Camouflage prints on controllers are an oddly popular design choice, and if you’re a fan of this look, you can get a Scuf Instinct Pro controller sporting a unique black tiger color scheme for just $156 at Best Buy. This particular model released at Best Buy last November, so this is a massive $84 discount for a great Xbox wireless controller that regularly sells for $240. Admittedly, the list price is too high considering the Xbox Elite Series 2 costs $180, but the deal price makes it more reasonable. While it has all the usual features you’d expect from a wireless device, the Scuf Instinct Pro also has a few more tricks up its metaphorical sleeve to make it a tempting purchase for gamers looking for a more professional device.

During what could easily be considered the main event of San Diego Comic-Con, Marvel Studios announced that Robert Downey Jr., the actor who helped kick off the MCU as Tony Stark, will be returning to Marvel Cinematic Universe. The big twist, though, is that he will be returning not as Tony Stark, but as Victor von Doom, perhaps Marvel Comics’ single greatest villain. For a company who would rather reboot or memorialize a character than recast them, casting the same actor in two very prominent roles seems like a very strange move. And that’s why we think it’s possible that this is one big misdirect.. Robert Downey Jr. may be playing Victor von Doom, but what if he’s not playing the Victor von Doom.Of course, keep in mind that we don’t have any secret spies at Marvel Studios, a spe…

Some suggest the game can’t survive without the players coming from Xbox’s subscription service, and others, unaware of how Game Pass deals work, wonder why the game is leaving the service at all.

Prey and Redfall developer Arkane Austin became a casualty of a particularly brutal year of layoffs and studio closures, as one of four studios Microsoft closed down in May this year. Arkane founder Raphael Colantonio has said he was saddened by the closure–but he doesn’t think the studio’s unique brand of immersive sim is going anywhere.”It’s sad, of course,” Colantonio said in an interview with PC Gamer. “I wanted to see our game going forever, for obvious reasons. But the company is [gone], but not the people. The people survive.”The Arkane founder discussed the history of the company and the genre itself, pointing to Looking Glass Studios, which he described as “the originator of the immersive sim.” Despite shuttering in 2000, Looking Glass released a number of influential games inclu…

Deadpool & Wolverine has a lot of cameos, but the writers were not able to get every actor they wanted to come in to play a small role in the big film. Actor Robert Downey Jr. was originally eyed to come back to play Tony Stark/Iron Man in the film, while a grander idea was to bring in the entire Avengers squad, but it ultimately didn’t work out.

A new patch went live for Destiny 2 this week, and alongside the usual balance changes, a “generous” buff to the drop rate of Exotic class items had fans excited. According to Bungie, the chances for acquiring Exotic class items from chests found in the Overthrow activity have been adjusted. Higher-tiered chests were supposed to increase drop chances, but feedback from the Destiny 2 community has revealed that the drop rates have instead decreased significantly.Once players have completed the Dual Destiny Exotic mission for the first time, Exotic class items typically drop after around three Overthrow runs. Depending on the roll, these can be extremely powerful pieces of armor to equip if you build around them, but the two Exotic perks available on them are randomized, hence the grind to g…
