Appealing to many in the RPG fanbase. Life in the video game industry isn’t always the “straight path” that many people would expect it to be. In the case of Hironobu Sakaguchi, he is the creator of one of the most legendary RPG franchises ever. So, you’d think he’d stay with Square Enix and ensure that his franchise endured and that he could keep making games with them. Instead, he left to go do his own thing and create new RPG experiences. In 2021, he created Fantansian Neo Dimension for mobile systems, and it was well received. Now, in 2024, he’s bringing that game to the console, and many are excited about it.

Developers on the project have decided there is nothing left for them to do. We’re all counting down the days for the upcoming Silent Hill 2 remake. We know it’s coming our way next month, and while fans are eager for it, those who have been cherishing their time with the original release had a fan project to keep them satisfied. Silent Hill 2: Enhanced Edition has been something fans have been able to take advantage of on the PC platform for a good while now. However, thanks to Bloody Disgusting, we’re discovering that the team working on the project has decided to wrap up production.

Silent Hill 2: Enhanced Edition Has One Last Update Available

Despite the release of a potential “Game of the Year” winner on PS5, there are still plenty of big games coming out in 2024 that gamers should look forward to. The one that Ubisoft hopes resonates with everyone is Assassin’s Creed Shadows. The next major entry in the beloved franchise is aiming to go big with its Feudal Japan storyline, dual protagonists that gamers can enjoy playing, and new elements that are meant to help move the series forward gameplay-wise. However, if you recall, not everyone was on board with the title when it was fully showcased, and that led to questions about how well it would do.

Assassin’s Creed Shadows Pre-Orders Are Apparently “Strong”

The Legend Of Zelda Echoes Of Wisdom is coming out in just over three weeks, and the anticipation for it is growing with every in-depth dive and trailer that drops. Having a title focused on Princess Zelda is something that not many expected in 2024, yet it follows in the path of a certain other Princess getting her due earlier in the year. Just like in that other title, the game isn’t trying to simply make a “cut and paste” title with a new protagonist. Instead, all-new game mechanics are being crafted to ensure that the title feels unique and that Zelda comes across as a true hero with her own skills.

The gaming industry, in many people’s eyes and minds, is currently teetering on the edge of disaster. The reason for this is obvious to anyone who has seen the news over the last eight months. First, the AAA games that should bring in “millions upon millions” of sales aren’t always doing that. This leads to the second reason for the issue, which is the numerous layoffs and “shifts in focus” within both developers and publishers due to the lack of profits they’re getting in titles. While many have thoughts on this, Live Service Games are the titles that many point to when it comes to things that are “ruining the industry.”

Have Live Service Games Killed The “Indie Revolution?”

There are plenty of reasons not to be a fan of the PS5 right now. The biggest reason that most games cite is that while there are some “big hits” on the platform, they don’t come out frequently enough, and Sony has a bad habit of promoting the wrong games instead of the ones that should get more of a focus. If you look at the PlayStation 5’s overall sales, you’ll see that they’re a bit behind the PS4, and that could grow in distance as time goes on. So, what is there to be happy about with the system? Well, after a certain review embargo drop, they have one accolade they can celebrate.

If you’re like me, you’ll find this story fascinating. I love looking back at the history of how video games and hardware came to be. A lot of trial and error goes into these projects. Likewise, you might be surprised by how some of these projects initially started out before being morphed into their commercial release counterpart. Today, we’re finding out that a YouTuber managed to get their hands on an Xbox controller prototype.

As expected, Sony isn’t skimping on the celebration. In a new post to the official PlayStation Blog, Sony Interactive Entertainment has revealed some early details about the upcoming 30th anniversary of PlayStation, including some of the events scheduled to take place. The original PlayStation console officially went on sale on December 3, 1994.

Honestly, they better have secured those rights. Sony has reportedly secured the rights to Grand Theft Auto 6.

It would make sense if it was. As we’ve covered on this website quite a bit, people are making all kinds of claims about the upcoming Nintendo Switch 2, and it makes it a bit hard to understand what is real, what is fake, and what is just speculation. For example, you might recall an earlier article about how the upcoming console will have a potentially big announcement dropped soon. What that announcement may be, we don’t know, but it’s got many people buzzing. In fact, after that story dropped, another one came out to take on a little extra info about the new system, information that has to do with the games you can play on it.

There is never any shortage when it comes to various rumors and leaks in the video game industry. We have big events that roll out each year, and we know there are planned world premiere reveals and announcements for them. However, there are also smaller bite-sized events, such as Sony PlayStation’s State of Play. A new rumor suggests a big reveal is planned next week before Sony’s scheduled State of Play event.

10:10 Games sheds a little more light on their upcoming title. Funko Pop! is a massive toy line spanned across countless franchises. However, we will soon get a game from the talented team based on this toy line from 10:10 Games called Funko Fusion. We know this is an action-adventure game with a bunch of crossovers. So, while we’re already intrigued, we had some questions about what we could expect. Fortunately, we had the privilege to speak with Arthur Parsons, the co-founder, Design Director, and Head of Publishing at 10:10 Games.

“Doom” is a rather unique word in the gaming space. Not only is it the name of a beloved F.P.S. shooter that will be getting a new title next year, but it’s a word that honestly very rarely describes a brand-new game before its launch. After all, there are some games that surprise people with how well they do, or how quality they are upon launch. It’s okay to be surprised by these things! However, when it came to Sony’s live-service shooter Concord, fans knew from the beginning that this game wasn’t going to do well, and those thoughts turned out to be prophetic.

Concord Getting Love From Both Dev Team And Other Developers

Do you still remember Fairgame$? We would not be surprised if you would admit here that you never heard of it, or completely forgot about it. Fairgame$ is slated to be the debut title from Montreal based video game company Haven Studios. Haven was founded by Jade Raymond in 2021, and was acquired by Sony shortly thereafter. We covered the Fairgame$ announcement back in the May 2023 PlayStation Showcase. This is a co-op heist game, similar to the Payday franchise, but with an added PvPvE element. Teams of players take on elaborate traps and labyrinths to steal cash from millionaires. While they will fight NPCs protecting those ridiculously large safes, they will also fight other teams for these prizes.

Rumor: Internal Chatter In Sony Is “Fairly Positive” For Fairgame$

The talk about the upcoming Nintendo Switch 2 console is almost never-ending, and it’s not hard to see why. First and foremost, the current Switch console is doing fantastically, even with its seventh year of life and no one having the biggest expectations for it entering 2024. Despite that, the system has dropped great games, with more on the way, has done well in hardware sales, and is close to breaking all-time records. However, that still means that people are waiting for the “big news” about the follow-up and what Nintendo will do with it. To that end, there might be some rumblings going on…
