Piotr Rasputin, whose mutant name is Colossus, is a longtime favorite amongst X-Men fans. Having joined the team in Giant-Size X-Men #1 (the same issue that introduced Wolverine, Storm, and Nightcrawler) in 1975, Colossus has supported the X-Men through some of their biggest stories throughout the years and continues to be a major asset to the team. Colossus is one of the more high-profile members of the X-Men, having appeared in several of the live-action films, including a major role in Deadpo...

Côté explained that the shift here is about focus. As a survivor...

Fortnite ’s art style seems to clash with the realism that the Unreal Engine is advertising, and at the top end Fortnite doesn't take full advantage of Unreal 5 , but these changes actually make for a better experience for all players. Not only does the development team benefit from improvements to workflow management and processing speed, but people with lower-end systems will also still be able to run the game at higher resolutions due to the improvements in upscaling and world generation. Ove...

While playing as a survivor is tense and filled with spikes of adrenaline, playing as the killer is intoxicating. Even in the multiplayer lobbies, you have the distinct advantage: as a survivor, you’ll spend time in the lobbies together standing idly and choosing passive perks like additional fog to make it harder for the killer to see you; as the killer, you stand out of the survivors’ view, watching. You study them, getting to see what each survivor looks like and exactly which perks they’re b...

For fans of the X-Men Animated Series from the 90s, there are few X heroes that are more iconic than Jubilee. This is partly because the show's events are often shown from her perspective, including the first episode, which tells the story of how she came to join the team. In the comics, Jubilee has gone from being a teenaged troublemaker to one of the X-Men's most reliable teammates, as well as the mother of Shogo, a baby who can transform into a dragon while in Avalon. In Fortnite , her iconic...

On top of the usual grassy forest biome, Chapter 3's island contains an archipelago that seems to be the living space of the Seven. Featuring a gigantic statue of the Rock's Foundation, this archipelago has a series of islands littered with vaults and bunkers the player can open with a friend. These vaults contain some great loot, as well as a porta potty teleporter, first featured in Chapter 2. Fortnite also features Spider-Man's Daily Bugle as a brand new location that has been added to the ma...

For CPU processing, Unreal Engine 5 now lets developers create games that can take advantage of up to 64 cores. More processing power usually equates to higher frame rates, but not significantly so for Fortnite specifically. This change will not be worth it for all but the most dedicated players due to the prohibitive price of CPU cores, but it is worth mentioning as it still lets Fortnite and all Chapter 3's new updates run at even higher performance when working in creative m Another new ...

The great DPS of the Enhanced Twinfire Auto Shotgun benefits those who want a weapon for close-quarter fights while staying agile, and the enhancement to reload speed will help players recuperate lost shots, but it might be a tad inconsistent due to its spr Fortnite 's Chapter 3 spared no expense when it came to new mechanics. From sliding to swinging like Spider-Man, the game feels fresh. Starting with sliding, mobility feels so much better than it had previously, with scaling down cliffs ...

The third title in the single-player RPG is perhaps the longest-developed game of all time, leaving fans waiting for over a decade. Mother 3 takes place on Nowhere Island, an undetermined amount of time after the events of the previous game, Mother 2 . Lucas, Claus, and their mother Hinawa are preparing to journey home before the evil Pigmask Army strikes, bombing Tazmil Village and eventually taking it o Check your calendar, because Comic-Con 2011 will soon be upon us. With over 70 differe...

The biggest boon from Unreal Engine 5 is most likely all development-focused, but it allows for game designers to create ideas like Fortnite 's new smooth Marvel-esque web-slinging more efficiently, leading to better experiences. Already, the new map for Fortnite: Chapter 3 seems to be taking advantage of many of the higher-quality resolutions and open-world possibilities. The game's consistent update strategy and integration of popular IPs require a quick turnover time. The new engine could all...

Once you’ve fixed all the generators, you can escape via one of two doors, each of which takes a bit of time to open — during which, of course, the killer will be making one final mad dash to kill you. At some point if you play Dead by Daylight, you’re going to be faced with an open escape door and a fellow survivor in need of help behind you, and which you choose is going to reveal a lot to me about your character. During my turn as a survivor, producer Matheiu Côté encouraged me to stick cl...

In the PS5 tech demos, Unreal Engine 5 has a unique way of generating worlds that’s different from other engines - most of the time, when games load maps, they have to load a full section to a user’s RAM and then process where the character is on that map to render their surroundings. This can cause pop-in and generally make load times slower as the system has to keep the world loaded but also delete it entirely when moving to a different section of the level. The new world partition system now ...
