Rockstar’s most controversial game is getting a fan-made movie, and it’s even more brutal than its inspiration

Image
Rockstar Games has made many controversial games in its history. One might even argue every game it has ever produced has been controversial. But none ever reached the levels of Manhunt and its brutal, horrifying displays of violence. Now it's coming back, not as a game, but a fan-made movie. As shown by IGN , Manhunt is the title of the upcoming fan-made movie adaptation of the eponymous 2003 game, whose release was covered in controversy and even forbidden in certain countries. Never has a title generated so much bad rep and anti-gaming press, which is not least because there was a strong crowd at the time advocating for banning video games because they were "teaching" kids to be violent and cruel. Rockstar's output was particularly targeted due to the nature of its sandbox titles, where one could take out a chainsaw and cut down an entire city of people, or, as was the case in Manhunt , play as a brutal serial killer going after people in the most despicable ...

Microtransactions are good, actually, Ubisoft claims

Image
Microtransactions are often argued to be one of the worst aspects of modern gaming. They are the primary drive behind "games as a service," and a way for publishers to rake in billions without actually adding to games. And it's fundamentally a good thing, or so Ubisoft would say. Assassin's Creed: Shadows has just received its first batch of Isu-related content in the form of a new quest, A Puzzlement , that ties into the game's main story. And, what's most important, the content is free, added to Shadows with no extra charge as an expansion to the overall narrative. This, apparently, would not have been possible without microtransactions, which Ubisoft argues help enable these content expansions. "Microtransactions, for all the flak it gets, it allows us to do the Isu stuff, the quest stuff, the parkour updates, all of it," said Simon Lemay-Comtois, AC: Shadows ' associate game director ( via IGN ). Post-launch earnings, which are obtained...

Destiny 2’s Star Wars-flavored Renegades DLC still doesn’t make sense to me, but I can’t deny how badass it looks

Image
Destiny 2: Renegades launches next week, and I'm still relatively unsure how to feel about the " Star Wars -inspired" expansion. Renegades still feels to me like Bungie just said "hey, Star Wars is cool, let's do this partnership" just because it could, regardless of how it may fit into the Destiny 2 story. Having blaster weapons and light sabers in Destiny is possible, sure, but it still feels kind of off. But now, I'm not so sure I care anymore. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U_07pVzO5no After today's live stream and ViDoc, I feel more excited about the game than I have in a very long time. I'm still not fully sold on it, but the John Williams-esque soundtrack, good vs. evil sword battles, and being an outlaw in wild space entice me after all. Renegades has its "Jedi" in Aunor, and its "Sith" in Dredgen Bael (who sounds like he's trying to emulate Adam Driver as Kylo Ren a bit too much for my liking), and it...
