Good, because I am never buying a 4K TV anyways One of the things that’s been sold to us since the new PS4 hardware was first referred to as “PS4K” is that 4K is cool and good and part of some inevitable future. It’s definitely been a talking point for Microsoft’s newly announced “Project Scorpio,” a powerful new Xbox One that is coming holiday 2017, so you have a year and a half to get all the juice from your Xbox One S....

The more I see, the less I’m into it With a month of reveals lined up, more footage ofSonic Frontierssurfaced today onIGN, and this time, combat is the focus with six minutes of drawn-out robot encounters. If you haven’t seen it yet, it’s worth watching yesterday’sopen-world exploration and puzzle gameplay first— you kind of need to see both sides of the coin. Even then… I’ll just come right out with it: the entire vibe seems extremely weird with this open-world game, to the point where I’m struggling to picture how all of these pieces will fit together to form a satisfying, lively experience....

Studio Istolia disbanded Delisted videos. Missing social media accounts. A landing page that redirects to the publisher’s main website. If these sound like signs that a game is easing itself out of existence, you’d be right. Two years ago, we learned about an all-new fantasy RPG for PS4 calledProject Prelude Runeand its newfound creator, Studio Istolia. The team was formed under Square Enix and led by high-profileTalesseries producer Hideo Baba. Those details were attention-grabbing at first, but there wasn’t much follow-up....

It’ll have that font and everything Sony released a teaser trailer announcing that PlayStation VR will be a getting an “experience” soon based upon everyone’s favourite “Have you watched it yet?” Netflix show,Stranger Things. The teaser, frankly, is little more than an animated announcement. As such, it doesn’t really tell us anything. The news comes during a week where PlayStation VR has seen a real resurgence in upcoming projects, with multiple new titles announced atSony’s Paris conferencefor the immersive 3D hardware....

At least four more episodes about that awkward 2nd stage [Update:The first of this new batch of episodes rolls out on Machinima on Sunday the 17th at 8am. Watch for them here, with a little mini-editorial on classism in gaming.] Thepilot forTeenage Pokemonpremiered back in December. I was taken aback by the response. The range of emotions that the show elicited was pretty amazing. We’ve taken everything we’ve learned from way the pilot was received (among other things), and put it all into making four more episodes of the show....

Even though we’re close to the worldwide release date of November 20th, Square Enix has let out very little information on its upcoming Xbox 360 role-playing gameThe Last Remnant. Other than scant details on the storyline and the fact that it uses the Unreal Engine, we’re still in the dark. That’s why we were glad to see a very large, two-tiered play area forThe Last Remnanthere at TGS. Waiting in the ridiculously long line, we were able to watch screens that displayed beautiful footage of wispy haired pretty people, massive beam cannons and megaton explosions, all which got us excited while we waited....

AlthoughDC Universe Online‘s next DLC pack,The Last Laugh, is primarily a PvP pack, that doesn’t mean SOE aren’t throwing money at voice actors for it. Adam Baldwin and Arleen Sorkin return to lend their vocal stylings to Superman and Harley Quinn respectively. Joining them is the only man who should ever voice The Joker, Mark Hamill. After wantingto go out with a banginArkham City, it’s strange to see him going back toDCUO....

A demo is coming in the next few weeks Futurama: Hit & Runnever existed officially (that wasSimpsons: Hit & Run), but this fan made video is just a good job of convincing me it did! From the mind of Slurm Team, this project is actually a total conversion mod with “all fully from scratch 3D models,” with the intention of crafting it like it was an expansion for the originalHit & Run....

From ‘Hannuki’ Maria “Hannuki” Hanna really knows her cosplay, and this photo shoot ofThe Witcher 3‘s Yennefer is no exception. My favorite part is probably the set design — it makes me feel like the Witcher academy actually exists. Now I just have the itch to go back and play it again. With the rumor that the second and final DLCwill be out in June, it seems like a perfect time....

AlthoughWar of the Rosesonly just came out this week, Paradox Interactive is already deeming this a successful launch.
