Another resolution New Year’s. A time to relax with your family and your Christmas gifts, and of course…sate investors? Yep, a number of New Year’s Resolution pacts have been popping up across the web from publishers, and the latest is from Square Enix, in the form of a letter directly from president Yosuke Matsuda (yes the same Matsuda that’s appeared inFinal Fantasy XVpromotional materials andNieR: Automataas a boss). In the letter, he vows to look into several emergent technologies, including blockchain, cloud gaming and the next generation of consoles....
A Realm Reborn is still looking great If you haven’t had the chance to check out the recent beta events forFinal Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn, you’re able to get the next best thing with Square Enix’s recent string of videos, and most recently, this new developer walkthrough showcasing the area Eorzea. As I’ve said many times before, I wasn’t a big fan of vanillaXIV, but I’m loving the beta forA Realm Rebornso far, and I’m looking forward to checking it out later this year on PC, and eventually, the PS4....

To celebrate, I will be posting a trilogy ofFinal Fantasy-themed features all this week, each one focusing on a different aspect of what makes the series so gosh darn memorable. One thing that is refreshingly unique about theFinal Fantasyseries is that none of the main, numbered games are direct sequels to each other....
It’s time for Buster! For a good while, I was certain that the nextPower Rangersseries will Americanize the 2017Sentaiseries,Uchu Sentai Kyuranger. Considering that Bandai of America gave their input on the show’s designs, the signs were there. That, and its constellation and space themes could take advantage of theStar Warstrend. Lo and behold, Saban pulled an unexpected move for the upcoming season. In a surprising announcement at Hasbro’s New York Toy Fair 2018 panel, 2019’sPower Rangersseason shall be known asBeast Morphersand it’ll borrow stuff from the 2012 spy-themed series,Tokumei Sentai Go-Busters....

Double Fine is working on four games for THQ, and the first of those will be a game calledCostume Quest.

The co-op UI lacks important info at a glance Tiny Tina’s Wonderlandshas a glaring issue with the way item summaries are displayed in split-screen co-op compared to solo play, and I hate to see it. In an otherwisepretty fun, comfort-food sort of co-op experience, it’s unfortunate that it’s a total slog to figure out which loot — aka the driving force ofBorderlands— is worth equipping or ditching. It’s kind of hard to fully articulate the issue without visual aids, but I noticed something was off, and I poked around online to see if anyone else was feeling similarly (and if they had figured out a possible workaround; no dice)....
Fron-tears of a clown Capcom is so dandy when it comes to giving fans what they ask for. And by dandy, I mean it’s some kind of videogame developerWishmastergiddily slapping its fans across their faces with its slimy tendril dreadlocks and ironic punishments. “Want a brand spanking newBreath of Fire?” Capcom asks. “Well here you go,” Capcom says, cackling into the night. You’ll have to tell me where this Tokyo Game Show announcement falls on the spectrum, but I feel confident leaning towards, “Um, why notMonster Hunter 4?...
What is this, a charity? It isn’t exactly breaking news thatMetal Gear Surviveincludes microtransactions, but it seems that Konami has really outdone itself with this one. When startingSurvive, you’ll need to create a character to play with. This character will occupy the single save slot the game comes with.Starting a newcharacter meanseither deletingyour first one or ponying up for another save slot. While that is ridiculous, the actual price makes it even more insulting....
Plus a new look at Green Lantern Injustice: Gods Among Us‘ fighterroster was fully revealednot too long ago, and some of the last characters we have yet to see in action were Killer Frost and Ares. Well not anymore as you may see them duke it out in this new trailer. Not really digging Killer Frost’s design, but loving the armor Ares is wearing. Warner Bros. also released another video showing off Green Lantern....
Maybe we’ll review this trailer Chris already briefed you on theDying Lightreview situation. It’s grim, bleak, and kind of desperate — a lot like a real zombie apocalypse, I guess. Good job, Techland; you’ve achieved perfect thematic #synergy. Even though this trailer maybe makesDying Lightlook really fantastically super-neat, you should probably wait until some media outlets, video personalities, friends, or whoever you trust gives you their opinion. Rushing off to the store to buy this day one is a lot like the opening seconds of this trailer — a leap of faith....
