Splatoon 3 is a Nintendo-exclusive fast-paced videogame that involves competing in several battles and matches. One of these includes the Tricolor Turf battle which is available to play only during the Splatfest events. But several players are confused about this battle mode and how to participate in them. So, here’s our guide that explains what are the Tricolor Battles in Splatoon 3 and how to join them. What are the Tricolor Battles in Splatoon 3 Tricolor Turf Battles are the three-minute battle modes that can be played only during the second half of the Splafest events....

Sports Story, the long-anticipated sequel to indie hit Golf Story by Sidebar Games, was recently released on the Nintendo Switch just a few days before Christmas, and so far, the consensus from fans seems to be that the game is full of glitches and bugs. Many reports indicate that the game was released in such a state that it is simply unplayable. Now, nearly a week after the game’s release, one player has discovered a secret “developer room” that isn’t accessible through typical means, and the contents of the room are grim....

It would appear that Twitch has struck again against another female streamer dressed in sportswear, branding the attire as unsavory and inappropriate. This time the target of the ban was Cinthya “CinCinBear” Alicea. She claims that her clothing was the reason for the temporary ban, which consisted of a sports bra. The news was first released on the Twitch Partner Bans Twitter account. Following this, CinCinBear apparently confirmed that she had in fact been banned on her Discord chat....

Samurai Warriors-inspired DLC is heading to Dead or Alive 5: Last Round next month, Koei Tecmo has announced. Starting from March 17, Samurai Warriors 4 character Naotora Ii will join the roster of playable fighters, letting players get to grips with her signature ‘Ii Style Leg Strikes’ fighting style and ‘specialised kick-based attacks’. She’ll be available to download for â‚¬5.99 in Europe, although a UK price has yet to be announced....

This interview contains very mild character spoilers for Scoob! Like many of us, Scoob! animation coordinator Bill Haller’s first memories of Scooby-Doo center around the long-lost Saturday morning lineup. “I grew up with Scooby-Doo as part of Saturday morning cartoons. Me and my sister sitting in front of the TV and arguing over what lineup we were going to do. I don’t even know if they have lineups like that anymore?...

Scorn is a first-person biopunk and survival-horror and adventure video game by Ebb Software. The game is set in the deepest labyrinths of a metropolis featuring the ghastliest monsters, humanoids, and creatures. As the game does not follow a conventional narrative, it leaves everything for the player to fill out. Unlike most of the games, Scorn doesn’t even have specific lore and story, to begin with. It was no surprise that its bizarre ending made several players pretty stumped and confused....

This piece contains spoilers for Nier Automata and Beautiful World, Where Are You. How do we find meaning in the modern world? It’s probably a question that every conscious generation has grappled with going as far back as, well, who knows? But it seems like a more pertinent, gripping question now than it ever has been. Maybe that’s just my human brain and its inability to think broadly, but there’s something about the digital era we’re living in that makes this central question feel more depressing than I imagine it would if I were a farmer in 1800s Cyprus, frolicking in the sun and bathing on the shores....

I have to have a tiny bit of love for any film that starts with someone booting up Windows XP. Clearly Windows Me or Vista were unviable, given how long it’d take the subsequent film to get started, but in this instance, Searching not only instantly incites nostalgia, it also uses the aforementioned operating system for a quite brilliant opening sequence. Imagine, if you will, a sort-of parallel to the opening act of Pixar’s Up, just played out using a succession of gradually more advanced and less pixelated computing operating systems....

Senna, League of Legends’ 146th champion, was designed by Riot to be the first-ever support/ADC. Her kit features an infinite farming mechanic, a local heal, root, a way to obscure allies, and an ultimate with a map-wide impact. She can take bot lane as a carry but the stat increases she receives through proper gameplay allow her to be relevant without receiving too much gold. Her passive is the multi-faceted Absolution....

Shantae, the game about a half-genie who whips her hair at her foes, is heading to PlayStation 5 and PlayStation 4 this year. The game’s director Matt Bozon announced the news in a post on the PlayStation Blog. In the post, he mentions that it has been twenty years since the release of the original. While other games in the series have been ported to PlayStation, the original has, weirdly, been absent....

It’s been said a dozen times in a dozen different ways in the last five years, but it feels so surreal to see Shenmue coming back. For nearly two decades, fans have wondered if they would ever see the end of Ryo Hazuki’s journey. And now, four years after one of the most successful video game Kickstarters in history, Shenmue III is less than a week away from being real. It’s no wonder that I, as a Shenmue fan since the very beginning, got a little choked up watching the launch trailer that released today....

Atlus is a company not particularly well known for getting with the times. It took the Japanese publisher forever to finally release Persona 4 Golden on PC, a move that seemed like a no-brainer for years. Since that game’s success (which was a shock to absolutely nobody, except maybe Atlus), the company reports that it will put more effort into releasing its older titles on PC. One such game is Shin Megami Tensei III Nocturne HD Remaster, which gets a new trailer today....

All this recent talk about real-time strategy games has gotten me antsy. Strategy fans are going to have to wait a while before Command & Conquer returns. However, I might have something to satisfy you until then. Starting today at Humble, you can claim a copy of Sins of a Solar Empire: Rebellion and become the ruler of the galaxy for free. Getting the game is a simple matter. First, you’ll need to sign up for an account and subscribe to the Humble Newsletter....

Gaming laptops are about to get interesting. During Computex 2019, processor chip company Qualcomm put on a clinic against one of its rivals, Intel. The manufacturer pitted its newest Windows 10 custom Snapdragon 8cx processor versus an Intel Core i5. The results should raise eyebrows for some of you gamers on the go. The Snapdragon 8cx outperformed its competition in many ways. Since this is an up-and-coming laptop processor, Qualcomm began by comparing what its chip can do with usual tasks....

After completing the tutorial level of Sniper Ghost Warrior Contracts 2, you’ll be able to travel to Zindah Province. This has multiple Long Shot Contracts, which means you’ll want sniper rifles with extreme long-range capabilities. In any case, here’s our guide to help you with the missions and challenges in the Zindah Province level of Sniper Ghost Warrior Contracts 2. Note: For more information, check out our Sniper Ghost Warrior Contracts 2 guides and features hub....

While reading Solo: A Star Wars Story by Mur Lafferty, I toyed with trying to separate it from the movie it was based on. Since the book is billed as an “Expanded Edition,” I thought maybe the key would be to discuss what new things the book brought to the movie. But a novelization is still a novelization, and the book doesn’t add enough to the characterization or tone to set it apart....

Sega has confirmed that Sonic Origins, a new collection of four classic Sonic the Hedgehog games, will arrive this June. The compendium was first announced during last May’s Sonic 30th Anniversary celebrations. However, we’ve now got the full details on what to expect in the package, with the collection even boasting new features. Specifically, the pack will include Sonic the Hedgehog, Sonic the Hedgehog 2, Sonic CD and Sonic 3 & Knuckles....

Sony stunned the world in 2018 when it announced that it wouldn’t be going to E3 2019. Citing that it wished to explore “new and familiar ways to engage” with its community, it seems that E3 is just simply not one of those avenues. For the second year in a row, Sony will not be coming to E3. While it made sense in 2019 (the company had some big games still in development and likely nothing new to announce about them), 2020 is a pretty pivotal year for the PlayStation brand....

A new page has appeared on PlayStation’s website dedicated to its games for PC. This page, which you can see here, does exactly what is says on the tin. Here you will find information on all of PlayStation’s games that have been introduced to PC, such as Days Gone, God of War and Horizon Zero Dawn - but also details on upcoming releases. Currently, the three upcoming games listed are Marvel’s Spider-Man Remastered (of which you can read more about from Digital Foundry here), Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales and the Uncharted Legacy of Thieves collection....
