It takes work, excellent execution and plenty of luck to carve a niche in an established genre. For every “League of Legends” that blows up into a video game powerhouse, there’s a “Dawngate” that never quite gets off the ground.With “Exoprimal,” Capcom is hoping to attract fans that enjoy games such as “Overwatch,” but don’t exactly love the hypercompetitive aspects. It’s for players who enjoy teamwork and collaboration, but who don’t want to do it in a head-to-head situation, where teammates scream at each other or bicker over perceived slights and disagreements.BRING THE FLOOD OF DINOSCapcom solves this with dinosaurs. Lots and lots of dinosaurs. The developer throws so many terrible lizards at players they seem like a roiling, churning tide of teeth and fangs. Thankfully, players aren’t fighting these creatures with regular machine guns and conventional weapons. They don powerful exosuits that make them...

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 10:36:56 GMT

By Katelyn Polantz and Shawna Mizelle | CNNRudy Giuliani concedes he made defamatory statements about Georgia election workers Ruby Freeman and Shaye Moss in an effort to resolve their lawsuit against him and to satisfy a judge who has considered sanctioning him.The late-night Tuesday filing from Giuliani says he doesn’t contest Moss and Freeman’s accusations that he smeared them after the 2020 election. Yet the filing says he still wants to be able to argue that his statements about voter fraud in Georgia in the 2020 election were protected speech. Notably, he also refuses to concede that his statements caused damages to Moss or Freeman.The new filing doesn’t immediately resolve the case against Giuliani, which had taken a thorny turn for the former prosecutor and New York City mayor after a judge cautioned him earlier this month that he could lose the lawsuit or face severe sanctions for not gathering his own records in a thorough way and turning them over to Moss and Freeman’s te...
