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...

Get The Legend of Zelda Nintendo Game and Watch Ahead of the Holidays

-
If you missed out on Nintendo Game & Watch: The Legend of Zelda Edition preorders, it's not too late. You can still get your hands on this absolutely delightful collectible from Nintendo, for yourself or as a gift for the holidays. In my Game & Watch: Legend of Zelda review , I pretty much gush over it the entire time. It's exactly the sort of collectible that appeals to me: it's not terribly expensive, it has cool and interesting features, and it just feels like a loving tribute rather than a cheap cash grab. Preorder the Nintendo Game & Watch: The Legend of Zelda Edition As stated in the product description, the Nintendo Game & Watch Legend of Zelda edition includes the first two NES games, the Game Boy version of Link's Awakening, and a reimagined version of Vermin starring Link. You can also play "the English or Japanese versions" of the included games. There are some notable musical differences between the Japanese and English versi...

Bandai Namco Entertainment Europe has acquired Montreal studio Reflector Entertainment, which recently revealed its game Unknown 9: Awakening during Gamescom Opening Night Live 2020.

Sony Won't Put Its New First-Party Games On A Subscription Service Because It's Not 'Sustainable'

-
Sony has said that the company doesn't plan to bring its new first-party games to a Game Pass-like subscription service because it wouldn't be "sustainable." Sony Interactive Entertainment CEO Jim Ryan broke the news in an interview with GamesIndustry.Biz.  The interview noted the surprising reveal of the PlayStation Plus Collection during the PS5 conference , which will bring a library of the PS4's best games to the console, available to PlayStation Plus subscribers for free. In light of this news, Ryan was asked whether PlayStation might follow Microsoft's lead in bringing all of its future first-party games to a subscription service upon the day of release. [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2020/09/16/ps5-release-date-trailer"] "For us, having a catalogue of games is not something that defines a platform," Ryan told GamesIndustry.Biz. "Our pitch, as you've heard, is 'new games, great games.' We have had this conv...

WRC 9 Review

-
In comparison to last year’s big jump in quality with WRC 8, WRC 9 is a more modest lurch forwards. Several great new rallies have been added and it does feel like there’s been a bit of massaging under the hood – with a better sense of car mass and weight transfer – but elsewhere things seem fairly similar. This makes WRC 9 a thoroughly excellent entry point into the series, especially for rally fans who aren’t aware of the rapid and remarkable improvement of the official WRC series since developer KT Racing took over in 2015. However, if you already own last year’s game you may crave a little more than WRC 9 has to offer. [ignvideo width=610 height=374 url=https://ift.tt/2FI342l] WRC 9 is a slightly peculiar experience, as it’s found itself in a similar position to Codemasters’ F1 2020. That is, thanks to the long-haul nature of video game development and a global pandemic, it’s ended up shipping with a bunch of events that were already stripped from the real calendar long before laun...

Every Monster Hunter Review Ever - Including Stories

-
Monster Hunter was a fairly niche franchise since its inception in 2004, at least, until Monster Hunter: World was released with massive success. Now we know two more Monster Hunter games are coming to the Nintendo Switch in 2021: Monster Hunter Rise and Monster Hunter Stories 2: Wings of Ruin . Monster Hunter Rise seems like a blend between classic Monster Hunter with some new features introduced in Monster Hunter: World. IGN has given the Monster Hunter franchise multiple 8s and a few 9s. Even Monster Hunter Tri, with its controversial water combat, earned an 8.8! Check out every Monster Hunter review in the slideshow below. [widget path="global/article/imagegallery" parameters="albumSlug=every-ign-monster-hunter-review&captions=true"] Which Monster Hunter was your favorite?
