Dr DisRespect finally made his return to Twitch.tv today, and in the process managed to take the platform down. The streamer, whose real name is Guy Beahm, is one of the most popular around, and his caustic personality has gelled well with Twitch users. He's the (self-proclaimed) "face of Twitch" after all! The former video game developer has managed to pull in huge numbers with his PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds streams, leading to the doctor becoming one of the biggest Twitch celebrities and winner of two awards for it last y
It's no coincidence that some of the biggest names end up getting nominated for these prestigious awards. Last year, Blizzard's still wildly popular shooter Overwatch took home four awards including 2016's Game of the Year. Other big games from last year's event include Uncharted 4: A Thief's End , Pokemon GO , DOOM , Forza Horizon 3 , and Battlefield 1 . With the majority of 2018 still to come, it'll be interesting to see which games end up standing out from other titles and score nominations for next year's s
In addition to Zelda , many other 2017 games had great nights at the award event as well. Horizon Zero Dawn , the most nominated game at the awards with 10, walked away at the end of the night with multiple wins including Outstanding Technical Achievement and Outstanding Achievement in Story. Cuphead was another big winner during the ceremony, taking home three awards for Outstanding Achievement in Original Music Composition, Outstanding Achievement in Art Direction and Outstanding Achievement in Animat
How did this happen? Surely, you took note of the mini-map that showed your icon embedded within the red transparent circle, and heeded the warning of the on-screen notification stating the red zone would be starting soon. Obviously, you took note of the "Warning! Red zone has started!" message, and took shelter within the nearest building. No? You didn’t try to avoid the red zone at all? It may be time to rethink your strategy; a sentiment shared by Playerunknown’s Battlegrounds lead designer and director, Brendan Gre
Nominated for six different awards, The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild cleaned up at the annual DICE Awards in Las Vegas, scoring four wins in some major categories. In addition to Outstanding Achievement In Game Direction, Outstanding Achievement in Game Design and Adventure Game of the Year, Breath of the Wild took home the coveted award for Game of the Year, beating out some tough competition in Cuphead , Horizon Zero Dawn , PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds , and fellow Switch title Super Mario Odyss
Now, that date has arrived, but Dr DisRespect's revival had something of a bumpy start. His stream was due to start at 2 p.m. ET, and very quickly picked up 350,000 concurrent users, but not before the entire site was plagued by a series of technical issues that even managed to break the front page. The streamer then stated that he had broken Twitch over on his Twitter account, although eventually things did get back to normal on the platf
After losing its way with the Wii U, Nintendo has once again caught lightning in a bottle with its latest innovation in the Nintendo Switch. The console's strong start was helped in many ways by the outstanding Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild , a game which took the familiar franchise formula and turned it on its head to craft something truly unique. It appears that the 30,000 members of the Academy of Interactive Arts & Sciences are also pretty fond of the Switch as a number of exclusive games won big at the 21 st Annual D.I.C.E. Awards last ni
Greene continued to state that although the red zone serves a purpose, the decision on whether or not to remove it from the game – as with all other in-game features – will ultimately come down to the collaborative efforts between the community and the development t
PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds can be tough, but its also incredibly tense and absorbing. That's one of the reasons the game is the third bestselling title ever on Steam - and one of the top 10 bestselling games period. The success of PUBG Money guide doesn't seem to be slowing down anytime soon either, and after seasoned players exhausted the original map, a second titled Miramar was added recently to keep things fr
This smaller map is apparently an effort by developers to make PUBG faster paced. The game's attempt at world domination stepped up a notch recently with the release of PUBG Mobile for iOS and Android. While the graphical quality and controls obviously took something of a hit, the game runs surprisingly well on mobile and drawn yet more players into PlayerUnknown's Battleground web. The game also proved to be a big hit on Xbox One despite numerous gameplay issues and player complai
It's not the only time that Twitch has faced difficulties when demands are made by a high number of users. Last August, Twitch had some major outages , with the service stuck down for several hours with only intermittent access. As the site grows larger and larger, no doubt the service will aim to stop these issues from cropping up again, particularly when dates that are likely to put a major strain on the service can be easily identif
