Minecraft Is Overhauling Copper, And Adding An Old Mob Vote Loser

Way back in 2021,Minecraftintroduced its first new ore in eight years—copper. Now, caves are full of the stuff, but outside of lightning rods and the odd Statue of Liberty, there’s not much use for the abundance you can find, despite it replacing more useful ore like iron. Thankfully, that changes with the newest update. Mojang has announced that its third game drop of 2025 will completely overhaul copper, finally making it useful after all these years....

Oblivion Remastered's Strange Loot Bug Is Making Everyone Rich

Summary One of the best aspects ofOblivion Remasteredis that it’s essentially just the original Oblivion running underneath a veneer of upgraded visuals, albeit with a couple of reworked systems. This means we have all the same quirks and lovable bugs that made the original so memorable, all with a new coat of paint. However, Oblivion Remastered may have a few tricks of its own. Players are beginning to report a strange loot bug, one that causes non-player-characters (NPCs) to have either a lot of gold or a comical amount of one item, such as healing potions....

Peter Pan Is Just The Beginning, Disney Dreamlight Valley Gears Up For More Community-Driven Updates

Quick Links Since its early access release back in 2023,Disney Dreamlight Valleyhas been making a lot of big promises. The community has voiced its thoughts consistently in response to criticisms, and those voices have not gone unheard. For better or worse, Gameloft listened. Mostly for the better, though. Since the conclusion of Dreamlight Valley’s first act (the base region), Skull Rock has remained a mystery. There are already a handful of caves and mysterious locations around the Valley, but this one feature remained a stoic reminder of what was to come....

PSA: Don't Pre-Order Battlefield 6, Or Any Other Video Game For That Matter

Electronic Artsis doing a lot of things right when it comes toBattlefield 6. After the massive failure ofBattlefield 2042, it felt like the franchise had nowhere left to go. It felt laughably outdated in the current live service landscape, andDICEseemingly didn’t understand why we fell in love with this first-person shooter to begin with. Its obsession with overcomplicated gameplay mechanics and a futuristic setting, which many thought broached too far into a technically advanced future, left people feeling alienated, and that’s without mentioning the litany of bugs and glitches or its desperation to work within an ever-growing live service ecosystem....

Resident Evil Requiem Fans Are Desperately Trying To Work Out Who The Hooded Man Is

There’s a lot to unpack in theResident Evil Requiemtrailer, from Alyssa Ashcroft’s mysterious death to what sounds likethe return of fan-favourite protagonists Leon Kennedy and Jill Valentine. But there’s one question splitting the community down the middle:who is the hooded man? A popular theory floating around is that it’s Wesker, given how similar the figure’s outfit appears upon closer inspection. Sure, he pumped himself full of Uroboros and became a big, gangly Resident Evil monster, before falling into a volcano where he was obliterated by two rocket launcher shots, but it’s Wesker....

Sonic Racing: Crossworlds Is Closer To Stealing Mario Kart World’s Crown Than You Might Think

Summary Even though I’ve been a lifelong fan ofSonic the Hedgehog(yes, even the bad games), I’ve never really got on with the Sonic Racing spin-offs. While they’re decent fun as far as racing games go, and clearly have a lot of love for both the source material andSegaas a whole, they always felt a littleoffto me. For a series that’s as laser-focused on speed as Sonic, the Sonic Racing games have always felt a little slow, and there usually weren’t enough unique qualities beyond the Sonic of it all that would make me choose it over playingMario Kart 8 Deluxefor the millionth time....

Star Wars Battlefront 2 Hit Biggest Player Peak In Four Years On May 4

Summary Star Wars Battlefront 2got a lot of flak at launch, not only for its microtransactions and loot boxes, but for locking iconic characters like Darth Vader behind dozens of hours of grinding. EA defended the decision at the time, arguing that it was to give players “a sense of accomplishment”, but that rebuttal quickly became one of the most downvoted comments in Reddit history, making the backlash loud and clear....

Strongest E.G.Os In Limbus Company

Ego, in the psychological sense, gives humans a sense of self and a mask that we present to the world as our best, or at times worst, selves. Games have long since tried to encapsulate the human struggle of our sense of ego through various stories, and Limbus Company’s attempt takes the worst of humanity’s ego and holds a mirror to it. Dante and his party of sinners are cursed with facing an untold number of versions of their E....

Summer Game Fest Is Never Going To Hit As Hard As E3

Summer Game Festis almost here. The annualGeoff Keighleyshowcase has grown in both size and significance since its debut in 2020. Introduced during the height of lockdown as an alternative to the flailingE3, Keighley saw an opportunity to turn all eyes on him and for huge industry partners to fall into his lap rather than the familiar embrace of the ESA. Over the years, Summer Game Fest has also grown in scope to better reflect its spot on the global stage, with major industry players like Capcom, Bandai Namco, Epic, Nintendo, and so many more showing up to showcase their games to as many press and influencers as they possibly can....
