One of the biggest downsides to the early game of V Rising is how much traveling there is to do around the northern regions of the map. Anything north of the starting area of Farbane Woods requires several in-game hours to get to. This can make getting back to your castle difficult if the sun comes out during your travel. Luckily, there is one concrete way to make your traversal faster and more efficient. After a few hours in V Rising, you can get a horse. Horses can be acquired from a few different locations on the map. As you would expect, horses can move much quicker than you can on foot or even with the Wolf form ability you receive from defeating the Alpha Wolf. However, horses also need to be maintained just like your castle. For a full look at the horses in V Rising and how to acquire them, check out the guide below. Getting your first horse The location where you'll likely stumble across your first noble steed is in Dunley Farmlands. This is the region to the immediate … [Read more...] about How To Get A Horse In V Rising

A fan project has reimagined what a Pokemon game could look like if it was rendered in both 3D and its original art style. When the series first began way in the 1990s, Ken Sugimori served as character designer and helped create the signature look of the franchise at the time by using traditional art methods. Fan artist Pokeyugami took that unique aesthetic and applied it to a 3D world, with the end result looking like an impressive return to the origins of Pokemon. It's a short video, but it features a forest setting, a Caterpie, a Weedle, and a chubby Pikachu munching on a berry. これは時空の歪みによって生まれた、懐かしくも新しい『ポケットモンスター 初代』！ #pokemon pic.twitter.com/Mm7bF4M80F — ポケモン時空の歪み研究員 (@pokeyugami) May 20, 2022 Pokemon looks much different these days, although it still contains hints of its past in its overall design aesthetic. The next game in the mainline series, Pokemon Scarlet and Violet , still has that Sugimori DNA and mixes that with a vibrant palette of colors from its … [Read more...] about Pokemon Fan Project Brings Back Chubby Pikachu

After a brief delay , Genshin Impact's next substantial update has revealed a number of new features, events, and characters that'll be added to the game on May 31. The main draw of the Hidden Dreams in the Depths update will be the arrivial of two new characters, Yelan and Kuki Shinobu , to the game's roster. Previously teased by Hoyoverse, Yelan claims to be a Ministry of Civil Affairs employee in Inazuma--but she's probably a spy--who wields Hydro powers, and Kuki Shinobu operates as a high-voltage ninja and deputy commander of the Arataki gang. For her elemental burst skill, Yelan can summon a die that deals coordinated Hydro attacks on top of regular attacks, and she benefits from a passive buff that allows aimed arrows charge faster and become more powerful when she's outside of combat. Lifeline can mark enemies so that they'll take additional damage when attacked. Kuki Shinobu functions as a healer and warrior, using her elemental skill Sanctifying Ring to transfer a … [Read more...] about Genshin Impact Update 2.7 Arrives On May 31, Adds New Characters And Events

Take-Two, the parent company of GTA developer Rockstar Games, has completed one of the biggest acquisitions in the history of video games. Take-Two's previously announced $12.7 billion acquisition of FarmVille company Zynga is now complete. As previously announced, Zynga stockholders are getting $3.50 in cash for each share they own and 0.0406 shares of Take-Two stock for every Zynga stock they hold. Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick said in a statement that this deal is a "pivotal" play for the company to help it make even more money from mobile gaming. Mobile is the fastest-growing part of gaming, Zelnick said, and buying Zynga gives the company access to FarmVille and many other popular and lucrative franchises. Many other publishers, including EA, are spending billions in the mobile market because mobile gaming is bigger and more popular than console and PC. Zynga boss Frank Gibeau said, "We are eager to continue building an unparalleled portfolio of games that will reach … [Read more...] about Take-Two Now Owns Zynga As Part Of Second-Biggest Deal In Gaming History

Electronic Arts is reportedly pursuing a sale or merger, and it's claimed that the video game publisher and developer has held talks with Disney, Apple, Amazon, and Comcast - NBC Universal over a possible deal. According to news site Puck (via VGC ), EA has been "persistent in pursuing a sale" and at one point it looked like Comcast subsidiary NBC Universal would have merged with the gaming company, with Comcast CEO Brian Roberts running the combined entity. "The general terms of the proposal, which lawyers and bankers for both sides negotiated for several weeks, would have seen the Roberts family take majority control of the combined entity," the report claims. "In the configuration most seriously discussed, the company would have been run by Wilson." That deal eventually fell apart due to disagreements over price and structure. Neither Comcast nor EA have commented on the report. The report also claims that Microsoft's purchase of Activision Blizzard for a staggering sum … [Read more...] about EA Is Looking To Sell Itself Or Merge With Another Company – Report
