Final Fantasy 16’s director, Hiroshi Takai, has confirmed that the game won’t feature an airship, boat, or car of any kind and that traversal will mainly be done by foot or by chocobo. From what we’ve seen of Final Fantasy 16 so far, it seems to be taking the series in a very different direction compared to other numbered games. This has been made clear from the game’s more serious tone, but it’s also been made clear by how much more linear Final Fantasy 16 is going to be,with the game’s producer previously confirming that it wasn’t going to be open-world and would instead have “independent area-based” design....

The cast of characters introduced viaFinal Fantasy 7remain some of the most famous in the series to date. Not just Cloud, but the others who aided him in his quest to take down Shinra. That group includes Barrett and his machine gun where an arm should be. However, the game’s creators have revealed all these years later that Barrett was originally going to have a different weapon where his right forearm presumably used to be....

A YouTuber named GrandTheftDiamonds posted a video digging into Hogwarts Legacy’s files, and it’s a doozy. Among unused voice lines, NPC-to-NPC relationships and more, one particular thing has been highlighted over and over are the reputation morality systems present that weren’t implemented in the final version of the game. Bad behaviour would have resulted in House Points deductions and possibly a change in the way NPCs saw you. This wouldn’t really be an issue, except Hogwarts Legacy’s lead developer said that there wasn’t a morality system for doing shady shit in the game because “this would be too judgmental on the game maker’s part”....

Quick Links The first chapter ofProcess of Eliminationis quite chaotic - the twists and turns start coming and they don’t stop coming, and the first brutal murder of the game is thrust in your face.

Tango Gameworks’Hi-Fi Rushapparentlydidn’t meet Microsoft’s sales expectations. I’m not surprised, and also unsure what it expected shadow-dropping this onto a subscription service where players can access it for free on all platforms. Actual sales of the game by traditional means were always going to be lacking, and failing to consider that feels like an oversight. Hi-Fi Rush didn’t failMicrosoft. If anything, Microsoft failed Hi-Fi Rush. The company has since come out and said otherwise regarding previous reports, but that denial still leaves me with a lot of lingering questions....

Given how often Kai has been banned fromTwitch, you’d think the streamer would jump at the chance to make millions by switching to rival streaming platform Kick.

During arecent YouTube stream(viaDexerto), Ross told fans he’d heard about Kai and iShowSpeed signing a deal with Rumble for an exclusive show, and that he’d actually known “about it for weeks....

Way back in 1999,Nintendoheld a promotional event at the now-defunct MGM Grand Adventures Theme Park in Las Vegas. Called “Slamfest ‘99,” the event pitted Mario, Pikachu, Donkey Kong, and Yoshi against each other in a wrestling match to promote the upcoming N64 release of the originalSuper Smash Bros. Unless you were actually present at the event, the only other way to see it was via a livestream through Nintendo’s site. Zelda 64 Planet managed to take a few screenshots, withVicepublishing them online back in 2020, but the pictures weren’t very good since livestreaming technology was pretty bad back in ‘99....

Metroid Prime 4was briefly spotted on Amazon’s store page allowing users to pre-order for the low price of $59.99, but the listing has already been removed. The listing was spotted earlier today by Twitter userWario64(with thanks toGamesRadar). Although it certainly seemed legit, it didn’t last very long. Amazon removed the listing after being live for only a few hours. It’s certain that some customers were able to get a few pre-orders in, but if the response to Wario64’s tweet is any indication, they could be in for a long wait....
