 Posted on December 27, 2022  |  6 minutes  |  1249 words  |  Patria Henriques

Metal Gear's first post-Kojima outing plays fast and loose with the formula, with results that are equal parts brilliant and baffling. This was always going to be a tough sell. Metal Gear Survive is Konami's first big console game outside of PES since its infamous split with Hideo Kojima, and as if that wasn't enough to raise eyebrows, it has the temerity to carry on the lineage of Kojima's most famous creation, too.

New Wii loses backwards compatibility

 Posted on December 27, 2022  |  1 minutes  |  187 words  |  Trudie Dory

Nintendo has cut backwards compatibility from the just-announced Wii redesign. The new-look Wii redesign will no longer support GameCube games or hardware, the company has confirmed. This means gamers will be unable to use GameCube pads when playing Wii games such as Mario Kart Wii or Smash Bros. Brawl. Has Nintendo slimmed the Wii simply by chopping off its GameCube controller and memory card slots, currently hidden away under the console's top flap? [Read More]

Pokémon Go Eevee evolution: How to evolve Eevee into Sylveon, Leafeon, Glaceon, Umbreon, Espeon, Vaporeon, Jolteon and Flareon

 Posted on December 27, 2022  |  7 minutes  |  1442 words  |  Patria Henriques

How to evolve Eevee continues to be one of the bigger talking points in Pokémon Go. In the classic Pokémon games, Eevee can evolve into different typing varieties - referred to as Eeveelutions by fans - based on the use of special items, its happiness level, moves it has available and even the time of day. With Candy in Pokémon Go, the way you evolve Pokémon is much simpler, and as such, you cannot use the tried-and-tested method of using one of three elemental stones to turn Eevee into Flareon, Jolteon and Vaporeon or the alternative methods for Umbreon, Espeon, Leafeon, Glaceon and Sylveon.

Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order's enhanced PS5/Xbox Series patch - all upgrades tested

 Posted on December 27, 2022  |  5 minutes  |  1063 words  |  Patria Henriques

It's a credit to the talents and abilities of game developers that so many last-gen games still hold up today - so why not tap into the extra horsepower of PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series consoles to push visual quality and frame-rates to the next level? And it's all the sweeter if the upgrade is free of course, as is the case with Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order. This one's all the more fascinating as we've already had a 'back compat plus' patch - though it was not without its issues, so porting it across as a native app should allow the new consoles to unleash more of their potential.

Wolfenstein 2: the biggest jump yet from PS4 Pro to Xbox One X?

 Posted on December 27, 2022  |  6 minutes  |  1256 words  |  Trudie Dory

Wolfenstein 2 is one of the most exceptional graphical showcases of the generation so far - a 60 frames per second shooter with beautiful dynamic lighting and shading, GPU-accelerated particles and a state-of-the-art post-process pipeline. However, it does have one weakness: performance. PS4, Pro and Xbox One can't quite lock to the target 60fps and all console versions lack the slick fluidity of the Doom 2016 reboot, running on the same engine. [Read More]

Zelda: Breath of the Wild players have worked out how to beat enemies with a chicken

 Posted on December 27, 2022  |  2 minutes  |  329 words  |  Arica Deslauriers

The Legend of Zelda fans have turned a recurring Easter egg from the series into a surprising new battle tactic. Many Zelda games feature the "angry cucco" secret - where if you make Link attack a chicken (in the Zelda universe they're named cuccos) then eventually a whole flock of its friends will fly down and rapidly peck Link to death. This feature has never been much more than a joke - an unexpected consequence for picking on a poor chicken - until Breath of the Wild, that is. [Read More]
