game developer. The Xbox Activision Blizzard deal puts Xbox Game Pass and the company into a very strong position, but what does the future look like? With the Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S sales showing drops in sales practically ever quarter, will Xbox move away from hard and console focus? As they become more of an ecosystem, what will first party Xbox games look like in the future? The biggest opportunity for growth is mobile gaming and cloud gaming, so will console flagship games even be a priority?

The latest Squadron 42 trailer is making waves as the game is now feature complete. My Squadron 42 I held the line reaction is that I am blown away. And the Squadron 42 release date is likely going to land in 2024 since they are now in the polish phase. Squadron 42 is a standalone single player game that is connected to the world of Star Citizen.

Now that Marvel's Spider-Man 2 has released, the question is can it win Game of the Year 2023? My initial Spider-Man 2 review is incredibly positive but the game of the year nominations will be tough this year. A Spider-Man 2 GOTY 2023 win would be huge as an action adventure superhero game. I want to talk about the good and the bad because there are Spider-Man 2 bugs in the game.

The latest Phil Spencer interview on the Xbox Activision deal for the official Xbox podcast. The episode is called "Phil Spencer on Activision Blizzard King + Xbox" and he spoke about Xbox Game Pass, Call of Duty, and potentially revisiting older franchises.

Phil spoke very frankly and candidly about it, and it shows the priority of console sales and what we can expect in the future.

With Halo Infinite Season 5 gameplay in the wild a recent batch of Halo leaks have revealed an uncertain future for Halo as a franchise. Seeing a Halo unreal engine 5 and a brand new campaign is apparently in the works along with Halo Tatanka which is the Halo Battle Royale that will also be in UE5 according to rumors. But all of this is apparently happening as a pivot away from Halo Infinite, so what does that mean for the current and future seasons in the game? Are they going to pull a Call of Duty and separate the traditional game and the battle royale? Halo Infinite is a 2021 first-person shooter game developed by 343 Industries and published by Xbox Game Studios. It is the sixth mainline entry in the Halo series, following Halo 5: Guardians.
