Few video game characters are as iconic as Sonic the Hedgehog. The speedy little blue blur has been around for over three decades, touching every corner of pop culture along the way, from games, to comics, to TV, to blockbuster movies. But we’re here specifically to celebrate the mainline Sonic game series and pick the best of them. Before we start, let’s quickly touch upon our criteria. We tried to rank these games based on a combination of historical significance, innovation, and how well these games stand the test of time. Some games, like Sonic Adventure 1 and the original Sonic the Hedgehog, for instance, are obviously super important to the Sonic series and set the foundation for both 2D and 3D Sonic games to follow, but we felt like they both didn’t quite hold up as well as their sequels when judged by a modern standard, which was why they just missed this list. The 10 games on this list are the ones we feel are the best examples of both classic and modern Sonic style. So w...

Nintendo Works to Fix Game-Breaking Paper Mario Issue

-
Nintendo has promised to fix a game-breaking issue in Paper Mario: The Origami King that can keep players from progressing through the story. Light location spoilers for Paper Mario: The Origami King follow. [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2020/05/14/paper-mario-the-origami-king-announcement-trailer"] On Mario and Olivia's journey to the last streamer in The Origami King, players have to collect four stamps for their Spring of Rainbows VIP card in the Shangri-Spa area. After you collect all four stamps from four different hot springs, you gain access to a secret fifth hot spring. However, once you enter the fifth hot spring, the Spring of Rainbows, you lose your VIP pass. And, the other four hot springs will not give Mario a second stamp, meaning it's impossible to regain the VIP pass after you've already used it. If you try to re-enter the Spring of Rainbows, Mario will once again be asked to show his VIP pass. So, if you leave the Spring of Rainbows b...

One-Third of Developers Say Their Games Were Delayed by COVID-19 According to GDC Survey

-
According to a survey of almost 2,500 game developers, one in three developers revealed that their games were delayed as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic that has halted many industries as companies scrambled to shift to a work-from-home model. In a special Game Developers Conference (GDC) survey, 1 in 3 developers (33%) reported that the games they’re working on were delayed due to the pandemic. 70% of respondents also announced that they’ve begun working from home, while 27% were already working from home before the crisis. One developer was quoted, “We transitioned to [work from home] okay, but it did cause us about a couple of weeks of disruption. As [New Zealand] has got COVID under control we’re already back at the office and functioning 100 percent.” [widget path="global/article/imagegallery" parameters="albumSlug=confirmed-playstation-5-games&captions=true"] Every year, ahead of the annual Game Developers Conference, the organizers release a state of the industry survey with answers directly from developers. This year, GDC’s physical event in San Francisco, California was canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic. In light of the events, the organizers decided to release a special survey on how the pandemic impacted the games industry. Normally these surveys are meant to gauge a variety of sectors related to the work game developers do. In previous years, surveys reported on general interest in emerging technology like VR, or how many developers have begun work on next-gen games ahead of the PS5 and Xbox Series X announcements. But with so much of the industry upended by COVID-19, this year’s survey focused primarily on the pandemic. In other areas of the industry, 34% of respondents revealed that their game business declined, while 37% said their business remind the same. 31% of developers even said business increased during the pandemic. Less than 10% of surveyed developers were laid off as a result of the pandemic. GDC will host a special digital-only event from August 4-6. [poilib element="accentDivider"] Matt T.M.
