The kind of experimentation was clear in the release of the Stranger Things chapter featuring Nancy Wheeler, Steve Harrington, and the Demogorgon. While that series leans less away from horror, Côté explained how positive the release was, „[ Stranger Things ] was by far the biggest release we’ve had in the history of Dead by Daylight , we broke out concurrent user records, and there are more people playing today than there have ever been. And with the Switch release, we just added on top of th
The Bunker is as simple as it is brilliant: it has a small, flexible arm that you feed your mouse cable through, give a little slack, and then never worry about snagging again. It has a sticky suction cup mount so you can put it anywhere on your desk (mine is slightly behind my monitor), and it has an awesome LED light ring with a dozen different colors to chose from. It also has two USB ports for extra charging, so as far as I'm concerned it's a win-win-
Perhaps even more than playing Dead by Daylight , its player base loves speculating about who the next survivors and killers will be to join in on the terrorizing fun that is sacrificing to, or escaping, the Entity. We recently had the opportunity to speak with Mathieu Côté, the game director for the PS5 game Performance at Behavior Interactive, and he had some fascinating insight on how these characters are chosen, as well as why Scooby Doo and the Mystery Incorporated gang will likely never appear in the g
The game still has very healthy numbers and offers a great free-to-play alternative for people. Will that base stick around once all of the major Fall video game releases start hitting shelves? Well, we'll have to wait and
This happens to all of us. People that play shooters typically avoid a wireless mouse because of latency concerns, but wired mice that run behind our desks get wrapped up in a tangle of cables from monitors, headphones, keyboards, and routers. It's a problem that we most of the time don't even realize happened. In the heat of battle, you may not even register your mouse got snagged. This will never be a problem again once you get the Bunker RGB from Coug
Imagine it's down to two teams in Apex Legends. Your squad is posted up in a two-story shack right in the middle of Swamps. As the circle closes in, each of you crouch in a corner waiting to hear footsteps. Your Caustic has peppered the house with traps, you've reloaded all your guns twice and topped off your armor. That's when you hear a Bloodhound ult as the final teams starts chucking grenades through the window. This is it, it's now or never, just as the Bloodhound comes up the stairs you whip your mouse around and take the shot, missing by an inch because your mouse cord snagged on the back of your desk! You lose the round, and of course, uninstall the g
„Scooby Doo is near and dear to Behavior, we’ve made a few games over the years, so yes, it is something we have brought to the table a couple of times. Unfortunately, the Scooby Doo franchise is one that they absolutely now want to keep kid friendly forever. There have been a few exceptions, on Supernatural the TV show and the Scooby Apocalypse comic series, and maybe there was a time they were more open to that kind of thing, but no, there is no chance right now. But that sort of thing, yes, we are constantly looking at what else we can do. The Scooby Doo thing was obviously one of the first things we looked
I first asked Côté if he was familiar with Harvey Birdman, Attorney at Law , to which he replied, „Yes, I am a huge fan!“ For the unfamiliar, the animated show is a real treat to watch, and revolves around many classic Hanna-Barbera characters facing ridiculous legal woes. In an episode titled, „Shaggy Busted“, Shaggy and Scooby run into trouble when an officer assumes that they are high on drugs, working the hippie vibe of the characters, and the gang needs to plead their innocence in co
Whether it’s through a new character with special abilities that counter Pathfinder, or the availability of grapple guns as loot items, there needs to be some way to give other characters the chance to be on effective footing with Pathfin
Some people say that a team's reliance on the Pathfinder character is fine because every team can choose to have a Pathfinder on it, which makes it fair to all. This isn’t inherently wrong, but it's still problematic. The game is designed to allow different team compositions to have different tactical advantages when playing together. The fact that teams so frequently rely on Pathfinder signifies an imbalance in the meta at a fundamental le
Even some of the more close-quarters oriented locales, like Capitol City, offer so much in the way of verticality that sniping from a rooftop perch is generally the go-to strategy. And that's completely overlooking the fact that the newest sniper weapon, the Charge Rifle, is absurdly overpowered as of right
