-

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...

Hideo Kojima Says Kojima Productions Will Remain Independent After Tweeting PlayStation Studios Banner

-

Hideo Kojima mysteriously posted a photo of PlayStation Studios before clarifying that his studio will remain independent.

Around 1 pm in the afternoon Japan time, Kojima posted a picture of the PlayStation Studios banner with games from all of Sony's first-party studios and also Death Stranding. This cryptic tweet immediately kicked off speculation that Kojima Productions officially joined PlayStation Studios.

Kojima followed up 10 minutes later by clarifying Kojima Productions is still an independent company.

In a follow-up tweet, independently translated by IGN, Kojima writes, "I seem to have invited misinterpretation, but KojiPro has been and will continue to be an independent production studio."

IGN has reached out to Kojima Productions for further clarification.

Kojima Productions was founded in 2015 as an independent studio after previously being an in-house team within Konami, Kojima's previous company. To date the studio's only title remains Death Stranding, a game starring The Walking Dead's Norman Reedus as a porter who must walk across a post-apocalyptic United States to reunite the country.

With its post-modern aesthetic and cinematic storytelling, Death Stranding was peak Kojima, to divided critical reception. An expanded version for PlayStation 5 was later released for console and PC under the name Death Stranding Director's Cut.

A possible explanation for this tweet could be from Kojima Productions' already close relationship with Sony. Kojima announced his new studio alongside Sony at the 2015 PlayStation E3 presentation, and Death Stranding uses a version of Guerrilla Games' Decima Engine.

Speculation over new PlayStation acquisitions is at an all-time high and Sony is currently on a buying spree, having acquired teams like Housemarque and Valkyrie Entertainment. Sony also purchased Bungie, though the Destiny developer is not part of PlayStation Studios.
