Published

on

Xbox has revealed that it will at long last add Discord voice chat compatibility to its Series X/S and One gaming consoles. The update has been released to Xbox Insiders since today, July 20, and it will be made accessible to the general public in the upcoming weeks.

Coming In Hot

The upgrade will be released to Xbox Insiders today, and the rest of the public will be able to access it in the upcoming weeks, claims a press release. With the update, users will be able to interact with other players on PCs and mobile devices using Discord’s audio chat feature.

Room for Improvement

The FAQ part of the Insider website states that the Xbox Insider Program is free to join and allows passionate Xbox fans the opportunity to give us feedback on the latest Xbox system updates, as well as features and games still in development,”

While this is definitely something new for the console, it could mean huge and better things to come. The console platform could use a little work along the edges with this one, but it’s sure they are to work something out and eventually make things much better and even up to speed with their competitors.

Team Rocket Disband in the Pokémon Anime

Published

on

Without Ash and Pikachu to blast them away, we assume it wouldn’t make sense for Team Rocket to continue moving forward. But for devoted followers, Team Rocket’s Pokémon farewell makes the loss of an era much more palpable. Pokémon is wrapping up its three most recognizable villains in popular culture, Jessie, James, and Meowth, as it gears up for the last episodes featuring Ash as the main character. And to make matters worse, Team Rocket appears to have been permanently dissolved by the anime.

After So Long

Friends, Pokémon, and enemies come to say goodbye to Ash in Pokémon Ultimate Journeys: The Series. Team Rocket had to participate in the farewell, of course. After all, they have been attempting to capture Pikachu for 25 years. Team Rocket made one more attempt to grab Pikachu from Ash in what appeared to be their final episode, and they took many of their former Pokémon with them to the battle. Though some were quick to see that not everyone was included.

The Lovable Villains

Clearly, despite having 25 years of experience, they were unsuccessful. For what appeared to be the last time, Team Rocket had blasted off of Pokémon. Yet in a startling turn of events, the trio decides it’s time to split ways. We weren’t expecting them to pursue Pikachu until the sun went down, but maybe we were at one point. It’s definitely sad to think that Team Rocket has split apart. And ideally they reconnect in the show’s final few episodes, even if it’s just in a quick montage.

There is little doubt that Pokémon is being brutally honest with its devotees. The show is aware that the conclusion must be significant, which includes all of the emotions. But, Team Rocket’s retirement raises concerns about the future as well. The three main villains might have been a wonderful bridge between chapters of Pokémon. Yet, it appears that a whole new threat will be faced by Liko and Roy. In addition, whoever the next Pokémon villain is is going to have a lot of work ahead of them if they want to live up to Team Rocket. Let’s hope the future of the Pokémon anime shines bright just as it has always been,

Pokémon Crystal is Still the Best Game in the Franchise

Published

By

When you ask someone what their favorite Pokémon game is, they always give you such radically varied answers.

The reign of Johto

Some will stand behind Black and White and risk their lives to defend them, while some can look past Red and Blue’s evident flaws and applaud the series’ history.

Really, there is no correct response; it all depends on personal preference. Despite this, I will contend that the second Pokémon generation was the most ambitious ever, with Pokémon Crystal in particular continuing to be hailed as a true masterpiece.

People are still pleading for a similar game 22 years after it was released. That conveys a lot.

The pinnacle of Johto was—and still is—Pokémon Crystal. You’d think that Game Freak would be at a loss for how to enhance the experience further after creating two arguably ideal sequels to Red, Blue, and Yellow (those being Gold and Silver), but this wasn’t the case at all.

It’s simple to forget that this was the first game in the series to introduce animated sprites for Pokémon as they engaged in combat. While this might seem like a simple addition (and one that’s been upgraded significantly since), these animations added so much extra character to the region’s species.

Suicune, the best Water-type legendary Pokémon we’ve ever had, played a considerably larger role in the plot than it did in Gold and Silver, and the Ruins of Alph were also expanded to contain additional Unown puzzles and juicy, juicy backstory. These changes are evident in the box cover for the game.

Despite this, the opportunity to select a female character to play as may have been the biggest shift of all, and it happened immediately at the start of the game.

Prior to that, there were only male characters available for players to choose from, and while Red and Ethan were both cool, it was extremely restrictive for all the female Pokémon enthusiasts who were forced to play as men on what was supposed to be their very own adventure.

50 Cent Starts Development on a “Vice City” TV Series

Published

on

Making sense of his latest GTA hint, a Vice City TV series that will star legendary rapper 50 Cent is currently in development. It was rumored that rapper 50 Cent might appear in the next Grand Theft Auto 6 when he released a large GTA: Vice City teaser at the beginning of March.

Some Huge Names

Fans also questioned whether the release date for GTA 6 would be revealed soon in light of the rumors. As it turns out, GTA 6 was not the subject of 50 Cent’s tease. Really, everything was done for a Vice City TV series. According to an exclusive story from Deadline, the Vice City television series, as it is currently known, will be produced by Lionsgate Television and streamed on Paramount+. Darnel Metayer and Josh Peters, who serve as writers and executive producers, are the minds behind the Vice City television series. Chad Stahelski will also serve as the film’s executive producer and director.

A Possible Plot

Moreover, Alex Young and Jason Spitz from 87 Eleven will be participating as well as 50 Cent’s production business G-Unit Film & Television. Three former friends and soldiers, who “return to their home city of Miami in the mid-80s after being dishonorably discharged from the military for their involvement in the Iran Contra scandal,” will be the focus of the Vice City television series, according to Deadline.

It therefore appears that it won’t be following the plot of 2002’s GTA: Vice City. The first trailer will reveal whether it will adhere to the tone of the cherished Rockstar Games classic, but we won’t know for sure until then. Hopefully they would listen to their fans and stay true to the game’s story and do their fans a huge favor!
