From its scenic landscapes to sharp action, Ghost of Tsushima has plenty of strong selling points. One of its best and most distinctive features, though, is the game's collection of foxes, wild canines that lead players to Inari shrines and definitely deserve a pat on the head afterward for their hard work.They're also even better now, as a new update for Ghost of Tsushima and its Ikki Island expansion has added a lethal amount of charm to foxes inside of the game. As spotted by Twitter's most important account, Can You Pet The Dog, foxes will now happily tap their feet on the ground in anticipation of a belly rub.A recent update for Ghost of Tsushima added unique fox animations. Now the foxes happily tap their feet in anticipation of pets, and players can also enjoy brand-new belly rubs. pic.twitter.com/eRTim9gvsd — Can You Pet the Dog? (@CanYouPetTheDog) September 3, 2021There are of course other animals that you can pet on Iki Island, but nothing beats the enthusiasm of a fox doing a quick tap dance. In the base game, foxes would lead players to well-hidden shrines that contained various charms which could be collected.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

When I was a kid, Japanese anime wasn't prevalent like it is now, but there were still entry points into this world. From Robotech, Thundercats, and other series invading Saturday morning cartoons, the '80s gave us a glimpse into the growing popularity of anime in Japan. While I've dabbled with anime in the '90s and '00s, I never really got into it and didn't know how to find it. Considering how immensely popular anime has become--and how widely available it is--I figured now is probably a good time to start watching.On this journey to discover new anime, I decided to try and find things I've never heard of before. I've watched Death Note, got eight episodes into One Piece before deciding I don't have the time to watch all of it, and even tried my hand at Attack on Titan at one point. However, I haven't found that one show that really speaks to me, and considering how broad a medium anime is, there has to be something for me, right?Through the magic of Funimation's large catalog, I decided to go on a journey to find an anime I could get into that was brand-new to me. How did I do this? Did I ask a friend who loves anime anime for recommendations or find something I vaguely knew about? No. I did this the way that I would quickly find is the worst way to pick out an anime: by the title alone.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

Just about every week brings something new to Destiny 2, whether it's story beats, new activities, or interesting new combinations of elements that let players devastate each other in the Crucible. Iron Banter is our weekly look at what's going on in the world of Destiny and a rundown of what's drawing our attention across the solar system.I have to say, I'm loving the way Destiny 2 has been telling stories this year. Weekly seasonal story beats coupled with new activities to explore has provided a great way to drop into the game, even just for an hour or two, and watch the world expand and unfold. This week, we got a new creepy conversation with Savathun, listened as Mara Sov let the mask slip as relates to her late brother Uldren, and wandered around an excellently fragmented new Shattered Realm area. But just as with the seasons before it, it's the story that continues to enthrall me.Queens' GambitsOn a stream last week, Destiny 2's new creative director, Joe Blackburn, described the Season of the Lost as being something like The Silence of the Lambs with the presence of scary Hive god Savathun just hanging around. Like the frighteningly calm Hannibal Lecter in that movie, Savathun is already working on us. This week, she said a lot of cryptic things about what's really going on in Destiny's story, hinting at there being something more frightening and more powerful over and above the game's central conflict between Light and Darkness.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

Wonder Woman director Patty Jenkins has shared her thoughts on the ongoing changes in the movie landscape as more films launch on streaming services day one. She said the decision to bring Wonder Woman 1984 to HBO Max was a "very, very, very difficult choice," and it was the best the company could do under trying circumstances with the pandemic. But she said releasing on HBO Max was "hugely detrimental" to the movie, and she went on to criticize movies that come to streaming services as being "fake movies.""I was looking at what is actually turning out to be true, which is, we have no idea when this pandemic is going to get under control in the way that we hoped," she said at CinemaCon recently, as reported by the LA Times. "It was the best choice of a bunch of very bad choices at the moment. It was a heartbreaking experience and hugely detrimental to the movie, and I sort of knew that could happen."Jenkins acknowledged that she was "happy to give the movie to the public," and it was the right choice overall with all factors considered. Looking ahead, Jenkins said she hopes her movies can avoid the day-and-date release strategy in the future. (Warner Bros. has announced it won't bring back day-and-date movies in 2022, instead opting for 45-day exclusive windows with theaters).Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

In an interview with GamesIndustry.biz, publisher 505 Games acknowledged the controversy around the upgrade path for Control Ultimate Edition on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S.When Control Ultimate Edition was first announced last year, it was revealed that those who had bought the original Control back in 2019 for PS4 and Xbox One would not be able to upgrade that copy of the game to the Ultimate Edition.

While Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings provided no shortage of unexpected twists for the MCU, perhaps the biggest was the return of not one but two long forgotten faces--Tim Roth's Abomination, last seen in the Edward Norton Incredible Hulk movie, who was teased in the trailers, and another (arguably more surprising) special appearance who went on to play a core role in the film.This article includes spoilers for Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings, please proceed with caution.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

There's a new Cyberpunk 2077 mod available to download on PC that adds a healthcare system, one in which you pay a premium for a team of trained in-game medical professionals to revive you really quick.The mod, Death Alternative by Nexus Mods user 3nvy, circumvents the death screen by giving you an option to revive in a nearby hotel room. Which room is anyone's guess, but the amount of time treatment takes and the Eddies needed to activate a package is dependent on which tier you select. There are three available: Silver (10,000), Gold (25,000, and Platinum (50,000), which restore 25%, 50%, or 100% of your life, respectively.This is how it works: You head over to the Trauma Team building located in the MedCenter, where you then select one of the three available plans. There's no cost upfront, so you could choose the Platinum tier if you want. Once you die, you're asked if you want to revive or go out the old-fashioned way: Watching the death screen and reloading a previous save. If you have enough Eddies in your pocket for your chosen plan, you'll revive at a hotel room. End up short on funds and the Trauma Team cancels your insurance.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

While Black Widow may have been the first official entry into the MCU's Phase 4, its flashback status (and the ultimate fate of Black Widow herself) made it a foregone conclusion.

Livestreamers, especially those from marginalized communities, often face targeted hate and harassment on streaming platforms. This has resulted in many streamers banding together to call for more action from platforms themselves--and it has also given third-party streaming tech companies an opportunity to fill the gap. Today, streaming software company Streamlabs announced Safe Mode, a way for people to block hateful and harassing messages from showing up on streams.Safe Mode works from within Streamlabs to protect a streamer's feed and live chat from malicious users. In essence, the tool provides a number of restrictions and filters that grant more control over who can interact with a stream. You can select as many or as few of these options as you'd like, and they run the gamut from features already implemented in Twitch like emote-only chat to new features like clearing all recent events and queued raid alerts.Safe Mode will be available to all users of Streamlabs, regardless of whether or not they pay for Streamlabs' premium options. Streamlabs' announcement of Safe Mode comes on the heels of #ADayOffTwitch, a protest against Twitch organized by ShineyPen, Lucia Everblack, and RekItRaven designed to raise awareness about the issues facing streamers from marginalized communities. The protest and its associated Twitter campaign #TwitchDoBetter began following a wave of coordinated "hate raids," which involved bots and malicious actors flooding a streamer's chat with racist, bigoted, and violent material.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com
