The Elder Scrolls: Oblivion will be getting a remaster announced and released next week. It’s not yet official, but a combination of leakers and images found on the developer’s website have all but confirmed it. The response? “This is awesome, but why aren’t they making us wait for it?!” Xbox are no strangers to a shadow drop. Hi-Fi Rush is the biggest example. Ninja Gaiden 2 got a remake this year. Things will quite regularly appear on Game Pass with…

Marathon’s Pay-to-Play Gambit is a Risk
You’ll have to pay for Bungie’s upcoming Marathon. And if you want to see everything, you’ll need to pay again and again. It’s been less than a year since Concord was released then unreleased within a two week period. It was a wake up call for PlayStation bosses, who rapidly backed away from their Games as a Service push, cancelling a slew of unreleased titles including a game based around God of War. But the folks behind Halo and Destiny…

Minecraft Making a Mess of Movies
Idiots on Tiktok have turned the new Minecraft movie into a meme. Kids (and more than a few adults) have been convinced to throw popcorn and drinks, scream loudly, and generally cause trouble in the name of fitting in. The real problem? Some producers are taking notice. The cinema business has been in freefall for a good while now. People are going to less and less films, and with more variety than ever. If you’re not James Bond, Marvel, Star…

Final Fantasy VI Is Overrated
It’s the classic response each time someone mentions loving Final Fantasy VII. “Wait until you try Final Fantasy VI,” someone will inevitably say. “Makes VII look amateur.” And I’ve written that as politely as possible. I’ve seen too many hipster rants about the beauty of the SNES JRPG classics, and the message is simple. If you came in with the PlayStation games, you’ve missed out. There’s always been a smugness to the discourse. Oh, you think THAT is good? And…

Console Wars Are Over – Content Wars Have Begun
There have been a lot of op-ed pieces lately about the end of the console wars. With Xbox finding their own way and Sony and Nintendo representing different parts of the industry, it seems there’s now little reason to compare the big three. We’ll do it anyway though, eh? I started a segment on how the gaming industry will look very different in five years. But the reality – for those not deep in the trenches – is that the…

The Last of the Tomb Raiders
There’s been a lot of discussion lately around Tomb Raider, in part thanks to the wonderful re-releases by Aspyr. But there’s an issue that these remasters highlight: much of what we love about these classics has been left behind. I’m not going to spend the next 450 words harking back to the “better” days of discourse around whether you can get Lara naked or not using Xploder cheats. The gaming world got bigger, and so Lara had to grow too.…

Warriors Abyss: Out the Box Thinking Is Vital For This Industry
Warriors Abyss is fantastic. A review will be coming in the next week or so, but the shadow dropped spin-off is well worth your time and money. Ultimately it’s a small budget affair but I can’t exaggerate what a breath of fresh air it is. I don’t know how successful it has been or how much money it needs to make back. But what I know is that after the far too wordy tutorial, this game just clicked. In a…
