-

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...

God of War: Ragnarok Has a New Director, Cory Barlog Working on Unannounced Projects

-

Cory Barlog has revealed that he won't be returning to direct Santa Monica Studio's upcoming Norse heavyweight God of War: Ragnarök. Instead, the latest installment to God of War will feature series veteran Eric Williams in the director's seat, while Barlog is moving on to work on other unannounced projects.

In an interview aired as part of the recent PlayStation Showcase, Santa Monica Studios pair Cory Barlog and Eric Willaims confirmed the reshuffle in leadership on the new title, explaining that changing directors has always been a feature of how things are done at the studio.

“It’s always been a tradition here at Santa Monica, to change the directors across the games," said Williams, who has been at the studio since 2004. "We’ve had really good success with that. Cory is the only repeat director and, you know, rightfully so: he’s pretty damn good at what he does.”

Barlog further expanded on the studio's decision to change directors between iterations of the franchise talking further about the need for fresh perspectives and the tole that directing a game like God of War can have on a person.

"The important thing for us is to get a fresh perspective each time but also a fresh pair of legs in the sense that you're really exhausted at the end of finishing one of these things. So you've got to con somebody else into doing it - like him."

Elsewhere in the interview, Barlog was hesitant to offer much insight into what he'd be doing instead of working on God of War: Ragnarök. When asked about what projects he's working on, the Sony Santa Monica studio creative director said, "Oh you'd like that wouldn't you, you'd like me to just spill the beans and tell you everything that's going on right now. We're actually doing a bunch of stuff, it's really exciting... but I don't really have anything I can talk about right now specifically, mostly because we’re really focused on God of War Ragnarök."

God of War: Ragnarök is set to release in 2022 for both PS4 and PS5. For more on the series, why not check out our full detailed look at God of War: Ragnarök where we talk about the different characters set to join the God of War franchise and what's next for Kratos and his son.
