Infinity Ward has spoken up about its mentality towards Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3’s multiplayer mode, and the studio is leaning more towards Call of Duty 4 than Modern Warfare 2 for inspiration. One of the main new design philosophies is that there will be no more than five camper-friendly hotspots per map. Why? “It simplifies it so that the less skilled player has less to think about,” Infinity Ward creative strategist Robert Bowling told Kotaku....
Modern Warfare Remastered will be updated with six free multiplayer maps and two new game modes next Tuesday, December 13, Activision has announced. The six maps include classic Call of Duty 4 battlegrounds Bloc, Countdown, Pipeline, Showdown, Strike and Wet Work, with the new game modes set to introduce Gun Game and Hardpoint.

Our friends at ModMyMods, who helped us build our official Den of Geek PC last year, have released a new product called ModWater, a coolant that is specifically designed to help fuel the liquid cooling system in your PC. DIYers will likely be familiar with the water cooling systems that have become more common in today’s PC builds. For the uninitiated, water cooling is generally regarded as a more efficient way to cool vital PC components such as your CPU and GPU....
Following its long-awaited official unveiling last week, Naughty Dog has given another glimpse of its The Last of Us Part 1 remake for PS5 and PC, this time showcasing what it calls a “glow up” for supporting character Tess. During last week’s Summer Game Fest, one of the key arguments Naughty Dog’s Neil Druckmann made for remaking The Last of Us - a game that already got the remaster treatment in 2014 - was that the additional power of modern hardware would enable it to get closer to its “original vision”....
NBA 2K20 doesn’t only allow players to take on the role of their favorite modern players such as LeBron James or James Harden. There are legendary and historic teams and players that allow people to experience the greatness of the NBA’s storied past. Every team has one or two legends that can dominate on any given night, but who’s the likeliest to dominate out of everyone? Which players rise above the other greats?...

SNK’s second Neo Geo Pocket Color compilation for Switch and PC - which the publisher is sensibly calling Neo Geo Pocket Color Selection V2 - will be making its way to Steam and Nintendo’s eShop next Wednesday 9th November. As with volume 1, which released last September, this second collection bundles together 10 gaming favourites from SNK’s short-lived but much-loved Neo Geo Pocket. Somewhat unhelpfully, SNK is yet to announce what those 10 games will be, but sharp-eyed readers with better SNK knowledge than me might find some clues in the accompanying announcement artwork below....
NetherRealm Studios is well aware of the high expectation fans of the Mortal Kombat series have for their upcoming title. Sure, the developer wants to bring new ideas and concepts to their beloved franchise, but the fans are going to want a lot of the familiar qualities from past games to return. In a newly released vignette trailer — centered around the back story and the moves of Raiden — fans of the Mortal Kombat series will be extremely pleased to see that the god of thunder is sporting some of his signature moves and his back story is the same tried and true story from MK’s past....

A new trailer for upcoming racing game F1 22 brings plenty of looks at new gameplay features that players can expect from the title. Perhaps the biggest headliner is the promise of “new handling,” so players who have played previous F1 iterations might have to relearn the vehicles. You can see the video here and below: For those who maybe aren’t much of a circuit racer, there will be an “F1 Sprint” mode to look forward to....
HoYoverse released a new trailer of its super-popular action RPG Genshin Impact focusing on one of the characters coming with update 3.3. The new character is Wanderer, but players have already met him in the story as Fatui harbinger Scaramouche. He used to be an enemy, but things can change. We get to see part of his backstory, including a cute reference to Hans Christian Andersen’s Steadfast Tin Soldier fairy tale....
Last week, an update brought Mortal Kombat 11’s newest DLC character, Sindel, to NetherRealm Studios’ highly-popular fighting game. As is often the case with these types of updates, the one that launched Sindel contained files associated with content that is not yet available in MK11, and fans have been sifting through these files ever since the update’s release. Indeed, several new pieces of content have been discovered through this process, and that includes some holiday-themed rewards that players can look forward to....
Not content with attempting to polish up the Xbox One version of PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds, developer Bluehole confirmed today that it’s also preparing to launch a new update for the PC version of the hit title. The latest PUBG update is currently being tested by the team and will hit the game’s live servers shortly thereafter. The patch adds a wealth of bug fixes for the popular survival-’em-up, as well as reducing draw distance while parachuting, and more cover options around La Bendita....
I know what you’re thinking: “they made three of these already?” Yup, the big numero tres. I haven’t played the first two Nickelodeon Kart Racers, but I figured it had been too long since I last played a kart game. I loved Mario Kart on the SNES and N64 as a kid but mostly grew out of the genre and moved onto faster, more realistic racers. But there’s something that’s just cuddly about playing as a childhood favorite character, listening to them quip, and drifting around a cartoony track while slamming the other racers with items....
You know it’s a sad state of affairs when developers now have to confirm whether there will be loot crates of microtransactions for games nowhere near ready to ship. Obsidian wants to get things straight right away. Yesterday Take-Two Interactive announced their new publishing label called Private Division and revealed that Obsidian’s new RPG is on their developer list. Obsidian has been quick out the blocks to state that the new RPG will not include loot crates of microtransactions....
The Epic Games Store is on a roll again with more free content and discounts than you can possibly gobble up. While the exclusivity shenanigans are still afoot, it’s hard to get mad at the incoming barrage of free games in addition to the previous two years of free weekly offers. Today is the second day of the “15 days of free games in December” event or whatever the Epic Games Store is calling it....
Yesterday, Ooblets developer Ben Wasser published a Medium post that spotlighted a fraction of the violent verbal threats and abuse the studio Glumberland endured as a result of its Epic exclusivity agreement. Last week, Glumberland announced that its game would now be released on the Epic Games Store, and explained in a blog post why they took up the offer and what it would mean for Ooblets. In essence, the investment from Epic allows Glumberland to allocate more resources to complete the game’s development, and keeps the lights on for an independent studio....

She used to hate the altered as they killed her friends, but when she turns in an altered herself, she becomes hostile towards you. So let’s look at how to fight and beat the altered Bailey in Outriders Boss fight....
