‘I was wired ready!’ Tales from the Borderlands: Escape Plan Bravohits this week, so as is its custom, Telltale has released a trailer to pump audiences up for it. InCatch a Ridewe learned Gortys’s second upgrade was somewhere up on Helios, so the gang is set to rocket up to the Hyperion moon base this time around. The trailer caps out with Handsome Jack sounding a bit less like the helpful sidekick to Rhys and more like the megalomaniac we know fromBorderlands 2andThe Pre-Sequel....

More stop-motion Legend of Zelda fun Holmes passed along this “stop-motion animationZeldathing” byJohnny McHoneearlier today and I put off watching it for far too long. Don’t make the same mistake! The video borders on amateurish at times, but that ends up being a big part of the charm. Feels homemade. Funny, too. I was all prepared to feel sorry for the creature after Link mercilessly chopped off its tentacles, but it pulled some wackyResident Evilstuff and sprouted freakish new limbs....

More than a few new guns were added inWarframe: 1999, including the Vesper 77. This silenced pistol certainly looks like a good fit for a game about space ninjas, but how should you build it? If you’re hungry for new weapons, make sure to check out theReconifexandCyte-09’s Neutralizer, as well as allthe new modsin the game. But if you’re ready to build a pistol, keep reading. How to build the Vesper 77 in Warframe The unique trait on the Vesper 77 is increased critical chance when aiming and weak point highlighting....

And no, you don’t need VR to play At E3, I finally learned whatTransferenceis (aside from being a VR projectwith Elijah Wood’s involvement). It’s a first-person adventure game with a psychological thriller tinge that has you inhabiting a family trapped in a corrupted digital simulation. Oh, and virtual reality is optional. The short hands-on demo Ubisoft brought to the expo had the same uneasy mood depicted in this trailer.Transferenceis the latest game to try and blend in live-action footage, and while I’m not sure how that gamble will ultimately play out (think back onQuantum Break), its subdued use at E3 worked....

Two maps, two modes, and no cap on your progression level It’s unclear when the nextBattlefield Hardlinebeta will go live, but when it does, it’ll beopen to all playerson PC, PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4, Xbox 360, and Xbox One. Cops and criminals will vie for control in the familiar Conquest mode, as well as engage in high-speed pursuits in Hotwire. The latter is what I imagined when “Battlefieldwith cops” was first thrown around....

October 6 in Japan Sega is trying again with the “2.0” demo forValkyria: Azure Revolution. As it turns out, taking a storied strategic franchise and plopping tons of action elements into it might polarize fans, so the developers have tweaked a bunch of stuff in the hopes that people will have a better reaction this time around. Here’s the thing though, you need have to gone to any number of Japanese on-location events to get codes, including TGS, a Shinjuku event on October 8, or by mere virtue of having access to 1....

There’s a lot of them The other day a friend and I were discussing custom amiibo, and what we were going to do when Mega Man came out. The possibilities for painting him are endless, considering the fact that he has thousands of different weapon colors at his disposal. If I really had to paint a custom Mega Man amiibo, I think I would want it to represent my favorite weapon....

Microsoft hasconfirmedgames likeLoop Hero,Minecraft Legends, and more are on their way to the Game Pass this month.

Mage Arenatakes spell casting to the next level, where you’ll have to use your vocal chords to outlast your opponents, and there are different options to pick from. All players begin the game with a base set of five different spells. These spells are available to all by default, and you can use them strategically to gain an edge over your opponents.

It’s a great time to be aCall of Duty Zombiesfan, with the upcoming return of its classic round-based mode. To top it off, we got an inside look into its gameplay, thanks to theBlack Ops 6ZombiesTerminus Reveal trailer.

There’s also a quick little sneak peek of the Jet Gun’s epic comeback, which first appeared inTranZit....

That’s a lot of Batman Batman Day is a real thing, apparently. I only learned about it yesterday when posting thatFortniteleak, but I guess this “holiday” is a bigger deal than I realized. In celebration of the Dark Knight’s own day,Epic Games is giving out six different Batman titlesfor absolutely nothing. That’s a hell of a free gift and could occupy you for dozens of hours. If you boot up the launcher, you’ll be able to grab theBatman: Arkham CollectionandLEGO Batman Trilogycollections....

Whether you enjoyed it or not! In case you missed it and don’t have a PS5,Final Fantasy 7 Remake Intergradecame and went, and offered up a side story featuring Yuffie. It was bite-sized but fun, giving us a glimpse into the personal life of the character that we didn’t really get before. And according to co-director Naoki Hamaguchi, pieces ofIntergradewill spill over into Part 2: whenever that comes out. Speaking to The Washington Post, Hamaguchi notes that the team-up mechanic, at the very least, will make it into the next part: “there’s another element introduced: combo [moves] where Yuffie and Sonon team up … which makes for a different feel in battle strategy....
