Kenji Matsubara “will transition to an advisory role”. SNK’s CEO is to “transition” into an advisory role, it has been revealed. Former Sega president Kenji Matsubara has been in the position since 2021. His new role will allow him to “continue to lend his expertise and vision,” to the Japanese company, which has been owned…
In a recent episode of Hideo Kojima’s podcast KOJI10, the Metal Gear and Death Stranding creator discussed some of the game ideas he’s had relating to time. These should be taken with a pinch of salt, because Kojima’s always loved spieling about how certain concepts would work in videogames, but at least one was almost…
Check it out, guys: I think this Half-Life game is gonna be pretty big potatoes. You’re a mute scientist who starts shooting people at work and then you fight a large baby in space. Let’s just hope they don’t kill it with too many sequels. Sound like the kind of thing you’d like to play?…
Lately, on my many weary travels to Brum aboard the old iron horse (riddle that one), I’ve been partial to a little campfire and rainfall ambience in my ears to drown out the railway hum and loud commuters. But sometimes I’ve caught myself thinking, ‘Man, I really wish I could hang some giant buckets off…
Fast & Fusionous. One of the Switch 2 titles that we are most looking forward to is Fast Fusion, the latest high-octane racer from Shin’en Multimedia that will be speeding onto the new hardware on launch day. Like the previous entries in the ‘Fast’ series, this one already boasted more than a few F-Zero stylings,…
Whether you’re seeking adventure, mystery, or a good scare, May’s PlayStation Plus Catalog has got you covered. Explore a vast desert world filled with action in Sand Land, delve into the cyberpunk universe of Soul Hackers 2 or step into the eerie world of Five Nights at Freddy’s: Help Wanted… There’s plenty to choose from…
With so many roguelike deckbuilders out there, I appreciate when one stands out immediately—and there’s a lot that stands out in Shroom and Gloom, announced today by Devolver Digital. It’s in first-person perspective, for one, so you don’t see the typical view of your hero on the left side of the screen and bad guys…
A Dream(cast) collection. We love Capcom Fighting Collection 2! There, that’s the review done. Seriously though, this is a particularly strong lineup of actual arcade Bangers (yes, with a capital B), that doesn’t have anything approaching a full-on weak spot across a stellar roster of classic titles, so it’s not really a surprise, is it?…
“We, the game creators, were increasingly expected to listen to the sales team”. As the world of video games has expanded, we’ve seen changes in the way AAA games are conceptualised, designed, developed, marketed and sold—and one of the industry’s most famous game designers thinks we’ve got things back-to-front. Speaking to Time Extension in a…
Ah yes, the Zotac Zone—that somewhat boring handheld gaming PC with a nice screen that struggled to make it to market. (Seriously, has anyone else seen it in stock anywhere since its supposed September 2024 launch date?). It looks like Zotac might have given up on that first version entirely and instead started to prep…
