Show me what you’ve got. What you see in the video above is the result of just 15 minutes of getting acclimated to the remaster on PS4. So far so good! It feels weird playingTony Hawkwith new physics (whether it’s previous remasters or new iterations), but Vicarious Visions really had a handle on the original games when translating this new version. There are small kinks: times where you’re like “I totally nailed that trick!...

Thanks to the power of crowd funding, it will soon become a reality. The team behind the project have announced that the first wave of Android-powered consoles will be making their way out into the world at large. An early version of the device will be shipping on December 28th....

Hello? Is thing on? Jim usually delivers the Free App of the Day, but he’s not around so I’ll try not to break this post while I’m using it. Man, it’s a little hard to steer. I won’t lie. Most of the time when I read Jim’s posts on these I never actually download the game because I’m lazy and already have enough things to play. This time will be no different, except for the fact that the reason I’m not downloading it is because I already boughtPuzzle Questand it’s awesome....

Sonic-esque action-platformer coming to eShop Hey Wii U owners. Does an action platformer that borrows heavily fromSonic the Hedgehog, but avoids those infuriating spike walls that punish you for going fast sound interesting? Then you might be interested to hear thatFreedom Planetis coming to Wii U. Already available on PC and Mac, the game is apparently coming to the Wii U eShop “soon.” We don’t know how soon that is, but there is a freePC and Mac demoavailable if you want to give it a look....

Wake up, Mr. Freeman Half-Life 3has become a bit of a running gag in the video game industry. With either perpetual delays or work never being started, the fate of the series is completely unknown at this point. We basically could throw out ludicrous ideas and be at the same general position that Valve is. Half-Life 2writer Marc Laidlaw recently had an interview withArcade Attackwhere he talks about what his plans would have been for any sequels and how he would foresee the eventualHalf-Life 3to take place....

The Steam Early Access program has played host to a whole slew of big wins as of late. There wasthe sudden release ofHades 2, obviously, butGloomwood, too, is getting abig new update. Then we have two new 1.0 releases:Dread DelusionandSongs of Conquest! It’s the latter I’m most interested in right now, of course.

I wonder if Sony will scoop him up Konami used to bemon amibut now? More likenon ami. Does French use “non” or is that just Italian? I don’t know any more French, let alone something that rhymes with Konami. Anyways a recentNew Yorkerpiece has pinned down venerable game director Hideo Kojima’s official departure from Konami, as well as when he can start making another game. There was supposedly, “a rather cheerful but also emotional goodbye” departure ceremony on October 9 attended by about a hundred people, though notably absent were Konami’s president, Hideki Hayakawa, and its CEO, Sadaaki Kaneyoshi — or, at least, the anonymous source didn’t see the two big wigs there....

Hope you like losing 30% to one button It’s been a few weeks now sinceSamurai Shodownreleased with a wicked vengeance. As I’ve been playing it and following tournament videos, even two weeks out, there’s a lot of stuff to be discovered in a new entry to a series that hasn’t been around for years. It’s a no-brainer that debate is still too early for tiers, but I’ve found a few characters to be interesting to follow, such as newcomer Yashamaru rising in interest, and Genjuro being unanimously considered the best when it comes to tools and options....

The Dawning has returned toDestiny 2, and with it come sometreats, old and new! Rhymes aside, players diving into the returning yearly holiday event will find themselves baking treats for NPCs and tossing snowballs. But before Guardians can kick the winter-time celebration off, they’ll need to complete The Dawning quest. Each year, The Dawning begins with a quest of the same name. This introductory quest reacquaints players with the event’s unique mechanics and teaches newcomers how to participate if they haven’t before....

There are many unique achievements you can tackle inMarvel Rivals, all of which help you unlock new rewards. Many of these tasks don’t give you all the information you need to get them done, which makes completing them a bit tricky, as is the case with Whispers in Pieces. This task can seem daunting if you’re unsure where you need to go and what you need to do, but it’s a fairly easy one to knock out once you have all of the information you need....

Not worth nearly as much as Bison Dollars Capcom’sStreet Fighter 6sees the return of “Zenny” the much-maligned Itchy & Scratchy money that made its debut in the early days ofStreet Fighter V, before quietly sinking without trace. InStreet Fighter 6,Zenny has nothing at all to do with real purchases, and is, in fact, the currency utilized specifically in the single-player World Tour mode. Essentially, it’s the currency of theSFuniverse. In Street Fighter 6 World Tour, Zenny is used to purchase all items for said mode....

Corrupted Soul is a pretty important item you may find inA Universal Time, and following the AUT 4.2 update, the importance has gone up. This specific item is required for certain functions. For instance, if you want to obtain the reworked Umbra Ability inside the game, you’ll need to get the Corrupted Soul to complete the process. Needless to say, it’s not an easy item to obtain. Let’s take a look at how to get it insideA Universal Time....
