Valorant Has A Great Bug Where You Fuse Into Other Players

The culprit is Reyna, the new hero who was added on launch day. She’s got an ability that briefly lets her go invisible when combined with her Ultimate ability. Unfortunately, under certain circumstances it also seems to make her… intangible. To see this content please enable targeting cookies. Manage cookie settings If that happened to me, I’d go to pieces. These chumps barely giggle, though, and are more concerned that being rooted to the same spot will make them lose the round....

Valorant May Get Ranked Play In The Coming Weeks

Responding to an aggrieved player, Riot developer Joe Ziegler noted that ranked matchmaking will hit Valorant’s closed beta within weeks (via Dextero). Mind, I’ve been in some disastrous games of Counter-Strike, so I’m not entirely sure why this kid’s so grumpy over a 9-13 loss. To see this content please enable targeting cookies. Manage cookie settings — Ziegler (@RiotZiegler) April 10, 2020 Valorant does have ranks already, mind. We even know what they are, given resident guides lord Ollie’s already given us the complete rank rundown from Mercenary to Immortal....

Valorant Will Start Recording Voice Chat To Tackle Hate Speech

Now Riot say they’re going to start recording in-game voice comms so they can analyse it and “take action against players who use voice comms to harass others, use hate speech, or otherwise disrupt your experience.” They also acknowledge that this will pose a privacy concern for some, but that “if you prefer to not have your voice chat captured, you may turn off voice chat.” In a post on the Riot blog, the company explains the changes to their privacy notice, which allow Riot to record and “potentially” evaluate voice data....

Vampire Survivors Review Early Access An Unquestionably Compulsive Treat

Vampire Survivors is a simple, early access, arcade-style game about dodging an ever-growing horde of monsters while acquiring spells that fire automatically. You can (and should) play it with one hand while eating a bag of crisps. It’s a very good way to spend £2. There’s a bit more to it than that, but not much. You begin each run as one of seven unlockable vampires, each with their own starting weapon and ability....

Warframe Tennocon Is Moving To August 1St

Digital Extremes say that the date change is partly the give themselves time to produce a quality show but also to close the gap between the demo they show at the event and its eventual release. As with many things in 2020, social distancing precautions and closures around the Covid-19 pandemic have slowed down Digital Extremes’ ability to produce the digital version of their TennoCon show. They say the move back to August “will give us the time to make sure we can put on an awesome show....

Watch Dogs Legion Launches Co Op Mode And New Missions In March

Legion’s online mode exists separately from the main game, so you’ll start over with a new DedSec faction and recruit new operators, Ubisoft say. They’ve sped up the recruitment process for the online mode though, letting you snag new operators by using “influencer points” that you earn from doing missions and daily challenges and whatnot. Online mode also includes in-game voice chat, which it sounds like you’ll need in order to stay coordinated in the new missions Ubi have cooked up....

Watch Out For Zombie Guns In Warzone 2

Streamer rA Pork tweeted a video of themselves knocking down an enemy, before hopping out of the vehicle to check they’d finished the job. It seemed as though the opposing player had flown along the nearby road and landed dead in the middle of it, but they were glitching through the floor and their gun was still wiggling around a bit. Creeping a bit nearer, the corpse’s weapon suddenly comes to life and wipes out rA Pork in a hail of fire....

We Ve Read The Official Death Stranding Novels And They Re As Weird As The Game

Written by Hitori Nojima (the pen name of Kenji Yano, who was one of the co-writers on Death Stranding the game along with Hideo Kojima) and translated by Carley Radford, Death Stranding: The Official Novelisation Volumes 1 and 2 follow the game’s plot almost to a tee. Dialogue from the game’s cutscenes is lifted pretty much word for word, and it also borrows the same character-led chapter structure. As such, the books won’t hold any surprises for those of you who have already played the game, and I doubt they’ll convert many who haven’t....

What 20 Years Of Tropico Has Left Me Wanting

It’s a perfect opportunity to bring up why I love the series, because that should counter-balance all the complaining I’m going to do. And I’m hinging it on this: I don’t want Tropico 7. I want another Tropico 2. It’s a remarkable series when you look at the timeline. When PopTop Software (known for 1998’s Railroad Tycoon II, absorbed into Take-Two Interactive before Tropico was finished, and eventually merged into Firaxis Games in 2006) released the first Tropico in 2001, the city building genre was on the cusp of a decline....

Where To Watch The Elden Ring Gameplay Stream

The stream is happening over on Bandai Namco’s YouTube channel and they will also stream it on Twitch. The last we heard of Elden Ring was, err, mixed news. Bandai Namco delayed its launch by a month and some potato-quality gameplay clip leaked at the same time. Otherwise, we’ve fed on crumbs of information from interviews and short trailers, the last of which landed four months ago. So what am I hoping to see from this Elden Ring gameplay bonanza?...
