SoulCalibur VI is closing out its Season Pass 2 DLC with the return of fan-favorite Korean swordsman Hwang Seong-gyeong. Much like the August reveal of Setsuka, Hwang has also been missing in action for some time.Originally appearing in 1995's Soul Edge, Hwang also appeared in SoulCalibur and SoulCalibur 3, and was then relegated to the sidelines for 15 years.Armed with his trademark Dark Thunder longsword and Six Heavenly Arts fighting style, Hwang will arrive on December 2 on PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, and PC via Steam alongside a new update that adds the Motien Pass Ruins stage, classic costume parts for Seong Mi-Na, new Tekken-themed parts, and new Mitsurugi and Nightmare episodes.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

eBay is one of the best places to go if you're trying to track down a previously-owned console, particularly for those that aren't produced anymore. However, when it comes to the PS5 and Xbox Series X / Series S, scammers continue to use the site to profit off the demand for next-gen consoles, which has prompted eBay to issue a statement."We condemn these opportunistic sellers who are attempting to mislead other users," eBay said via Eurogamer. "We are in the process of removing all listings for photos of PS5s from our marketplace and will be taking appropriate action against the sellers...Buyers who receive an item which is not as described are entitled to a refund via our eBay Money Back Guarantee, provided they completed the transaction on the eBay platform."As Eurogamer reports, many of these fake listings advertise a "brand new Sony PlayStation 5," only to clarify that the buyer will receive only a photo of a PS5 in the finer description. Other scams include selling an empty box, raffle tickets, and even parents purporting to raise money to buy their child a next-gen console themselves. Such claims are dubious, to say the least.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

You might not have heard the name Ajit Pai recently, but you probably remember the outcry surrounding the FCC's repeal of net neutrality rules back in late 2017. Now, the current FCC chairman has announced that he will step down on January 20 of next year, the day that president-elect Joe Biden will be inaugurated.Outside of Washington, Pai is best-known as the figure who spearheaded and oversaw the FCC's wholesale dismantling of net neutrality rules that prevented internet service providers from interfering or prioritizing web traffic. The ISPs welcomed the repeal, but it was considerably less-popular among tech giants like Twitch. In a memorable segment on his show Last Week Tonight, comedian John Oliver asked gamers to protest the upcoming move, calling it an overreach.Pai's term as a commissioner extends to July 2021, and he could have stayed on--albeit without the chairman's power to steer the FCC's direction as an agency--but he has opted to quit early. A Republican, Pai's departure will give the Democrats a 2-to-1 majority following Biden's inauguration, though a Republican is currently pending confirmation in the Senate.Info from Gamespot.com

"Maybe you'd like to wait for a few patches to pass, for example, before you re-roll. Totally up to you!"Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild posited a completely different blueprint for the open-world genre back in 2017, and it's taken three years for the gaming industry to take those ideas and run with them.

Rainbow Six Siege's latest season is about to hit, and it brings a variety of changes to the game. Titled Operation Neon Dawn, the update will add a reworked map and a new operator to the game. But in terms of immediate impact, some players might blanch at the hefty size of the patch itself, which comes in at 60 GB on PC and 35.90 GB on console. That's in addition to the next-gen upgrade, which is 3.2 GB on Xbox Series X/S and 5.38 GB on PlayStation 5🛠Y5S4 Maintenance🛠The Y5S4 Operation Neon Dawn patch will be deployed tomorrow December 1st for all platforms.Platform: PCTime: 08:00 EDT / 13:00 UTCPlatform: PSTime: 09:00 EDT / 14:00 UTCPlatform: XBTime: 11:00 EDT / 16:00 UTC⏲Approx' Downtime: 1 Hour pic.twitter.com/BV9hAf8FDm — Rainbow Six Siege (@Rainbow6Game) November 30, 2020To be fair, Ubisoft notes that the large patch size is due to the consolidation of data files that will make the overall data footprint of Siege itself smaller. That said, it's still quite big for a patch. The update will introduce a major rework of the Skyscraper map, as well as the Thai operator Aruni. Aruni uses laser gates to defend vulnerable passageways or corridors from the attackers, though those gates can be disabled by any projectile in the game.Neon Dawn will also come with many changes aimed at improving competitive play. According to the pre-season designer's notes, the patch focuses on scrambling what Ubisoft calls the "heavy utility meta" through measures such as removing the amount of projectiles that catcher operators like Jager can deny per round. Hibana is also receiving a configurable shot that allows her to decide how many X-Kairos to shoot, which will give her some much-needed flexibility.Info from Gamespot.com

If you're looking to watch the Arizona Cardinals face off against the San Francisco 49ers on December 26, you are going to need access to Amazon Prime or Twitch. Though the early and late games that day--the Tampa Bay Buccaneers vs the Detroit Lions and the Miami Dolphins vs the Las Vegas Raiders, respectively--will still be broadcasted on TV the usual way, that middle game is Amazon and Twitch only. It's a bit confusing though, since viewers should also be able to catch the game via other NFL, Yahoo Sports, 49ers, and Cardinals platforms.Though it sounds a bit funky, this definitely is not the first time the NFL has played around with giving different platforms streaming and broadcasting rights. Previous games have streamed on Twitter and Yahoo, sometimes exclusively. Additionally, the NFL previously announced a Wild Card playoff game in January will give streaming rights to NBCUniversal's streaming platform Peacock, with NBCU's Telemundo gaining control of the broadcasting rights.Amazon has already been a streaming partner of the NFL for Thursday Night Football, with a multi-year contract allowing it to stream games concurrently with Fox's linear television broadcasts. According to The Deadline, initial data has shown that these football streams have not done huge numbers, but since many viewers are cutting the cord and moving towards streaming this seems to be a future-proofing move on the NFL's part.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

Using a script editor, they've managed to add any cosmetic item they want to their inventory, including those you'd normally have to pay real-world money for.

The Xbox Series X / Series S finally launched earlier this month to much fanfare, and Microsoft is already rolling out a major update for both these new consoles and the Xbox One. The November Xbox system update will bring some features that fans have requested, including more backgrounds, an auto HDR indicator, and the ability to pre-load games from Xbox Game Pass. The update is already available for some Xbox Series X owners, and it clocks in at 701 MB.These dynamic backgrounds allow you to personalize your home screen with different colors or animations. The update will bring six new options, including several that are based on previous generations of Xbox consoles for that nostalgic rush. More backgrounds will be added in the future. The update also adds a new tag that lets users know when a game is using the console's Auto HDR feature. Auto HDR uses a specially-tuned algorithm that attempts to add HDR to older games that don't already have it. It's displayed in the upper right of the screen when you bring up the Guide menu, and not every game can harness it.The system update introduces an "Optimized for Series X/S" badge to games that have been updated to take advantage of the platform's additional resources. Other minor additions include a Game Activity tab that tracks achievements--replacing the old Achievements tab--the ability to add family member accounts during setup, and the ability to pre-load games that are coming to Xbox Game Pass. Not all games are available for pre-install, but those that aren't can be queued to install first thing on day one using the Xbox Game Pass mobile app.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com
