Today Activision Blizzard fulfilled its daily oopsie quota by blogging about how the publisher's subsidiaries have apparently been using a special tool to help develop more "diverse" characters. It apparently thinks it can accomplish this without, I don't know, actually talking to or hiring marginalized developers.…

If life were a Scream movie, I would likely have already been trapped under a garage door by now. It would have been punishment for spending $62 on a skort one time and watching Friday the 13th after eating a weed-infused chocolate chip cookie. It really enhanced the ki, ki, ki, ma, ma, ma of hockey mask killer Jason…

     You can register to join next week's MultiVersus alpha

There have been a few attempts to capture the magic of Nintendo's Smash Bros games on PC, and Warner Bros. Games is making a big play for that with MultiVersus. It's a free-to-play fighting game that'll be coming out later this year - but you might be able to jump in for an early preview next week.

MultiVersus, which features a fighter roster drawn from everything from Scooby-Doo to Game of Thrones, will run a closed alpha test May 17 - 29. Participants will be able to try out the 2v2 team mode with characters like Shaggy, Bugs Bunny, and Arya Stark. The test will include players on both consoles and PC, with cross-play support and dedicated server-based rollback netcode enabled.

To register for a chance to participate in the closed alpha, you just need to head to the official MultiVersus site and click on the Closed Alpha Sign Up button. That will prompt you to log in to your Warner Bros. Games account, or to create one if you don't already have one.

     Path of Exile: Sentinel expansion adds monster-buffing drones

Path of Exile's latest expansion, Sentinel, is out now on PC and macOS. The expansion kicks off a new Challenge League in the free PC game, in which the central mechanic is customisable sentinel orbs that follow you around firing magic beams at your enemies. But sentinels aren't here to make your life easier - just the opposite, in fact. Their beams empower monsters and create tougher fights for you to take on.

In the Sentinels Challenge League, you'll find three classes of sentinel scattered around Wraeclast. Stalker sentinels will repeatedly fire monster-empowering beams once you enter combat. Pandemonium sentinels fire one big blast, empowering monsters in a large area. Then there's apex sentinels, which will only charge up rare or unique enemies.

Sentinels only work for a limited time and eventually run out of charge, but you don't want to throw away your empties. Depleted sentinels can be combined with a power core to create a new, fully charged sentinel that takes on traits from each sentinel husk used in its construction. You can further tweak the behaviour of your sentinels with the Sentinel Controller, which Grinding Gear Games says is "like a runic circuit board."

     Capcom announcement countdown capcom licensing agreement changesIn late February, Capcom introduced a new set of guidelines affecting community events that stage matchups of Street Fighter V. Needless to say, it did not go over well. Capcom has at last responded, introducing changes to the Street Fighter V Licensing Agreement. For the most part, small-to-medium tournament organizers should feel some relief. The original agreement by Capcom would have meant that all tournaments would need to be pre-approved by the publisher. Not only that, but the company set a cap on winner earnings. Any event that offered $10,000 or more in a year would need to apply for a license. Single sponsorships were limited to $5,000 per event and $20,000 per year. Tournaments could no longer be held in places where alcohol and gambling took place, such as bar arcades. Capcom also claimed all rights to video and photographs taken during the event.   But Capcom has changed the Community License Agreement, altering many of these rigid guidelines. The company admits it &#...

     Elden Ring dlc expansions colosseums featureElden Ring has been a triumph in almost every conceivable way. FromSoftware's latest action RPG has taken over the gaming community since its release, and provided hundreds of hours of gameplay for dedicated players. Yet, even after providing so much content, there is still a yearning for more of this fantastically designed world. FromSoftware is no stranger to adding significant expansions to its games, so it's not out of the realm of possibility. On top of that, players have already uncovered various unused assets, cut features, and clues that point toward the future of Elden Ring content. Here are just a few of the things we'd like to see from Elden Ring DLC.   A greater take on PvP multiplayer Throughout Elden Ring, you can come across large colosseums in Limgrave, Caelid, and Leyndell. To the dismay of many, these colosseums cannot be entered through any normal means of play. So, why are they there in the first place? Looking at past FromSoftware games provides a clue. ...

     Sega remakes remasters Super Monkey Ball Banana Mania GonGonSega's classic gaming catalog has an incredibly devoted following, and it regularly takes advantage of this fact. The old-school Sonic the Hedgehog games have seen more rereleases than one could count. And thanks to the myriad Genesis collections that have come out over the years, fans don't have to worry about its library potentially becoming lost to time. More recently, Sega has cranked out plenty of remakes and remasters of its most beloved games, with Super Monkey Ball Banana Mania and the unfortunately shoddy Sonic Colors Ultimate standing out as noteworthy examples. It looks like Sega has plenty more where that came from, as it aims to release several titles that fall into the "remake/remaster, spin-off [or] change of theme" category in the near future. Sega revealed this news when discussing its earnings during the previous fiscal year, which ended on March 2022. According to the company, it managed to see increased profits from game sales compared to those o...
