[ad_1] A massive war began in Eve Online in early July, pitting some of the game’s most powerful groups against one another. So far it’s been a slow burn, with multiple medium-sized engagements all over the spacefaring game’s southwestern sectors. On Sunday, the stakes rose considerably when a total of 8,825 players showed up for the single largest battle in the massively multiplayer game’s nearly 18-year history. When the smoke cleared, the faction known as Goonswarm was triumphant. But players tell Polygon that the war is far from over. World War Bee 2 is an all-out assault against Goonswarm, a…

[ad_1] It began with a dog and an onion. Sure, NanaOn-Sha’s PaRappa the Rapper wasn’t the first video game to demand players sync button presses to a basic beat via on-screen prompts. For instance, the early Bandai dance mat peripheral-based game Aerobics Studio – a primitive NES precursor to the likes of Konami’s Dance Dance Revolution – was first released in Japan in 1987 and handily pre-dates PaRappa.

[ad_1] As a part of this year’s all-digital New York Comic Con experience, Polygon had the chance to sit down with the masterminds behind Star Wars: The High Republic, to pick their brains about what comes next for the Star Wars universe. Previously teased as the mysterious Project Luminous, the new era of Star Wars storytelling is on its way in 2021.

[ad_1] Lucasfilm’s fresh new era of the Star Wars franchise, The High Republic, will give fans a peek into the galaxy before the prequels — some 200 years before the events of The Phantom Menace and the Skywalker Saga. It’s a very different time period for the Jedi, where the Force-wielding, lightsaber-spinning guardians of peace and justice serve as a kind of Knights of the Round Table for the galaxy. In a series of Star Wars: The High Republic books, ranging from young adult fare to comics to novels for a more mature audience, fans will be introduced to a…

Yes, we want to do this. It’s in the long list of cool things the xCloud team is…

[ad_1] Move over, Picard: it’s Janeway’s turn. In a surprising end-of-panel addition to his allotted hour during the first day of the 2020 NYCC Metaverse, Star Trek majordomo Alex Kurtzman, reporting from what looked like a guest bedroom, reflected back to the 2018 Star Trek Las Vegas convention. That was where Patrick Stewart gave heart attacks to fans with the stunning announcement that he’d be returning to the franchise with Star Trek: Picard. Though it all had to be done virtually, Kate Mulgrew appeared to do something similar. Captain Janeway (though maybe Admiral Janeway?) is back. At least in animated…

[ad_1] Xbox has taken a playful jab at PS5 after Sony revealed the process for switching its new console from a vertical to horizontal orientation.In a PS5 teardown, Sony’s Yasuhiro Ootori explained that to turn the console sideways a vertical stand needs to be unscrewed, with the screw then stored inside the stand, which is then clipped onto the side of the console. Xbox then responded on Twitter, showing a slightly more simple process for Xbox Series X – you just turn the console on its side: How to switch the Xbox Series X from vertical to horizontal pic.twitter.com/efnCoBPWTW —…
