Who doesn't love a big swing, a bold new direction, especially when so many video game publishers seem increasingly determined to walk the safest route? While Stranger Than Heaven might look familiar at first glance - particularly if you're a fan of Like a Dragon developer RGG's other third-person action games - it differs where it counts. And to my mind, it's one of the most exciting games the studio has worked on in a while. Read more
Dragon Ball Xenoverse 3's bigger focus on multiplayer PvE seems like the right direction for Xenoverse. Not just because it would be tough to top Xenoverse 2 as one of the shining examples of the Anime Fighter genre and live service games in general, but as a potential tone-setter for the genre going forward.
in a new three-hour demo, I got to play Stranger Than Heaven from the start, see a bit of its decade-spanning story in action, and explore the different towns that represent each time period. That also meant getting real familiar with how to throw hands in the re-tuned combat, and it feels like I've done a complete 180-degree turn on RGG Studio's next game. Meaning, I’m now all-in on the Yakuza team’s latest.
We just got our strongest hint at what Xbox Labs might be "cooking up" for players, thanks to Xbox chief technology officer Scott Van Vliet. The executive posted a video on X that ends with Halo 3 booting up inside what appears to be the Microsoft Edge web browser. In fact, the option to play the beloved FPS with mouse and keyboard even appears as a prompt, too. Van Vliet noted that he was working on "retro vibes" in the social media post, and he also tagged Xbox CEO Asha Sharma . Intriguingly,…
Another day, another PS5 update, as Sony tweaks its system with another minor upgrade. It looks like business as usual for PS5 Update Version: 26.07-14.20.00, with Sony focusing on overall usage and message readability, but there are murmurs that the patch could also be quietly plugging a few jailbreak holes. First, the actual update. "We've improved the messages and usability on some screens," Sony's succinct patch notes read. For your average PS5 user, this won't mean much and downloading the…
EA Sports has announced that its Fight Night series of boxing games is coming back. Fans have been waiting a very long time, considering the last game in the series was 2011's Fight Night Champion for PS3 and Xbox 360. The franchise debuted in 2004 with Fight Night 2004, and sequels were released in 2005, 2006, and 2009 before Champion came out in 2011. "To everyone who stayed in our corner: Fight Night is coming back," EA Sports said. https://twitter.com/EASPORTSFN/status/2112604926941471213…
The dedicated Pokémon stores are major tourist attractions in Japan, and often have exclusive merchandise and events
Infinity Ward opened up early access to Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4's DMZ extraction mode overnight , meaning anyone who has pre-ordered a copy can now play the game's campaign as well as DMZ. And while early reactions to DMZ are fairly positive, there's one issue in particular, which a number of players have experienced, that has the capability of ending a round as soon as it begins.

Xbox CEO Asha Sharma is reportedly plotting a "major overhaul" of the Xbox Game Pass service, beyond some of the big changes she's made already like dropping new Call of Duty game releases from the membership. According to Fortune , Xbox could overhaul Game Pass to give players the ability to choose features à la carte. This would reportedly include things like cloud gaming, multiplayer, and "add-ons for console-only games." Game Pass would evolve to operate on a "tiered structure," the report…
Everything has a selling price, and in Xbox's case, Microsoft's gaming division could be worth at least $100 billion. That's according to a new report, which claims that several private equity firms mulled purchasing Xbox and were willing to go as high as $150 billion for Microsoft's gaming hub--enough cash to buy 15 billion rubber duckies, 50 billion McDouble Cheeseburgers, or 100 billion Costco Hot Dog combos. Or if you felt like wasting that cash, you could easily fund the production of 500…
Cygames goes above and beyond after visas fall through
Right, let's get one important thing out of the way first: I've played a fair bit more of Dawn of War 4 's main campaign, after my initial impressions of a single mission last year , and I think it is very good . The action is as screen-filling as ever, the Orks are a delight, and the combat director, which sees individual combatants lock onto each other with bespoke animations when groups fight in melee, remains a genuine feat of RTS engineering. I'll have much more to say on that front soon,…
