Well, it worked. Some of the most memorable Zelda games weren’t actually made by Nintendo, but were instead developed by Capcom – more specifically a now defunct division of Capcom called ‘Flagship’. These games include Oracle of Ages, Oracle of Seasons, Four Swords, and The Minish Cap. It’s fairly well known by this point that…
Grab your COG tags, we’re jumping into the Early Access Open Beta for Gears of War: E-Day! You can also grab your Dateviators to Date Everything!, and your bat to rule the field in Cricket 26. Lots of accessories in this next round of games coming soon to XBOX Game Pass! Gears of War: E-Day…
Things are coming together. If you’ve been following the saga of Commodore and its Amiga computer over the decades, then you’ll be aware it’s a right old mess, as the rights to the company’s IP were carved up when it went bust back in the ’90s. However, a pair of new deals have just been…
Anyone remember Ubi Soft’s ‘POD’? As much as I love the LucasArts racing game Star Wars Episode 1: Racer, there’s one thing that has always bugged me about it: the name. This may be a personal preference at work, but it always sounded a little clunky to me, on account of the developers lobbing off…
Though it’s a chunky handheld gaming PC, we highly rated the original Lenovo Legion Go (though we liked the Legion Go S SteamOS a fair bit more). Unfortunately, owners of the two-year old hardware are now reporting that a recent BIOS update is bricking their handhelds. The BIOS update in question is version N3CN42WW for…
Last week, developer ShiftUp released a video marketing its upcoming sequel Stellar Blade: Blood Rain. A so-called “music video” which was riddled with generative AI, from Evie’s harrowing grin to a very rubbish song with cringeworthy robotic vocals. The video has garnered a whole bunch of backlash—from myself included—as people wondered why on earth a…
The reviews are in. Game Freak, as you’ll know, is basically the Pokémon company (except for, you know, the actual Pokémon Company, which Game Freak partly owns – it’s not as complex as it sounds, promise). Yet every now and then, the developer will come out with something that has absolutely nothing to do with…
You don’t need me to tell you the memory crisis is looking bleak, but, well, the memory crisis is looking bleak. So bleak, in fact, that Gigabyte has just unveiled a new series of AM4 motherboards. Yes, the socket we thought we’d be done with by now. The B550 X Series, as Gigabyte calls it,…
“No generative AI or LLMs have touched any part of this translation”. The original Super Famicom version of Chunsoft’s highly influential “sound novel” Kamaitachi no Yoru has just received a fan translation, allowing players to experience it in English for the very first time. Released in 1994, Kamaitachi no Yoru was the second sound novel…
As you can see in the above video, I recently travelled to Osaka, Japan, to go inside Capcom’s headquarters and play its upcoming action game, Onimusha: Way of the Sword, as well as talk to many of the lead devs who have worked on it. And, as part of my developer interviews, I spoke with…
