Ubisoft has dropped a new update for Rainbow Six Siege on the PC test servers that adjusts Ranked and tweaks operators, among other things. The full patch notes for Y5S4.3 are outlined below.The leading features of this latest update center around tweaking the game's many operators. Ash's Breaching Round explosive has had its area of effect reduced to two meters, down from 3.5 meters previously. Buck's shotgun ammo capacity has been increased from 26 to 31. Meanwhile, a number of other operators--including Ela, Kali, Lesion, Lion, and three others--have had certain pieces of equipment removed, like the angled grip from Melusi's MP5.The patch also makes a small but notable tweak to Ranked: increasing the cancelation time. Now, disconnected players will have more time to rejoin matches. Furthermore, certain exploits that let players end the first round before it started, which effectively prevented the other team from canceling the match, have been fixed.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

And just like that, the first month of 2021 is nearly over, and it's already time to start looking ahead to the shortest month of the year and what streaming content will be on offer. You can take a look at what Netflix, Shudder, and Hulu have teed up for February--here's a look at Amazon Prime Video for the month coming up.Prime Video is setting the mood right for Valentine's Day by right out of the gate on February 1 offering up tons of rom-coms, romantic misadventures, and all sorts of movies and limited series that explore romantic relationships. Standouts well worth a repeat viewing--or making a point of seeing if it's the first time--include the series Modern Love (adapted from the real-life personal essay New York Times column from the same name) and Fleabag (adapted from Phoebe Waller-Bridge's incredible 2013 one-woman show of the same name about her quest for love). You don't even have to wait until February 1 to watch those, and probably shouldn't, in fact.If romance isn't your thing, director Christopher Nolan's The Prestige is a definite palate cleanser. It hits Prime Video on the first of the month. A mystery-thriller released back in 2006, based on the 1995 novel of the same name by Christoher Priest, the movie follows a cutting rivalry between stage magicians in London at the end of the 19th century. There's definitely no love between Hugh Jackman as Robert Angier and Christian Bale as Alfred Borden as they become obsessed with one-upping each other to achieve the best stage illusion.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

An eagle-eyed fan watching Sesame Street reruns with her child recently spotted actor Ryan Reynolds singing while wearing the letter A way back in 2010. That's pretty much all the setup you need to appreciate and understand the deadpan crack (no pun intended) Reynolds made when responding to the excited fan on Twitter about what a struggle it was to fit into the "A-hole." Check out his tweet below and the originating clip as well. I remember how challenging it was to sing because the A-hole was so tight. But I pushed through because kids all over the country were counting on me. https://t.co/EiXEUjomxE — Ryan Reynolds (@VancityReynolds) January 25, 2021Twitter user Marie Julianna summed things up best in an equally lightning-fast assertion that, "The speed at which [Reynolds can] veer back and forth between filthy and wholesome is delightful." Given the actor's propensity for internet gags, goofs, and pranks, this joke was a nice on-the-fly bonus. It also continues a lengthy streak of antics that include an ongoing fake feud against Hugh Jackman for who can raise the most for charity (which Jackman won in December).Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

Hulu is giving us a brand-new reason to re-watch Palm Springs. This week, the streaming service released a commentary cut for which Hulu is calling the first of its kind in streaming. The commentary track features stars Andy Samberg and Cristin Milioti, as well as director Max Barbakow and screenwriter Andy Siara (with whom Samberg is already working on a new, untitled project).Palm Springs hit during as the doldrums of COVID-19 isolation, and it felt like a perfect fit for the huge shifts we were coming to grips with during that time. The film was an early favorite for 2020 and stood up through the year's releases to come and made it into our best-of lists for 2020."As far as I know, we're the first," Samberg said in an interview with Variety. "We realized that Palm Springs will always be on Hulu, which is great, but there are elements of the DVD experience that just don't exist anymore. They [Hulu] were very amenable in talking about the ways to get some fun stuff in there."Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

Among the new features brought to the World of Assassination by Hitman 3 are permanent shortcuts--doors and ladders you can unlock for quick access to handy paths through levels. Once you find a shortcut and unlock it, it's open in all your subsequent playthroughs of a mission, no matter where you start from. These shortcuts can make it a lot easier to get to sensitive areas or to find particular items, disguises, or assassination opportunities. But in order to unlock them for future use, you'll have to find them the first time, and they usually require a little hunting to find.We've compiled a complete list of all the shortcuts scattered through Hitman 3's six missions, as well as an explanation of how to unlock them. Note that you'll usually need tools, so it's always good to grab a crowbar and screwdriver to make sure you can unlock a shortcut when you get to it. You'll also have to approach shortcuts from the long way around--all shortcut doors are one way until you've opened them, and shortcut ladders have to be dropped from the top. Expect to do some careful infiltration to find them all.Don't forget to check out the rest of our Hitman 3 guides, and to read our Hitman 3 review.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

After arriving to PC players in December, Stardew Valley's big update 1.5 is nearing release on consoles, as well. Developer Eric "ConcernedApe" Barone shared the news on his Twitter account, saying he has submitted the update for certification on the platforms. Once that process is complete, it should be available.Console players: the update is being submitted to certification today. That can take a variable amount of time so I can't make any guarantee about release date. I still feel that my original estimate of late this month or early next month is likely, though. — ConcernedApe (@ConcernedApe) January 23, 2021Barone stressed that this process doesn't always take the same amount of time, so it will likely still be either late January or early February when players can enjoy the new content.

BioWare's Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic is widely considered to be among the best Star Wars games ever made, as well as one of the best licensed role-playing games. Since the second game released in 2004, we've been in the dark on any follow-ups, but a new game is reportedly coming from a completely different company.That's according to VGC as well as Star Wars insider Bespin Bulletin and Nate Najda--better known online as Shinobi602--the new Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic game isn't being made by Electronic Arts or BioWare. Those sources didn't say who would be developing the new game, though Najda seemed to indicate it wasn't going to be a well-known studio.Electronic Arts had been publishing console and PC Star Wars games exclusively for the last several years, beginning with Star Wars: Battlefront in 2015 and eventually leading to games like Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order and Star Wars: Squadrons. The company seemed to be finally hitting its stride with the franchise, though it had also canceled several Star Wars games. However, with Ubisoft's Massive studio now creating an open-world Star Wars game, it appears nearly anyone could be in charge of this apparent new Knights of the Old Republic.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com
