Capcom has provided an update on its decision to charge fans to watch online streams of upcoming Street Fighter 6 tournament finals. It was announced during last month’s Tokyo Game Show that the finals of Capcom Cup 12 and the SFL World Championship would be streaming live via pay-per-view. The announcement stated that fans who want to watch the tournament finals online will have to pay ¥4,000 ($27) to watch the Capcom Cup 12 Finals on March 14, 2026 and another ¥4,000 ($27) to watch the SFL World Championship on March 15, 2026. Alternatively, a bundle is available for ¥6,000 ($40) that allows them to watch both finals. Read More... View the full article

Microsoft’s announcement that Halo: Campaign Evolved is coming to PlayStation is the final nail in the coffin for the Xbox exclusive, and for some marks the end of the console wars. Now, the White House has waded in with an AI image of Donald Trump as a saluting Master Chief that, well… there’s something very wrong about it. For the uninitiated, Halo: Campaign Evolved, a remake of the campaign of 2001’s Halo: Combat Evolved, is due out on Xbox Series X and S, PC, and PlayStation 5 at some point in 2026. It is the first Halo game ever to launch on a PlayStation console, and cements Microsoft’s position as a multiplatform video game developer. The idea of a Halo game on a PlayStation console would have been outrageous before, say, a few years ago, when Microsoft’s multiplatform push began (reportedly in part due to a need to make an increased profit margin from Xbox studios). Perhaps that’s what prompted U.S. video game shop GameStop to tweet a statement declaring the consoles wars over. Someone somewhere within the bowels of the White House saw that tweet and decided it would be a good one to jump on. The tweet in question shows the U.S. president as Halo protagonist Master Chief — clearly generated by AI — holding an Energy Sword and saluting in front of the White House and the American Flag. Power to the Players [Hidden Content] [Hidden Content] — The White House (@WhiteHouse) October 27, 2025 But look closely at that flag and you’ll see the mistake — there are 40 stars when there should be 50. Has Trump, as Master Chief, teased plans to scrub 10 states from the U.S. map? Did the AI powering the creation of this image hint at generative AI’s endgame? Should we be worried? Is Trump claiming a key role in ending the console wars? Is the White House making a play for the gamer crowd here? It’s hard to say what this image is trying to achieve, but it has gone well and truly viral, with 9.3 million views at the time of this article’s publication. IGN has asked Microsoft for comment. It’s an especially odd “collab” from the White House when you consider Trump’s prior comments on video games. In 2019, Trump suggested one way to prevent future mass shootings in America was to take a firm stance against violent video games. "We must stop the glorification of violence in our society,” he said. “This includes the gruesome and grisly video games that are now commonplace. It is too easy today for troubled youth to surround themselves with a culture that celebrates violence. We must stop or substantially reduce this and it has to begin immediately.” Perhaps, in Trump’s mind, Halo doesn’t count. The Trump administration has form when it comes to using AI images to promote the President. In May, Trump sparked a backlash from some Catholics after posting an AI-generated image of himself as the Pope. The picture, which was shared by official White House social media accounts, was released as Catholics mourned the death of Pope Francis and prepared to choose the next pontiff. The White House has also released AI images of Trump as Superman and as a Star Wars Jedi. And last month, The Pokémon Company formally responded to the use of Pokémon TV hero Ash Ketchum and the series' theme tune by the Department of Homeland Security as part of a video showing people being arrested and handcuffed by law enforcement agents. We’ve got plenty more on Halo: Campaign Evolved, including why it’s the final nail in the coffin for the Xbox exclusive, and thoughts from some members of the original Halo development team at Bungie.

Day Z is, without a shadow of a doubt, one of the best zombie games you can play right now. Very few of its rivals can evoke that sense of desperate survival in quite the same way. But Vein is giving it a shot. It's been tinkered on for years by just two dedicated devs who were initially inspired by Project Zomboid, and now it's launched in Steam Early Access. With a huge evolving world, base building that can utilize the infrastructure around you, and a focus on realistic, long-term survival, it looks like a remarkably deep experience. You can also run over zombies in a go kart, which definitely earns it a bonus point from me. Read the rest of the story...

There are some games that bring back really fond memories. Zipping through the streets of Los Angeles in L.A. Noire, bringing down the hammer of justice while simultaneously breaking every traffic law; finally beating the Archdemon in Dragon Age: Origins, immediately vindicating my choice to side with the werewolves instead of the Dalish - sometimes, a story etches itself into your soul. Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodhunt is one of those games. I played it on repeat when it released, soaring through the blood-red skies of Prague, gazing out over the city from the rafters of the Burning Church or vibing to the beats thumping out of the Divine Disco.

The Outer Worlds sees Obsidian returning to first-person RPGs for the first time since Fallout: New Vegas. After that spinoff, the studio focused on top-down CRPGs like the excellent Pillars of Eternity series. While not a Fallout game, and in no way connected with Bethesda, The Outer Worlds will look familiar to fans of the series, thanks to its retro-futurist aesthetic and open-world. Fans have been vying for a game of this ilk for a while as Fallout 4 struggled to match the wilder character and bright colours of Obsidian's New Vegas strip. But it also speaks to fans of the older isometric Fallouts as Obsidian's RPG is helmed by the series' creators, Tim Cain and Leonard Boyarsky. After the trailer debut for The Outer Worlds at The Game Awards 2018, the internet has been ablaze with hype, but you may be wondering what we actually know about the game as of right now. Is the hype justified? What kind of gameplay we can expect and when we'll be able to get our hands on it are questions worth asking. Despite sparse details being released, we can infer a lot from the drip-feed of gameplay, previews, and trailers we've been offered since the reveal.

Final Fantasy 7 Remake series director, Naoki Hamaguchi, has elaborated on comments he recently made about the upcoming Part 3, in which he said it would be “more concise” than Rebirth. Speaking to Screen Rant earlier this month, the director was asked about how some fans criticised the second game in the Remake trilogy for having some story sections stretched out. Hamaguchi responded by saying that Part 3 would feel “more concise” than Rebirth, which many fans interpreted as an intention to cut content from the final entry in the Remake series. However, speaking to VGC in a new interview, the director clarified that this wouldn’t be the case. Read More... View the full article

Microsoft has finally unveiled Halo: Campaign Evolved, a remake of the campaign portion of Bungie’s beloved Halo: Combat Evolved. Halo fans have spent most of the weekend debating the changes Halo Studios has made for this upcoming 2026 shooter, from the addition of sprint to the more pristine art style. But what do the developers of Halo: Combat Evolved itself make of the remake? Jaime Griesemer is one of the key developers behind Halo. He was most involved with designing Halo’s famous ‘30 seconds of fun’ gameplay loop and designed much of the campaign itself. Now creative director at Highwire Games (Six Days in Fallujah), Griesemer took to X / Twitter to deliver an early verdict on gameplay footage coming out of Microsoft’s Halo: Campaign Evolved reveal. He did not sound impressed. "You aren’t supposed to be able to take the Warthog up to steamroll the Hunters," Griesemer said. "I intentionally placed rocks in the way so you had to fight them on foot. When you can just smash the crates out of the way it wrecks the encounters. "But the worst part? They put trees in the landing area of the WooHoo Jump. Lame.” Let’s unpack this a bit. Griesemer is criticizing a key part of the iconic campaign mission, The Silent Cartographer: the first encounter with two Hunters. In the original Halo, this fight is meant to be played with Master Chief on-foot (players soon discovered it was possible to brute force a Warthog into the arena). But in Microsoft’s remake, players can freely take their Warthog up to the Hunters and ride roughshod over their hapless victims. I imagine the Hunters, with their dying breaths, gurgling: “no fair!” (Oh, and that WooHoo Jump? Griesemer explained: “There’s a ramp that is supposed to have a bunch of jackals at the landing spot. Your gunner would always say ‘Woohoo!’ When you got airborne.”) It’s fair to say Griesemer’s tweet, viewed 2.3 million times, has sparked a reaction online, with some fans insisting the level layout change ruins the gameplay flow, others saying this change and others like it will make the game more fun. As for Griesemer, in a subsequent tweet, he explained that if Microsoft is going to change Halo’s crates to be dynamic, then they should have also redesigned the encounters that use them as permanent cover." He continued: “Most people forced the Warthog through BECAUSE of the Hunters. The introduction of the Hunters was supposed to be intimidating and difficult, but in the light so you can understand them. Then you meet them in an enclosed dark area and they are even harder. But then you get Rockets and Vehicles and turn the tables. It’s a three act play of enemy design and you want to throw it in a blender. Fine, it’ll go down easier but it’s not going to taste as good.” And: “It’s like the dance remix of a classic song that skips the intro and the bridge and just thumps the chorus over and over.” Griesemer later offered a potential explanation for this change: “On further analysis I’m sure it’s because the vehicles take damage and so you’re just as likely to destroy the hog as get it over the rocks. If anything that makes it -worse- because -none- of the vehicle tricks are going to work anymore.” “Make it an option” is the biggest red flag for a dysfunctional design. We have no vision for what this is supposed to be, here’s the tools to fix it yourself. — Jaime Griesemer (@32nds) October 25, 2025 Another aspect of Halo: Campaign Evolved that Griesemer has taken issue with is the addition of an optional infinite sprint button. Sprint seems to be the biggest talking point about Halo: Campaign Evolved; while you can choose not to sprint, some are saying using it destroys Halo: Combat Evolved’s classic, considered gameplay pace and thus its sense of wonder. Others say believe it’s essential for the fun factor. Griesemer doesn’t sound like a fan of sprinting in the Halo remake, either. In another tweet, he pointed out that the player was able to sprint into The Silent Cartographer’s shaft vignette so fast that it broke the music transition. “Who is this for?” he asked. Then: “If the world isn’t scaled to sprint, you will be able to trivially skip encounters.” Halo: Campaign Evolved’s Needler, too, has caused quite the kerfuffle. This iconic Halo weapon shoots deadly needles into an enemy, then, after a cool-sounding charge, they explode. The Needler stands out because the ammo — the needles themselves — stick out the top of the gun, so you can easily see how much ammo you have at any given moment. Still, Microsoft saw fit to add an ammo counter on the Needler, just in case. This change has drawn some ridicule online, and Griesemer is clearly not a fan. “By far the most comically unnecessary embellishment in the whole announcement,” he said. "I’m not sure it isn’t intentional satire.” Then: “But why would you add an ammo counter to a weapon that IS an ammo counter in the first place?” By far the most comically unnecessary embellishment in the whole announcement. I’m not sure it isn’t intentional satire. — Jaime Griesemer (@32nds) October 25, 2025 In response to Griesemer's original, now viral tweet on Halo: Campaign Evolved, one user accused the veteran designer of “crying” about nostalgia, to which he responded: “Because I made it right and they are breaking it for no reason.” He continued: “... I think there are dozens of changes (reload speeds, no health packs, falling damage, etc) that make the game 'slicker' but ultimately less interesting.” After Bungie left Halo behind to develop Destiny, Microsoft, via what was known as 343 Industries, continued the franchise with Halo 4, Halo 5: Guardians, and 2021’s Halo: Infinite. The internet would suggest that with these games, Microsoft has struggled to recreate the Bungie “magic,” for want of a better term. Certainly Bungie’s Halo games are more fondly remembered than Microsoft’s. But why has Microsoft struggled so? Griesemer was asked this question, and in his response revealed his thoughts on the idea of remaking Halo and continuing to make new Halo games now, nearly 25 years after Combat Evolved came out. “It’s not the early 2000s anymore,” he said. “Halo is of its time, maybe more than any other game franchise. So they are constantly trying to either take Halo out of 2001 and modernize it (which breaks it) or take players back to 2001 with nostalgia (which is impossible).” “Keep getting them checks.” Remakes and remasters are soul-destroying and I feel for any dev working on one. They can’t win and even if they do they won’t get credit. Bad situation unless you are getting paid $$$. — Jaime Griesemer (@32nds) October 25, 2025 Probably not. But I’m not sure what the point is of a “remake” anyway. Nostalgia? A new generation of fans? Occupying an enormous art team while you figure out what to do? — Jaime Griesemer (@32nds) October 25, 2025 They kept the music and the AI the same, it looks like. I’m glad I can play it on a Sony system. — Jaime Griesemer (@32nds) October 26, 2025 One member of the original Halo team who sounds thrilled with Halo: Campaign Evolved is Marcus Lehto, who was the art director on Combat Evolved and thus heavily involved in the iconic look of Halo itself. Lehto, who recently left the now shuttered Battlefield 6 developer Ridgeline Games (and hit out at EA for not properly credited former staff), offered a positive assessment of Halo Studios’ work. “My honest impression of seeing the new Halo Campaign Evolved is this," he said on X / Twitter. “I absolutely love where this is going. The game looks and feels genuine. It's gorgeous in a way I wish we could have built it originally back in 2001. It warms my heart to see Halo CE like this.” Halo: Campaign Evolved isn’t out until 2026 (and probably near to the game’s 25th anniversary in November), so Halo Studios has time to react to some of the feedback it’s seen and make changes — if that’s what it wants to do, of course. It may stick to its guns on the likes of sprint, those rocks, and the Needler's ammo counter. Meanwhile, the Halo community continues to debate the changes, fussing over every detail and what it means for the tone, feel, and gameplay of Bungie’s seminal shooter. I suspect this will be a running theme well into 2026. We’ve got plenty more on Halo: Campaign Evolved, including why it’s the final nail in the coffin for the Xbox exclusive.

Microsoft Gaming CEO Phil Spencer has assured Forza Motorsport fans that the series isn’t going anywhere, but notes that there won’t be a new entry any time soon. In an interview with Famitsu, which took place before the announcement that a remake of the first Halo is coming to all formats, Spencer was asked if the Halo and Forza Motorsport series had come to an end. Spencer replied that this definitely wasn’t the case, but stressed that Forza Motorsport wasn’t quite as ready for a return yet because Xbox is focused on titles that are closer to release.

Jumping a bridge in an RV There Yet wouldn't have been an issue if it were just you and your buddies attempting the maneuver. However, making your RV cross the bridge by jumping onto it is a challenging task. Your RV is a super-heavy vehicle, but you'll need to make it jump across the bridge in order to reach the final checkpoints. While it might first seem impossible, this guide will help you to make your RV jump across any bridge that you come across in RV There Yet. Table of contentsHow to jump bridges in RV There YetWhy is third gear mandatory for Bridge Jump in RV There YetHow to jump bridges in RV There Yet The two major requirements for your RV to successfully jump bridges are speed and angle. Go too fast or too slow, and you won't be able to make the jump. Choose the wrong angles on the ramp, and you won't be able to make the jump. First, the ramp is essential to make a successful jump. When approaching the ramp, keep your vehicle skewed towards the right. This is essential because your RV will always swerve to the left after landing the jump. If you're keeping your RV straight, it could become very hard to control after making the jump. Keep the steering to the right before you land the RV. Image via Nuggets Entertainment You'll also have to keep your RV in the third gear, and here's the reason. Why is third gear mandatory for Bridge Jump in RV There Yet To make a successful jump, you'll need the perfect combination of speed, acceleration, and torque. You can achieve that by putting your RV in the third gear. If you put it lower, your vehicle won't have any speed to generate the necessary amount of force. If you go for the fourth or fifth gear, you'll be going faster than required. While you'll generate more speed, you'll have less torque and force behind you required for a successful jump. While an accidental fall will damage your RV, you can repair the engine with motor oil to get it going once again. Like our content?

The Eeveelutions have to be some of the most popular Pokémon out there. Eevee is incredibly adorable, and it can evolve into one of seven fantastic new forms, and also into Flareon. Because of the popularity of Eevee and its evolutions, Pokémon TCG cards that feature them tend to be worth a pretty penny. The Master Ball treatment of Umbreon from the set Prismatic Evolutions is a classic example of an expensive Eeveelution.
