Pokémon Go developer battling to overturn false ban wave
Pokémon Go developer Niantic is battling to overturn a wave of false account bans. The game's anti-cheat system appears to have incorrectly flagged numerous player accounts for using "third-party applications" - AKA cheating software. Last night, after Eurogamer flagged the bans to Niantic, the developer acknowledged the problem and said it would now work to restore any affected player accounts. Still, there's a feeling of concern in the Pokémon Go community regarding how long it has taken to get the issue identified. Plenty of player reports had been filed with the game's customer support to no avail. And this is an issue which has now occurred several times in the past. Dozens of Pokémon Go players got in contact with Eurogamer to report the problems, while fans attempted to gain visibility by posting large threads on the popular TheSilphRoad reddit. Prominent Pokémon Go Youtuber spieletrend was also among those affected. The Vienna-based player is one of the game's …
Makers of 14-year-old GTA San Andreas mod were so worried about a takedown, they pulled it offline themselves
The makers of a 14-year-old Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas mod have pulled it offline themselves over a fear of a takedown from Take-Two. GTA United is a mod based on San Andreas for PC. It unites the maps of Grand Theft Auto 3 and Grand Theft Auto Vice City in one game area within San Andreas, effectively replacing San Andreas' map. Work on the free, non-commercial mod began in 2006. The first beta of what was then known as "Vice City 2 San Andreas" came out in early 2007. The beta for "Liberty City 2 San Andreas" came out soon after. Then, in late 2007, the beta for a combined effort called GTA United was released. Five years later, in December 2012, GTA United 1.2 was released. It remained available ever since - until now. Rockstar parent company Take-Two has issued a raft of takedown notices for GTA map mods in recent weeks . Mods such as GTA: Underground, and the 15-year-old project, GTA: Liberty City, were hit. Even HD texture projects such as Vice Cry were targeted. …
Forza Horizon 5’s biomes shown off in gorgeous new screenshots
Last month we got our first look at Forza Horizon 5's beautiful Mexico setting , and if that video left you hungry for more, just take a look at these brand new screenshots. Shared in a blog post on Xbox Wire , the screenshots (and brief video clips) provide a nice look at Forza Horizon 5's 11 "distinct and unique biomes". Seasons will return with Forza Horizon 5, and each of these 11 biomes will transition through the seasons differently: spring will bring the rainy season to the farmland and jungles, for instance, while summer might bring tropical storms to the coast. All on a map that's about one-and-a-half times the size of Forza Horizon 4. "We knew from the beginning that we wanted this to be the biggest Forza Horizon yet. However, if we wanted to be the biggest, then we felt we also needed to offer the most diversity and contrast as well," said creative director Mike Brown. Canyon, Tropical Coast and Farmland. Arid Hills, Jungle and Living Desert. Art …
Fortnite countdown sets stage for live event next Friday
Fortnite will hold its next live event on Friday, 6th August at 11.05pm UK time (that's 6.05pm Eastern, or 3.05pm Pacific). This will be Fortnite's first big live event in quite some time - since last December's big Marvel season finale - and, unusually, it is coming in the middle of the game's current UFO-themed season. What do we expect to happen? Well, leaks and Epic's own legal documentation have pegged an Ariana Grande concert as coming soon - though the current state of the island suggests this will somehow be wrapped into its current alien theme. Today, Fortnite received its 17.21 update seemingly designed to prep the game for the event. I'm reminded of how Fortnite slowly got its island ready for the last big concert, for Travis Scott , which entertained 27.7 million people last summer. Spoilers for next week's event are already doing the rounds on social media, which we've chosen not to post here. For now, anyone can load into Fortnite and gaze at a big …

Nintendo says it hasn’t forgotten Animal Crossing: New Horizons
Animal Crossing: New Horizons will receive further free content later this year, Nintendo has said, thanking fans for their patience during a particularly dry spell for updates. There are no details on how big these updates may be or what features they may contain. There is no word of Brewster. But, I suppose, it is something. A small update arrives this Thursday, 29th July, meanwhile. This adds another smattering of seasonal items and brings back the game's previous August fireworks . Animal Crossing: New Horizons launched to stratospheric sales, and quickly became Nintendo Switch's second-biggest game ever behind the evergreen Mario Kart 8 Deluxe. As of 31st March this year, it had shifted more than 32.63m copies. But an early flurry of updates began to tail off around the end of last year, and recent months have seen only a few new pieces of furniture added to note the passing of public holidays. The feeling of staleness has only grown as the game's first anniversary …

Guilty Gear Strive’s Next Fighter Is Goldlewis Dickinson, Who Fights With An Alien-Filled Coffin
Arc System Works has just revealed the first DLC character for the season pass of Guilty Gear Strive , and it's another strange one that will undoubtedly confuse folks who haven't played this game before. In the latest reveal trailer, we get to see the fighting debut of Goldlewis Dickinson, who is the Secretary of Absolute Defense for Guilty Gear's take on the United States of America. He marks the first post-launch fighter to be added to the game's roster for season pass holders, and he'll make his debut on July 27. For the uninitiated, Goldlewis Dickison is a new character that made appearances in the story campaign of Guilty Gear Strive, though some fans believe he made an early appearance in the background of the Neo New York stage in Guilty Gear Xrd . Regardless, he will now be a playable fighter in Strive, and his weird moveset and bizarre backstory certainly makes him in good company alongside the likes of Faust and Ramlethal. What makes Goldlewis so unusual is that not …
