Last night’s launch of Call of Duty Warzone 2.0 came with a small but mighty feature addition that has changed the gameplay dynamic between players. Proximity chat allows players from different squads to talk to each other when they are close by. The result has been a barrage of clips capturing these conversations, some of which are predictable moments of trash talk, while others are surprisingly wholesome.

A former employee of Final Fantasy publisher Square Enix has been arrested and accused of insider trading. 38-year-old Taisuke Sazaki, whose video game credits include work on numerous Final Fantasy and Kingdom Hearts titles, allegedly bought shares in Japanese development company Aiming shortly before Square Enix publicly announced the studio was working on a new Dragon Quest mobile title. Nippon reports that Sazaki acquired shares worth 20.8m yen (around £125k) between December 2019 and February 2020, after allegedly hearing details of Aiming’s project.

It’s been a little while since we heard about Sega’s plans to make a Streets of Rage movie, but the project now seems to be gathering pace. Hollywood production company Lionsgate has now taken up the project’s reigns, Deadline reported, following word earlier this year that Sonic the Hedgehog movie maker dj2 Entertainment was also involved. More promising still is the news that Derek Kolstad, creator and lead writer of the hugely-lucrative John Wick franchise, remains attached, and will reportedly develop its script and act as a producer.

Square Enix has revealed framerate and resolution details for its forthcoming remaster Crisis Core Final Fantasy 7 Reunion. As perhaps expected, the game will run with 4K resolution and 60fps on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S, while on PC (Steam) the frame rate can be boosted to 120fps depending on specs. However, Xbox Series S owners should note that a day one patch will be required in order to hit 60fps, otherwise it’ll be 30fps.

Parts of Grand Theft Auto 5’s stolen source code have leaked online, and swiftly been removed via copyright strike by Rockstar. The code in question is a string of scripting functions, as shared on reddit. It includes references to game elements like camera, graphics and cutscenes, as well as gangs and DLC. On its own, the leak isn’t particularly enlightening about the next game in the series, but Rockstar’s swift takedown proves the legitimacy of the recent leak.

With preloads for Call of Duty Warzone 2.0 and DMZ now available, we can finally get a clearer view of the new interface to facilitate access between the different game modes, and it’s horrendous. Here’s how it works. The Modern Warfare 2 launcher will serve as the all-encompassing interface to access Modern Warfare 2, DMZ and Warzone 2.0. This is known as “Call of Duty HQ” and is presented with the same Netflixy style of tile interface courtesy of Infinity Ward’s director of UX/UI William Faler who previously served the same role at Hulu.

Fans have already started combing through all the new content coming to Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 and Warzone 2.0 with the arrival of Season One tonight, but one small detail has taken over fan discussion.

Most notably, the M13B Assault Rifle is locked behind a challenge in the game’s new DMZ mode which will be releasing alongside Warzone 2.0. According to screenshots posted by the community, players can unlock the weapon by “defeating the chemist in the radiation zone…
Monster Hunter Rise: Sunbreak’s next free Title Update is right around the corner, and it’s a good ‘un, adding new monster variants, expanded uses for AI hunters, plus a host of welcome tweaks and refinements when it launches next Thursday, 24th November. On the monster front, there’re no brand-new additions in Title Update 3, but some existing favourites do get a bit of a makeover. Elder Dragons Kushala Daora and Teostra, for instance, have now shaken off the affliction, only to emerge in Risen form – both available at Master Rank 120 or higher – causing them to become much…
A Plague Tale: Requiem: PC analysis, optimised settings – and the performance boost from the new patch
We’ve already established that A Plague Tale: Requiem is a graphically demanding game – hence the move to a 30fps/40fps target for Xbox Series X and PlayStation 5, despite running at a native 1440p with temporal upscaling for a 4K output and often failing to maintain its performance target. In search of answers as to how heavy this game is, we can look to the PC version for answers – just as we did with Gotham Knights.Adding extra spice is the arrival of a new patch for the game. We were hoping that this would add ray tracing support for…
