Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater premiered in September from Konami to both critical and commercial success, another strong outing in Konami’s return to game development after years of focusing on mobile and live-service titles. Because of this success, it is really no surprise that Konami is already eyeing up the possibility of remaking more titles with a more modern aesthetic. In preparation for the Tokyo Game Show, several players have seen a  “post-viewing survey” which, while not making the rounds yet, many assume is set to be sent out following Konami’s “Metal Gear Production Hotline at TGS2025,” livestream, which…

If there is one positive thing that can be said about Towa and the Guardians of the Sacred Tree, there are genuine glimpses of a game with an engaging hook buried in there. A game that doesn’t follow the trends set forth by other games in the roguelike genre and forges its own path. Unfortunately, that really is the nicest thing that can be said, and it becomes worse when, to see those moments of promise, you have to wade through one of the most frustratingly annoying loops. Then you need to reckon with the fact that the loop is…

While the village hub area in Towa And The Guardians of the Sacred Tree is small, there are a few things that players can take part in while controlling Towa, before setting out on their journey through the roguelike core of the experience. One of the things you can do here has become a staple in gaming, and that’s a fishing minigame. Fishing doesn’t seem like it will help the player on their quest, which wouldn’t matter as a good fishing game is a great diversifier, but by taking part, you will actually help yourself in the long run as…

CD Projekt Red appears set to feature some form of multiplayer component in their upcoming sequel to Cyberpunk 2077. Multiplayer was initially planned for Cyberpunk 2077 before being scrapped and made into an intended side project set in the universe, before that plan was scrapped as well. A Posting for the next Cyberpunk title’s lead network engineer features several responsibilities required of the position, including one that states “develop and optimize multiplayer systems, including matchmaking,” with the goal being to “address challenges related to latency, bandwidth usage, and server performance.” The job listing also states that applicants will need to…

I never had Cartoon Network at my house, or maybe I did, but we gave it up for some reason. I think, if I remember correctly, Sega Channel required giving up channels through cable, so I might have lost it through that. I honestly can’t remember. What I can remember was spending summers at my grandmother’s house, who did indeed have the channel. All the shows and TV blocks were addictive to my child’s brain, but one day, while just parked in front of the TV, this block of Japanese shows came on, which were pretty new to America at…

Borderlands 4 Developer Gearbox has stated that improving the performance of the PC version of the game is the “top priority” of the patch being released for the game today, on September 18th. In a statement made on social media, Gearbox said that it was aware of the feedback given by players across all platforms for Borderlands 4, with patches planned to address many of these issues. Among them, a field of view slider is not yet ready to be added, but is currently in testing. Despite hitting big numbers on Steam, many players have taken to the internet to…

Publishers Paradox and White Wolf, in conjunction with developer The Chinese Room, have backtracked on their plans to release two playable clans as Day One DLC, instead, making them part of the base game upon launch. The Lasombra and Toreador clans were initially planned to be released on Day 1 alongside the launch of Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodline 2, as part of a $21.99 DLC content pack that was met with backlash among fans. This shake-up to the launch plans for the title was announced today by The Chinese Room, along with the announcement that two additional story packs,…

Developer Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio and Sega appear to have leaked confirmation of the rumored Yakuza Kiwami 3, suggesting an official announcement will be forthcoming soon. Users across Twitter and Reddit have been creating some buzz after they noticed traces of a Yakuza Kiwami 3 on the developer’s official website. This mention, which only referenced a third entry in the Yakuza remakes, has been removed since, but the internet being the internet, it has been screen-grabbed by several people. Kiwami, meaning Extreme, Ultimate, or Peak, is the added title to the Yakuza games that have been remade so far, which…
