The hardest thing about Apex Legends’ launch, 5 years ago? “It was too successful”, says dev

There are some problems that, as a developer, it must be pretty nice to have. Imagine, at the beginning of 2019 – near the height of the battle royale frenzy that gripped the industry in the Xbox One/PS4 generation – stealth-launching one of the best free-to-play games that combined the melee of Fortnite with the […]

There’s an air of apprehension in the room; both media and […]

Tragically, Like A Dragon: Infinite Wealth teases a Kiryu karaoke duet you can’t actually make happen

Warning: Spoilers for Like A Dragon`: Infinite Wealth lie ahead. While Like A Dragon: Infinite Wealth continues the series’ longstanding history of letting you belt out a ballad or two in your spare time, there’s one karaoke moment that it teases but doesn’t deliver. Naturally, players are already asking for a free update that’d allow […]

Xbox games coming to PlayStation is fine, but it’s the future of Xbox consoles I’m worried about

Xbox doesn’t have the legacy of Nintendo or PlayStation. Despite Microsoft’s video game platform turning 23 this year, there’s no denying that for most people the Xbox’s legacy is little more than Halo. That’s clearly not true, but Xbox plays third fiddle to almost everyone who doesn’t like to shout a lot on social media […]

Konami is testing out AI in Yu-Gi-Oh! Master Duel, but it’s not what you think

Konami has announced it’s working on an AI project for its competitive Yu-Gi-Oh! Mobile game Master Duel, but thankfully it’s nothing to do with generating art. Every time I hear that some game dev is using AI, my eyes start twitching with frustration, so you could understand how I might have felt when I read […]

Persona 3 Reload is Atlus’ best Steam launch, but it’s got nothing on Granblue Fantasy: Relink

The start of the year has been pretty stacked with big JRPGs like Persona 3 Reload and Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth, but surprisingly, it’s Granblue Fantasy: Relink that’s coming out on top. Persona 3 Reload has easily been one of the most highly anticipated titles for 2024, given that it’s a remake of a […]

Even this Baldur’s Gate 3 dev thinks that Xbox porting games to PS5 is a good thing, so calm down

Are you sitting down? Good. Xbox is reportedly considering bringing Indiana Jones and the Great Circle and Starfield to PS5 down the line. Hopefully you’ve managed to hear that without firing up Twitter or your email service of choice to type out an angry/disappointed message either aimed at Xbox’s execs or simply declaring that the […]
