The Razer Kraken Tournament Edition Headset goes above and beyond to fill that need. The headset is the first gaming headset to introduce THX Spatial Audio, which aims to increase players’ in-game awareness to have the upper hand on the playing field. With the Kraken, you’d have to try pretty darn hard to ignore the in-game surrounding environment. Approaching enemy footsteps come through clear as day. The audio control device that can be attached to the headset allows players to adjust game and chat audio on the fly, while also controlling the bass and THX spatial audio tog

Caustic is one of if not the oldest competitor in the Apex Games. At the ripe old age of 48, he’s not a spring chicken. Due to his age, he’s a slower more lumbering character who falls on the aide of his gas canisters to give him the advant

One added benefit of a coordinated push in this manner is that it makes it harder for opponents to shoot the pushing player’s team. When players are close to the side of a mountain or platform means the enemy often has to look straight down to shoot, making it tough for them to line up the perfect shot and requiring them to stand right on the edge to get a good line of sight. The pushing team can use this to their own advantage to laser a player trying to line up their downward-facing s

In most FPS games — and in battle royale-style games in particular — players who have the high ground have serious advantages. High ground positioning makes it easier to spot enemies, to block their shots using the jutting edge of the terrain and to more easily get headshots against oppone

In translating the core gameplay to new platforms, Côté describes some of the considerations needed both for the Switch and upcoming mobile version of the game. For Nintendo, «the biggest thing with the Switch is obviously that visually it had to be accommodated and optimized a little bit compared to what we have on high end PCs…However, playing it in handheld, I think there is something kinetic about it, literally you’re so crunched into it, to me it’s a very different experience, I like that. I try to play at least a few games per day, especially on a new platform so I know what the hell I’m talking abo

Until recently, Dead by Daylight was a game played only on PC , PlayStation 4 , and Xbox One , but now players have new ways to play. The Nintendo Switch port of the game offers a different experience altogether, putting the action in your hands, and the mobile version of the game is in early beta and not available in North America, although that has not stopped this writer from having it on his ph

JB Blanc is the man who brought the gaseous scientist to life in Apex Legends . Along with playing the role of Caustic in Apex Legends Blanc has appeared in several other notable projects. Some of the standouts include the portrayal of Kano in Mortal Kombat 11 and a recurring role on AMC’s Better Call S

The skin is called Prince of Darkness and turns the mad scientist into a mad king. It gives Caustic some nice armor inspired by high-fantasy and manages to incorporate his gas mask in a way that doesn’t detract from the rest of the design. The skin also features a skull on both the chest and b

When Apex Legends first came out, many agreed Pathfinder was one of the worst characters. While hit box issues were part of the problem, there was also a sense that his abilities didn’t match up to damage-dealing ultimates like Bangalore’s or enhanced health and shield protection like Lifel

Right on track, Behavior Interactive has released the teaser for Chapter 14 of Dead by Daylight , titled «Cursed Legacy». Speculation is wild right now about who the next killer will be in the game, while no information has been released on if a survivor will also be coming, and what they might look like. We sat down with PS5 Game tips director Mathieu Côté to discuss the future of Dead By Daylight , including challenges of creating the Nintendo Switch and mobile ports, the future roadmap, and the future of cross-p

If the details above weren’t enough to convince you how great Razer’s latest suite of gaming accessories is, we have one more thing up our sleeve, and it’s one that pretty much every gamer cares about: customizable RGB lights. Players can customize their Viper and Huntsman with the most simple or elaborate light show that they can design. I’ve barely scratched the surface of what’s possible in Razer Synapse 3, and that’s only because the factory presets are already incredible. During my playthrough of _ Astellia Online _ , my Huntsman worked in sync with the game, illuminating the most important keys, while even changing colors of the keys based on whether or not a spell was on a cool-down. It was something I’ve only experienced with on-screen notifications, so having the light up notifications available literally at my fingertips was (and continues to be) an absolute game-chan
