Wild Hearts Is Being Review Bombed On Steam Over Performance Issues

Wild Hearts has finally launched, and while plenty of people are getting stuck into some monster slaying action on consoles, those who've picked the Game up on PC are less than impressed. It was reported a few days ago during the Game 's Early Access period that Wild Hearts was suffering from some performance-related issues that were affected the Game in noticeable ways. Wild Hearts developer Omega Force has responded to those concerned about the Game 's performance on PC, explaining that a CPU bottleneck is the cause of the issue and will be fixed soon. That hasn't stopped players from heading to the Game 's Steam page to leave a negative review though. Despite the Game reviewing fairly well across a range of outlets, Wild Hearts' user reviews on Steam currently sit at Mostly Negative, with many of them pointing to the Game 's performance issues as the cause.

Fortnite Confirms Addition Of Sam Wilson Captain America

You know that scene in Avengers: End Game where Thanos is laying into Captain America, who then gets a radio message from Sam Wilson saying, "On your left" and everyone in the theater went wild? Well this isn't exactly the same thing, but Fortnite has finally added Sam Wilson's version of Captain America to the Game . The new Cap is now available in the Fortnite Item Shop, along with all his accessories. This addition is accompanied by Fortnite's newest hero, BriteStar. "Picking up the shield is no easy feat.

Sonic Frontiers Mod Adds Cut Enemy Designs

Sonic Frontiers was in the works for years and went through a bunch of iterations before Sonic Team landed on the look and feel of the final product. And as revealed in some concept art made available to anyone who picked up the Digital Deluxe Edition of the Game , there were some enemy designs left on the cutting room floor. Now, a fan has gone back and re-implemented them into the Game , replacing the vanilla enemy designs with something a lot more exciting. These different interpretations of the enemies found across the Open Zones in Frontiers are a lot flashier than what the devs settled on in the end, and give us a glimpse at what the Game could have looked like.

At the time of writing, three enemy designs have been updated: Soldier, Squid, and Caterpillar. These r...

CMA Confirms Nintendo Switch Online Will Be Available On Another Device

Given how early into the current generation of gaming the Nintendo Switch launched, it often feels more behind the other consoles than usual. Due to this, it's often assumed that Nintendo will drop it long before Sony and Microsoft move away from the PS5 and Xbox Series X respectively, perhaps even within the next couple of years. And now, the UK's Com Pet itions & Market Authority might have just spilt the beans. As part of its investigation into Microsoft's acquisition of Activision Blizzard, the CMA is looking at the industry as a whole. In doing this, it has covered Nintendo's share of the gaming market, briefly going over its Nintendo Switch Online offerings. Here, it says that NSO's cloud gaming is "only available on the Nintendo Switch device and [redacted]". This suggests that the CMA has been made aware of another device that will support Nintendo's cloud gaming, with the studio not ready to unveil this just yet. Rel...

Dead Space Fans Discuss Whether They Want A Fourth Game Or Another Remake

Dead Space fans are discussing whether they'd want a remake of Dead Space 2 and 3, or if they'd rather Motive just skipped ahead and made a brand-new Game . After the successful launch of the Dead Space remake, all that fans of the series can think about is when we're going to get more of Isaac Clarke and his Plasma Cutter. Thankfully, Motive has already confirmed that the studio is interested in working on the series some more after it takes a little break and finishes up work on its Iron Man Game . Related: I Can't Believe It Took Me 15 Years To Play Dead Space That raises a whole other question though - should Motive remake the next two games in the series, or should it just skip ahead and do something entirely new?

Lego Issues Copyright Strikes Against Videos Of Unreleased Zelda And LOTR Sets

Lego has fueled rumors The Legend Of Zelda will finally be getting an official set by issuing takedowns to YouTube channels using the possibly leaked images. The takedowns also apply to a Lord of the Rings set which was confirmed to be real earlier this month. Reported by VGC, Lego has been issuing takedowns for videos featuring images of the Rivendell and Great Deku Tree sets. The Rivendell set is now official, will be made up of more than 6,000 pieces, and retails at $500.

Pokemon Go Blames Event Issues On Too Many People Entering A Public Park

Pokemon Go Tour: Hoenn has come to Las Vegas, and it's a hit. Well, too much of a hit. In a bizarre turn of events, the first in-person Pokemon Go event of the year has proven so popular, that Niantic told players not to turn up. This comes after Niantic decided to host a Pokemon Go event in a public park, making it easy for those without tickets to attend and see what the tour has to offer. This reportedly resulted in poor connections across the event, although players seem to have little sympathy for the organisers. Related: This Year's Pokemon Day Could Be Huge For New Game s "Trainers, we appreciate the enthusiasm you showed today at Pokémon GO Tour: Hoenn – Las Vegas," reads a tweet thread from the official Pokemon Go account. "An additional 17,000 Trainers without tickets joined us at the park, causing spotty connectivity throughout the day. This led to Trainers disconnecting from raids, being unable to log in, and other issues with Ga...

Sonic Might Get A Girlfriend, Says Frontiers Director

Amy likes Sonic, but Sonic doesn't like Amy. That's the dynamic we've been working with for years now, with the one-sided obsession between the pair being taken to comical lengths at times. I mean, there was that one time they beat the crap out of each other because Amy wanted to marry him. It's been a wild ride. But now, that could be coming to an end. Over on Twitter, Sonic Frontiers director Morio Kishimoto is hinting that the pair will finally be in a proper, less volatile relationship in a future Game , with the dev "looking forward" to seeing how Sonic's love life pans out. Related: Tears Of The Kingdom Leaks Should Worry Us, But Not For The Reason You Think THEGAMER VIDEO OF THE DAY In other words, yes, the director of many Sonic Game s may have just casually confirmed that Sonamy will be canon.

Mortal Kombat 11 Fans Discover Hidden Voice Line Four Years After Launch

Mortal Kombat 11 will be four years old in April, and fans are still making new discoveries. The latest is one that was teased by NetherRealm Studios senior designer Aaron Davis back in 2020, three years ago, and as it turns out, he was hinting at a hidden voice line. "For people who like hidden stuff in MK Game s, there's something in MK11 I put in that hasn't been found yet from what I can tell," Davis tweeted (as reported by Euro Game r). "Only hint I'll give is it's done inside a match and it's been there since day 1, so not DLC related." RELATED: Marvel’s Midnight Suns' Abbey Is The Perfect Mix Of Hades And Mortal Kombat YouTuber Waz, on February 19, revealed that, after four years, the mystery had finally been cracked, and it's an old-school style easter egg.

Pokemon Presents Confirmed For Pokemon Day, February 27

Another Pokemon Presents is on the way, set for February 27. This coincides with the annual Pokemon Day, suggesting that we'll get some substantial news on updates to existing Game s, and perhaps even some new title reveals. This comes amid rumours that we're set to get another Pokemon Mystery Dungeon, as previous series developer, Spike Chunsof, was spotted on the Pokemon Day webpage. If the studio is involved in the February 27 celebrations in any capacity, it is most likely in relation to a new Mystery Dungeon game, having worked on the series since the originals in 2005.

Atomic Heart Players Complain About Lack Of Basic Features Like Adjustable FOV And Subtitles

Atomic Heart launched to mixed reviews, but players have noticed the absence of some fairly basic features. As well as the Soviet-inspired shooter not launching with the promised ray-tracing feature, it also doesn't contain the ability to change the FOV, a staple of almost all first-person PC Game s. Developer Mundfish took to Twitter to tell people the issue would be rectified soon, but players just had more complaints. Dubious_Space wrote, "I would love to play more of this, but I can't read any of the subtitles. Please give us the option to adjust the size. Thanks." The Game r's review of Atomic Heart noted the small subtitles too. Mundfish responded that it would also be addressing this.
