Warner Bros. Suspends PC sales of Batman: Arkham Knight

In an attempt to address the terrible performance issues in the PC version of Batman: Arkham Knight, Warner Bros. and developer Rocksteady have effectively suspended all sales of the PC version of the title. Warner Bros. announced the decision on their official forums yesterday. We want to apologize to those of you who are experiencing performance issues with Batman: Arkham Knight on PC. We take these issues very seriously and have therefore decided to suspend future game sales of the PC version while we work to address these issues to satisfy our quality standards. We greatly value our customers and know that while there are a significant amount of players who are enjoying the game on PC, we want to do whatever we can to make the experience better for PC players overall.  The publisher also stated that players can request a refund through Steam or even from the retail store where the game was purchased, if they want.  Warner also expressed gratitude to the players

New Plot Details Revealed for Dragon Ball: Super, will be 100 episodes

If you are a DragonballZ fan, you'd probably already know a thing or two about the upcoming Dragon Ball: Super. First, the story will pick up shortly after Goku and his friends have defeated Majin Buu (rendering the last couple of episodes of DBZ non-canon) and secondly, the anime will take place after the events of the two most recent DBZ animated films, namely Dragon Ball Z: Battle of Gods and Dragon Ball Z: Resurrection ‘F’ . Now some new details about the storyline of the series' first episode have surfaced, courtesy of the August issue of the V Jump magazine: After defeating Majin Buu, life is peaceful once again. Ordered by Chi-chi to earn money, Goku works even as he wants to train even more. Meanwhile, Goten, about to become a brother-in-law to Videl, sets out on a journey with Trunks to find her a present.   Seems pretty DBZ-ish and that's definitely a good thing. Also, take a good look at the image above, the new characters seem like the counterpart

Uncharted 4 isn't Open World, it's "Wide-Linear", Dev says

In a recent interview with Gamespot at E3 2015, Neil Druckmann, creative director of Naughty Dog, revealed that Uncharted 4 will not be following the Open World sandbox route to deliver it's signature brand of experience. Yeah, I mean the term we use is wide-linear. It's not open-world, because we wanted to tell a very specific story, with very specific tension. Druckmann stated that the relaxed pace of Open World experiences can really get in the way of the dynamics of the narrative, particularly in the case of a focused experience like the Uncharted 4: A Thief's End. The thing I have a hard time with, in open-world games, is that there's a lack of tension. Say if my ally's life is in jeopardy; I can still go off and do five different side-quests, and I don't believe that jeopardy. So I feel we need some way to control the pacing, and it needs to be ways where you are still active as well. I have to agree, for a heavily story driven experi

Wishlist for Dragonball: Super

As someone whose childhood was spent in the 90's, it's impossible for me to not become a fan of DragonballZ. I remember myself eagerly waiting for the weekends to arrive so I could find out how the evil Saiyans could be defeated or how Gohan, Krillin and Vegeta can stand against the Ginyu Force. DragonballZ was a pure, unadultered expression of everything that captures the sense of fantasy and innocence of childhood. That's why so many people around the world associate DragonballZ with their childhood.  Needless to say, the release of Dragonball: Super as the continuation of the original story of DBZ has me completely stoked. And I'm sure it'll deliver, as Akira Toriyama himself is at the helm of the series, unlike Dragonball GT which Toriyama himself described as just a “side story”. The man must have some really great ideas as there's no other reason for him to return to the series after nearly two decades.  As DB: Super will take place after
