What if there were an ultra-slim, highly portable LCD gaming monitor that ran on its own internal battery power?...
William Adams when? Ryu Hayabusa is back, baby! After skipping out on the initial version ofWarriors Orochi 4, Koei Tecmo is bringing back the guest characters for theUltimateexpansion. Theannouncement a few days backconfirmed Joan of Arc, so it was only natural that other guest characters would be returning. Considering Hayabusa is amazing, it’s no surprise to hear he’s making a glorious comeback. As for other guest characters, I’d like to see William Adams appear....
It’s weird to be playing aFroggerre-release at an event where super high profile titles likeThe Last of UsandResident Evil 6are being shown, but I’m glad I checked it out because I’m all about one of the game’s multiplayer modes called Tile Capture. Tile Capture has up to four local players doing the standardFroggerthing, trying to move from the bottom of the screen across a busy road and a gator-infseted pond, and then onto their safe zone without being squashed, but in this mode as they’re hopping around, each tile they cross becomes changes color to match their player color....

Kim Hyung Tae, director ofStellar Bladeat Shift Up, recently outlined his thoughts on why the games industry needs singleplayer games and variety more than anything. In a recent interview withRuliweb, translated byGenki, stressed his desire to see more games with a definitive ending experience. While the structure itselfstill thrives, it’s hard to ignore the fountain of live service-focused, always online games dominating the scene likeGenshin Impact,Warframe, and evenHelldivers 2. “Sales success has become a severe issue in recent years due to the rising costs of development,” said Kim....

Console port, please In case you aren’t familiar with M2, you should probably get acquainted. The Japanese developer has partnered with Sega for some of the best retro re-releases to date, but they also break out of that comfort zone to craft new games based on existing IP and their own creations. One of their latest original works, codenamed “Ikusaba,” is shaping up very nicely.According to German website Maniac.de, M2 is developing a vertical shoot ’em up (shmup) that’s set to release in Japanese arcades very soon, distributed by (of course) Sega....

But the current director attached to the film, family movie director andStranger Thingsexecutive producerShawn Levy, seems quite confident that the video game adaptation will finally happen. Speaking toThe PlaylistaboutStranger Thingsseason 3, Levy offered an update on the progress forUncharted.

‘What Happened in 62’ [Update: A blog post from 2K Gameshas confirmedthat the “XCOMuniverse is expanding.In the coming days the world will get a fresh look at the long-awaited squad-based tactical shooter in development at 2K Marin.”] It seems increasingly likely that 2K Games is about to once again lift the curtain on theXCOMfirst-person shooter. We don’t specifically know whynowis the right time — perhaps the game has changed direction again and is now far enough along to go public, orEnemy Unknown‘s success played some part in its continued financial support — but theevidence speaks for itself....
