    Wardogs Season 2 Adds a Gambling Mechanic That Lets You Bet on Yourself

    Wardogs Season 2 launches on October 15 and adds a gambling system that lets players bet on their own performance. The mechanic, called the Wager Vendor, lets players set conditions such as kill counts, with harder conditions raising the odds and paying out more or costing cash on failure. Developer Bulkhead's co-founder Howard Philpott said the feature will not be available immediately at launch, as players must build up cash to unlock it.

    Wardogs Season 2 adds a rain system that will noticeably change gameplay

    Wardogs developer Bulkhead detailed how rain will change gameplay in Season 2, which launches on October 15. Rain is not dynamic weather, so matches with rain have rainfall from start to finish, and senior producer Kane Allard told IGN it "completely changes the game," which some players may not like. Rain darkens the map and worsens visibility, thunder can mask gunfire and other loud noises, raindrops sound different on surfaces such as rooftops and helmets, windows fog up, and players inside are exposed to rain if a roof is destroyed. Bulkhead is not ruling out other weather effects but has to weigh how something like snow would affect gameplay and performance.

    Wardogs Dev Says PS6 and Xbox Project Helix Ports Should Be Relatively Straightforward

    Bulkhead co-founder Howard Philpott said bringing Wardogs to PS6 and Xbox Project Helix would be "a straight port," with senior producer Kane Allard adding the studio is already in talks with the platform holders. Wardogs is currently slated for a 2028 console release, while the PC version is in early access and Season 2 launches next week with features such as rain.

    Wardogs Dev Holding Back Certain Features Because of Xbox Series S, but Working to 'Very Low-End Hardware' Has Its Benefits

    Bulkhead, developer of Wardogs, has admitted that the Xbox Series S's limitations have kept certain features out of the game, with CEO Joe Brammer citing it as one reason the game lacks dynamic weather. The rain feature coming this month will persist throughout a match rather than rolling in and clearing mid-game. Co-founder Howard Philpott said Series S also gives the team a baseline that helps optimize performance for lower-spec PCs, and Wardogs Season 2 launches October 15.

    Wardogs Dev Explains Blue Team's Lower Win Rate, Details Season 2 Balance Changes

    Wardogs developer Bulkhead confirmed that the blue team, Lonestar, wins less often than the other teams and is addressing it in Season 2, launching next week. Co-founder Howard Philpott said Lonestar's win rate was about 10% in alpha and has risen to nearly 20% recently, but players still favor the red and green teams because of blue's poor reputation. Season 2 moves all three teams' spawns and rebuilds bases on the Bakurani map, adjusts Lonestar uniform saturation, adds cash and XP bonuses for playing and winning as Lonestar, and places recruitment posters in other teams' spawns. Wardogs Season 2 launches on October 15.

    This should be game streaming's moment. It's not | Opinion

    Xbox Chief Strategy Officer Matthew Ball debunked a report that GTA 6 streaming rights would be Xbox-exclusive, saying the game will not be streamed exclusively or to PC. With PS5 and Xbox Series X prices hiked and console shortages and scalper markups already reported more than a month before launch, GTA 6 should be a breakthrough moment for game streaming, but there is little interest. Microsoft recently placed strict caps on streaming usage for Game Pass subscribers, and the muted response showed how few consumers cared.

    Street Fighter 6 producer Shuhei Matsumoto and director Takayuki Nakayama said the Street Fighter IP could have died within 10 years if nothing changed, as the Street Fighter 5 player base was roughly 35 to 45 years old. The team developed Street Fighter 6 like a brand-new fighting game, adding the Modern Control scheme and World Tour mode and involving the fighting game community more closely, and it became a hit upon its 2023 release.

    EU consumer authorities launch coordinated action against 10 game companies over virtual currency practices

    European consumer protection authorities announced a series of coordinated actions against 10 video game companies, accusing them of dark patterns that put minors and players at risk of gaming addiction. The action, coordinated by the European Commission, focuses on practices such as premium in-game currencies that obscure real-world spending, selling virtual currency in set quantities that force overspending, and insufficient parental controls. The article cites Destiny 2's Silver bundles of 500, 1,000 and 1,500 units against item prices of 600 to 1,500 Silver, and notes Fortnite will let players buy the exact amount of V-Bucks they need starting October 14, a change also coming to Rocket League and Fall Guys but not PlayStation for now.
