-

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...

Xbox Series X and S Insiders Getting Dolby Vision HDR Soon

-
Microsoft is starting to roll out Dolby Vision gaming to Xbox Series X and S consoles registered to users that are a part of the Xbox Insider's program. Microsoft's Larry 'Major Nelson' Hryb announced the news in a tweet today. According to Microsoft, the new feature means "brighter highlights, sharper contrast, and more vibrant colors" in games, as long as your next-gen console is connected to a TV that supports Dolby Vision. Dolby announced in September, ahead of both Xbox Series consoles' launch, that X and S would be "the first consoles to support the Dolby Vision HDR format with dynamic metadata for gaming" sometime in 2021. Both consoles already support HDR, but it's HDR10 - a less advanced standard for HDR video. Users enrolled in the Xbox Insider program will want to check the specs to make sure their TV supports the Dolby Vision HDR format, in addition to making sure their TV has installed the latest firmware update to take advantage of the features. [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2020/11/05/xbox-series-x-review"] This is not the first time members of the Xbox Insider Alpha ring have received access to test out the feature. In March, Forbes reported that Xbox Insiders noticed all HDR games were outputting Dolby Vision instead of only a select handful of games that were supposed to support the feature, with testers noticing improvements to various things brightness and color saturation in HDR games. Still, the feature was limited to a refresh rate of 60Hz, but the publication noted that TV manufacturers are working with Dolby to enable the standard to work at 120Hz. But it's unknown which games will currently support the feature during the initial alpha testing, and Microsoft has yet to say when the Dolby Vision standard will be available to all users. As with most Insider updates, the feature will be rolled out to select users first, with a general release likely to come a little way down the line after mass testing. We've recently seen Xbox roll out new Quick Resume features, as well as dropping certain Xbox Games With Gold requirements for Insiders before committing to the idea wholesale.
