Just Cause 4’s Army of Chaos: Strikes – IGN First
Just Cause 4 might still be about freeing an oppressed country through the medium of explosions, but exactly how you're freeing it has changed since the last game. Welcome to the Army of Chaos.
In this miniseries, we'll be running through the game's new systems for taking back regions across the nation of Solís, how you'll do that (spoiler, there's are lots of loud noises), and what you'll get in return.
This week, we get into Strikes, the missions you'll need to complete to get on with the lovely business of liberating an oppressed nation.

Looking Glass Was ‘Game Development Grad School’ Says BioShock Developer
Looking Glass Studios is responsible for some of gaming’s most influential series ever, including System Shock, Thief, and Ultima Underworld. Since its heyday, many of its former employees have gone on to create even more classic games that draw clear inspiration from those groundbreaking worlds, like Dishonored and BioShock. For Joe Fielder, it was practically like going to grad school for the rest of his career.
“Looking Glass, you know a lot of those folks were former MIT,” Fielder said on this month’s episode of IGN Unfiltered. “They brought a lot of intellect and logic to making immersive sims. It ends up that making games based on logical simulations, having a strong logic background really helps. For all those folks, and working with

10 Big Changes from Pokemon Yellow to Pokemon: Let’s Go
It’s been 20 years since the launch of Pokemon Yellow in Japan, and in that time the creature-collecting franchise has evolved quite a bit. Pokemon: Let’s Go, Pikachu and Let’s Go, Eevee revisit the enhanced, Pikachu-focused take on Pokemon Red and Blue, and while Game Freak’s remake is largely faithful to the Game Boy classic, not everything's the same.
Here are 10 big changes from Pokemon Yellow to Pokemon: Let’s Go.
Pokemon Go Park
Much of Kanto in Let’s Go is a spruced up version of what you remember from Pokemon Yellow, but fans will spot several changes to the overworld—some big and others small. Most noteworthy is the Safari Zone north of Fuchsia City, which is no longer an explorable area where you can capture Pokemon. In Let’s Go, it’s essentially an entryway to Pokemon Go Park, an entirely new area where you can import your creatures from Pokemon Go.
Assassin’s Creed Wine Collection Features a Bottle for Each Assassin’s Region
Ubisoft and winemaker Lot18 have announced that they will be producing a limited-edition collection of wine based on the main characters and locations of various Assassin's Creed titles.
Each bottle will have a specially designed label that features one of six assassins - Assassin's Creed II's Ezio Auditore, Assassin's Creed Origins' Bayek of Siwa, Assassin's Creed's Altaïr Ibn-La'ahad, Assassin's Creed Unity's Arno Dorian, Assassin's Creed III: Liberation' Aveline de Grandpré, and Assassin's Creed III's Connor.

I'm stoked to jump back into Kanto and check out the change in catching wild Pokemon. Won't you join me?

Sunset Overdrive Officially Coming to PC
The rumors, leaks, and ratings board updates were all true: Sunset Overdrive is officially coming to PC tomorrow.
Insomniac Games made the announcement on Twitter today, releasing a trailer confirming the previously Xbox One-exclusive Sunset Overdrive is heading to Windows 10.
It's been a long road for Insomniac to get to this point, with Sunset Overdrive originally releasing in 2014 as one of the Xbox One's tentpole exclusives. But talk of a PC port started more than two years ago.
In 2016, Insomniac said that it would "love" to bring Sunset Overdrive to PC but admitted that it would need approval from publisher Microsoft. Last year, Insomniac CEO Ted Price indicated that he'd like to make a Sunset Overdrive 2 and bring that to multiple platforms, but he said his studio would need a publisher to make it happen.
Batkid Remains Cancer-Free After Five Years
Batkid, aka Miles Scott, remains cancer-free five years after battling both leukemia and the villains of Gotham City.
As reported by the San Francisco Chronicle, Miles was granted a wish by the Make-a-Wish Foundation in 2013 to become Batman, effectively turning San Francisco into Gotham City for a day with the help of 12,000 volunteers.
Miles cruised around the city in a Lamborghini that was made to look like the Batmobile, answered a call from the police commissioner, and faced down the Riddler and Penguin, ultimately being awarded the key to the city. According to the foundation, Miles received his last treatment just before becoming Batkid.
