‘Pokémon Go’ is testing high noon raids

[ad_1] Battle raids are nothing new. If you’ve made it far enough in the game to enter a gym — a virtual space where players can work with or against each other — you know that raid bosses occasionally show up. Players then have to work together to defend the gym. If this first event […]

J Dilla-inspired sampler makes it easy to create beats on your phone

[ad_1] If you ask Elf Audio’s Marek Bereza, many music samplers are too fussy — you’re focused more on making tiny edits than, well, making music. He’s trying to remedy that with his new Koala sampler. Inspired by the late J Dilla’s knack for creating tracks with a BOSS SP-303, the iOS app is not […]

Music streaming services are fighting a big royalties increase

[ad_1] Early last year, the CRB approved a rate hike that would increase royalties by 43.8 percent over a five-year period. The decision wasn’t officially published until this February, at which time a 30-day window for appeals opened, and it looks like the major players are not going to keep quiet. Well, all but one.

‘Apex Legends’ update attempts to balance its most powerful weapons

[ad_1] The Peacekeeper shotgun is also slightly weaker, but it hasn’t been nerfed directly.

Perhaps the biggest hit on both guns, though, is that they’re now […]

[ad_1] This practice is already a common way for developers to profit when gamers don’t want to pay real cash, but as an official Google Play offering, Rewarded Products should make life easier for developers.

‘Yakuza’ spin-off ‘Judgment’ comes to PS4 on June 25th

[ad_1] This new title from Ryu ga Gotoku Studios features private detective Takayuki Yagami (a now-disgraced laywer), who is on the track of a serial killer. Players can follow clues in order to figure out who’s behind these gruesome attacks, and of course, there are plenty of suspects along the way. You can use lock […]

Treasure hunts have come to ‘Fortnite’

[ad_1] As teased inside the game’s newsfeed, treasure maps will allow you to “uncover hidden loot across the island.” Grab the map from floor loot or a chest, travel to the waypoint it highlights and dig (pickaxe) where X marks the spot. Inside you’ll find a bunch of legendary (gold) items, ranging from assault rifles, […]

‘Devil May Cry 5’ reveals the live action mockups behind its cutscenes

[ad_1] Numerous games have offered behind-the-scenes footage that shows how cutscenes came to be. But what if you could play the entire game that way? Capcom, at least, is willing to give that a shot. When Devil May Cry 5 launches on March 8th, the Deluxe Edition will include an option to watch the live […]
