After years in development hell due to an ongoing pay dispute between Warner Bros. and director George Miller, the much-anticipated follow-up to 2015’s Mad Max: Fury Road is finally happening… and it’s a Furiosa prequel story? With Anya Taylor-Joy, Chris Hemsworth and Yahya Abdul-Mateen II recently announced to star in this upcoming prequel, the response from fans has been mixed. Although Charlize Theron’s performance as the hard-as-nails character earned acclaim from the critics, few wanted to learn about her backstory – instead, they wanted to see more of Theron kicking ass....

Players interested in understanding the tribulations of military life can look forward to Six Days in Fallujah. The upcoming tactical shooter by Victura and Highwire Games reimagines true stories from the Iraq War as told by marines, soldiers, and civilians. To faithfully recreate the Second Battle for Fallujah in 2004, the developer is implementing procedural technology for Six Days in Fallujah. Many gamers will be familiar with procedural generation, as it is an increasingly popular mechanic in today’s industry....

It’s not uncommon for game developers to reschedule or postpone the release of a game for various reasons. With the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, many developers were directly affected, even though 2020 was a profitable year for many games. While thatgamecompany’s Sky: Children of the Light was planned to release on the Nintendo Switch in summer 2020, it was delayed due to the pandemic. Thankfully, the developer has confirmed that the game will release on the Switch in the spring of this year....

While Skyward Sword has its flaws, it’s actually a very well crafted video game. From the story to the difficulty curve to the dungeon design, Skyward Sword is a better Zelda than most fans give it credit for. Unfortunately, the game does have some very real flaws: one of the most pressing being how often Link needs to fight The Imprisoned. While Skyward Sword gets some good mileage out of having you fight Ghirahim three times, the same cannot be said for The Imprisoned....

A Sonic the Hedgehog fan has imagined how the series’ most-recent side-scrolling entry, Sonic Mania, might look if it were released for the Sega Saturn. While Sega’s 32-bit console often remains obscure, this concept art shows that the console shouldn’t be forgotten. Sonic Mania is a callback to the series’ 16-bit heyday, but less people remember Sega’s efforts immediately following the Genesis games. The Sega Saturn was not a success for Sega, harming the company and the Sonic the Hedgehog brand....

Sonic the Hedgehog is racing into homes soon, as the movie is getting an early digital release at the end of the month. The iconic video game character has enjoyed a successful theatrical run, becoming the highest-grossing video game film domestically. At this point, what can be said about the Sonic movie? Everyone knows the story about perhaps the greatest flip-flop in film history. Once upon a time, social media was abuzz with near-universal negativity directed toward Sonic’s movie design; even those involved with the games didn’t seem thrilled....

In the wake of SXSW’s cancelation due to the coronavirus outbreak, Sega has instead decided to hold a smaller Sonic-themed panel in April. As the worldwide coronavirus outbreak becomes more serious and widespread, more events are biting the bullet. Anywhere that people might gather in large groups should really be avoided, at least for the time being. Teams are playing matches in front of empty arenas and stadiums, and everyone who can is being urged to work from home....

Ever since the beginning of the Coronavirus pandemic, many have wondered whether its severe effects will have an impact on the release of both the Xbox Series X and the PlayStation 5. Reports swirled that the virus could be somewhat detrimental to the console’s release due to many workers having to stay home during this troubling time, with speculation only growing as both Sony and Microsoft remained somewhat quiet about how their teams were coping with this unforeseen complication....

Let’s talk specs. Over the course of the next few months gamers will be hearing a lot about system specs, as both Microsoft and Sony jockey for position in the next-gen console war. Whose CPU is better? Whose GPU is better? These are all questions that will presumably be answered in the coming months, albeit colored in favor of one device or the other. To that point, we have a report from Digital Foundry that, if true, will put the PS4 on relatively equal footing with the Xbox One in terms of accessible RAM....

Sony Interactive Entertainment has announced the Play at Home initiative, which will give PS4 users free games with no strings attached. This is part of Sony’s effort to help contain the spread of COVID-19, as it is encouraging people to continue with social distancing and stay at home playing video games. As part of the Play at Home initiative, Sony is giving away two free games for all PS4 users in the form of Uncharted: The Nathan Drake Collection and the critically-acclaimed Journey....

Since the launch of the original PlayStation, Sony has worked tirelessly to cultivate high quality first-party exclusives at its various worldwide studios. For the most part, Sony itself has opened these studios, but now it seems that it may be looking to acquire existing studios in an effort to bolster the PlayStation 5’s lineup of first-party exclusives. This comes from Sony CEO Jim Ryan, who told investors that the company plans to invest in first-party studios “through organic growth and acquisitions” in the lead-up to the PS5’s launch....

New consoles have historically been met with giddy anticipation. While the PS5’s reception has been no different for some, a significant number of skeptics remain unconvinced that a new PlayStation console will be capable of changing the gaming landscape to the same degree as its predecessors. This is in part due to the impossibility of a significant jump in the quality of its graphics, as well as a rise in the democratization of games’ availability....

Horizon: Zero Dawn becomes one of the most anticipated releases of 2017, which gives Sony high expectations when considering the future of the series. As its imminent release creeps ever closer, Horizon: Zero Dawn is already being hailed as one of the games to play this year. Sony appears to share this optimism and the company has expressed high hopes for the future of Horizon: Zero Dawn as a franchise....

Ever wanted to know what happened to the TimeSplitters series? After waiting years for additional news on the development of TimeSplitters 4, and hearing only rumors last summer from “inside sources” at Crytek who said the game is in development for the Xbox 720 using DirectX 11, we discovered that the game’s long awaited return might be sooner than we thought. In case you have forgotten, the developers of TimeSplitters, Free Radical, were purchased by Crytek in 2009 and renamed Crytek UK....

Marvel’s Spider-Man was released in 2018, the game was reviewed as a masterpiece for the PS4, allowing players to truly feel like the web-slinging superhero in combat and in movement. If there are PS4 owners out there who haven’t yet enjoyed the title, a new leaked advertisement may point to a fresh way to enjoy the game sometime soon. According to the leaked ad, it seems as if Marvel’s Spider-Man, Just Cause 4, and The Golf Club 2019 may be headed to PlayStation Now in the near future, perhaps later this month....

Are you ready for some jellyfishing? While the NFL may have brought professional football to Nickelodeon tonight with the NFL Wild Card Game on Nickelodeon, football wasn’t the only pastime featured on the network during the broadcast. At halftime, Nickelodeon debuted the first sneak peek of Paramount+ Original Series Kamp Koral: SpongeBob’s Under Years, and the new clip featured SpongeBob’s very first jellyfishing experience. In the first-ever SpongeBob SquarePants spinoff, the CG-animated prequel follows 10-year-old SpongeBob SquarePants and his pals as they spend their summer building underwater campfires, catching wild jellyfish, and swimming in Lake Yuckymuck at the craziest camp in the kelp forest, Kamp Koral....

s Calling out brand failure may not be something a CEO of one of the largest Japanese publishing houses should be saying, especially when it comes to one of their biggest titles, specifically Final Fantasy. There are more than a few people out there who feel the series has taken a bit of a radical turn, and not in the best way possible. Square Enix CEO, Yoichi Wada, admitted himself that the brand has taken a turn for the worst....

Ah, Resident Evil. Why exactly do people come to Capcom’s long-running horror-fest? To be mortally terrified? Yup. For a thrilling, adrenaline-pumping gaming experience? Sure thing. For an intricate and affecting narrative that’s riddled with nuance and is totally plausible? Maybe not. Let’s not beat around the bush. Resident Evil makes absolutely no sense. This was more forgivable in the low-poly PlayStation days of live-action cut scenes and Jill sandwiches, but in an age of VR headsets and 4K gaming, you’d expect things to get a tad more plausible....
