Don't Play Halo: Campaign Evolved on Steam Deck or Xbox Ally

Image
Halo: Campaign Evolved is basically already here if you pay the early access tax, and while it does look incredible on high-end gaming PCs and current-generation consoles, it struggles hard on lower-end hardware, particularly handheld gaming PCs. I spent a little bit of time playing the remake on the Xbox Ally, and, well, the original Halo campaign looks a whole lot better in the Master Chief Collection . It shouldn't be too surprising that Campaign Evolved doesn't run super well on low-end handhelds like the Steam Deck . The game calls for a minimum of an Intel Core i7-10700K and an Nvidia GeForce RTX 2060 Super , both of which are more powerful than the equivalents found in the base Xbox Ally and the Steam Deck. But, for some reason, the Steam page for the game says the game is Steam Deck Verified. In order to run the game on the Xbox Ally, I set the resolution to 1280x720 and set it to the Very Low preset, with FSR set to Low. With those settings, I'm getting a pretty...

Halo: Campaign Evolved Secret Ending Cutscene Suggests a Halo 2 Remake Is on the Way

Image
Halo Studios seems to have teased a Halo 2 remake in a secret ending cutscene for Halo: Campaign Evolved . Microsoft's Halo 1 remake is finally out in the wild for those who gained early access by purchasing its Premium or Collector's Editions. Just one day removed from its early launch, that means many have already blown through the game multiple times, and some have even discovered a tease for a Halo 2 remake. Those who manage to beat Halo: Campaign Evolved on Legendary difficulty will be greeted with a new secret cutscene featuring none other than Sergeant Johnson (via ComicBook ). Beginning by showing him watching a clip from the original secret ending, Johnson ditches the Elite to kick up his feat on the beach. Just after catching an explosion on the ring, he makes his exit, but not before dropping that tease: "See you in the sequel." As if that wasn't already enough, another post-credits tease offers even more evidence to suggest a Halo 2 remake is in the c...

League of Legends Riftbound TCG: First Impressions of the Vendetta Booster Set | IGN Preview

Image
The wait is finally over for Riftbound’s Vendetta booster set, as its release is now just around the corner. This will be the League of Legends TCG’s fourth big drop with pre-release events at local stores starting July 24th with the global release on July 31st. That’s right! With the game having about a year under its belt now, fans finally have a synced-up release with both English and Chinese languages for the first time. Not only is this great for the meta, but players will also have some new deck combinations to mess around with as the set introduces new legends with opposing colors or domains and, of course, new mechanics like Flow to give some extra options out of hand. Not to mention, some overnumbered cards are getting a sleek take on rivalries, with diptychs or cards that can be displayed side-by-side to show a full art piece. From what I’ve seen so far, Vendetta is looking to be a fun set as players get deep into deck brewing with what could be one of the freshest meta for t...

Nintendo Switch Sports Resort Hands-On Preview: Wuhu Island Is Back, Baby

Image
In the summer of 2009, I took a vacation to Wuhu Island. I spent the days swordfighting in its arena, wakeboarding around its shores, playing frisbee on its beaches, and refining my archery skills deep within its central volcano. It was a great summer spent playing Wii Sports Resort, the followup to the original cultural phenomenon and the game that introduced us to the new and improved Wii Motion Plus accessory (that would later be built into the Wii Remote itself). It was fun to play with family and friends, but I was always most intrigued by the setting itself. Wuhu Island was a paradise; a theme park disguised as a tropical resort constructed entirely around sports and the spirit of competition. I loved whenever I got to return to Wuhu Island in later Nintendo games. It appeared as the main setting of Pilotwings Resort on the 3DS’s launch day, a trio of tracks in Mario Kart 7, and a stage in Super Smash Bros. There was a time when Wuhu Island was planned for so many Nintendo games ...

The first DLC character for the upcoming 4v4 tag team fighting game is Phoenix Cyclops, voiced by Ray Chase. Chase voices Cyclops in Disney+ show X-Men '97 and hero shooter Marvel Rivals.

Phoenix Cyclops is due out fall 2026 as the first of four DLC characters and one new stage coming during the game's first year.
