GAME-HIVE: Your Ultimate Destination for Gaming News, Reviews, and Tips

ARC Raiders is a unique game among extraction shooters in that there is a very strong social aspect to it. Whenever you play solo (and I consider that to be the quintessential ARC experience), folks will always gauge whether or not to fight you, seeing as you both stand to lose with no one there to back you up. But if you do love hunting people down for sport, you’re in for a world of reckoning when it comes to matchmaking now. Though we’ve known that aggression plays a major part in the game’s queue system, ARC Raiders devs are now looking to honor the right to self-defense by treating unprovoked attacks separately from just minding your own business and fighting to save your hide. In a new post titled “Notes on the matchmaking system,” Embark Studios stated that “your playstyle didn’t capture whether you started a PvP encounter or merely defended yourself” in previous iterations, leading to situations where “cautious R...

After glamorously promising to “make shooters great again” and failing—twice—Studio 1047 Games now wants to create the spiritual successor to one of the most beloved first-person shooter franchises ever made: Titanfall . The game, titled EMPULSE , “is an upcoming fast-paced 6v6 movement shooter,” according to its Steam page , which went live today. It has “wallrun, grapple, and Holojump” and lets you “pilot mechs and P.A.I.N.T. your way through Freehold’s vertical streets.” From the few screengrabs on the page, we see a lot of what can be found in Titanfall proper, what with players casting hooks to get to high-up ledges and some of them using giant robots to gain the upper hand. The Titanfall inspiration is evident. Image via 1047 Games Keep in mind that this game hasn’t yet received a proper announcement and that its development was leaked by Insider Gaming a few days ago . Furthermore, EMPULSE promise...

Destiny 2 players are struggling with the game's lack of content lately, and while it's definitely a "first-world problem" to have, I can sympathize. As a former habitual player, I have felt their pain. When a game becomes a part of your daily routine (for better or worse), it can feel like there's a hole in your day-to-day when things change. And things have changed a lot for Destiny 2 players over the past few years. I haven't touched it in quite some time, and it appears I'm not alone as the game currently has less than 7,000 players on Steam. Image via Bungie It definitely feels as though Destiny 2 is not the main priority for Bungie right now, after it launched Marathon almost three months ago. The extraction shooter's second season is launching in a few weeks, and Destiny 2 has been left in the lurch, with many players opining that it's been sidelined. But for some, they just miss what used to be. "I can't play...

The Bioscanner is a pretty important tool in Subnautica 2 , and we will need to unlock it to reach the end of the campaign in the early access. Moreover, we can also use it to scan alien lifeforms, which gives us more perks like extra Biomods. Like most things inside the game, we will have to find the blueprint for this item before we get to use it. Table of contents Bioscanner blueprint location in Subnautica 2 How to craft the Bioscanner in Subnautica 2 Bioscanner blueprint location in Subnautica 2 To unlock the Bioscanner, we need to scan just one blueprint. However, we will have to travel all the way to the fourth Angel Comb in the Alien Ruins. From there, keep moving upwards until you come across a crashed Alterra starship wreck. Screenshot by Destructoid You can refer to the image above to find the entrance. You'll need the Repair Tool to proceed since one of the key doorways will be inaccessible at first. Repair the door, and head to the next room...

If you want to play upcoming first-party Sony games like Marvel's Wolverine, the God of War Trilogy remake or Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet , you're going to need a PS5 to do so. That's according to a new report from Bloomberg's Jason Schreier who says that PlayStation boss Hermen Hulst revealed to staff today that the company will keep singleplayer PS5 games on the console and no longer bring them to PC. Online multiplayer games such as Marathon , MARVEL Tōkon: Fighting Souls , and the like will remain multiplatform. Image via Naughty Dog PlayStation has been bringing a wide array of its first-party games to PC over the past several years, including the Marvel's Spider-Man games, The Last of Us series, and Ghost of Tsushima on digital storefronts like Steam. That strategy is now apparently changing, so Ghost of Yotei and recently-released SAROS won't be coming to PC after all. The reasoning for the change was not immediately avail...
