In a recent interview with The Washington Post, The Last of Us creator Neil Druckmann revealed that he is not only a fan of Elden Ring but that his time with that game (and other titles) may have inspired him to tweak his own approach to video game storytelling. “I’m intrigued by stuff like Elden Ring and Inside that doesn’t rely as much on traditional narrative,” Druckmann says. “Some of it is in cinematics, but a lot of [the storytelling] is in gameplay, moving around the space, and understanding the history of that space…to me, some of the best joy I get right now is out of the games that trust their audience to figure things out and that don’t hold their hand....

Blizzard Entertainment’s upcoming virtual event, BlizzConline, will celebrate the World of Warcraft developer’s 30th anniversary as a company. More details were released on Monday, affirming its recent promise that all content will be available for free. This is a welcome change from years past, when even a virtual ticket for BlizzCon could cost as much as $50. The opening ceremony for BlizzConline 2021 will take place at 2 pm PST/5 pm EST on Friday, February 19....

In case you’ve been living under a rock this week, it’s Mario’s 35th birthday (even if he doesn’t look a day over 20,) and Nintendo has some big plans for the plumber. A report from VGC (which has now been corroborated by sources such as Eurogamer) says that Nintendo will be having a Mario-centric year, including remasters of what seems to be almost every 3D Mario game coming to the Switch....

Almost every announcement in the September 2021 Nintendo Direct broadcast tried to one-up the other reveals. Audiences finally got the long-awaited Bayonetta 3 gameplay trailer (it was every bit as exciting as we hoped), minutes after the internet was left to decide whether to shout “Wahoo!” or “Mamma mia!” over the Super Mario movie voice cast. But the highlight of the mini-expo, even though virtually everyone predicted it, was the announcement that Nintendo Switch Online subscribers can soon play Nintendo 64 and Sega Genesis games… assuming they pay for a more expensive subscription model....

Spring is here and seasonal events are sprouting up in nearly every game that has an online service. World of Warcraft is no different and it is once again time to take a break from the feud between the Horde and Alliance while players hunt down eggs and celebrate the new season in Azeroth. Easter and the spring season are celebrated in World of Warcraft with the Noblegarden event and this year there are a lot of great activities to help keep players busy over the next week....

World of Warcraft: Shadowlands players are currently exploring each realm of death including the magical forests of Ardenweald. But as heroes learn during the main storyline, recent events have caused this zone to suffer more heavily compared to the others. While the Jailer’s actions are the reason for Ardenweald’s current state, there are other forces seeking to destroy the realm, both natural or otherwise. Because of the anima drought, the native Gorm insects responsible for decomposition have multiplied out of control in a desperate attempt to find sustenance, even consuming the wildseeds of regenerating spirits like Wild Gods....

World of Warcraft players may not have received an exact release date during yesterday’s Shadowlands developer update, but that doesn’t mean it wasn’t an exciting day for MMO fans who are looking forward to the 2020 expansion to the iconic Blizzard MMO. The livestream event was jam-packed with new information about Shadowlands, including details on the upcoming shift from alpha to beta testing and viewers also got a first look at some gorgeous swag....

WWE 2K updates its roster’s ratings after every installment. They do this according to the wrestler’s performance at the time the game is being developed. This is done to keep the game up to date on the WWE storylines, maximizing the game’s relevance. Though some wrestlers such as Kofi Kingston had an impressive rating jump in the past year, other superstars weren’t as lucky. These ratings aren’t just mere numbers either....

Bloober Team’s latest spooktacular title, The Medium, may be on its way to the PS5. Previously, it was a console exclusive for the Xbox Series X/S and was only available otherwise on PC. It also launched on Game Pass, so if you have access to anything with Microsoft’s name on it you may have already experienced this supernatural adventure. However, if you happen to be a horror game fan who’s managed to get their hands on a PS5, there’s a strong chance that this Silent Hill-inspired ghostfest is being ported over to your fancy new Sony system....

When the Xbox One first launched Microsoft promised that gamers would see dashboard updates on a much more regular basis than they were used to seeing in the later years of the Xbox 360. And not small tweaks or console patches either, Microsoft wanted gamers to know that the console was very much an evolving hardware. Thus far, Microsoft has stuck by that credo, issuing about one update per month, each of which has added at least one oft-requested feature to the console....

Since E3 a few months ago, Microsoft has been calling its software lineup for 2015 the best in Xbox history. Whether or not fans agree, there’s no doubt that the Xbox One is releasing a lot of games this year from first-party titles like Halo 5: Guardians and Forza Motorsport 6 to strong third-party titles like Rise of the Tomb Raider. With such a robust lineup hitting the Xbox One later this year, many fans have been wondering what else is coming down the road from Microsoft in order to keep the momentum....

Recently, the Microsoft acquisition of Bethesda was made official, and now the Xbox lineup has been expanded greatly. Bethesda is working on several new games, most notably a new Elder Scrolls game and the long-gestating Starfield. While there hasn’t been any further news on the new games the company is working on, Bethesda’s library has found a new home on Xbox Game Pass. The gaming service was already widely considered to be a resounding success and great value for the money, but the newest additions of Bethesda games have added another layer of value for gamers all over....

With the console officially launching just under three months ago, the Xbox Series X has already made a big mark with Xbox fans looking for a premium gaming experience. The console’s 4K visuals, quick SSD, and myriad of next-generation features, such as quick resume, have been a hit with players, many of which have noted what a step up it is from the Xbox One. However, it seems one aspect fans aren’t all too happy with are the Xbox Series X’s sharing options, with many claiming the social media-focused tools don’t work as they’re supposed to....

Update: Ryu Ga Gotoku Studios has clarified that owners of the PS4 disc version of Yakuza: Like a Dragon will also receive a free upgrade to the PS5 port. Sega has announced that the upcoming Yakuza: Like a Dragon will be heading to PS5 on March 2, 2021. Slated for release in mid-November on every other platform, this is something of a minor win for Microsoft. Originally viewed as a PlayStation exclusive series, Microsoft pulled out all the stops to get players engaging with Yakuza on its platform in the last year....

The Yakuza series is known to have extremely likable characters that you follow for dozens of hours or even throughout multiple entries in the franchise. Occasionally, they’ll pull on your heartstrings with justifiable or likable antagonists. However, the series does just as good of a job at making sure they create some unlikable and downright evil characters that stand out even in a series where everyone is a criminal. These characters pull you out from the fun and cheery side activities and action-filled drama of being a member of the Yakuza....

Majima Goro, the fan-favorite character that has appeared in every main title of the Yakuza series, was given an additional feature in Kiwami (the remake of the first game). The addition of the Majima Everywhere system sees Majima attempting to attack Kiryu, chasing him around the city, surprising him from different hiding spots, and donning a variety of disguises or outfits. Majima clearly loves a good costume change, though some of his outfits are better than others....

Princess Zelda is sporting a new haircut in Breath of the Wild 2, which seemingly isn’t a subtle hint that she’ll end up as a playable heroine in the upcoming sequel. Instead, it’s a new look for a main character who has saved her kingdom, witnessed the loss of countless loved ones, and managed to survive and continue with a life she’s afraid isn’t deserved. Hyrule is safe once more, but so much was lost to acquire even a semblance of peace....

What Does Impedance Mismatch Mean? An object-relational impedance mismatch refers to a range of problems representing data from relational databases in object-oriented programming languages. The term is used by analogy with the electrical engineering term “impedance managing,” where the optimal design is in most cases to have the input impedance match the output impedance for maximum power flow.
