In an interview with Kotaku (opens in new tab) (thanks, Nintendo Life (opens in new tab) ), Pokemon Go ’s live game director Michael Steranka spoke about the recent changes made to the game and why the company is making small steps to seemingly return the game back to its pre-pandemic state, slowly reversing the adjustments that were made during the COVID-19 pandemic which helped Trainers stay inside. One of the main changes made to Community Days was outlined in a recent post by Niantic (opens in new tab) announcing the upcoming April 22 Stufful Community Day.

Pokémon Go developer Niantic says its “becoming better” at spotting cheaters
Pokémon Go cheaters beware: Niantic has outlined new measures to identify and eradicate cheaters. In a new blog post (opens in new tab) , Pokémon Go (opens in new tab) developer Niantic assured players that it understood "how cheating behaviors" affected them and while its efforts were initially "focused primarily on sharing a broad overview" on unfair gaming practices, the team believes it's "becoming better" at identifying, and removing, cheaters. "Our last post was focused primarily on sharing a broad overview of the actions we had taken to punish accounts we found to be cheating in multiple Niantic games," the blog post said (thanks, NME (opens in new tab) ). "Since then, we’ve invested in becoming better at observing cheating behaviors, and can now more reliably pinpoint these activities with higher speed and accuracy, preventing legitimate players from being punished incorrectly. "As a result, we will be ramping up enforcement against these … [Read more...] about Pokémon Go developer Niantic says its “becoming better” at spotting cheaters
The Resident Evil PS5 upgrades have a secret weapon – and it’s got nothing to do with Umbrella
The Resident Evil 2 remake PS5 upgrade, and its Resident Evil 3 counterpart, are the extension of an ongoing trend. As most recently illustrated by The Last of Us: Part 1 – the fully-fledged Last of Us remake PS5 players are set to welcome later this year – nostalgia in the horror genre is popular. So popular, in fact, that you might have spied me heralding the current influx of throwback scare 'em ups as the golden age of horror remakes . Which is hardly a controversial take. Resident Evil 4 is being remade from the ground up. As is Dead Space, Layers of Fear, and System Shock. There's even rumors of Silent Hill 2 being redone some 21 years since its first arrival. And, of course, Resident Evil 2 and Resident Evil 3 have already been brought in line with modern standards over the last few years. Better still, the RE2 and RE3 remakes of 2019 and 2020 have now been given a further makeover, with scaled-up versions now available on PS5 and Xbox Series X consoles. … [Read more...] about The Resident Evil PS5 upgrades have a secret weapon – and it’s got nothing to do with Umbrella

Steam Summer Sale 2022 is live with savings on Neon White, V Rising, and more
The Steam Summer Sale 2022 is live with a ton of discounts on new games for 2022 as well as some you might've missed in years past. The list of games on discount includes some that just recently launched to near universal acclaim, like the heart-pounding game of many genres, Neon White, and the retro brawler Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder's Revenge. Two very different games for different crowds, but both have been very well received and both are on discount right now on Steam. There are also some games on sale that might've slipped past your radar, whether that's due to Elden Ring's gluttonous shadow or an out-of-control backlog (yeah, sorry about that). For example, Ghostwire Tokyo might not have been an instant buy at the full $60-70, but we found a lot to love in its spooky, Yokai-filled vision of modern Tokyo and its surprisingly tragic side quests . At half price for Steam's Summer sale, it's absolutely worth checking out. As we said at the start, the … [Read more...] about Steam Summer Sale 2022 is live with savings on Neon White, V Rising, and more
