Square Enix announced is financials this morning and the outlook isn’t so hot. HD Games – including Final Fantasies XIV and 7 Rebirth – underperformed to the tune of ¥8.1 billion ($57m). This is terrible news for a franchise which has finally found its footing. Those two Final Fantasy games are the best the franchise has been in years. Rebirth, although I’m biased, will likely be this generation’s Red Dead Redemption for me. A game so big, so high quality…

Just a few hours after I wrote that Concord wasn’t dead yet, Sony killed it. I guess that’s a lesson to us all. You can no longer buy it. Servers will be shut off tomorrow. After eight years of development, the game lasted about a fortnight. Its director said that it will be back after the development team “explore options, including those that will better reach our players”. If you heard “free-to-play model” then you won’t be alone. And yet…

Within hours of release, PlayStation’s Concord was labelled a failure of the highest magnitude. Analysts have suggested sales could be sitting at around 25,000 on console. Steam sales are behind that. And man, people are loving it. Endless analysis from people without the information needed to give it and, huh, surprise of surprises, the analysis all points to exactly what their opinion on the situation is. Sony is focussing too much on GAAS, and this is their punishment. The marketing…

Concord, Firewalk Studios’ debut title on the PS5, is a hero-based shooter that offers a unique blend of character-driven gameplay and intense action. While it shows promise, it’s still navigating the competitive landscape and could benefit from a few refinements. The Good: Distinct Characters: Each character brings a unique playstyle to the table, ensuring variety and strategic depth. Engaging Story: The narrative, though still unfolding, offers a compelling backdrop for the action. Visually Appealing: The game’s graphics are impressive, ...

Game Pass is getting restructured. First party games are leaving PlayStation Plus, and there’s no evidence they’re coming back. The grand experiment is over, and it looks like the glory days are gone. It was supposed to be a shake up on an industry that desperately needed shaking up. The traditional model of paying increasingly high amounts for increasingly safe and padded out video games was starting to feel hard to justify. Many of us were paying pennies for most…

The Guardian of Nature One of the games that I had the privilege to try was The Guardian of Nature, developed and published by Inlusio Interactive. The…

Red Dead Redemption never officially came to PC. So it’s unusual that the PlayStation Store is currently announcing that it will be making the jump. Yes, you read that right. The PS4 version of Red Dead Redemption was given PC-centric copy for a while there on the store. I just wish I could say that it wasn’t a moment too late. It would be hypocritical of me to grumble too much about the original PS3 classic getting a release on…
