That’s according to Bloomberg, who cited sources familiar with the negotiations between the two companies. This deal was allegedly made as part of Microsoft’s offer to Sony last month, which would see the Call of Duty series kept on PlayStation consoles for 10 years should the acquisition go through. Since Microsoft announced its plans to purchase Activision Blizzard in a record-breaking deal worth $68.7bn, there have been concerns voiced about the presence of Call of Duty on other platforms....

Much like in previous entries, the Modern Warfare 2 M16 features a three-round burst which results in a high Time to Kill (TTK), particularly when gunning for the chest and above. With its effectiveness at mid-long range, it’s a versatile weapon for several modes. However, there is a brief delay between each burst, making precision a must and close-quarters engagements more or less off the table. This page explains how to unlock the M16 in Modern Warfare 2, as well as our recommendations for the best M16 loadout....

So when Activision releases a premium skin bundle that makes it as difficult as possible for you to been seen by opponents, players will buy it in droves. A new operator skin designed by Call of Duty eSports team LA Thieves puts players in an all-black outfit, allowing them to hide in shadows for some poor soul to pass by. The new skin has been labelled as “Roze 2.0”, which is a reference to the Roze skin released for the original Warzone and Modern Warfare (2019)....

Palamutes, rideable mounts with the lithe proportions of an oversized greyhound, are one of Rise’s headline additions, and in keeping with the maximalist design that’s so often defined Monster Hunter it’s not enough to just whisk you from one side of the map to another in record time. Here, it’s all about doing it in style. These things bound and dash, allowing you to sharpen your weapon or neck a potion as you’re in transit, and at the press of a button you can send their arse hanging out as your dog describes a glorious arc, in true Tokyo Drift fashion....

This time around, we’re introduced to Rise’s marshy new Flooded Forest locale - clearly heavily inspired be the Monster Hunter 3 area of the same name, although obviously shorn of its loading screens in Rise - which plays host to monsters both new and old. In the ’new’ category are the sleep-inducing Somnacanth and the Bishaten, described as the “omnivorous trickster”, while returning monsters include the Royal Ludroth and Great Wroggi....

Like Iceborne with World, this offers plenty for seasoned players to get stuck into. While you wait, you can explore new weapon changes coming to the Monster Hunter Rise. This page will cover the Monster Hunter Rise Sunbreak release times on PC and Steam in your region, as well as as the download size so you know what to expect beforehand. The Monster Hunter Rise release times are as follows for all regions on Steam:...

When Sony Bend Studio shared word of Syphon Filter’s new trophies last week, it didn’t confirm whether other PS1 titles would be getting a similar treatment as part of Sony’s revised PlayStation Plus - but with the service now going live, that question has been answered. Achievement tracking website Exophase has revealed trophy lists for four more PS1 games alongside the previously announced Syphon Filter: I.Q. Intelligent Qube, Hot Shots Golf, Ape Escape, and Wild Arms (which, notably, wasn’t on Sony’s previous list of PS Plus inclusions)....

Jeremy Slater, head writer on the upcoming Disney+ series Moon Knight, is on board to write the film. Mortal Kombat came out April 2021 in the US in cinemas and on HBO Max, before launching in the UK a month later. I wasn’t a fan, I’m afraid to say. Thinking about the movie now, the first thing that springs to mind is the cool opening seven minutes (which you can watch in the video below), but it was all downhill from there....

It formalises a partnership that helped make last year’s officially sanctioned 24 Hours of Le Mans Virtual race, with the highly praised handling dynamics of rFactor 2 set to underpin Motorsport Games’ forthcoming takes on BTCC - a hugely anticipated comeback for the series into the virtual domain - and Le Mans. “Studio397 has a clear passion for virtual racing and together we recognised an opportunity to work as one team to advance the genre to the next level,” said Motorsport Games’ president Stephen Hood in an official press release....

HyperX Alloy Origins (HX Red) from HP for £49.99 (was £109.99) Full-size keyboards provide an amazing all-round experience, given you’re getting the full complement of keys, including both a number pad and nav cluster, which are usually omitted from more enthusiast-grade layouts, such as TKLs, 65 percent or even 40 percent boards. It must also be said that as the Alloy Origins’ frame is comprised from aircraft-grade aluminium that it should also be pretty sturdy, too....

The US-focused licensing deal is for theatrically released Sony films, beginning with its 2022 slate. It means Netflix has “first pay window” rights to stream these films following their theatrical and home entertainment windows. The streaming deal spans five years, The New York Times said. Tentpoles such as Morbius, Uncharted, Where the Crawdads Sing, and Bullet Train will be among the initial 2022 offerings, Netflix said. They will be followed by the sequel to Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse and several more films featuring Marvel characters, including future instalments of Venom and Spider-Man; and expected follow-ups for the Jumanji and Bad Boys franchises....

The ruling comes after both Bowser and US prosecutors respectively petitioned for both more lenient and heavier jail stretches. Bowser’s lawyers had suggested 19 months, while the US government wanted five years. The end result is somewhere in the middle. Bowser had already accepted his guilt and agreed to a $4.5m fine. Separately, Bowser has accepted an additional $10m fine to settle Nintendo’s own civil lawsuit against him. The US government had argued Bowser should serve a lengthier sentence as the case had been so high profile - essentially, as a warning to others....

Both Nintendo of America and Aston Carter, a company Nintendo uses to recruit workers, have been referred to the National Labor Relations Board over the matter, which alleges that a worker suffered over the company’s “coercive rules”. The complaint was first reported by Axios, which stated that allegations of this nature typically relate to cases where a worker claims a company has interfered with their right to unionise or discuss working conditions....

Fortunately, there are a pretty wide range of methods for doing so. Money - referred to in-game as Units - can be earned through mining, trading, piracy, and even botany in No Man’s Sky, and as such there’s a fair bit of confusing or contradictory advice over how best to go about earning it, particularly when you want to do so as quickly or efficiently as possible. On this page, we’ll hope to clear some of that up, through an explanation of what we believe to be the fastest method for how to earn money fast in No Man’s Sky - from Whispering Eggs, we reckon!...

The RTX 3090 Ti retails for £1879 in the UK and $1999 in the US, making it a hefty £480/$500 more expensive than its predecessor - that’s a 33 percent markup on what is already an expensive part. In exchange, you get a fully-unlocked GA102 die with 2.4 percent more CUDA cores, a 9.4 percent higher boost clock, a 7.7 percent higher memory clock and a 29 percent higher rated power draw....

Alien Soldier and Light Crusader lead the way, the former a boss-rush side-scroller that plays out as if Jeff Minter had a hand in a Gunstar Heroes remix, the latter an action adventure that sits apart from the rest of Treasure’s back catalogue with its darker fantasy tone. Also I’ve not played it anyway near as much as the rest of Treasure’s games and can’t wait to get properly acquainted with it now it’s on Switch....

A Venturebeat report into the Vienna-based company includes various details on Moon Studios founders Thomas Mahler and Gennadiy Korol, who it is claimed fostered a work environment where anyone could speak their mind without fear of reprisal. But this approach led to the founders insulting each other and their staff on several occasions, the report alleges. One example - feedback from both men on an internal report - included the comments “nobody cares what you think really” and “lol, you’re retarded”....

u/FidgetSpinnetMan recently took to the Overwatch subreddit to report the issue, including an image that shows how Lucio’s Snow Fox skin and its icy visual effect can be seen from long distances across the map - including through walls (thanks, PCGN). “BUG REPORT: I was playing a game and I noticed that the enemy Lucio was visible through the walls,” they wrote in a post that has received two thousand upvotes....

Unlike EXP, which increases when fighting Shadows and exploring dungeons, these slowly increase one by one depending on which characters you interact with, or food or media you consume on your limited timetable. In turn, that increases your effectiveness in battle. Since your free time is limited, you need to be efficient about increasing your Social Stats. Thankfully, Persona 5 Royal makes raising the five different ranks easier than Persona 5 with some new methods....
