The 10 Best Sonic Games

-
Image
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...

Ghostrunner's Doom-Inspired Parkour Continues to Impress

-
Ghostrunner is already shaping up to be one of my most-anticipated games of 2020 , and up until this point much of its lore and setting has been shrouded in mystery. Who is the Ghostrunner? What is this tower we’re climbing? Who is the “whisper in your head?” Thankfully, during my most recent playthrough many of these questions were answered, while still saving some of that mystery for the full release. Developer One More Level has been hard at work on Ghostrunner since its impressive public debut at PAX East, adding new areas, enemies, characters, and abilities ahead of its final release. The first demo ended with the Ghostrunner coming face-to-face with the “whisper in his head” that he had been blindly following through the underbelly of Dharma Tower. We now know this large, blue head is the Architect, and it will be guiding you through the entirety of your adventure.

Announced at the PC Gaming Show, Persona 4 Golden is $19.99 USD on Steam, and there is also a digital deluxe edition that includes a digital artbook and soundtrack. https://ift.tt/30KNATT [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2020/06/13/persona-4-golden-steam-trailer-pc-gaming-show"] Persona 4 was originally released on the PlayStation 2, and it found a new life on PlayStation Vita in 2012. In fact, we ranked it as our favorite Vita game in our list of Top 25 PlayStation Vita Games. In our review, we said "The PlayStation Vita is lucky to have Persona 4 Golden. While the game doesn’t do much of note besides bringing the 2008 title to the HD era, it doesn’t need to. The story hooks you, dungeon crawling makes for a great time, and exploring your relationships while building a better army is the kind of tinkering you can get lose hours to. Persona 4 Golden is perf...

What PS5's Different Versions Could Mean for Price

-
After months of piecing together information about the upcoming Sony PlayStation 5 , we’ve finally gotten a look at the console’s unique design – along with the reveal that a disc-less “Digital Edition” will also be in tow. We didn’t, however, get any more hints about the PS5’s price, though the presence of a digital edition is promising. First, let’s clear up one misconception: it’s unlikely that these two consoles will be hugely different in terms of performance. So don’t expect a base-model PS5 and a high-powered PS5 Pro at launch – if Sony decides to do a PS5 Pro model, we’d expect it to come in the form of a mid-generation refresh, as the PS4 Pro did. [widget path="global/article/imagegallery" parameters="albumSlug=playstation-5-and-playstation-5-digital-edition-console-design-images&captions=true"] Instead, we’re assuming the disc-less PS5 will be more akin to the Xbox One S All-Digital Edition , which launched for $250 last year —$50 cheaper than the ...

Spider-Man: 6 Miles Morales Stories That Could Inspire the PS5 Game

-
Image
For many Marvel fans, there's no bigger selling point for the upcoming Playstation 5 than  the newly announced Spider-Man: Miles Morales . This upcoming spinoff of 2018's Marvel's Spider-Man puts gamers in the shoes of the rookie hero as he learns the tricks of the superhero trade and works to define his own path as Spidey. Marvel's Spider-Man is notable for drawing a great deal of inspiration from the comics for its meaty, ambitious story mode. We assume Spider-Man: Miles Morales will be no different. Read on for six key Miles Morales comics that could influence Insomniac's new game. Warning: Beware of some spoilers for Marvel Spider-Man and Marvel's Ultimate Spider-Man comics! [poilib element="accentDivider"] Prowler With the first Spider-Man game having already showcased Miles' origin story, the most logical place for this followup to draw from would be Miles' sophomore adventure in the pages of Ultimate Comics Spider-Man.

Rocksteady, NeatherRealm, Other WB Studios Reportedly Up for Sale

-
AT&T is reportedly looking to sell the Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment gaming division, which includes studios like NetherRealm, Avalanche, and Rocksteady. The deal could be valued at $4 billion and there’s reported interest from companies like Take-Two, EA, and Activision Blizzard.

This includes WB Interactive, which has already picked up interest from some of the game industry’s largest companies. Though sources say a deal is neither in place nor imminent.

Spider-Verse’s Phil Lord Has Seen Spider-Man: Miles Morales for PS5

-
Image
While the news that Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales coming to PS5 for the 2020 holiday season was one of the highlights of Sony’s reveal event , precious little information about the game was actually revealed. That’s why it’s notable for Phil Lord -- best known to Spidey fans as the man behind the story of 2018’s Oscar-winning animated film Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse featuring Miles Morales -- to reveal that he’s one of few people who have actually seen the game. Lord retweeted the reveal trailer for the upcoming game, writing, “We got a chance last year to check out what the insomniacs are up to and... it’s special. They’re special.” It certainly sounds as though Lord liked what he saw, and he was impressed with the people making it. By “insomniacs” Lord is of course referring to the developers at Insomniac Games who gave us 2018’s Marvel’s Spider-Man for PS4 and are now working on the followup. Lord knows what it takes to capture the essence of Miles and faithfully ada...

Opinion: The PS5 Reveal Has Put All the Pressure Back on Microsoft

-
Sony went all-in with this week’s PlayStation 5 Reveal event, choosing to push all of its chips into the center of the table on one hand rather than make more frequent smaller bets, as Microsoft has (mostly successfully) done so far. But, perhaps knowing it had a great hand – it certainly helps that you’re the market leader by a sales factor of two over your competitors, meaning you have a much higher margin for error – it waited. And when the time finally came, Sony played its hand beautifully – it was also the most-watched gaming stream in YouTube’s history – erasing much of Microsoft’s hard-earned Xbox Series X momentum in one fell swoop. So the question for Team Xbox becomes, “Now what?” Winning the price battle would be a good start. Unlike in the matchup between the Xbox One and the PS4, the general consensus in the developer community thus far seems to be that the Xbox Series X will have more overall power than the PS5 and thus be able to run in higher resolutions and at high...

However, early this year Sony announced it would not be attending E3 2020, making it the second year in a row that it would be skipping one of the biggest events in gaming. Since then, the ESA confirmed E3 2020 was ...
