Koei Tecmo’s Dynasty Warriors series, while strong on its own, has also been the perfect pairing with a handful of other franchises. It turns out that beating down hundreds of enemies in the worlds of Zelda, Persona, and many more, is a heck of a lot of fun. Luckily, Koei Tecmo has every intention of continuing to make collaboration games, according to its latest earnings call, and there are a few long-overlooked ideas that should finally get their moment.

All the Biggest News From Gamescom 2024, So Far

RPGs have been some of the most popular video games for decades. From Final Fantasy to Baldur’s Gate, players love being immersed in fantastical worlds where they can be the hero. It might sound simple, but that idea is a core tenet of what makes video games so special. But so many of those experiences simply wouldn’t exist without one pivotal game — Dragon Quest. While it’s far from the first RPG, Dragon Quest was a seminal game that completely redefined the genre at large, and kickstarted console RPGs as we know them. Video games today quite simply wouldn’t be the same without it.

The outer solar system is awash with liquid water. A briny ocean is concealed beneath the icy crust of Jupiter’s fourth largest moon, Europa — with more water than all of Earth’s oceans combined. A subsurface sea on Saturn’s moon, Enceladus, spews plumes of water vapor into space. And there are tantalizing hints that oceans could exist on Ganymede, Callisto, Titan and other distant moons, too.

Preview | With one foot in the past and another in 2024, Silent Hill 2 Remake is squaring up against its biggest challenge: balancing the two

It’s been over a decade since Guillermo del Toro delivered his take on classic kaiju flicks with Pacific Rim — and Legendary Entertainment is still trying to recreate its magic. In many ways, Pacific Rim was the anti-blockbuster: its schlock and spectacle almost seemed like a means to an end for del Toro. The 2013 film used its sci-fi conceit — that of giant mechs fighting even bigger monsters — to explore something that transcends words, the concept of soulmates. Of course, it resorted to some fairly elaborate worldbuilding to do so. Clunky exposition aside, Pacific Rim deserved to become the next big genre franchise; it’s just taken a few attempts to get it right.

Oak trees accumulate more wood when there is more carbon dioxide (CO₂) in the atmosphere. That’s the key finding from our new study, carried out in a long-established forest in Staffordshire, England, that we have turned into a huge field experiment by injecting with extra CO₂. After we increased CO₂ levels to what will be the planetary level in the 2050s, trees took more of it from the atmosphere and their wood production increased by 10 percent.

Years of research point to a link between meat and type 2 diabetes. But these studies aren’t perfect — many of them focus on North American and European populations, leaving out more diverse groups of people. And, they tend to stick to red and processed meat while ignoring other animal products like poultry. A new study strived to fill in those gaps, and found that poultry isn’t the healthy alternative it’s often considered.

It’s been 51 years since William Friedkin’s The Exorcist changed the face of horror cinema, and Hollywood has been trying to make lightning strike twice ever since. Various Exorcist sequels were made over the ensuing decades, and they have ranged from good (The Exorcist III) to interesting (the Fox TV series) to truly baffling (Exorcist II: The Heretic.) Last year's The Exorcist: Believer tried to revive the entire franchise. Instead, it was a critical flop, resulting in the scrapping of a planned trilogy in favor of yet another reboot.
