Noctis the undying Thanks to Square Enix, Noctis now takes up so many different forms that it’s getting hard to keep track. From his normal boy-band-hair-inspired self in the base game, ranging in various resolutions, to multiple games such asTekken 7andDissidia Final Fantasy NT, to even his chibi form in thePocket Editionor animated form in the anime series. Now, he’s becoming extra blocky, as he’s making his way toMinecraftwith theFinal Fantasy XVskin pack and he’s bringing his boys with him....

A code of conduct is way overdue One of the big complaints about some competitive games is how pro players aren’t held to a higher standard, or in some cases, any standard at all. As a frequent tournament watcher/goer I get it, they drive the game and provide valuable feedback, helping the scene in ways that aren’t always quantifiable. But in some cases, they’re able to get away with activities that a developer would otherwise ban a member of the general public for....

Claims it’s not too far away Speaking to PCGamesN, Phil Spencer has responded to the age old question of “will they or won’t they” for mouse and keyboard support on Xbox One. For the past year or so, Spencer has maintained that we will get it at some point. Now, he finally has some sort of timeline in mind. Spencer amusingly mentions his past trumpeting of the feature in his response, stating: “I keep talking about it in the press and my platform team keeps shaking their head, because they… Truthfully in our dev kit modes now keyboard works, mouse support is a little bit further away....

Free-for-all! A new battle mode was shown off at today’s Nintendo conference, and it’s called “Battle Royal.” It’s for up to four players at once, each of which bring three Pokemon to the battle. Battles happen with one Pokemon per trainer at a time, and it’s just as you’d expect: a free-for-all. They end with one player loses all three Pokemon. The game then tallies up points based on performance from the battle and declares a winner....

I am telling everyone to get their hands on a PlayStation Vita before passing judgement. Nothing kills me more than hearing that “it’s another PSP.” It’s not — it’s so much more. My personal mission has had me handing off my own personal unit to what has to be near 100 people now. I’ve wiped this baby down so many times that I’m surprised that the paint hasn’t worn off yet....

The PlayStation Vita is yet to reclaim any sort of traction in Japan, sinking to a brand new record low. It hit arecord low last week, beating arecord low from February. It is now playing sales limbo — how low can it go? This week, the PS Vita scrabbled to pull in 8,250 units, coming behind the 3DS (63,796), PS3 (17,765), and PSP (13,166). At least it was able to beat the five-year-old Wii, which scored6,837 sales....

The way I see it, there are two main crowds here: those who will go all out forRock Band 3, and those who are in it for the keyboard and new tracks. As revealed in an IGN interview with MTV Games’ Paul DeGooyer, those of us who don’t want Pro guitar in our downloadable songs won’t be required to pay extra. All DLC released forRock Band 3will “come with Pro Mode for keyboard and drums, harmony mode, etc....

It’s not a “goodbye,” just “see you later” Any video game that can be described as “cozy” is always a win for me, and nothing could be truer forSpiritfarer, the indie darling of a management sim and sandbox action game released by Thunder Lotus games last year. I got really sick last December, which is when I actually decided to pick it up and give it a try, and it was the ultimate comfort when I was feeling miserable....
