Borderlands 4 will be arriving in September 2025 and preorders have already started going live. After some initial controversy around the cost of the game, the price has officially been confirmed by 2K Games. At $70 for the standard edition, the newest Borderlands game in the series is going to be the most expensive so far. Borderlands is set to release on September 12, but there is another related preorder that won't come out until later that same month. The Art of Borderlands 4 oversized coffee table book that features art and commentary from the game's development will be released on September 30. At $55, it is priced closer to what the previous standard edition video games were at launch. Preorder The Art of Borderlands 4 Book The Art of Borderlands 4 was announced last month when the cover was officially revealed. The book itself will feature224 pages in a 9x12-inch format that is perfect for coffee tables or your bookshelf. It features a mixture of sketches, line art, concept art, and commentary about how all of these things went into the development of the new game. With a release date of September 30, the main downside of this art book is that it won't arrive until after the game. So if you were hoping to get an early look at how Borderlands 4 came together visually before you play the game itself, you're out of luck. If you're just a fan of the Borderlands series and want to add this book to your collection, however, it's worth checking out. What Is Amazon's Preorder Price Guarantee? If you've never actually preordered anything from Amazon before, it's worth noting that if you purchase this art book ahead of the release date, it includes Amazon's preorder price guarantee. According to Amazon's own help page, this means that if the price decreases between now and when the item ships, you'll pay the lowest price. So in this case, if this preorder gets a discount before the book actually starts shipping then you'll pay whatever it dropped to rather than the full price. Although not every preorder gets discounted, physical editions of books seem to drop in price fairly often compared to other product categories. With Borderlands 4 arriving a full two weeks ahead of this art book, it seems likely we could see a preorder discount appear somewhere in that window this fall. View the full article

GAMURS Group is expanding into the world of tabletop gaming with its brand-new site, Roll Initiative. Launched on June 16, Roll Initiative is a website focused on tabletop games like the beloved Dungeons and Dragons, and many more besides. With the new site, founding editor Aidan O’Brien “hopes to build something that becomes another thread in the rich tapestry that is the online gaming space,” as stated in Roll Initiative’s official announcement. Roll Initiative is a project built from pure passion for the hobby. “I fell in love with board games and wargaming when I first cracked open Hero Quest in 1989,” O’Brien explains. “Ever since, I have spent countless hours forming incredible memories with my fellow gamers.” O’Brien also explained why he and GAMURS are making this big move now. “I truly believe that right now is one of the best times in the history of this industry. Passionate creatives are working on every kind of game you could imagine, and emergent technologies like 3D Printing allow people all over the world to ignore the limitations of logistics and geography and get their creations to people who can make them in their own homes. I want Roll Initiative to be a place that celebrates that creative ingenuity and helps to shine a light on the incredible talent at work all over the world.” So, what should you expect to see from Roll Initiative? O’Brien promises to do three things: “I will experiment with coverage, I will seek out news, and I will aim to talk to people in the industry about what they make and why.” To top it all off, he hopes to “show you a game you might not otherwise have heard of or introduce you to a book you might otherwise have missed.” With the site now fully launched, you can check out Roll Initiative and all of its upcoming content in the tabletop gaming sphere. If you’re a fan of tabletop, this is the perfect place for you. The post Introducing Roll Initiative, a celebration of all things tabletop gaming appeared first on Destructoid. View the full article
REMATCH has many ways to score a goal, but bicycle kicks are amazing. Using them effectively will showcase your in-game skills and prowess to teammates and opponents alike. Bicycle kicks are one of the many advanced features you'll master over time. However, knowing the controls well will help you better understand the basics. Once done, you'll slowly learn to master them and perform the overhead kicks effortlessly. Notably, these kicks are not easy to perform, and their chance of success in a PvP match will be low. REMATCH Bicycle Kick controls explained The Bicycle kick is a two-task job. First, you'll have to anticipate the ball's trajectory and call for the ball. Next, you must hit the shot right to land your kick. To call for the ball, you'll need to press the R3/RS/Q key on your respective PlayStation/Xbox controller/Keyboard. Pressing this button will make the ball travel quickly towards you. Screenshot via Sloclap You can only successfully hit a Bicycle kick if the ball hasn't reached your foot. Your best help is the green marker, which shows the anticipated path of the ball. There will be a small window before you receive the ball when you get the prompt to perform the kick. Press the R2/RT/Left Mouse Button on your PlayStation/Xbox controller/PC to perform the shot. You'll have to time it perfectly, or else the Bicycle kick attempt won't land. That's all you have to do to perform the Bicycle kick. As stylish as it is, I don't like this option at this stage of the game. Many things can go wrong while trying to anticipate a pass, and performing it in PvP isn't the easiest of tasks. If you still want to improve, I suggest trying it out on the REMATCH practice arena first. Try to master the timing of the shot, as the window of success is very small. Once you have mastered that aspect, focus on anticipating the ball's trajectory precisely. The post How to do a bicycle kick in REMATCH appeared first on Destructoid. View the full article

Gold Bottle Caps are a new one-time use item in Pokémon Go that can increase the stats of a chosen Pokémon. They are a limited item and hardly available in vast quantities, so choosing the Pokémon you want to upgrade the stats of is vital to making the most of the item. But how do they work? And how do you get more? Table of contentsWhat are Gold Bottle Caps in Pokémon Go?How do you get Gold Bottle Caps in Pokémon Go?What are Gold Bottle Caps in Pokémon Go?[Hidden Content] Gold Bottle Caps are new items related to Hyper Trainer, which, when used, allow you to boost the stats of your Pokémon. You can only use a Gold Bottle Cap once on a singular Pokémon, and the Pokémon needs to be a Good Buddy or higher to be used. You can select the Gold Bottle Cap from your inventory, and upon selecting which stats you would like to train, it is used. Once given, it's time to start Hyper Training! You will need to complete various tasks themed to the stat you choose to increase the Pokémon's stats to max. These include: Attack: Battle alongside your Pokémon while they are your buddy.Defense: Play together with your Pokémon, explore, and catch Pokémon while they are your buddy.HP: Explore alongside your ******** with your buddy, spin PokéStops, earn Candy, etc Once you use a Gold Bottle Cap, you have 365 days to complete your Hyper Training tasks to max out that stat. How do you get Gold Bottle Caps in Pokémon Go? Gold Bottle Caps are extremely rare, and currently the only way to get one is to earn it in the new GO Pass Deluxe: Ancients Recovered event from June 23 to 29. You need to have the paid pass to get the Gold Bottle Cap. Gold Bottle Caps will also expire after a set *******, with the first one expiring on July 6. So you can't hold onto them and use them at a later date. You can only increase one statistic as well, which feels pretty harsh considering trainers might need to unlock multiple stats to get a hundo. Scopely has currently not confirmed when the next Gold Bottle Cap will be available, or if they will be purchaseable in the future. So all we can do is wait for them to announce further releases in later events. The post How to get Gold Bottle Caps and use Hyper Training in Pokémon Go appeared first on Destructoid.

You've got Civilization 7, Stellaris, Age of Empires 2, and Manor Lords - in one sense, the 4X and strategy game world is livelier than ever. But some of those names may also feel a little familiar by now. If you've put hours into Firaxis' tentpole series and exhausted some of Paradox's other mainstays, Age of Wonders 4 is the ideal, less-exposed alternative. The ratings are big (we gave it 9/10) and the gameplay is a mix of traditional expansion, extermination, exploration, and exploitation with smaller-scale tactical combat. If you've never given AoW 4 a shot, now is definitely the time.

Razer has unveiled its first barebones gaming keyboard, giving enthusiasts complete control over keycap and switch selection. Better yet, you can grab yourself the Blackwidow V4 75% for just $139.99 if you're willing to do the assembly yourself, saving you $60 on the original list price. The Razer Blackwidow V4 75% remains on our best gaming keyboard list thanks to its brilliant performance, easy key-switch design, and sound dampening.

Fortunately, Razer is now offering enthusiasts the option of stripping out the keycaps altogether for a barebones model. Read the rest of the story...
