“As I worked on it, I wanted to write something more complex”. The former Namco composer Asuka Sakai has recently revealed how her work on the Klonoa sequel, Lunatea’s Veil, helped her open up after her experiences on R4: Ridge Racer Type 4. The composer spoke about the subject in an interview with the “hidden…
I rather enjoyed the first Final Fantasy 7 remake—I sank a comfy 35 hours into it, plodded along its story, and had a grand old time. I never got around to Rebirth, though. Partially because I just didn’t have the time, but also because I didn’t want another fully-priced AAA game taking a chunk out…
Sorry, Geoff. The big wave of Summer showcases is seemingly over, with Sony, Microsoft, and Nintendo all presenting their own bespoke ‘Directs’ and Geoff Keighley hosting the annual Summer Game Fest event in Los Angeles. It’s been a pretty great showing across the board in our opinion, and we don’t think any of the major…
Dead by Daylight recently celebrated its 10 year anniversary with a day-long fan event with panels, meet-and-greets, and crucially, a bunch of new announcements as Behaviour Interactive looks to the next 10 years of development. First off, the headlining news was a recap of Dead by Daylight’s upcoming Chapter and collabs, including the highly sought…
The Tokyo game store reopened in a new location earlier this month. Last month, you may remember us telling you about the video game store Beep Akihabara being forced to relocate from its original location after its building was scheduled for demolition. Well, since then, it seems the company has thankfully found another base of…
Battling 2001 style. If you crave the authentic feel of a GameCube controller in your hands while playing Zelda: Wind Waker, F-Zero GX and SoulCalibur II on Nintendo Switch Online, then Nintendo has you covered – for a price. The ‘Nintendo Classics’ wireless GameCube pad replica is great, but it’s not cheap – and, if…
If you check in with Steam’s player population data as much as I do, then you’ll know it’s pretty common to see an idle game towards the top. Bongo Cat has been sitting up there for basically a year. Banana holds the title of tenth-highest all-time concurrent player peak on Steam. Out with the old,…
Can I get a “Guh Huh’? It seems like only yesterday that Mr Wiseguy released his Recompiled PC port of Banjo-Kazooie, bringing a bunch of additional features, including high-frame-rate support, widescreen and ultra-wide-screen options, and limited mod support. But it already appears that we’re getting another native PC port based on the N64 classic. This…
Dragon’s Dogma 2 is a great bit of fun—a chaotic, sometimes overtly cruel action RPG with a great sense of physical humour and some really tactile combat. It also got absolutely hazed during its launch period back in 2024 thanks to some utterly baffling microtransactions. As I personally covered back then, the entire thing was…
“Discovered a few months ago inside a brand-new Control Deck NES console bundle”. A sealed and rare copy of Super Mario Bros. on the NES has just sold at auction for a staggering $3 million. As reported by IGN and highlighted on social media by Chris Kohler, this ‘Professional Sports Authenticator (PSA) 9.6 A++’ grade…
