Capcom expresses continued interest in ‘re-activating IPs’ as the first new Onimusha game in 20 years surpasses 1 million sales on launch day

Samurai adventure Onimusha: Way of the Sword notched over a million sales on its launch day, Capcom has announced. The success is deserved, per our reviewer Wes, who said that Way of the Sword “whips ass” in his 83/100 review. (And if the demo had you worried that it wouldn’t be much of a challenge,…

OpenAI publicly acknowledges the German ‘wiki incident’ weeks after first finding out about it

OpenAI has officially acknowledged the ‘wiki incident,’ which involved a number of the company’s AI agents breaking containment and hijacking an obscure German website.

Riot MMO’s future is ‘incredibly bright’ despite co-founder likening its development to the grail: ‘Many a brave knight are going to die’

Despite a cloud of doom and gloom hanging over Riot’s mysterious MMO in the wake of 2XKO’s closure–including well-founded concerns from our own Harvey Randall—its co-founder seems confident in its ongoing development. At least, that’s what I’m parsing from his relative non-answer when pressed about it during a panel at PAX West over the weekend….

Riot co-founder doesn’t think 2XKO was ‘a mistake’ but perhaps a tough sell: ‘You’re not just competing against games, you’re competing against everything’

After years of development, a shaky launch, and layoffs a mere three weeks later, the inevitable came for Riot’s tag fighter 2XKO in August: shutdown of future development after this year, and refunds for everyone who had made in-game purchases up to that point. In its announcement post, Riot admitted that it was unable to…

Square Enix wants Final Fantasy 7 to be an ‘IP with an ever-evolving future’, which is strange to say about a franchise that’s already ever-evolving

Final Fantasy 7’s remake trilogy has, at the very least, given us a trio of pretty solid RPGs—I had a great time with the first, and I’m soon to buckle up and finally give Rebirth a go. But I can’t help but wonder, quietly, whether or not Final Fantasy has fallen into the same ‘fear…

Once again, it is genuinely cheaper for me to fly to PAX West and track down Nvidia’s ‘GeForce Evangelist’ rather than buy the RTX 5090 anywhere else

Hello, and welcome to another episode of ‘I’d do anything for an Nvidia RTX 5090 at MSRP, but I won’t do that.’ This time, ‘that’ is hopping on an international flight from the UK to Seattle, Washington in the US, so I can buy a 50-series card at PAX West. Nvidia’s self-described GeForce Evangelist Jacob…
