God of War: Ragnarok might be one of the first games to be solely next gen. Depending, as it often does, on how you interpret a CEO’s comments in an interview. Sony CEO Jim Ryan was interviewed by the Telegraph recently, and was asked about the decisions leading up to the PS5 launch and the brand’s future. You can read here about why he thinks $70 is a perfectly reasonable price for new games....
Sony shocked the crowd at E3 2016 by not only revealing a new God of War title, but confirming how much different the experience looked from past games. A grizzled and bearded Kratos was now in Norse territory, using a new axe weapon and guiding a small child which turned out to be his son, Atreus. Through the campaign, players are able to shape the young Atreus through various choices which director Cory Barlog likens to being a parent....
A Sony spokesperson has confirmed that despite rumors suggesting the contrary, God of War is not currently in line to be adapted into a TV show or film. There was a time not too long ago when turning TV shows and movies into video games, and vice versa, almost always resulted in a sub-par product. As has been proved by Detective Pikachu, Sonic the Hedgehog, and The Witcher, that is no longer the case....
With Godzilla Vs. Kong crashing into theatres next month, it seems like a pretty good time to take a step back from the franchise to take a look at the often forgotten stand-alone remake of the 1933 original, King Kong (2005), co-written, produced, and directed by the one and only Peter Jackson. Following the massive success of The Fellowship of the Ring and The Two Towers, and shortly before Jackson wrapped post-production on Return of the King, Universal Pictures approached him about reviving his vision for a remake of the Hollywood classic, having tried and failed to convince studios to support the project due to the surprising over-abundance of monkey-related movies being released in the late 1990s (Planet of the Apes, Mighty Joe Young), not to mention the much-maligned Godzilla in 1998....
Google’s Stadia service has seen a lot of upsets in just 2021 alone. From the closure of its main game studio to the departure of many executives, it’s not hard to think that Google is gearing up to shut down the service at any given moment. Certain corners of the internet would be happy about that, but Google isn’t throwing in the towel just yet. In fact, according to a new interview with GamesIndustry....
Ultimate Team has been a fan-favorite game mode in FIFA ever since it was integrated into the series a few years ago. FUT allows players to purchase cards and card packs in order to assemble a customized squad, and the popular FIFA game mode has been an outstanding success for EA, making over $500,000,000 per year 3 years ago. Today, Electronic Arts released its Team Of The Year card packs, allowing gamers to pick up limited edition card packs to try to get the year’s most overpowered cards....
Another round of games is leaving Game Pass soon, including well-known additions like Final Fantasy 15. Microsoft’s subscription service Game Pass cycles through titles consistently, but some of the games leaving soon may be surprising. For a monthly subscription, players can access a diverse catalog of games from many publishers, like Microsoft and Electronic Arts. While some of the titles available are the ultimate experiences, like Halo: The Master Chief Collection, Game Pass comes with limits....
Final Fantasy 7 features a number of creative and unique characters, but few are as odd and mysterious as Cait Sith. This crazy cat rides a stuffed moogle, carries a horn, and behaves like a madman, making him an odd duck in the roster. Here’s 10 things you never knew about Cait Sith, which hopefully sheds a little light on both his character and his backstory. 10 YOU’VE PROBABLY BEEN PRONOUNCING HIS NAME WRONG While many see the character’s name and pronounce it “kate sith,” this might be incorrect....
The original Final Fantasy VII is considered one of the greatest video games of all time, but hard? While the game does have a reasonably engaging difficulty curve, FFVII allows the player to get away with quite a bit. An emphasis on customization through Materia and a strong party all around results in most of Final Fantasy VII offering some weak boss fights. While Final Fantasy VII’s boss fights might fall on the easy for the franchise, there are a key few bosses in FFVII that really test what the player is capable of....
The Final Fantasy 7 Remake was easily one of the biggest games of 2020, the product of 15 years of buildup that brought an all-time great from 1997 to the 21st century. Even if it’s still not clear how many parts the game will be divided into, the FF7 Remake will surely take a large part of Square Enix’s time in the near future. Though unlikely for now, FF7 Remake’s success does beg the question: are any other titles in the series that may one day get the remake treatment?...
Final Fantasy VII Remake is a pretty easy game. Some of the boss battles can get intense, but the “dungeons” are very linear. That linearity was one of our reviewer’s few gripes with the game, and has invited some comparisons to Final Fantasy XIII. That said, there are still a few environmental puzzles that hide rewards. One in Chapter 6 rewards a Summon Materia that you won’t want to miss....
One of the wackiest and most memorable moments from the original version of Final Fantasy VII was undoubtedly the scene at Don Corneo’s mansion where Cloud puts on a dress in order to rescue Tifa. As such, many fans were excited to see exactly how the remake would tackle it, and Square Enix definitely didn’t disappoint. Not only does the scene return, but it does so in such a way as to give players a certain level of control over what each character is wearing....
It took a long time, but the Fire Emblem series found an audience outside of Japan. No one was more surprised by this than Toshiyuki Kusakihara, who has worked on many of the modern Fire Emblem games and has expressed surprise concerning the series’ international success. The first game in the Fire Emblem series was released for the Famicom in 1990, where it became one of the earliest entries in the tactical RPG genre....
Rhea is an interesting part of the Three Houses narrative experience. She plays an integral part throughout the story, and depending on the route you choose she can either be an ally, villain or non-factor throughout the second half of the narrative. Regardless, Rhea is one of the most intriguing characters in the game. An integral piece throughout the story, Rhea has many sides to her. She can be kind and understanding, but is also shown to be quite severe and ruthless at times as well....
As the days begin to dwindle until the arrival of WWE 2K18 this October, anticipation continues to build. As is usually the case, 2K Games has left fans chomping at the bit to try out the newest installment by taking its sweet time releasing new details, opting to slowly drip roster and feature details – all of which began to drop following the reveal of Seth Rollins as the cover star for WWE 2K18....
Although it seems obvious, the value of having at least one reliable goalscorer cannot be understated. Managers can spend an endless amount of time fine-tuning their tactical approach, training routines, and set pieces, but if the team is struggling to find the back of the net, it can all be for nothing. The importance of goalscorers for a team has unsurprisingly meant that strikers are historically the most expensive players on the pitch....
Fortnite has had a number of impressive collaborations, including team-ups with Nerf, Marvel, and Monopoly.

Fortnite made the TikTok-inspired “Rollie” emote available in its in-game cosmetic shop just a few hours after a data miner leaked information indicating that the emote would be released during Season 4. Twitter user @Lucas7yoshi, who has earned a reputation for reliable Fortnite leaks, was the first to uncover the decrypted emote. Fortnite choosing to release “Rollie” is likely based on the popularity of a fairly recent TikTok trend where users would record themselves dancing to Ayo & Teo’s Rolex, which came out in 2017....
Fortnite recently saw a new update that changed up the gameplay quite a bit by adding vehicles for players to drive during matches. Luckily, finding and driving cars in Fortnite is easy and seamless following the Joyride update. However, it seems that a new future update for Fortnite may have leaked online. The update in question seems like it might be another crossover event with Marvel, this time focusing on or including the Avenger Thor and the villain Galactus....
The fifth season of Fortnite allows gamers with a Battle Pass to unlock a basketball and shoot it as an emote, so it was only a matter of time until players started to get creative with their new hoop-shooting skills. Yesterday, a Fortnite player named Elliot Fox teamed up with a few of his friends and designed a platform that allowed them to sink a basket from over 500 meters away....
