Hyper Scape is dying. The game Ubisoft proclaimed was “the future of battle royale” has dipped to an average Twitch viewership of less than 1000 — lower than officially-dead battle royales like Realm Royale — and continues to sink deeper. Players are reporting long queue times and empty lobbies. Only three months after release, Hyper Scape seems to be on its way out. This should surprise no one. Compared to every other battle royale available, Hyper Scape is arguably the most bare-bones, one-note game released in the genre so far....

Chaos reigns. Chaos was surprisingly hard to come by in Blackout, Call of Duty: Black Ops 4‘s anticipated battle royale mode, which just wrapped up a public beta. Between Fortnite and PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds, it’s a crowded market, but Call of Duty is looking to carve a space by giving players weirder tools of destruction....

Into The Darkness is a title by Cosmos Games. While robots are useful labor, what do we do to help our own bodies? Is there a way to transcend death? Can melding our bodies with machines brings us immortality? Once we’re integrated, is there a chance to lose what makes us human? These are definitely questions that will need answers. And some have already begun conducting shady experiments in the pursuit of science....

New rumors suggest that Microsoft may be contemplating ditching disks when the next generation of consoles arrives during a “confirmed” 2013 launch window. According to MCV Microsoft’s Next Xbox will shift storage technology from disks to solid-state card storage. Eventhough it’s being reported that this “inside source” is under the “strictest NDA they have ever encountered”, they’ve also told the UK publication that a 2013 launch date has been confirmed, but its still unclear when Microsoft will time their announcement, putting E3 back on the table for Microsoft if these rumors pan out....

It’s rife with plenty of tools to run a successful park, with lots of potential for mods and other items to be added by fans. There’s just one caveat to that, though. It doesn’t feature mod support, and probably never will. According to developer Frontier Developments’ CEO David Braben when speaking to PC Gamer, this is because the game will continue to receive updates and keeping mod support out of the title will make it easier to do so....

She wrote that she wished to sell a bottled product of “how I feel about myself.” She managed to have some fun with her laughing emojis at the end and calling out the ridiculous things people had said.

Kingdom Hearts III isn’t coming out yet, but a lot of players have only a question: how many Disney’s Worlds are there in the game? This is an important question because the main feature of the series is precisely the crossover between Final Fantasy and Disney, so players give a lot of importance to the number of Disney’s world in Kingdom Hearts chapters Unfortunately, in Kingdom Hearts III there aren’t a lot of Disney’s worlds, only nine, and we have already seen them in the game’s trailers: it seems to be good, but players aren’t too happy with their quantity....
