EA is giving away accessibility-related patents used in some of its biggest games, including Apex Legends' popular Ping system, in the hope that they will be used and expanded upon by other developers to help make video games more inclusive.There are currently five patents covered under EA's "Patent Pledge," which involves EA making pledged patents available for public use alongside a legally binding promise to not file a lawsuit against those who use any patents documented in the pledge.One of those patents, the "contextually aware communication systems," is the Ping system used in Apex Legends. Revolutionary when Apex Legends first released, it allows players to better communicate in-game without the need for text or voice communication, making the game more accessible. The ping system has since been mimicked by numerous other shooters since, including Call of Duty: Warzone.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

Today's Destiny 2 Showcase included a look at new content that already has fans of the franchise excited. However, it also included Bungie's next step in its fight against cheaters, which could come with some side effects. The developer is now using BattlEye anti-cheat software in Destiny 2, a step that should keep cheaters out of the game. Unfortunately, it may come at the player's expense, making the game run worse.In a post on its website, Bungie detailed BattlEye's implementation and exactly what the anti-cheat software will do. According to the post, BattlEye will let the developer "detect more active cheats" but "won't be a silver bullet fix that will end all cheating in Destiny forever."For the time being, BattlEye isn't being given free rein to ban players either. Bungie is putting the service through a kind of trial period, with automatic ban permission coming "sometime before Trials of Osiris goes live on September 10."Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

The Porsche flies over a luscious lake and waterfall full of flamingos before driving through the bushes and dirt of the jungle.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

In the long road to get Showtime's live-action TV series adaptation of Halo made, one of the strangest turns yet was that the series won't actually air on Showtime. It was announced earlier this year that Halo was moving from the premium cable network to the Paramount+ TV service. Now, at a TCA summer press tour panel, Showtime says the change was a good one for them."Look, we love Halo, and we have great affection for it, and [Paramount+ is] a good fit because we continue on as the studio so we're going to be intimately involved with the creative and the production of it," Showtime Networks president of entertainment Jana Winograde said. "But the truth is that it was always a bit of an outlier for us in terms of its fit in the Showtime universe. We did an amazing job of imbuing into the series, the character drama that we're so well known for. But at the end of the day, it is a big, broad, big-tent show. So when Paramount plus came into being, it really was a natural fit there."While Showtime isn't typically known for epic-sized sci-fi series, the network spent seven years developing the series. Letting it go, even though Showtime Networks continues to be involved in a creative capacity, sounds difficult.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

When it comes to fandoms, it's often pretty hard to find something everyone will universally agree on. That is, of course, unless you talk to Dexter fans. It's hard to find someone who actually likes how the Showtime series ended in 2013, with the titular serial killer becoming a reclusive lumberjack in the woods. In fact, even those involved with making the show seem to agree that ending is a dud, with series star Michael C. Hall saying at Comic-Con 2021 that the story "deserved a better ending."With Dexter getting a revival in Showtime's Dexter: New Blood, Showtime Networks president of entertainment Gary Levine made it clear during the network's TCA summer press tour panel that they were hoping to fix an ending that most consider broken. "Dexter is a jewel in the crown of Showtime and we didn't do it justice in the end, I think," he said. "We've always wanted to see if there was a way to do it right, and it took a long time to figure out what that was."This new take on the series picks up a decade later, with Hall back in the titular role. He's joined by Clyde Phillips, who served as showrunner on the first four seasons. Along the way, they're hoping to write the wrongs of the original finale.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

If you jump onto YouTube, you can find plenty of videos of what it might be like to dual wield weapons or have Pathfinder's tactical ability instantly recharge so that he can swing around World's Edge like Spider-Man.However, the video that has been getting traction most recently is from creator Mok3ysnip3r, in which they showcase what it would be like if Titanfall 2's double jump and wallrunning were in Apex Legends.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com
