The 10 Best Sonic Games

-

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...

Gotham Knights: Heroes' Different Combat Styles Explained

-
WB Games Montréal has explained a little more about the different combat styles of its four heroes, Red Hood, Nightwing, Robin, and Batgirl. In a previous interview with IGN, creative director Patrick Redding made clear that all four characters would use melee and ranged weaponry, as well as special abilities. In a new interview summarised by the PlayStation Blog, Redding explained how, despite the similar set-up, the four characters would fight differently. "Red Hood is a brutal brawler with a focus on gunplay. Nightwing’s acrobatics lead to a more exaggerated style of fighting, while the current Robin favours stealth and is a dab hand at using status effects to disrupt enemies. And Batgirl? 'She combines a laser-focused, targeted and efficient melee fighter approach with a lot of resilience and the ability to weaponize her environment using hacking,' says Redding." [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/7-minutes-of-batman-gotham-knights-gameplay"] While we knew that each character would utilise different weapons, this is our first hint at how the characters' innate strengths will be used in moment-to-moment gameplay. Speaking of those weapons, we've also learned that the neon indicators we saw on each one are actually gameplay-related, rather than simply colour-coded for aesthetic reasons. “It’s a very important platform for us to deliver game information," explained Redding. "Some of those visual effects tell you what damage type you have equipped on your weapons. So it’s a way for the player to receive signs of feedback… that lets them know what protection they have, what they’re going to use against their enemies, both in terms of ranged and melee attacks.” Redding has previously told IGN that players can choose to play as a single hero for the entire campaign, or switch between them by heading to the Belfry headquarters location - different playstyles and status effect-related gear makes clearer the benefit of switching characters, given that some may offer different approaches to specific challenges along the way.

We've learned a lot about Gotham Knights since it was announced at DC Fandome, from why it's killed off Batman, how it's set in a different universe, and why it definitely isn't a game-as-service.
