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...

Rust Console Edition Release Date Announced for PS4 and Xbox One

-
Rust, the competitive online multiplayer survival game that was first released in early access on PC in 2013, is officially coming to PlayStation 4 and Xbox One (and PS5 and Xbox Series X/S via backward compatibility) on May 21, 2021. The announcement was revealed alongside a new trailer and a blog post by developer Double Eleven that details the differences between Rust Console Edition and Facepunch Studios' PC version. [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2021/03/26/rust-console-edition-trailer"] While Rust Console Edition is obviously based on the PC version, it has been "designed and optimised for a completely separate and unique console player experience." Double Eleven had been in talks with Facepunch since 2016 about the idea of creating this console version, and the teams knew early on that the two games would "need to be in separate universes given that the PC edition can expand as it needed to, and performance would be maintained so long as people continued to upgrade their hardware, while consoles on the other hand have finite resources that need to be more closely managed." Performance was the team's "biggest and most demanding challenge" and Double Eleven needed to "rip apart and rewrite major engine subsystems within Unity" to get it up to standards. [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2021/03/11/17-minutes-of-rust-ps4-pro-gameplay"] Load times were also a big issue, and the team explained how initial load times took up to 45 minutes to read and decompress the procedural map and its assets into memory. By implementing a new bootstrap system that would allow for the loading of multiple Unity scenes and asset bundles simultaneously, the game now loads "in around one minute give or take." The team also decided to pick a point in Facepunch's code base that served as a good foundation, and decided it would rebuild some of the more advanced features once a solid base on which to build was established. This means that Rust Console Edition will follow its own update roadmap that differs from the PC version that will "provide an optimal player experience while gradually introducing players to the vast amount of game play and content that makes Rust an incredible experience." [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2018/02/23/rust-review"] While Double Eleven isn't quite ready to reveal the roadmap, the studio promises some of it will be shown closer to the release of the game in May. The developer did reveal that Rust Console Edition will be getting a Deluxe and Ultimate Edition which include Beta access in April 2021, 3-days early access, and more.
