The Google Controller Pictures You’ve Seen Online Aren’t Real

Renders of the heavily rumoured Google Controller are just mock-ups based off of a patent filing.

It’s no secret that Google is working on something cloud gaming-related, and rumours abound that we'll see a reveal for a 'Netflix for Games'-type service at this year’s Game Developers Conference.

Perhaps as part of this, Google has filed a patent (via The Verge) for a system that notifies players when they get an invite or a game is ready to play through a controller.

DMC 5 Has A Scene That’s Seemingly Only Censored on Western PS4s

Eagle-eyed Devil May Cry 5 players have spotted that Trish’s bottom is censored exclusively on Western PS4s.

Devil May Cry 5 has been going down a storm but according to a report by VG247, some players have noticed a small inconsistency when it comes to nudity on the Western PS4 release.

If you or your workplace are offended by a) DMC5 spoilers or b) mentions of digital posteriors, turn back now.

DMC5 features boss enemies that quite literally possess classic characters from the series' past. After one such enemy gets pummelled by Dante, fan favourite Trish falls out of it bloodied and naked.

How Harry Potter: Wizards Unite Builds Off Pokemon Go

I’ve accepted that I’ll never go to Hogwarts. That letter must have gotten delivered to the wrong house, and even if it found its way to me, a 27-year-old jumping into a first-year Potions class might look a little silly. And yet I’ve craved for the wizarding world to seep into my muggle life.

Harry Potter: Wizards Unite, from the developers of Pokemon Go and set for a 2019 release, aims to do just that. It’s an experience not nearly as immediately sellable as Pokemon Go’s catch-and-collect loop, I loved the potential for this new AR adventure to deliver an engaging, daily dose of magic after spending an hour freeing hippogriffs and dueling dark wizards.

I’ll admit, before learning about Wizards Unite, I remained skeptical of how Niantic’s location-based gameplay could be adapted to a Harry Potter experience, much less one tapping into my fan fiction dreams of living in the wizarding world. But, Niantic and WB Games San Francisco’s initial hook is an interesting one — a great Calamity threatens to break the Statute of Secrecy that keeps the wizarding and muggle worlds separate. Objects, people, creatures, and even memories have been displaced from time and space, trapped and potentially about to break that world-separating seal en masse.

WWE Fastlane: All the Match Results

It's the final stop on the Road to WrestleMania - WWE Fastlane!

Tonight we'll find out if "The Man" Becky Lynch is going to join the Charlotte Flair/Ronda "Wrestling is Fake Now" Rousey match at 'Mania 35. We'll see if Kevin Owens, who now apparently hates bullies (and therefore...himself?) can swipe the WWE Championship from Daniel Bryan or will he fail and leave room for Kofi to challenge Bryan in April?

Can The Shield co-exist in this, their (maybe) last (probably) ride as a trio, or will Dean turn on Seth again? Or will Seth turn on is brothers again? Or will Roman turn heel for the first time? Or will they just win and make us all feel good for once in our miserable lives?
