Before Modern Warfare 4’s official hands-on gameplay premiere yesterday, Infinity Ward had to clear the air regarding visual recoil. Effectively, it’s aware of the concerns it’s buck wild, and will be monitoring feedback during the beta before launch. So what I wasn’t expecting soon after was to get blinded by a severe case of muzzle

Instead, as is seemingly Rockstar’s approach, it’s better to start
We are, as a people, awash in old operating system simulators. The Roottrees Are Dead, Hack ’95, Pipes.exe—something deep inside us yearns for the old ways. We remember, hazily, as though glimpsed through fog, a time when booting up the PC yielded an ethereal Brian Eno startup noise and a world of possibility, rather than

Every publisher and developer has been trying to avoid the black hole that is Grand Theft Auto 6—easier said than done, given that Rockstar has shifted the GTA 6 release date several times now just to bait the entire industry. Even Call of Duty is giving it a wide berth, with Modern Warfare 4 opting
