Is The Quarry Cross Platform

That being said, you’re going to be glued to this narrative adventure for almost ten hours, if not longer. If you’re planning on playing multiplayer with friends, be it couch co-op or online wolf pack mode, it’s important to check how cross platform works in The Quarry, and even cross progression. Is The Quarry cross platform? Simply put, The Quarry does not support cross platform play.

It Looks Like The Final Fantasy Pixel Remasters Are Finally Coming To Consoles

You would think that some simple remasters of the first six Final Fantasy games would be a shoo-in for at the very least a Nintendo Switch release. That would be a good business decision from Square Enix, but this is also the company that is insisting on pushing forward with blockchain nonsense, so who’s to say what the right call is. Fortunately for us though, it seems to have acquired some sense after all, as it looks like PS4 and Switch versions of the remasters are on the way....

It S Becoming Increasingly Likely That Far Cry 6 Could Be A Vaas Prequel

The idea that Far Cry 6 would centre on Vaas’ past was originally floated by IGN journalist Joe Skrebels on Twitter - check it out below. As you can see, Diego Castillo - the 13-year-old secondary antagonist of Far Cry 6 - bears an identical eyebrow scar to Far Cry 3’s Vaas Montenegro - although he hasn’t quite got Vaas’ slightly larger scar on the other side of his face yet....

Kirby 64 The Crystal Shards Has A Game Breaking Bug Which Forces You To Quit The Offending Level

According to a post on reddit from user keyblademasternadroj (thanks, Nintendo Everything), the bug appears in underwater levels when hit by certain damage sources. This causes Kirby to be stunned “forever,” and to fix it, you need to quit the level. Apparently, the bug was not included in the original N64 game, so it is something new with the Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack release. We can probably expect Nintendo to release an update pretty soon considering this is a rather serious bug....

Let S Play Naraka Bladepoint Crouching Tiger Battle Royale

I’ve been having a lot of fun with Naraka: Bladepoint. It’s one of the games I was most looking forward to in August, and so far it really feels as if it’s living up to my expectations. It’s essentially a mingling of the fighting game and battle royale genres - cramming fighter-like character abilities and archetypes into the battle royale format. With all the different abilities on offer and characters quite literally flying around it gets pretty chaotic - but in a good, fun way....

Lost Ark Breaks 500 000 Concurrent Players On Steam And It S Not Even Free To Play Yet

On Steam, where Lost Ark is available exclusively, the game peaked at 532,476 concurrent players, according to SteamDB. In fact, the initial pre-load unlock and new downloads took players longer than they should because Steam’s servers got hammered. Lost Ark is free-to-play, but you can only access it now by buying any of the four founder’s packs, which start at $15 and go as high as $100. The actual free-to-play launch doesn’t kick off until Friday, February 11 - so we can only imagine how much higher those numbers are going to get....

Microsoft S Id Xbox Winter Game Fest Demo Event Kicks Off On December 7
