We booted up the new version of Sonic Generations this morning, and it was a blast. In fact, it was exactly the same blast it was when we played it on PC 12 months ago. That’s not strictly true. There are some new bits, some re-recorded lines of dialogue. New things can be found. Places that had slowdown, even on a fairly beefy PC, don’t have slowdown in the newly released version of the game. All of these are pretty…

What’s the most innocent thing you’ve ever seen annoy the maximum amount of people? This is the internet, so I’m guessing we all have our examples. Here’s my latest find: the outpouring of grief over “Real Yakuza Use a Gamepad”. For those not in the know, that makes up most of a splash screen that shows at the start of every Yakuza game on PC. It’s a hint that if you try and play with a keyboard and mouse, you…

Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 is an action/adventure rpg with a turn-based element too. The graphics look absolutely amazing. It’ll be coming to PS5, Xbox, and Xbox Game Pass on day one. Check out the cast reveal video, along with our thoughts, below. Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 looks fantastic. On the surface, it looks like an action game but then you see it jumps into a turn-based battle system that has extremely stylish Persona-style menus. The graphics are gorgeous too. Along…

The Unreal Engine has problems. On console it’s often running at sub-1080p resolutions, and stuttering is an issue across the board. Is it time for developers to start looking at other options? It’s getting to be less and less of a surprise when a major video game franchise suddenly announces it’s going to be running on Unreal from here on out. Halo is the latest to fall, ditching its own engine and instead building future titles in Epic’s software instead.…

After seven months I have finished Final Fantasy VII: Rebirth. It’s a masterpiece, and now it’s done. I don’t know what I’ll do with myself. Expectations were high when the Remake trilogy was announced. Rightly so. You can’t casually put together a new version of one of the best loved games of all time. Remake proved the concept, Rebirth perfects it. Spending half a year or more with something makes it hard to walk away from. This was a world…

I’ve started playing games wrong, and I’ve got to say it’s feeling pretty right. This won’t be a new idea to some people, especially those who’re deep into achievements. But it’s something I recommend for everybody, if only to shake things up at a time when games aren’t spending much time rewriting the rules. The biggest games are so slick now. You barely have to play them. They put the maximum amount of energy into making everything look epic and…

Death Stranding 2 has a photo mode that will influence the way the story plays out. It also has in-game concerts. The attention to detail is incredible. But come on Kojima, I have a life. Games are getting too damn big. I’ve been playing Final Fantasy VII Rebirth since March. It’s one of the best games of the generation and I don’t see that changing. But its need to completely dominate my free time is frustrating. I’ve enjoyed every single…

You don’t need an insider knowledge to know Overwatch has been mismanaged. It’s still nice to know it for definite. Jason Schreier’s new book on Blizzard goes into some detail on the inner workings of Overwatch. He shared a shorter version on Reddit. The further abridged version is that the team behind making Overwatch such a success were cautious in hiring new people in case it changed their company culture. They tried to feed the original Overwatch and make an…
