Killzone developer Guerrilla Games had a smash hit with 2017's Horizon: Zero Dawn, and the sequel Horizon: Forbidden West is set to release later this year. However, it appears the Killzone franchise may have been a casualty of this success. The official Killzone website is no longer available, instead directing players to visit the main PlayStation site in its place.As spotted by VGC, the official Killzone site now only shows a notice page letting visitors know it has been "retired" and that it will soon forward them to PlayStation.com instead. You can no longer create or manage clans in the PS4 launch game Killzone: Shadow Fall, either, though you can still play online multiplayer in the game as normal."Thank you to Killzone.com's many fans and visitors throughout the years for their enthusiasm and support," Guerrilla Games said on the site.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

As one of the most-anticipated games of 2021, Gotham Knights has some big bat-shaped boots to fill when you take to the streets as one of Batman's four protégés. While the Batman: Arkham series of video games focused on a lone caped crusader, developer Warner Bros. Montreal is taking a different approach and emphasizing co-op play as you protect the city in the wake of Batman's death."We have entirely redesigned the combat system in order for it to work well in co-op," executive producer Fleur Marty said to GamesRadar. "Of course, we're still a brawler, and some of the mechanics won't feel totally alien for people who played and enjoyed the Arkham series, but it is in many ways very different."According to creative director Patrick Redding, the drop-in and drop-out co-op gameplay resulted in a redesign of Gotham City, so that enemy encounters wouldn't feel claustrophobic. "Gotham is a city of alleyways and rooftops, so the footprint for gameplay needs to be compatible with that," Redding explained.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

Hunters can pick up the Sealed Ahamkara Grasps gauntlets; for Titans, there's the Antaeus Wards leg armor; and for Warlocks, Xur has the Getaway Artist gauntlets.Xur LocationClimb the cliff at the north end of Winding Cove to find Xur standing beside a crashed Fallen dropship.Head to the Winding Cove transmat zone and spawn in, then jump on your sparrow and head north. Make your way to the northern edge of the area and either climb the rock wall there or find a cave pathway on the left side, near the curving highway road. You'll find Xur above, standing beside a crashed Fallen dropship.Xur Exotic ItemsXur's weapon for this week is Telesto, a longtime mainstay in a lot of Guardians' arsenals. It's a fusion rifle that fires sticky explosive energy, which means that even if you miss your shot, Telesto can still be deadly.

He also has the new Xenology Quest, which rewards an Exotic Cipher you can use to purchase Exotics from either Xur or the Tower's Monument to Lost Lights.

A new documentary has been announced that will explore the life and career of Karate Kid star Pat Morita. Entertainment Weekly has posted the first trailer for More Than Miyagi: The Pat Morita Story, which promises to dig into how and why the Japanese-American actor was able to break through so many barriers in an earlier Hollywood landscape that wasn't always known for inclusion.Sixteen years after his death at the age of 73, Pat Morita--star of The Karate Kid and honorary star of the Netflix hit Cobra Kai--is largely remembered for his role as the Okinawan karate master who mentors Daniel LaRusso and Julie Pierce in the Karate Kid films. Director Kevin Derek has compiled a film that tells the comedian-actor's life story, complete with archival interviews and new conversation with many of his co-stars, including The Karate Kid's Ralph Macchio and William Zabka, Happy Days' Marion Ross and Henry Winkler, and fellow comics Larry Miller and Tommy Chong.Cobra Kai recently--and thankfully--bumped up the release of Season 3 to New Year's Day. You can check out our (spoiler-laden!) coverage of the new episodes here.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

The Office's official YouTube page has uploaded one of the many, many new Peacock-exclusive extras the platform is offering to celebrate the series coming back home after its lengthy stay on Netflix. The video is a nearly seven-minute Office set tour with Steve Carell and Rainn Wilson, who charmingly and somewhat dissonantly drift in and out of character, likely almost exclusively (based on their haircuts) pretty early in the show's run. Check out the full video below.Highlights include Carell snacking on the famous jelly beans at reception--and then instantly regretting having done so as "they've been there since we shot the pilot 14 months ago," Wilson both as himself and Dwight Schrute begging Carell for a part in his next movie, and Carell trying the candy up front again and again. As Office fans know, Wilson later got his wish when Dwight had a starring role in Michael Scott's Threat Level Midnight--which during the Netflix era was also uploaded to YouTube as a full movie.While these new nuggets are totally cool and worth watching, they are all part of a bigger effort to check out the show on its new home at Peacock. For newcomers and devoted fans, one of the big appeals about The Office on Peacock is that it's coming with bonus materials--most notably, "superfan" cuts of episodes that stitch both new footage and deleted scenes back into their corresponding stories. As of this writing, the "superfan" cuts are available for the series starting with Season 3.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

A new cheat in Call of Duty's battle royale Warzone is now allowing a small group of competitive players to completely ditch the game's skill-based matchmaking and instead enter matches filled with low-level players and/or bots, according to Call of Duty YouTuber Drift0r.In an interview with PC Gamer, Drift0r said that he was able to enter matches populated by AI-controlled adversaries about "two thirds of the time." The other third of the time, the matches were filled with lower-skilled players who are more likely to be new to the game. Some K/D ratios observed in these matches were as low as 0.72. Drift0r declined to explain how the cheat works, fearing it would add fuel to the already present fire.Despite these bot and low-skill players being predominantly present in these matches, Drift0r also noted that there were other several high-skill players in these lobbies as well, likely using the same exploit to garner easy wins. While that impulse is maybe understandable in a vacuum, Drift0r is pessimistic about what it will mean for the Warzone scene as a whole if the cheat becomes more widespread. His expectation is that lower-level lobbies will end up becoming a 50/50 spread between new players and "really sweaty tryhards," AKA the other content creators using this exploit.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com
