Rocket League Dev on Cross-Network Play’s Importance
With the announcement of Rocket League coming to the Nintendo Switch, Psyonix has opened up more possibilities of cross-network play, a feature that, according to the company’s Vice President Jeremy Dunham, is key to the longevity of games across generations.
Speaking with IGN during an E3 2017 interview, Dunham discussed the developer’s focus on cross-platform play, which now allows Rocket League players to compete against others across Xbox One, PC, and Switch. PS4 players can currently play against PC players but not Xbox One, nor at this time Switch players when the game releases this holiday.
Diablo 3 Rise of the Necromancer Release Date Revealed
The Rise of the Necromancer expansion for Diablo III is coming digitally to Xbox One, PlayStation 4, and PC on June 27 for $15.

There is a lot of love out there for Hitman and with this offering we hope that many more will fall in love with the game. We believe that this is Hitman at its best.

Spider-Man Comics to Prepare You for the PS4 Game
There were many promising games on display at E3 this month, but for superhero fanatics, E3 was really just "Spider-Man Week." Sony offered a tantalizing new glimpse at Insomniac's upcoming Spider-Man game, one that will hopefully do for the wallcrawler what Arkham Asylum did for Batman.
Unlike most Spider-Man games of yesteryear, Insomniac's game isn't directly based on the comics, movies or other preexisting incarnation of the franchise. But the trailer does make it clear that the game is drawing inspiration from several key Spider-Man comics from the past couple decades. We've picked out six essential graphic novels you should check out if you want to educate yourself on the major players and conflicts in this game.
Project Rap Rabbit Kickstarter Fails, Development ‘Cannot Continue at This Time’
Last night, Project Rap Rabbit failed to meet its Kickstarter goal of £855.000, and production has been halted for now.
Project Rap Rabbit was an idea from the creators of classic rhythm games Parappa the Rapper and Gitaroo Man, however the Kickstarter only managed to raise £162,057 during the funding period.
The pitch was a good one, with the game apparently going to reward experimentation and self expression as you counter-rap your opponents.
