When a game stands up and says that it is from the creators of a franchise such as Sonic The Hedgehog it tends to make folks take notice. The newly revealed Balan Wonderworld is a circus-motif-slathered platformer coming to PS4, PS5, Switch, PC, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X in spring 2021. It was first shown

Remember Rayman? No, not the Rabbids. Yes, those guys are fun too and would probably be the best option to lead Ubisoft given the publisher’s recent, rotating garbage fire of people in charge. The truth is that there hasn’t been a new console Rayman game since Rayman Legends in 2013. That seems like a long time

The 2012 MMO Final Fantasy XIV has certainly found its audience, particularly after the Realm Reborn reboot, with SquareEnix reporting that the game has reached 20 million registered users across its lifespan.

With Dragon Marked for Death’s release on PlayStation 4, we here at Inti Creates thought it was about time to tell the story of this game’s storied development history. Dragon Marked for Death had been conceived many years before I ever stepped into my role at Inti Creates in 2014, so rather than take my

We’re around four months away from the launch of next-gen consoles, and to prepare people for PS5 preorders and let players finally get their hands on the innovative new DualSense controller for themselves, it looks like PS5 kiosks and play areas are starting to go up, at least at some retail locations in the UK.

It feels like it was just yesterday when Rocket League launched on PlayStation as a PlayStation Plus title.

Now, five years later, we’re ready to start the next chapter of Rocket League.

Hi, I’m David Sirlin, and I love fighting games. I always loved Street Fighter, and was the lead designer on one version of it, then I went on to create the mechanically elegant, but strategically difficult fighting game, Fantasy Strike.

Everyone is eagerly awaiting the moment that PS5 preorders go live, both in excitement at reserving the next-gen console and fear that they’ll miss out on the launch batch. To help minimize the amount of scalpers who only purchase the console with the intent to resell at a marked up price, it looks like Sony

Atlus previously shared its hopes of remastering the third Shin Megami Tensei installment. It now seems such a project has been in the works for a while.

Deathloop developer Arkane Studios has said that being able to target 60 frames-per-second on the PlayStation 5 is “very exciting,” especially when developing an action game. Speaking to IGN, game Director Dinga Bakaba noted that Arkane’s past games were restricted to 30 fps on consoles, but thanks to next-gen hardware, it’ll now be able to add

Xbox boss Phil Spencer has said that the idea behind console wars is counter-productive for the games industry and that game companies should help each other grow rather than compete on the basis of “my piece of plastic is better than your piece of plastic.” Speaking to The Washington Post, Spencer decried the mentality of

Earlier this month, Metacritic users spotted a new user review system on the rating aggregator’s website that prevented players from leaving reviews for newly-released games right away. “Please spend some time playing the game,” read a note on Superluminal‘s Metacritic page, which users quickly realized stemmed from the high-profile review bombing of The Last of Us

The video game side of Twitter and social media exploded in the past 24 hours with equal parts outrage and confusion with the release of the Wales Interactive published, FMV Future developed Gamer Girl.

inFamous Second Son and First Light had just shipped. We’d completed three big and two small games in the series, spanning nine years of work. The PS4 was still pretty new, and yet it was time for us to move on from inFamous. You could feel it in the room.  So we set off towards

It’s a busy one today on the back and forth between Sony and Microsoft as they each trade blows in the 2020 next-gen marketing timeline. After the “I wanted it to be true, but also knew it probably wouldn’t” rumor that we’d get a PS5 price reveal earlier this week—that didn’t happen—the ball was put

Greetings, fellow samurai-to-be. The launch of Sucker Punch’s open-world epic Ghost of Tsushima lies just ahead, and with it comes a robust new Photo Mode that I predict many aesthetically minded players will get lost in for hours.
