Anyone who has played an online game has probably encountered a bot at some point that may have negatively impacted their gaming experience. To help address gaming's bot problem, Razer and OpenAI founder Sam Altman's company World have teamed up to create what's called "Razer ID verified by World AI."It's a new single sign-on (SSO) proof-of-human system that verifies if a player is a human or a bot. If it all goes to plan, it will create a situation where anyone using a Razer ID account will be verified as a human, which could in turn help bolster "trust and security in the digital space," Razer said."Fair play starts with real players, and Razer ID's ability to integrate into games to enable 'human-only' gameplay modes is key to fostering fair competition and a more trusted gaming environment," the company stated.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

Lego's newest R2-D2 building model is discounted to only $82 (was $100) at Amazon and Walmart.

It felt good to see Assassin's Creed Shadows protagonist Naoe's face nearly healed after the 50-hour journey through 16th-century Japan. The wound that had once marred her face was mostly gone, with only a thin, barely discernible scar left behind. Naoe's face slowly heals over the course of Shadows' story and the changing of the in-game seasons, providing a visual metaphor for the game's thematic journey through the ugliness of revenge, the healing process of forgiveness and moving beyond tragedy with enough time and support. It's a story that has incredible moments between Naoe and fellow protagonist Yasuke but largely feels listless during its muddled second act. And although Naoe's shinobi fantasy is the best Assassin's Creed has been in ages and remains fun to play for the entire game, it makes Yasuke's samurai gameplay feel subpar in comparison.Naoe feels like the intended protagonist of Shadows. Save for a brief hour as Yasuke, the first 12 or so hours are spent solely playing as the shinobi. Even once Yasuke returns to the story, it's in service to Naoe's goal to kill a dozen masked individuals and steal back a mysterious box that she has to recover.Shadows is Naoe's story. Yasuke is just here for the ride.But even ignoring his narrative shortcomings as a secondary protagonist, Yasuke is not fun to play. Assassin's Creed has never been a series where its individual gameplay components have surpassed those in other games. Its combat has never been as good as what's available in other action games, other titles have stronger parkour mechanics, and the series always feels a step behind when it comes to stealth. The best part about Assassin's Creed has always been that it brings those three styles of gameplay together in one cohesive package--a combination you don't often see at the level of quality Ubisoft has managed to achieve with Assassin's Creed. Naoe perfectly embodies that trifecta, even possessing new mechanics that make the stealth part of Assassin's Creed a lot better than recent entries. Yasuke, on the other hand, doesn't. Though he's able to fight, Yasuke cannot use parkour, nor can he really rely on stealth. He's only one-third of Assassin's Creed. Although the idea of making an Assassin's Creed protagonist who solely specializes in open warfare sounds cool, in practice it feels awful because that aspect of the franchise is still not up to snuff with dedicated action games.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

Game developer Josef Fares is known for being outspoken, and he's continuing that theme in a new interview. Speaking to the BBC, Fares said publishers need to "step up and really trust the developer." But at the same time, Fares said developers themselves have to "have a clear vision and stick with what they believe in."Fares admitted that what he says might not apply to everyone. After all, he runs his own studio, Hazelight, and his company is independently owned. "I am a --what do you say?--a different breed," he said. Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

Ahead of its release next month on HBO Max, The Last of Us actor Pedro Pascal has begun speaking more about the second season of the show. Adapted from the critically acclaimed sequel, The Last of Us season two is set five years after the first series and the fallout from its season finale. With bigger stakes and strained relationships, Pedro Pascal--who plays Joel--explained in an interview that everything established in the first season of the post-apocalyptic show is being amplified for its return to TV."It's definitely a bigger, far more ambitious, and risk-taking season," Pascal said to Empire. "And, if it can even be imagined, further tests our strength against a world we're already afraid to be in." While you can expect plenty of drama between the cast as they find themselves in intense situations, the monsters of The Last of Us won't be taking a backseat to all of this squabbling. Showrunner Craig Mazin added that viewers will get to see more Cordyceps-infected people in season two, including the infamous stalkers who harassed players in the video game.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com
