Katsuhiro Harada, the project leader for Tekken 7, said as per a report by GameSpot.

Bad news for everyone trying to cheat on their way to Pokemon hunting stardom! Niantic has gone strict with its law enforcement policies, permanently banning Pokemon GO accounts that are suspected of the following, but not limited to: "falsifying their location, using emulators, modified or unofficial software and/or accessing Pokémon GO clients or backends in an unauthorized manner, including through the use of third party software." In other words, if you want to cheat, you're going to have a harder time than ever! Still, there's always the possibility to appeal a terminated account through the game's support page. Niantic insists it's resorting to extreme measures in order to "provide a fair, fun, and legitimate game experience for everyone." We'll have to take their word for that, lest Pokemon GO turned into your local Counter-Strike server, where everyone and their grandmother is on h4x of some kind. Recently, Niantic was spotted beta-tes...

NEW YORK, UNITED STATES: A Michigan man with a warrant for his arrest has been taken into custody after showing up at a Detroit-area police station while playing the "Pokemon Go" game. The Detroit News reports that Milford police say the 26-year-old, who was wearing pajama pants, rode a bike to the Milford station on Thursday. Police Chief Tom Lindberg says officers recognized him because they've had contact with him in previous years. He was booked on a warrant for missing a court date and released. The newspaper says he was originally charged with breaking and entering. The location-aware smartphone game gives digital incentives like "Pokeballs" as rewards for visiting real places, known as "Pokestops" and "Gyms." According to Milford police, the station is the site of a "Gym" as part of the game.

It's no surprise that Pokemon Go has taken the world by storm even though it is only available officially in three countries. According to analytics firm SimilarWeb, the game has found itself on more devices than some of the most popular apps around. "On July 8th, only 2 days after the app's release, it was already installed on 5.16 percent of all Android devices in the US. If that doesn't seem like much, consider that by Thursday, July 7th, Pokemon Go was already installed on more US Android phones than Tinder," a post from the company claims. Furthermore, the user engagement on Pokemon Go has been extremely high as well. "Over 60 percent of those who have downloaded the app in the US are using it daily, meaning around 3 percent of the entire US Android population are users of the app," the company's post continues. It's reaching a point where it could rival the likes of Twitter. So much so that SimilarWeb believes that Pokemon Go is "ne...

Some Pokemon Go players ended up caught by armed robbers in their quest to catch 'em all, according to a Missouri police department. The augmented-reality game, which was released last week to so much fanfare that its servers were regularly overloaded, allows players to catch digital critters via a smartphone app by exploring real-world locations. But some criminals - no doubt fans of the villainous Team Rocket - appear to have used the game's mechanics for evil: In a Facebook post Sunday, police in O'Fallon, Missouri, said four people used the app to target victims in armed robberies in the St. Louis area in recent days. "It is believed these suspects targeted their victims through the Pokemon Go smart phone application," according to the social media post. Specifically, the robbers appear to have watched the game's map for a particular player-triggered feature that attracts Pokemon to a specific location for a limited time - to figure out when potential v...

While Pokemon Go is officially available in Australia, New Zealand, and the US, it's yet to make its way to other nations such as India and Japan. This has resulted in a slew of fans the world over to sideload the game. Well, at least on Android. The impact of these players, in addition to those in countries where Pokemon Go is available, is that the game has been uplayable for a vast number of people due to its servers unable to deal with the load. So much so that developer Niantic who made Pokemon Go along with Nintendo and The Pokemon Company is delaying its release in other markets till this is fixed. "We thought the game would be popular, but it obviously struck a nerve," Niantic CEO John Hanke saidto Business Insider, stating that the launch in other countries has been "paused until we're comfortable". Despite the rabid interest the franchise has generated over the years, something Niantic is aware of, it has been caught by surprise. Earlier this we...

We have to ask how you’ll fare this weekend, the first full weekend of availability for Niantic Labs’ Pokémon Go! Prepared for long days walking from one side of the city to the other? Or are you memeing it up, pointing and laughing at the people who end up crossing town to catch that Flareon? Maybe you’re just sticking your fingers in your ears at this point. Whatever the case, if you even have the slightest interest in downloading Pokémon Go, make sure you get the .APK from a safe place, especially if your country hasn’t seen the release yet. Yep, we’re talking about yousideloaders out there. ProofPoint Research has found a modified version of the APK floating around in a third-party file server sometime yesterday containing DroidJack, a remote access tool (that’s Meowt-I mean, RAT to you) that gives hackers an easy door into your file system. So, what do? An easy way to make sure you’re getting the goods is to check the SHA256 hash on the .apk (again, if you’re sideloading this p...

Microsoft has confirmed that any game developed by its own studios going forward will work with itsXbox Play Anywhere program. "Every new title published from Microsoft Studios will support Xbox Play Anywhere and will be easily accessible in the Windows Store," a post from the company detailing its Windows 10 Anniversary Update plans reads. What this means is, you can expect the next mainline entry in the Halo series to be on PC as well as the Xbox One. When Microsoft first entered console gaming back in 2001, it launched the original Xbox with Halo: Combat Evolved. Two years later, the game made it to PC and Mac OS X. Similar treatment was meted out for Halo 2, hitting the original Xbox in 2004 but only arriving on PC in 2007. While the likes of Gears of War and Forza have already made the jump to PC, Halo is perceived as the biggest exclusive and one of the reasons to own Xbox hardware. It's a massive indication that Microsoft is more interested in prioritising games o...

PC release notwithstanding, Batman Arkham Knight was a solid entry in the franchise. And it seems that it's getting the inevitable game of the year re-release treatment. According to Australian retailer Ozgameshop.com, you should be able to purchase Batman: Arkham Knight Game Of The Year Edition next month, July 29 to be precise. While the date seems off what with Batman: Return to Arkham due a mere three days prior, the box art does not. Therefore, you can expect the Batman: Arkham Knight Game Of The Year Edition later in the year. And while the listing is short on details, you can expect it to come with all the downloadable content that the game eventually had. Or at least most of it, given that some was exclusive to specific retailers at the time. The price is a point of interest as well, at AUD 53.99 (approximately Rs. 2,680), you can expect it to be priced between Rs. 2,499 and Rs. 2,999 in India, which is pretty fair given the wealth of content on hand. Considering that ...

With Sony yet to official announce when you can expect the PS4 Neo or PS4K as it is also known as, that hasn't stopped the company from allaying fears on the current PS4's life-cycle. In conversation with Gameswelt TV, Shuhei Yoshida, President of Sony Computer Entertainment Worldwide Studios insisted that your PS4 will not be obsolete in when its beefier iterative variant hits the shelves. "PS4 is PS4 new high-end PS4 is still PS4 so you know the life-cycle is not going to be shorter," Yoshida said. This should come as a relief for many an existing PS4 owner and those looking to buy it what with Sony having a wealth of bundles available. It's also a smart move considering over 40 million PS4s have been sold, the last thing Sony want to do is anger existing users. You can check out the rest of the video below: Furthermore, ensuring that the PS4's life-cycle remains intact corroborates Giantbomb's report that from October every PS4 game needs to have ...

One of the better Final Fantasy games in recent years, Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn has been on the PS3, PS4, and PC. For the longest time the developers at Square Enix have staid it never found its way to the Xbox One because Microsoft's infrastructure did not allow for cross-platform play which allows players from any platform to play together on the same servers. This however changed in March this year. "In addition to natively supporting cross-platform play between Xbox One and Windows 10 games that use Xbox Live, we're enabling developers to support cross-network play as well," wrote Chris Charla Director of ID@Xbox (Microsoft's indie game developer program) in a post announcing its Game Developers Conference plans. "This means players on Xbox One and Windows 10 using Xbox Live will be able to play with players on different online multiplayer networks - including other console and PC networks." With this in mind, it appears that in theory, the...

With last year's excellent Mortal Kombat X, developer NetherRealm Studios would most ostensibly work on its other franchise, Injustice that's based on fictional universe of DC Comics - popularly known for the likes of Batman, Flash, and Superman. After all, it would be the only explanation for game director Ed Boon dropping hints on what to expect from the studio next, what with changing his Twitter display picture to the number 2 as Roman numerals. And now, an image of Injustice 2's promotional material has hit the Internet. Safe to say if you were expecting Mortal Kombat 11 (as 2 in Roman numerals can be misconstrued as an 11) you're going to be sorely disappointed. The promotional shot shows Batman in some variant of armour that's either Kryptonite-infused or powered by the Green Lantern's ring squaring off against Flash. There's little else to go by and we won't be surprised to see a full reveal at E3 2016. Injustice: Gods Among Us graced the ...

After gaming blog Kotaku revealed that space survival game No Man's Sky would be delayed to July or August of this year and an employee at Canadian retailer EB Games postedmarketing materials proving it would be out earlier, developer Hello Games has finally laid any doubt on No Man's Sky's release date to rest. Studio Founder Sean Murray took to Sony's blog to confirm that the game is delayed and revealed when you can expect it to hit the shelves, both digital and physical. "After a short delay, No Man's Sky will launch in North America on August 9, in Europe August 10, and in the UK August 12," his post reads. The reason for the delay was to allow for extra time to fine tune some of the game's elements. "The game really has come together, and it's such an incredible relief. As we sit an play it now, and as I watch playtesters every day, I can finally let myself get excited. We're actually doing this," Murray writes. "However...

Much every big franchise, Batman's last generation adventures are getting a re-release on the PS4 and Xbox One as Batman: Return to Arkham. Publisher Warner Bros. confirmed this after many a leak.

Although Guile wasn't a part of Street Fighter V's initial roster, he had been announced during PlayStation Experience 2015 as part of the six characters that would be released as downloadable content for the game. He returns with his traditional weapons such as Sonic Boom and Somersault Kick. There is also a new one called Faultless Move that helps him keep his charge even while moving forward.

In June, owners of the Season Pass will get access to Star Wars Battlefront Bespin, which will introduce the world of Cloud City. Apart from four new maps for most game modes, you'll also see "more blasters" and a new game mode. On top of all that, the game will introduce two new characters in the form of Lando Calrissian and the bounty hunter, Dengar. Lando Calrissian, who was seen in The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi, was then an administrator of Cloud City.
