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...

Call of Duty: Warzone Is Getting a Fast-Travel Subway System in Season Six

-
Image
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare's sixth season will add a subway system to Verdansk that will become the fastest way to get around the battle royale's map. As shown in the season six cinematic trailer for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare, the Verdansk Subway System, locally known as the Metro, was brought back to life by Farah and Nikolai to search for "Al-Qatala members hiding underground." When the Metro becomes available, it will allow players to quickly travel between Verdansk Int. Airport, Lozoff Pass, Verdansk Center, Downtown/Tavorsk District, Barakett Shopping District, Verdansk Train Station, and Torsk Bloc. You can see the full service map below: Since this opens new places to explore on the map, there will also be new areas with Supply Boxes and loose loadout items to help your squad find the perfect gear. At the start of each Warzone match, the Metro will be open in certain areas that will vary each time. They all have the same layout, and can be accessed by h...

Resident Evil: Infinite Darkness Annonuced for Netflix

-
Netflix Portugal has released a new trailer for Resident Evil: Infinite Darkness, a new CG film featuring Claire Redfield, Leon S. Kennedy and more, and it's scheduled to be released in 2021. As of this writing, no other Netflix accounts have posted the trailer, so it's possible this was released before the official announcement was set to go live. Eu? Com medo? Não... Nada! pic.twitter.com/XuYcHRxZG0 — Netflix Portugal (@NetflixPT) September 26, 2020 No further information has been released as of yet, besides confirming the stars of Resident Evil 2 and its recent remake will most likely be the stars of the potential movie. This appears to be different than the previously confirmed live-action Resident Evil adaptation for Netflix that will focus on multiple timelines and sisters Jade and Billie Wesker. With this project and the upcoming Netflix live-action series, alongside Resident Evil Village planning a 2021 release date, the next year should be horrifyingly bright for ...

Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity - Breath of the Wild Bonus Item, Special Editions Revealed

-
Image
After revealing live gameplay footage  of the upcoming Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity for Nintendo Switch, Koei Tecmo producer Yosuke Hayashi, director Ryota Matsushita and producer Masaki Furusawa showed off a number of goods, both physical and virtual, that fans can get their hands on along with the game when it is released on November 20. For players with The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild save data on their Switch, Link will receive a special wooden training sword (below) which, when paired with a pot lid shield, will sometimes auto-guard enemy attacks. As a pre-order bonus for the downloadable version of Hyrule Warriors, Link will receive a soup ladle. Paired with a pot lid, it serves as a weapon but it can also be used to enhance other weapons as a "boost item". The fine print below the announcement stated that these items "might be sold as DLC after release." For those interested in actual merchandise, Hyrule Warriors in Japan has a special Treasure ...

Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity - First Gameplay Shows Young Impa, Combat and More

-
In a special livestream presented today at Tokyo Game Show 2020, Koei Tecmo revealed live gameplay of Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity on the Nintendo Switch, giving the world a glimpse of what kind of action to expect from Link, young Impa, and the four Champions of Hyrule from The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, the 2017 Nintendo game that this title serves as a prequel for. Play began with "The Battle of Hyrule Field" as Link, clad in armor instead of his blue Champion's Garb from the previous game, stood surrounded by the royal Hyrulian army. In Dynasty Warriors style, different character portraits popped into the corner of the screen delivering lore and directives. Link charged forward at full speed with no sign of a stamina meter in sight, offering no indication that he needs to walk at all when he can run everywhere – or surf, as a tap of a button sent him rocketing forward sliding atop his shield, knocking back enemies by the dozens.

Monster Hunter Rise: Gameplay Shows Off New Abilities, Combat and More

-
Capcom showed off an extended gameplay demo for Monster Hunter Rise at Tokyo Game Show, expanding on the Switch game's new abilities, combat, dog companions and more. Gameplay showed a Dual Blade-using player taking on a two-star quest to slay a Tetranadon, the platypus-like new beast introduced in the game's announcement . After fighting it for some time, we also saw an Arzuros enter the fray, showing how the game's open areas allow for unexpected extra monsters to interrupt your quest, and perhaps even cause fights between monsters. We also saw a non-boss creature based on Japanese tanuki, described as something like a mascot character. Like Monster Hunter World, the open areas also include endemic insect life, which can offer health boosts and buffs along the way to your prey. We got a good look at the game's new free-form movement, using a combination of jumps and the new Wirebug ability to climb buildings and even mountains. The Wirebug can be used twice in success...

Level-5 Shows First Gameplay of Ni no Kuni: Cross Worlds

-
At a special online presentation during Tokyo Game Show 2020 today, publisher Level-5 and developer Netmarble showed a few minutes of gameplay of their upcoming mobile RPG Ni no Kuni: Cross Worlds. The entire presentation was later uploaded to YouTube with English subtitles ("for a limited time" according to the official Twitter account ). Cross Worlds is a departure from the previous Ni no Kuni games, which used a traditional fantasy setting. Instead, Cross Worlds has a science-fiction twist: the player is a regular person in the "real" world of Ichi no Kuni (literally "one country") who is beta-testing a new virtual reality game called Soul Diver, which takes them into the world of Ni no Kuni. Five player classes have been revealed for Ni no Kuni Cross Worlds: Swordsman, Witch, Rogue, Destroyer and Engineer. In today's online presentation, popular Japanese YouTuber Masuo was able to begin a game as the Swordsman, although his in-game character look...

Earth Defence Force 6 and World Brothers: New Footage Shown at Tokyo Game Show

-
During a special livestream event at Tokyo Game Show 2020 , D3 Publisher producer Nobuyuki Okajima outlined what to expect from the upcoming Earth Defense Force spin-off title, World Brothers, and we got a brief look at the fully fledged Earth Defense Force 6. World Brothers will be released in Japan on December 24 for the PlayStation 4 and Nintendo Switch, while an "early 2021" release is planned for other territories. In a departure from past EDF games, which had semi-realistic giant insects attacking the planet, Earth Defense Force: World Brothers is entirely made of voxels. Even the Earth itself is now a cube, or at least it was until the Dark Legion arrived from space and blew it to bits. That was not the end of the battle though; the voxel Earth still exists as pieces floating in space, each segment a tiny environment unto itself. Okajima played through the game's tutorial level live on the stream (which you can watch below), where a gruff military commander on-scre...

How Scarlet Nexus Uses RPG Elements Alongside Action

-
In Scarlet Nexus – Bandai Namco’s anticipated title that is being developed for current-gen and next-gen consoles as well as PC – players will slay over-the-top monsters by combining sword attacks with extra-sensory powers in an insane SF “brain-punk” world. In IGN’s Gamescom preview, we called it a “ stylish, flashy, and edgy action-RPG ”. However, during IGN Japan’s Tokyo Game Show 2020 interview with producer Keita Iizuka and director Kenji Anabuki , we learned that there might be more to the RPG side of Scarlet Nexus than meets the eye. With Anabuki having worked on the Tales series for many years, this might not come as a surprise, and Iizuka says that while the game’s setting and battle system are completely new, he believes that Scarlet Nexus will be highly enjoyable for fans of the RPG genre. “Until now, we have mainly shown the game’s action parts, but of course there is also a rich story and you will be fighting along with other party members in typical RPG fashion.” [ign...

Cyberpunk 2077 Environment Designer Explains How His Team Built Night City

-
During a Cyberpunk 2077 livestream at Tokyo Game Show 2020, Hiroshi Sakakibara, Environment City Coordinator at CD Projekt Red, shed some light on the design behind the game’s principal location, Night City. Sakakibara is responsible for the visual appearance of Night City as part of the Environment Art team at CDPR, which he said is a somewhat large team of dozens of people that builds the game equivalent of what would be sets and props in a movie. The team is subdivided into three smaller groups – the quest location team which is in charge of creating locations for quests together with the game designers, a team that creates smaller scale items, like furniture and garbage cans, that dot the environments, and the city team led by Sakakibara, which brings Night City to life by designing the streets, buildings and more that you will see in this vibrant city. When asked for his favorite spot in Night City, Sakakibara said that while just picking one location is difficult, his favorite ar...

Microsoft's Complicated History With the Xbox In Japan (And its Plans for the Future)

-
Image
2020, as most of us are aware, is one of the most challenging years in living memory. The worldwide impact of COVID-19 has derailed globally-anticipated events like the 2020 Summer Olympics in Tokyo into next year. This week, the Tokyo Game Show has gone virtual for the first time since it was founded in 1996, transforming the usually public event that draws over 250 thousand people annually into a streaming event – like every other game show before it in 2020. By the time you read this, Microsoft and its Xbox platform will have embraced the challenge in Japan head-on, with a TGS-tailored introduction to the Xbox Series X and S courtesy of Phil Spencer, Executive VP of Gaming at Microsoft. Despite past struggles to win over the Japanese video game consumer, Microsoft has a plan to course correct. This generation, it will try to win over Japanese gamers with its most powerful (in the case of the Series X) and most affordable (in the case of the Series S) consoles ever, in combination w...

Naughty Dog has announced its plans for The Last of Us Day and it includes a TLoU board game, a vinyl soundtrack, and more. The Last of Us Day is what Naughty Dog is now calling what used to be known as Outbreak Day as the studio recently announced its plans to change the Last of Us Day's name from the latter to the former.

The first ever The Last of Us Day will take place on Sept. 26, and Naughty Dog's preview includes a number of announcements for upcoming merch, free PS4 themes, and more.

The Best Reviewed Games of 2020 (So Far)

Much like the last transitional year for console gaming in 2013 — a year that brought us Grand Theft Auto V, The Last of Us, and BioShock Infinite — 2020 has been a strong year for new games. With the first half of the year behind us, we've compiled a list of all 56 games that received a review score of 8 or higher from IGN.
