The worry here isn't that they would all of a sudden stop caring, but rather that, if the game's player base falls off, they would quickly abandon ship. Respawn has been known to support their multiplayer games long after they should, so it isn't a real concern based on their track record, but it's always something to be conscious ab

The second season of Apex Legends offered something many fans didn't even know was going to be a part of it, which was new limited-time modes for players to experience. The most popular of these modes was a single-player version of the base 3 vs. 3 mode, and also one that only spawned snipers and shotguns on the

As of this writing, there really doesn't seem to be an equivalent to these locations in World's Edge. Some of this might have to do with players still figuring out the map and spreading out over a wide variety of drop locations, but it also seems like squads rotate much faster than they used to, likely due to the relative scarcity of loot in the new

The map in Apex Legends has only seen one major evolution throughout its lifetime, and that came once the second season began. These giant lumbering dinosaur-like creatures took up residence in King's Canyon, and their footsteps caused the landscape to change. Other than that, the map saw the addition of an Octane-inspired area and a lab portal, which was introduced after the premiere of Wraith's animated short. Here's hoping small and large changes come to King's Canyon and make familiar territory brand spanking

In translating the core gameplay to new platforms, Côté describes some of the considerations needed both for the Switch and upcoming mobile version of the game. For Nintendo, "the biggest thing with the Switch is obviously that visually it had to be accommodated and optimized a little bit compared to what we have on high end PCs…However, playing it in handheld, I think there is something kinetic about it, literally you’re so crunched into it, to me it’s a very different experience, I like that. I try to play at least a few games per day, especially on a new platform so I know what the hell I’m talking abo

The revamping of the leaderboards is certainly an interesting point to consider because the core concept of Dead by Daylight is that it is an anti-social multiplayer game. Some players may often think about how to maximize their score, but others simply play the game for the fun of its terrifying gamep

The mobile platform is it’s own monster to deal with, "the controls were the first thing we tackled, obviously, because its how you enjoy the game," Côté describes, "The team really nailed it, it’s simple, it works. We had a bit of an edge because the ps5 game comparison was always designed to be a two-button game. Ideally it was played on a controller, and the early prototypes were two shoulder buttons and the thumb sticks, and that was

Geysers actually acts just like a Jump Tower, propelling the player high into the air and putting them into skydiving mode. It's still useful, of course, especially when you're ready to rotate after looting the area. But it's a lot more time consuming and much more noticeable to nearby enemies than a simple boosted j

Apex Legends ' third season sees hacker extraordinaire Crypto added to the existing roster , and his unique skill set definitely shakes things up. All of Crypto's abilities revolve around the use of his Surveillance Drone, a deployable airborne robot that is definitely a lot more than a glorified mobile security camera. If you want to get good with Crypto, then you're going to need to get extremely familiar with its capabilit

Upon taking the Razer Viper out of its box, I immediately fell in love. The lightweight mouse - coming in at a weight of 69g - feels durable enough to withstand frantic motion and heavy-handed clicking, while the comfortable side grips ensure that I won’t need to worry about my thumb accidentally sliding at an inopportune in-game mom

The bot's actual cargo container changes colors as it floats along, from blue, to purple, and then gold or red. The color is reflective of the loot tier that is inside, so you'll need to time your shots in order to get the good stuff. Cargo Bots also have a chance to drop a Vault Key, which will open up one of the loot vaults spread around the map. We'll touch on those

For now, the future of Dead by Daylight looks bright, and the passion of its game director can only bring positive developments in the future. Now we wait to see if Oni is our next killer, or something new and twisted in betw

The southern portion of the map in World's Edge is dotted with locations that host flows of lava, and yes, they will do damage if you decide to stand around in them. They aren't instantly lethal, however, and do surprisingly small amounts of damage over t

A word of caution for those who might be ready to upgrade their setup. If you’ve never used professional esports-level gear like this before, there will be a bit of an adjustment period. The sensitivity and responsiveness of the Viper and Hunstman were unlike anything I’ve ever played on before, but soon became second nature. As long as you’re willing to put in the time to learn the ins-and-outs of your new gear, you’ll soon see just how advantageous Razer’s newest products can be in regards to your gamep
