The game was a success for many gamers thanks to the high-quality gunplay enhanced by the TMD (Time-Manipulation Device), a device that allowed players to manipulate time objects and enemies with varying effects. It was a fun concept and backed by an interesting time-hopping story, Singularity delivered a stand-out shooter experience. It's a shame more gamers haven't experienced

Hardcore Gamer was at Call of Duty XP in Inglewood all week long, immersing ourselves in everything Call of Duty. We’ve already posted our hands-on impressions of Infinite Warfare and a myriad of news, but now it’s time to delve deep into the inner-workings of this year's releases. After talking with Infinity Ward about Infinite Warfare's multiplayer and Lee Ross about Zombies in Spaceland , we sat down for an extended roundtable with Raven Software Studio Director, David Pellas, to learn about the process of remastering Call of Duty: Modern Warfare. The session ended up being refreshingly candid and brought forth multiple revelations about the development of the title.

This engine features a lot of the same functionality that you can find in modern CODs. So staring with those layouts and starting with the gameplay and the timing, our engineers created a system that would record controller inputs and it did a comparison between how much time it took to move from start to run, how much time it took for you to press a button and the action actually take place on the 360 and compared that to what it was on the Xbox One and Playstation 4. So I can tell you that down the hundreth of a second we are identical in timing to things like ADSs and things like mantling. We've also made improvements to them so they also look more modern and they act and behave as gamers today would expect them to. For the mantling we added animations that instead of just running up to something, pressing the button, then playing an animation to mantle over, and then picking up and running again. You can now run to it and if you press the button you can now plant your hand on the object you're trying to mantle, crawl over it like you would in a modern game, and you can keep moving. The timing is exactly the same, but the visuals are the upgrade we did in that regard. The ADSing for the sniper is a really good example in that we used to have an animation that moved about a quarter of the way and it just popped to a screen overlay.

Wolfenstein: The New Order put players into an incredibly twisted Nazi-occupied America. The game is packed full of adrenaline-pumping gunfights, standout villains , and plenty of great mission locations; there's a part where players invade a Nazi base on the Moon. The game is a brilliant reboot and one that deserves to be ported alongside its seq

It may not be the most recent in the Far Cry timeline, but it's still one of the best open-world shooters out there. With so many Assassin's Creed games already ported over to the Switch, it feels like it's time Ubisoft shared that same love with Far C

So...Infinite Warfare huh? A far-flung space-based voyage that may be seen as the ultimate in future sci-fi transitioning for the lucratively-successful fps Game Guide franchise. Pardon me if my words look or even sound flat, but we've been here plenty times before: a reveal of a rather (it has to be said) obtuse intensity that surprises no one yet still locks fans in deep, deep debate. Some relish the new look, others are a lot less pleased. Yet it's Modern Warfare Remastered that seems to be the talk of the town over Infinity Ward's new title. A supposed return to what many perceive as the best entry in the series -- a game that revolutionized the first-person shooter and gave birth to an online multiplayer system that still persists to this very day. And while many may take to the word "remaster" with a possible rolling of the eyes (for understandably good reason), is a bundled-in return to Call of Duty 4's setting, premise and very nature of modern military shooting really all that bad?

Whether we wanted it to or not, Modern Warfare Remastered's position as an add-on rather than a stand-alone experience is but one small symptom of the very business we, as fans, call video games...and others may prefer to call...opportunity. This isn't an attack on Activision or its fans, but rather an affirmed noting that whatever happens come the end of this year -- when the consumer-base has not one, but two [technically] new titles to play -- will ultimately play a critical role in further shaping this "beloved" shooter's fate in the coming years. It's a role Infinite Warfare may not want to have weighing on its shoulders, but truth be told, it's one of the most interesting and heated developments this series has taken for quite some time. The power is indeed, this time, in the consumer's hands.

Fragpunk’s lancers and Valorant’s agents both have unique abilities and gameplay styles you can use in your mission to win. While Valorant's agents have been called out multiple times for being overpowered and have subsequently been nerfed to make the gameplay more balanced , Fragpunk's lancers haven't gotten the time to settle in yet. Remember, agents like Jett and Neon were considered broken when they came out before getting nerfed, and the same may happen h
