     Modern Warfare 3 reimagines the infamous No Russian, but should it?

The timelines of the modern Call of Duty continuity are somewhat convoluted. 2019's Modern Warfare reboot borrowed elements of the 2007 original's plot, as well as many of its key characters, with new looks and voice actors. With a more varied cast in tow and a reworked plot that emphasized individual characterization, the game managed to side-step some of the criticisms of the original while stumbling into new controversies of its own.

We've also included some characters who are rumored to join the free PC game down the line but may not have an in-game model just yet.

When is the Football Manager 2024 release date? It's fair to say that Football Manager 2023 wasn't exactly what fans wanted from Sports Interactive. While FM23 has been touted by the devs as their most-played game of all time, the Football Manager community was disappointed by the lack of communication from the developers. In a surprising turn of events, SI has announced its plans for FM24 and FM25 to keep the game's biggest fans in the loop.

With the Football Manager 2024 release date right around the corner, SI has revealed important information regarding the upcoming game. FM24 is said to be the "last of its kind", with the studio manager of SI referring to the strategy game as "the most complete version of Football Manager to date".

October 31, 2023: We added four new Untitled Boxing Game codes.

What are the new Untitled Boxing Game codes? These freebies will light your fists on fire with tons of extra spins. This relatively secretive Roblox brawler is gearing up for a big release, and its dynamic camera and fancy footwork already have it feeling like a beat-'em-up poised for the big leagues. Climb into the ring and fight fair. Just use a few codes beforehand. Nobody needs to know.

Untitled Boxing Game certainly looks like it's very early into development, but the core functionality is all there. And it's a riot. Ready your fists and challenge anyone in the area to a punching match. If they don't take kindly to your uncalled-for throw of hands, you'll soon hear those bells ringing. Stand your ground, stay on your toes, and keep your head in the game. And if you can't quite cut it, we have plenty of Shinobi Life 2 codes for you to use instead, with Blox Fruits codes and King Legacy codes available if you're more of a pirate than a ninja.

     Roblox music codes October 2023 – the best song IDs

October 31, 2023 We checked that the best Roblox music codes were valid.

What are the latest Roblox music codes? There are thousands of popular songs available to listen to in Roblox, simply by entering music ID codes into your boombox or the radio. Using song IDs, you can play your favorite TikTok songs in games with your friends.

So how do you play music in Roblox? The method varies depending on which game you want to blast your tunes in. Some games allow you free access to the boombox - simply equip and press it to bring up a text box in which you can enter a song ID code. Catalog Heaven is a great place to test the Roblox music codes you find, as it allows you to equip any boombox in the shop and try it out.

In most games, however, you'll need to use the radio to play music. This is usually part of a paid Game Pass - the price of a Game Pass is set by each game developer individually. Once you have access to the radio, you can use it in the same way as the boombox - simply enter the song ID code and press play. Occasionally, tracks are taken down by Roblox, so if a code stops working, you'll have to look for a replacement. Here are the best radio music codes in Roblox that work in August 2023.

In Ro Ghoul, you take on the role of either an investigator or a ghoul as you try and defeat the other group and stay alive. The great thing about Ro Ghoul is that you can change your role each time you load into a new server to try both out. If you're after some bonus in-game currency, we've got all the latest Ro Ghoul codes you need, but if you're here, then you're a Roblox fan, so you should also take a look at the latest Roblox music codes and all the most up-to-date Roblox promo codes.

Counter-Strike 2 is a free upgrade to Counter-Strike: Global Offensive, reusing a number of important elements that fans know and love such as CSGO console commands and the CSGO ranks system. While the free PC game retains the same competitive energy, Valve has put a fresh coat of paint on maps and visuals.

Where do you find the Alan Wake 2 lighthouse key? During the course of Saga's journey to find out just what's happening in Cauldron Lake and the nearby town of Bright Falls, you may stumble across a lighthouse east of the trailer park in in Watery, WA. However, no matter how enticing the contents inside might be, there's pretty much no way you can get inside as the door is locked.

No problem, you might think. After all, the Alan Wake 2 lighthouse key must be nearby, right? I'm afraid that it's not as simple as locating the key nearby. You'll have to explore all of the horror game's many areas as Saga, collecting caches along the way. Of course, you'll need all the Alan Wake 2 weapons and the Alan Wake 2 Words of Power to get past all the Taken in one piece.

Modern Warfare 3 is now confirmed to be just about as big as recent Call of Duty entries, which shouldn't come as a surprise to anyone. If anything, CoD games are only getting bigger, so the unexpected part is that the base game is only 78GB. That number jumps up to a massive 149GB if you also include the Call of Duty Headquarters launcher along with Warzone - two downloads that feel mandatory for the full CoD experience at this point. For context, that's as big as Baldur's Gate 3, and ten times the size of the 2011 version of MW3.

It's an important question, and those of us with thousands of hours, skins, and - most importantly- dollars invested in the FPS want to know the answer before we commit to a new grind. There's a huge market for CSGO skins, so the developers are treading on thin ice when it comes to the future of this digital asset.

Owning Counter-Strike 2 skins isn't just about making a fashion statement. It's about putting your mark on your implements of death. It's about showing off your expertise, and, occasionally, selling on for a decent profit - maybe just wait for the skin prices to calm down a little before you decide on investing too much. Now that the Counter-Strike 2 release date is finally here, this is everything you need to know about CS2 skins before you jump in.

In smashing news for the galaxy's irrational planet-haters, some adept tinkerer has created a Starfield mod that lets you build your own space-stations. Mind you, it appears the associated functionality was secretly part of Bethesda's sci-fi RPG all along, perhaps destined to be unlocked by a DLC pack, like a slumbering fairytale royal awaiting true love's kiss.

The modder in question is vexthecollector, whose catchily-named Spacestations for Outposts lets you bolt together hab modules, windows and docking bays to fashion your very own Deep Space Nine. Sadly for my character, the acutely terra-phobic star pirate Mary Read, you'll need to first build an outpost on a planet in order to access the goods.

Headless enemies aren't exactly a new concept in games, so I'm not sure why the Headless in Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice instills such dread in me. It's so terrifying to face that I almost didn't write this post, because I knew I'd have to drop into its heinous lair in order to take the screenshot you see above.

But I'm a brave boy, so I dropped in, and of course died almost instantly. Sekiro is still one of the toughest soulslikes around, absolutely filled with extremely dangerous bosses and twisted body-horror monstrosities that can carve you up with just a couple of hits, sending you back to the last checkpoint bereft of all your XP. But the Headless scares me so much, I actively avoid facing it until I have absolutely no choice.

A lot of them have been cursed by their creators to narrate everything they do, as they do it, incase the meatsacks controlling them are unable to parse even one second of what is happening on screen without direction. I love HZD's Aloy, but does she ever just stream-of-consciousness her way through life.

In contrast, the nameless protagonist in Don't Nod's new climbing puzzle adventure (what even are genres?) is also silent. There are no other NPCs. You are climbing up through the ruins of an old civilisation. As such, Jusant relies on the devs having crafted an understandable world that you can barely interact with, aside from painstakingly climbing across it like a spidery archaeologist. You've got to have faith in your environmental storytelling if you're making a game like that. And Don't Nod have nailed it.

A little knowledge can be worse than no knowledge at all. I know a little about the Yakuza series, having reviewed the 1980s-set Yakuza Zero for this very parish in 2018, and tried a bit of 2019's turn-based battler Yakuza: Like A Dragon. Fast-forward to 2023, and all Yakuza games are now Like A Dragon games, including the forthcoming Like A Dragon: Infinite Wealth, which is an... Animal Crossing game, actually? With skateboarding? I'm still getting my head around the existence of a zombie spin-off, Dead Souls, to say nothing of the samurai-era Like A Dragon: Ishin. And then there's the inter-quel Like a Dragon Gaiden, due this November, which seems like a relatively straight-laced delve into the past of original protagonist Kazuma Kiryu. Phew, it's just as well Ed Thorn wrote that guide to the order you should play the Yakuza games in.

It sounds like the developers at Ryu ga Gotoku Studio have a hard time keeping track themselves, especially given the rate at which Sega publish Like A Dragon games. According to studio director Masayoshi Yokoyama, Like A Dragon's creators feel a lot of pressure to get the games done quickly, not just with a view to making money but because as projects that riff so copiously on pop culture, Like A Dragon stories go out of date fast.

I am sure an honest, self-respecting Tolkienian fantasy dwarf would, if I pinched his apple cheeks and told him he's very endearing, he'd at best glare at me and at worst kneecap me with his axe. And yet! That's a large part of what I enjoy about the new subterranean survival-craft-'em-up The Lord Of The Rings: Return To Moria. It's a slower, more weighty survival game than you might be used to if you're a Valheim or ARK type, for example, and you'll spend a lot of your time in the dark. But what is this, a survival game for elves? No sir. And besides, like I said, it's rather sweet. Cosy, even.

Every weekend, indie devs show off current work on Twitter's #screenshotsaturday tag. And every Monday, I bring you a selection of these snaps and clips. Well, usually on Monday; yesterday I was instead up in the Highlands admiring autumn. But today! Today my eye has been caught by an even greater quantity of grappling hooks and slick movement tricks than usual, along with some chill scenes, typing violence, and giving ghosts the finger.

I've only just read Sin's thoughts on Akuma Kira's Lunacid and lo and behold, the PS1-styled, first-person dungeon crawler has now released out of Steam Early Access, to considerable rejoicing. Lunacid is a homage to classic FromSoftware games - no, not that juvenile upstart Dark Souls, but King's Field and Shadow's Tower, which date back to the late 1990s.

I played one of the King's Field games as a sprog and found it to be an extended cave system full of lava, demons and torment. Lunacid sort of applies the perspective and medieval fantasy combat of that series to a story reminiscent of Demon's Souls - the From-alike that spurred the Japanese studio to international fame - with a world that has been flooded with toxic mist by a "sleeping old one below". Your job, as some unfortunate outcast chucked into a pit, is to journey downward and confront this mysterious creature, using any and all combinations of rapiers, clubs and fireballs. Off you go then.

As a result of the My Time at Sandrock porting process, My Time at Portia Switch loading times will eventually decrease.

Pathea Games took to social media to show how My Time at Sandrock development helped with My Time at Portia Switch loading times. Due to work on the sequel ports, the team was able to improve the original game.

The update noted that when working on the console versions of My Time at Sandrock, new "optimization techniques" came up. The team then went back to the original game to see how that would work on the first game in the series. The work still isn't done yet, as the new patch is in Q&A. Once done, it will be handed over to Nintendo and, after that, an update will eventually be released. There's no release window for that new patch yet, however.

Here's the video showing the exact comparison. Entering the Portia Commerce Guild involves 4.02 seconds of loading in My Time at Portia Switch after the update. The original took 7.23 seconds. Leaving the building to go back into town will take 6.33 seconds after the update, compared to 9.11 before.

https://twitter.com/MyTimeAtPortia/status/1719333005419045061

As a reminder, lag and loading times were both issues when the original game debuted on the Switch in 2019.

My Time at Portia is available for the PS4, Switch, Xbox One, PC, and mobile devices, and My Time at Sandrock will come to the PS5, Switch, Xbox One, Xbox Series X, and PC on November 2, 2023.

Black Lagoon will fill the final 2023 collaboration slot for PSO2: New Genesis.

These titles were eventually revealed to be Uncle from Another World, Oshi no Ko, Spriggan, Frame Arms, and Black Lagoon.

Castlevania Legends Nintendo Switch Online

Nintendo announced the October 2023 additions to the Nintendo Switch Online library. The newest titles people can play on the Switch are Castlevania Legends (Game Boy), Devil World (NES) and The Mysterious Murasame Castle (NES).

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=curf8onLZ7I

Castlevania Legends was a Game Boy title originally conceived as a prequel to the entire Castlevania series before appearing on NIntendo Switch Online. You play as Sonia Belmont battling the first incarnation of Dracula in the series' classic style. Due to the game now being considered non-canon, it was left out of the Castlevania Collection released a few years ago.

Devil World is notable for being Shigeru Miyamoto's first console-only game. It's similar to Pac-Man, only instead of pellets, you're collecting crucifixes to defeat the devil. Its original NES release was blocked by Nintendo of America due to policies around religious imagery. This makes the Nintendo Switch Online release its debut in North America. The game's devil character has been seen in the Super Smash Bros series as an Assist Trophy.

The Mysterious Murasame Castle was originally released shortly after The Legend of Zelda in 1986 and shares a lot of similarities. You play as Takamaru, a samurai apprentice who is tasked with taking down four evil lords and an alien entity. While originally a Japan exclusive, this game later saw a worldwide 3DS Virtual Console release. Just like the Devil World antagonist, Takamaru has also appeared an Assist Trophy in the Super Smash Bros series.

While these are the October 2023 releases for the basic Nintendo Switch Online service, Mario Party 3 was also released separately recently for the higher-tier Expansion Pack.

All October 2023 additions are all available now through Nintendo Switch Online.

New Felicia Darkstalkers Bishoujo Figure Recolor Appears

Kotobukiya announced it is now taking pre-orders for its Bishoujo Felicia Darkstalkers figure. The recolor model is expected to release in December 2023 in Japan for 16,500円 (~$109), with Big Bad Toy Store selling it for $154.99 in February 2024.

This is a limited edition version of the character. It features a black and orange color scheme for her outfit and paw pads, which extends to the base she's standing on. Instead of blue hair and eyes, she has purple ones instead. The pose is identical to the other variant, however, with only the color scheme changing for this version.

Here's a closer look at the figure with her box, as well as one from Kotobukiya showing it alongside the original version of the statue.

As a reminder, you can already find the standard version of the figure. Kotobukiya released that worldwide back in 2022. That featured the character in her standard white costume with blue hair. That collection also includes Morrigan and Lilith

As a reminder, you can find the Darkstalkers games in Capcom Fighting Collection on the PS4, Switch, Xbox One, and PC. A Darkstalkers: Hsien-Ko comic also appeared at the beginning of October 2023.

The Kotobukiya Felicia Darkstalkers Bishoujo figure variant will appear in Japan in December 2023 and North America in February 2024.

FFVII Ever Crisis Werewolf Zack Pumpkin Glenn

Square Enix and Applibot announced two new FFVII Ever Crisis Halloween costumes and weapons for Zack and Glenn based on a werewolf and pumpkin. The new Weapon Featured Draw is now available, and its costumes can be obtained through the Stamp Card.

The new costumes for Zack and Glenn are called Black Hound and Pumpkinmare, respectively. The Black Hound costume gives wolf ears to Zack, as well as an orange hoodie and a black jacket with spikes. This could be a reference to Angeal referring to him as a "puppy" throughout Crisis Core FFVII. The Pumpkinmare costume gives Glenn a leather cape, full-head pumpkin mask, and an ornate top hat.

Meanwhile, Zack's new five-star weapon is the Black Whiskers sword, and Glenn's weapon is the Pumpkin Lamppost. You can take a better look at the new Werewolf Zack and Pumpkin Glenn costumes and weapons for the FFVII Ever Crisis Pumpkin Fest Halloween event here:

Deltarune Chapters 3 and 4 Will Be Released Before Chapter 5

People won't need to wait for Deltarune Chapter 5 to release before getting to play Chapters 3 and 4. Toby Fox's Halloween 2023 newsletter confirmed 3 and 4 will be available to purchase when 4 is finished.

The newsletter began with an update on Deltarune Chapter 3. This is the first since the September 2023 update that went over the removed stealth section. Fox described it as "content complete" and also said that someone already played through the chapter from beginning to end in its current state.

After the update about Chapter 3 being complete, Fox went over why the plan changed from releasing it at the same time as Chapters 4 and 5. Fox specifically said, "My original plan was to release Chapter 3, 4, and 5 together. However, the finish line of Chapter 5 is still pretty far off... and I don't think anybody really wants to wait that long to release anything. Especially me." 

As for the Deltarune Chapter 4 update, there's a new producer working on it and both some cutscenes and enemies are done.

Deltarune Chapter 2 arrived on consoles and PCs back in September 2021. While the first two chapters were free, the third, fourth, and fifth ones will cost money.

Deltarune Chapters 3, 4, and 5 are in development for PCs and other platforms. People can sign up for the official mailing list on the website for additional updates.

HoYoverse set a new time and date for the rescheduled Genshin Impact Special Program 4.2. It will now air at 5:10am PT/8:10am ET/2:10pm CET on November 3, 2023.

As a reminder, the Genshin Impact stream was supposed to appear on October 27, 2023. The company abruptly delayed it a few hours before the airdate. It didn't offer any explanation for the postponement at the time. Sony's official social media account even shared a scheduled post with screenshots and the November 8, 2023 launch date for 4.2.

The presentation will appear on Twitch first, as usual. Then an hour after that, people will be able to catch a rebroadcast of it on YouTube. The official art on the new social media post still shows Lumine, Furina, and Neuvillette, suggesting all three will be the hosts of the showcase.

We do already know some details about what's to come. Both Furina, the Hydro Archon, and Charlotte will be new playable characters following the update. Both already appeared in the game as NPCs.

Note that this will be a busy day. The Honkai: Star Rail Special Program for 1.5 will also air on November 3, 2023. That will appear before the Genshin Impact one, however.

We also know the voice actors for these characters. Here is the Japanese cast for the three:

  • Dr Ratio: Shunsuke Takeuchi (Revolver in Yu-Gi-Oh Vrains)
  • Ruan Mei: Saori Onishi (Eriri Spencer Sawamura in Saekano)

nintendo museum

Nintendo unveiled the sign for its upcoming Nintendo Museum. The sign looks like the present day Nintendo logo, with the word "Museum" underneath it. [Thanks, Famitsu!]

The company uploaded the image of the Nintendo Museum on its Instagram account. When it finishes in late March 2024, you'll be able to go in and check out all of the products that Nintendo released in the past. This will likely include consoles (much like the display in the Nintendo shop in New York) and accessories like R.O.B. There is also a ? Block on top of the roof. Nintendo first unveiled this aspect of the building in its September 14, 2023 Nintendo Direct stream.

News of the museum and gallery first appeared in 2021. Nintendo is building it in Uji, Kyoto. The reason why it's building it in Kyoto is likely due to the fact that Nintendo opened its first HQ in Kyoto back in 1889. Back then, Nintendo made hanafuda cards and playing cards. There's a chance that the museum and gallery will also introduce that aspect of Nintendo's history, instead of simply starting from its video game ventures. For reference, Nintendo first started working on video games in 1972.

The Nintendo Museum should finish construction in March 2024.

     Of all the studios under Sony's purview, Insomniac Games is, without any shadow of a doubt, currently the best. Since Sony acquired them in 2019 they've released two successful console titles in Spider-Man: Miles Morales and Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart, plus a solid VR title in Stormlands and a remaster of their first Spider-Man game. Now, five years after the first one, they've released Marvel's Spider-Man 2 and will follow up in a year or two with a Wolverine game as well which I have no doubt is going to be excellent. Not only are Insomniac delivering high-quality videogames, but they are doing it with a level of consistency that is arguably unmatched.
