EA Sports College Football 25 has plenty of surprises for those down on the field, but also up in the sky. During a clip shared by the Twitter/X account of UCF Football, the commentator makes a note of a rocket launch happening in the midst of a game.

“And if we can divert your attention for the sky for a second, what an amazing sight that is,” says the in-game commentator in the clip, as “Sandstorm” by Darude plays in the background. “Few people know that the 50-yard line at UCF Stadium lines up with the launch pad at Cape Canaveral about 50 miles away.”

Diablo 4 secret-hunters have done it again, this time discovering how to acquire a secret Unique item no player on Earth will actually want to use.

The ring, ominously named the Ring of Misfortune, has been known to Diablo 4 dataminers for some time now, but what wasn’t clear was how to actually obtain it in-game. Reddit user Sowhatsthecatch, who first posted about the discovery, says some of the requirements for obtaining the item are still “a little shaky,” but it does seem to require a group of players to be under the effects of a Greed Shrine.

Deadpool & Wolverine is in theaters now and is making lots and lots of money, breaking a the box-office record for an R-rated movie over its opening weekend. The movie is also a record-breaker when it comes to swearing. The film has 116 uses of the f-word, according to New York Post. That’s the most in franchise history, eclipsing Deadpool 2’s 90 utterances of the word “fuck.”

Deadpool & Wolverine is not the first MCU movie to feature the f-word, though, as Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 contained the franchise’s first use of the bad word. That movie is rated PG-13, so it was allowed one use of the word. Deadpool & Wolverine is rated R and can use the word far more liberally.

In terms of how Deadpool & Wolverine’s use of the word stacks up to other movies in …

[UPDATE] Dockworkers are back to work today, October 4, following three days of work stoppage. The workers will go back to work until January 15, 2025, so the two sides can come to terms on a final agreement. The ports were offering a 50% pay increase but upped that to 62% over six years, reports suggest. The dockworkers union was asking for a 77% increase, according to The Associated Press.

The original story is below.

For the first time since 1977, dockworkers at ports from Maine to Texas are on strike for higher wages and better working conditions, prompting fears of product shortages. But will the strike, which covers 45,000+ dockworkers at 36 ports on the US East and Gulf coasts, impact video games?

The short answer: prob…

Earlier this week, the Kingdom Hearts Union χ Dark Road application was unexpectedly delisted from the Apple and Google Play stores.

The Kingdom Hearts Union χ Dark Road mobile game contained pivotal lore, key story details, and an in-depth plot for the basis of much of the Kingdom Hearts series. Unchained X–previously known as Union X–and Dark Road did receive a cutscene compilation people can watch to experience the story, but playing the game seems to now be a bygone pasttime for Kingdom Hearts fans.

This delisting poses great problems since one of the main characters introduced in the mobile game, Strelitzia, also appears in the first Kingdom Hearts 4 trailer and is teased to play a major role in the new installment alongside Sora. Come from Read more

According to a new report, Microsoft has created a “new committee” in its Activision division that will make key decisions about the future of the Call of Duty brand. According to TheGhostOfHope, who has accurately reported on unannounced Call of Duty developments in the past, Microsoft’s new committee will listen to suggestions from Call of Duty studios like Treyarch and Infinity Ward, but ultimately the committee will decide “features” and “systems” to come in future games.

Hope went on to say whether or not a feature like Omnimovement continues beyond Black Ops 6 will be decided by committee, not by any one studio. The insider went on to say a Call of Duty developers are being told “not to innovate” in “UI, Prestige, and certain gameplay features.” Instead, studios are being as…

Civilization 7 starts you off with one lowly settlement in the Antiquity Age, but as you progress, you can amass an entire empire’s worth of towns and cities. Your cities are the powerhouses of the empire, producing massive structures, while the towns can specialize in one type of production to aid the capital of your civilization.

However, to get to the point of ruling over dozens of settlements, you need to first learn how to acquire them. There are roughly four main methods to get more settlements in Civilization VII, and you can see what they are in the guide below.

How to get more settlements in Civilization 7

All settlements, except for your capital, will usually start as a town. Then, as your empire grows, you can convert the towns into cities, which comes wit…

When Russia invaded Ukraine on February 24, 2022, it threw the entire country into chaos. Missiles fell on Ukrainian cities and Russian soldiers pushed over its borders. For developers at Ukrainian developer GSC Game World, it was a harrowing time–they had to decide whether to flee the fighting and the country or stay behind to help and even to fight.

Documentary War Game: The Making of Stalker 2 covers the development of Stalker 2: Heart of Chornobyl before and during the Russian invasion, bringing life to an often deeply emotional and frightening tale of what the studio’s 300 employees faced. As developers worked to complete a game about which many felt deeply passionate–2008’s Stalker: Shadow of Chornobyl is notable for its commercial and critical success,…

Earth Defense Force 6 is the pinnacle of a series that many people view as being a fairly mindless shooter. Despite that, it also has the best use and interpretation of time travel of any game I’ve played. It does that without leveraging new-fangled fancy graphics, instead relying on quality storytelling and some very cool meta decisions that change up the usual “just pick the next mission” grind that’s present in these games. EDF 6 uses all of these things to great effect, and it makes the time-travel concept almost feel believable.

Earth Defense Force 6 spoilers follow.

The fact that time travel is ingrained into basically every aspect of the story means that, while it’s not as visually striking as the time travel offere…

Electronic Arts CEO Andrew Wilson has said its College Football 25 developers implementing AI technology was critical for creating a game that lived up to its quality standards and impressed fans. Speaking during EA’s latest earnings briefing, Wilson said AI “amplified and accelerated” the development on the game.

“In the absence of AI, we simply would not have been able to deliver College Football at the level we did, even though we’d given the team many, many years in development. It was the first time we had done it in 10 years, and the level of gameplay and the level of visual fidelity that we did, was a combination of many years of work of our incredible teams, amplified and accelerated by AI,” he said. “Something that we just wouldn’t have been able to do as little as two or…
