Taking the legal route against hate speech on the platform, Twitch is suing two individuals who have allegedly participated in creating and facilitating hate raids against multiple creators.Twitch has always suffered from toxic chats--namely, comments that attack marginalized creators based on their race, gender, or sexuality--but recently, such activity intensified into "hate raids." Perpetrators of hate raids often use bots to overwhelm the chat with harmful language, usually at a rate that exceeds the streamers' ability to moderate the chat.Twitch acknowledged the hate raid problem--in conjunction with campaigns by Twitch streamers that asked for the company to do more about hate raids--and promised that it was looking for solutions. Now in a lawsuit filed on September 9, Twitch named Cruzzcontrol and Creatineoverdose as two individuals who created bots and launched multiple hate raids against racial minorities and LGBTQ+ community members.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

Unlike Sony, Microsoft chose to go a different route with expandable storage for the Xbox Series X and Series S, announcing a partnership with Seagate to develop an easy-to-install 1TB expansion card that launched with the new consoles. It's been a closed ecosystem since, but one user might have found a rather simple way to use a consumer SSD on the latest Xbox consoles.Detailed in a blog on Bilibili and reported by VGC, one Xbox Series X|S user has managed to connect a consumer PCIe Gen4 SSD to the console using an NVME to CFexpress convertor. This converter matches the one Seagate uses for its Xbox Series expansion card, which is just half of what is required for this solution to work.The other is the choice of the SSD. It's already been determined that Microsoft uses a Western Digital SN530 m.2 2230 inside the Xbox Series X and S, which is what was used for this mod. This might explain why the console has no issues recognizing the SSD, with no additional tests with other SSDs making the question of compatibly a bit murky.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

Senua's Saga: Hellblade II developer Ninja Theory has revealed that not all solutions in game development are high-tech. A video that the developer posted on Twitter showed how the game's lead actress, Melina Juergens, sometimes uses unexpected objects to help her with her motion capture for the game.In the video, Chris Wilson, Ninja Theory's expert look developer, is seen capturing high-resolution shots of Juergens's eyes. Presumably, these shots will be used in the game, perhaps during scenes that have close-ups of Senua. In order to achieve these still shots of Juergens's eyes, Wilson created a household contraption that she rested her chin on, consisting of a stand, a frame to center the shot, and a toilet plunger.The outside frame is made out of wood, while the top part looks to be some sort of taped headrest for Juergens's forehead. The plunger, where Juergens rests her chin, provides stability so Wilson's camera can take accurate shots.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

The long-awaited decision in the Apple vs. Epic case has been handed down, with a judge deciding that Apple must allow developers to offer alternative payment methods. But Epic Games is not celebrating the decision, and Fortnite is not coming back to the App Store soon, if it ever does. Epic Games CEO Tim Sweeney blasted the decision on Twitter, saying it is not a win for developers or consumers. He went on to say that Fortnite will only return to the iOS App Store "when and where Epic can offer in-app payment in fair competition with Apple in-app payment, passing along the savings to consumers.""We will fight on," Sweeney added.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

With The Matrix Resurrections finally and recently given a release date of December 22, it's time to start thinking about watching the original trilogy either for the very first time, or just to refresh your memory. Whatever the reason--even if you took the wrong pill--the solution is easy enough: HBO Max has The Matrix, The Matrix Reloaded, and The Matrix Revolutions on both ad-supported and ad-free tiers. It also has The Animatrix, a collection of nine short films. The fourth movie will be both in theaters and that streaming service on that day, right alongside the original three. In fact, it probably wouldn't be a bad reason to get a few rewatches in between now and December, as the new trailer is suggesting a very mind-warping movie is ahead to continue the story. Depending on what you choose to believe, the next entry in the franchise seems to be about Neo reconnecting with his true identity, or coming to terms with how most of his memories have been wiped. It probably makes more sense to just watch this new clip, and decide for yourself.To further get people hyped for the film, WhatIsTheMatrix.com has also launched. The website will allow you to take your chances and see one of over 180,000 unique teaser videos. Every video features footage from the new movie and narration from the cast. So, that's also something you can try when revisiting the original movies. You can also go further down the rabbit hole by reading this theory about the now-defunct Matrix Online MMO game's relationship to the upcoming film.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

Like previous games in the series, Life is Strange: True Colors will regularly present you with choices that will influence the outcome of the story. Most of these choices are mandatory but a few are optional and easily missable. Below, we go over all the choices that are important to True Colors Chapter 1: Side A. You'll make additional decisions beyond these ones, but they don't have as significant an impact.As an additional note, though we don't go into detail about all of them here (we'll cover the major ones), there are certain choices that can influence how Alex perceives herself. Notably, whether she loves music and herself. If you constantly make decisions that have Alex look down upon her incredible musical talent, she won't as easily regard making music as a career choice. Additionally, folks around Alex--upon learning of her Empathy--will regard her as a superhero, but it's up to you to decide whether she ultimately views her abilities as a gift or a curse.More Life Is Strange: True Colors GuidesChapter 2: Lanterns WalkthroughChapter 1: Side A WalkthroughMeeting Gabe [Mandatory]Right at the start of True Colors, Alex will meet her brother again for the first time in years.

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.When Destiny 2 finally gained cross-save capabilities back in 2019, I was finally able to stop playing the game on PlayStation 4--where I'd been since the first day of Destiny--and hop over to PC, where my serious Destiny friends resided. That was around the time I also started to take the PvP aspect of Destiny 2 semi-seriously, and while I know that I'll never be a great Crucible contender (I'm too damn old at this point and completely unwilling to put in practice time to improve), I've really enjoyed a stepped-up focus on the competitive aspect of the game.That's why the best news this week is Destiny 2's new take on the Trials of Osiris. Sure, Savathun and Mara Sov said some more really cryptic, downright unsettling stuff about the threats we're dealing with next year in Destiny 2, but it's the Trials that are dominating my thoughts as we head into the third weekend of the Season of the Lost.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

As a direct sequel to the Dungeons & Dragons-inspired Tiny Tina's Assault On Dragon Keep DLC for Borderlands 2, Tiny Tina's Wonderlands leans even further into the structure of tabletop roleplaying games for its gameplay. Wonderlands incorporates a more robust character creator, the option to multiclass, and a whole lot of other mechanics and features that D&D fans will likely recognize.The character creator in Wonderlands represents one of the biggest departures from the structure of the Borderlands games. Wonderlands doesn't feature established characters. Instead, you customize your own hero, including their race, physical appearance, voice, and personality."Your voice, your appearance, all of that is independent," Tiny Tina's Wonderlands senior producer Kayla Belmore told GameSpot. "You get to choose your own voice and some other fun stuff that we can't quite dive into yet, but it goes into even your character's personality, not just aesthetics, and it's all independent. You could look and sound however you want within those sets of choices. We don't really tie the player into any one thing. Not even every feature is humanoid--you can have shark fins on your head or look like an orc."Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

Mad Max Furiosa will be delayed by a year--arriving in theaters in 2024 instead of 2023, according to Deadline.
