The second act of Destiny 2's first new episode, Echoes, adds two new guns to the list of weapons you can acquire from the episode's activities. Like other episode weapons, you can eventually earn the ability to buy those two guns from Failsafe, the Echoes vendor. However, the ability to "focus" Echoes engrams into Aberrant Action or Corrasion isn't immediately available with the launch of the episode. Instead, you have to earn it as a vendor upgrade by completing Failsafe's tasks.The bad news is that the ability to unlock focusing for Aberrant Action and Corrasion isn't available during the first week of Act 2, even if you grind all the available story and Failsafe content this week. But we have a sense of what you'll need to do to unlock it when it does become available.Both guns are pretty notable: Aberrant Action is a rocket-assisted sidearm and just the third of that type of gun in the game, while Corrasion is a heavy pulse rifle that has a different feel from just about any other pulse. That makes being able to secure god rolls on them through focusing or crafting an enticing proposition.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

Recent changes to World of Warcraft's Classic Era servers are being reverted "immediately," Blizzard has announced, after the developer apologized for failing to discuss "shortsighted" quality-of-life updates to the old-school version of Blizzard's long-running MMORPG.The update, released last week, was originally designed for WoW Classic's more experimental Season of Discovery servers. However, Blizzard intentionally opted to bring some of the changes to the game's non-seasonal Classic Era servers too. Those changes allowed Druids to wield polearms, granted Alliance players a powerful new world buff on par with the Horde's existing Warchief's Blessing buff, and updated the game's guild interface to match that of the modern game.Those changes took the Classic Era community, which generally doesn't enjoy major changes to the (for the most part) 2006 version of WoW, by surprise. Players were so surprised, in fact, that many on Reddit believed the changes had simply been a mistake on Blizzard's part, only to later learn that the changes were indeed intended. Now, Blizzard said those changes (minus the guild UI) are being removed, citing a "lack of communication" that "was not in line with our values."Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

Shooting your friends in Call of Duty never gets old, but sometimes it's fun to mix it up. Modern Warfare 3's Season 5 content drop (which also includes fresh content for Warzone and Warzone Mobile) is coming soon, and it includes 15 new minigames for you and your teammates to enjoy.These minigames are included in the new CoD Warrior mode, which puts three teams of two against each other in a gauntlet of minigames where the first team to win five rounds claims victory for the match. These bite-sized experiences last from 30 to 90 seconds, giving you a variety of weapons depending on each. However, you always have one life in each, with no respawns.The full list of minigames is below. They include "beat up the car," where you and your teammate use sledgehammers to destroy a vehicle; the Matrix-inspired "bullet time," where you use low-velocity weapons in slow-mo and try to dodge fire; and "don't shoot," where you spawn in a circle with a pistol, but shooting it kills you. It's quite a fun collection of games, so check it out when it drops this month.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

Season 1 of The Acolyte has been strange. The production values are great, the performances excellent, the action freakin' awesome. But now that the finale has aired, the response is pretty negative across the board because it doesn't really add up. In other words, we don't really know what's actually going on in this series. We watched a bunch of stuff happen, and it was cool to see, but it's impossible to know what any of it means because we don't have enough information.This article is free of any spoilers for Star Wars: The Acolyte. But you can read a spoiler-filled discussion of The Acolyte season finale here if you'd like to read more.In that sense, The Acolyte is a show that requires a second season, or else it'll end up as an utterly pointless and massively expensive streaming paperweight. Whether it "deserves" another season based on ratings or quality is a separate discussion and not really relevant. What's at issue here is Disney's and the Star Wars brand's relationship with its fans--there's no trust there whatsoever, and for good reason. But it is possible to fix it. Disney just desperately needs to demonstrate some follow-through, something it hasn't shown much of within Star Wars or Marvel in recent years.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

Earlier this week, original Beetlejuice star Winona Ryder revealed that she has been having meetings with director Tim Burton about a sequel for decades. The movie that eventually became Beetlejuice Beetlejuice has been on Ryder's mind for a long time apparently. So much so, that Ryder's contract for Stranger Things included a provision that would allow her to film Beetlejuice 2 if it happened."At the time, Tim [Burton] and I were talking about the Beetlejuice sequel," Ryder told Harper's Bazaar. "There have been moments over the last 15 years where we thought it was going to happen, but that's the thing… it had to be perfect with everybody in order for it to happen. I remember at my first meeting with the Duffer Bros. I said, 'As long as if Beetlejuice 2 happens you'll let me go do that.' They agreed. Luckily it worked out. That was my one condition."Ryder also revealed that she wasn't familiar with Netflix or streaming services when she signed on for Stranger Things. And now, she's been starring in the same series for five seasons over the course of a decade.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

Truff Star Wars Dark Side Hot Sauce $32 (was $40) See at Amazon Amazon is offering a Prime Day Lightning Deal on the recently released Star Wars hot sauce from Truff. The pricey hot sauce released a couple months back in celebration of Star Wars Day. If you thought the Darth Vader-themed collectible bottle looked cool but didn't want to fork over $40 for hot sauce, you can now at least feel a bit better by only spending $32 on hot sauce. At the time of writing, this Lightning Deal was 66% claimed. The deal will be gone soon by default, as Prime Day is set to end tonight at 12 AM PT / 3 PM ET. Truff Star Wars Dark Side Hot Sauce $32 (was $40) The Dark Side Hot Sauce features a flavor profile built around ghost peppers and black winter truffles. Those two unique ingredients should combine to give you a strong kick of heat mixed with an intense earthy note. It's also gluten-free and vegan, so it's safe for those with these dietary restrictions. However, unless you really love the bottle--and it indeed looks awesome--you should probably stay away from Dark Side Hot Sauce if you aren't a fan of very spicy sauces. See at Amazon Truff notes that this is one of their hottest sauces to date. On the Scoville Scale, the Dark Side clocks in at a staggering 800,000 to 1 million SHU. That puts it in line with a standard Ghost Pepper, so again, you might want to reconsider tossing it on your food if you're used to spice from jalapeno peppers or habanero peppers, as this is well beyond your run-of-the-mill heat.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

There have been numerous layoffs and studio closures in 2024, but one of the most-surprising was Microsoft's decision to shut down Tango Gameworks, the studio behind Hi-Fi Rush, The Evil Within, and more. Now, Silent Hill creator and Bokeh Game Studio founder Keiichiro Toyama has shared his thoughts about why Tango Gameworks didn't survive.Tango Gameworks was founded Shinji Mikami, who made his name in the survival horror genre with Resident Evil just as Toyama established himself with Silent Hill. Mikami stayed true to his survival horror roots with Tango's first two games, The Evil Within and The Evil Within 2. According to Toyama, the decision to branch out from that genre may have harmed Tango's long-term prospects."I don't feel it's my place to give them advice, but I think going back to what I said earlier about the balance of routine and preserving the style of your games is relevant," said Toyama while speaking with VGC. "You look at an example like From Software: They keep making different games but certain styles and aspects of their games stay the same. That's an obvious example of how a studio is successful. Not changing everything every time might be the key to life and surviving."Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com
