Over the past few years, we have seen a number of JRPGs get censored or altered for Western consumption. With Monster Hunter World on the way, some fans might have been concerned that the fifth installment in the Monster Hunter franchise would see alterations for the West. Executive director Kaname Fujioka has made it clear that Monster Hunter World will remain true to the franchise:“We’re not taking things that people in the west hate and fixing them to make western players buy it. The game isn

To me, it is the pinnacle art form at this point in time. Yeah, there’s a tremendous amount of potential that is yet to be unlocked, within the video game medium.

Earlier this month, Grand Theft Auto V’s main modding tool, Open IV, was shut down following a Cease and Desist order from Take-Two, Rockstar Games’ parent company. Take-Two and Rockstar claimed that the tool was being used to negatively impact Grand Theft Auto V’s online mode and was, therefore, ruining the experience of other players.

Star Citizen was once a crowdfunding darling, earning its entire Kickstarter goal within a matter of days. Naturally, this created a bit of a shock wave, particularly within the Star Citizen fanbase. As such, Cloud Imperium Games’ co-founder Ortwin Freyermuth came forward on the studio’s forums to address the concern. The basic gist is that the studio is actually getting an advance on a tax rebate rather than taking out a loan. He explicitly states that the collateral “specifically excludes Star

Usually, “budget games” like this have stories that are pretty forgettable and throwaway but Get Even’s is truly interesting and unique. Not only is the premise unique but the story is well-told and constructed very well. Gameplay is dull despite its efforts to innovate and be interesting:Speaking of enemies, the combat in Get Even is less than stellar. Cole Black is said to be a cold-blooded gun for hire but you don’t really get a feel for that in the game. There are two really cool combat mech

When the original DICE Star Wars Battlefront released in 2015, select PC players were able to sign up for the game’s alpha. Recently, Community Manager of Star Wars Battlefront, Sledgehammer70 wrote a post on the Star Wars Battlefront 2 forums asking players to report bugs found in the game’s alpha. Unfortunately, the post was deleted, likely to cover the tracks of a leak, but Reddit user CaptainPhantasma21 (Nice double-reference!)

Destiny 2 won’t simply be changing the game’s setting, adding new weapons, armor, and features – it’s also bringing a new focus on narrative. This re-focusing on narrative is the biggest difference between the original game and Destiny 2. In an interview with GamesRadar, Destiny 2’s director, Luke Smith, revealed how the team was approaching Destiny 2 differently, at least as far as the story goes. Smith explained that the biggest difference between the original Destiny and the upcoming sequel i

Sega is going all out with Sonic Mania. To add to this, Sega is also releasing a vinyl soundtrack for the game.

The Raid Battles will allow you to capture the raid boss (the Pokemon you are battli

David Cage games are about choice. The interesting thing about Detroit, being a sci-fi about androids, is that this time, you’ll have the option to replay any choices from any point. It’s really like ‘what would you do if it was happening to you?’ What is, for you, morally the right thing to do? You think you’re doing the right thing and it turns out to be the bad thing. Detroit aims to make each decision change the game so drastically, that this may seem like an issue of the past.

Shawn Layden, the president and CEO of Sony Interactive Entertainment America, sat down to make it clear that we probably won’t be seeing the PlayStation 5 anytime soon.
