Call of Duty WWII

Call of Duty: WWII is launching on November 3 for PC, PS4, and Xbox One.

This year's entry in the shooter franchise follows the US 1st Infantry Division as they fight their way through the European theater of the war. Missions include the D-Day invasion of Normandy and Battle of the Bulge.

Although you primarily play as the young, inexperienced Private Daniels in the single-player, there will also be a mission that casts you as a woman fighting in the French resistance.

A full multiplayer reveal is slated for E3 in June, but for now we know just a few details. As for co-op, little was shared, but it will apparently take the form of "a new and original story" featuring zombies.

Project Scorpio Devkits Spotted in the Wild


Microsoft's latest revision of the Xbox One, internally referred to as Project Scorpio, was finally spotted in the wild. This information comes straight from Gamesutra who recently had the pleasure of interviewing several Microsoft employees that were key in designing this new system. It's clear that the 90's VCR aesthetic was not abandoned - in fact, the Scorpio devkit goes one step further by implementing an LCD display which probably won't be featured in the final retail units.

Project Scorpio specs (Xbox One) revealed

Microsoft has finally shed light on just what their upcoming console will have under the hood. The picture above details what these specs are, as well as compares them with the PS4 Pro and Xbox One. It'll also be utilizing Microsoft's Direct 3D 12, and if you have a gaming PC, you'll know that Direct X12 usually allows for impressive performance boosts. Featuring 12 GBs of RAM, a 1 TB HDD, and a 4K UHD Blu-ray player (which the PS4 Pro lacks), it seems that this console has blown expectations away. During the event, Forza was shown off, running at a stunning native 4K/60 fps. Not only that, but since the Scorpio is backwards compatible, that means that currently existing Xbox One titles, as well as backwards compatible 360 titles will be getting in on the huge performance and visual boost.

Breath of the Wild gets patch, improves performance



Nintendo has put out a patch for The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, which, according to Nintendo, "makes for a more pleasant gaming experience". Basically, it means there's been some noticeable improvements to the game's frame rate. Reports say that this patch helps the performance in the Korok Forest and Great Plateau areas, places that have severe performance problems.
