In an interview with Red Bull, Grégory de Meyer interviewed Toshihiro Nagoshi, a Japanese video game producer and designer as well as the chief creative officer for Sega. The producer discussed the upcoming live-action adaptation of the Yakuza video game franchise with 1212 Entertainment and Wild Sheep Content, on which he is collaborating. In terms of Yakuza’s popularity around the world, Nagoshi believes that Western players are drawn to the games exactly because they are intrinsically Japanese....

CES 2021 is in full swing, the consumer electronics convention moving to online presentations from its previous home in Las Vegas, Nevada. And while we’re getting the usual mix of fancy new technologies that may or may not ever make it to market, we’re also getting a ton of new devices that are specifically aimed at keeping people safe from COVID-19. Targus unveiled their upcoming line of COVID protection gear including an antimicrobial backpack and a UV-C sanitation lamp, and now Razer is following suit with “the world’s smartest face mask....

Scarlet Nexus is arriving this summer and if you haven’t secured yourself a PS5 yet, be rest assured that your PS4 save will cross over to the next generation when you’re ready. Siliconera highlighted a tweet from director Kenji Anabuki, who confirmed the news Saturday. He has also reiterated that if you buy the PS4 version, you will get a free upgrade as well. Xbox owners don’t have to worry as the game is a part of the Smart Delivery program....

Link is coming in collectible, small figure form as a new Nendoroid featuring the lead character from The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild is announced. One of the best things about video games outside of actually playing games themselves are the collector’s items that spring up from fans’ favorite franchises. From limited editions of games to apparel to collectibles and toys, there’s plenty for people to spend their cash on....

Millions of gamers across the world are currently asking the same question, which next-generation console should they buy? There are many complex reasons why a console can be right for one gamer versus another, including but not limited to, hardware specifications, price, exclusive games, online services and subscriptions, which machine their friends own, and more. The first two of these factors, in particular, pose an interesting question for gamers who aren’t yet sure which PS5 will provide the most value....

We all love a good April fool’s prank, but what happens when a game studio’s prank backfires, with fans clamoring for more than just a release date? Ask Coffee Stain Studios who pranked(?) the world with a playable Goat Simulator or Fantasy Flight Games with their dog Vs cats inspired Arkham Horror spin-off, Barkham Horror! Well, you end up with an actual product that fans were screaming for and a sure-fire hit to boot!...

Do you like giant robots? Do you like dinosaurs? Do you like Power Rangers? If you answered any of those questions you’re aware of the Megazords in Power Rangers (adapted from Super Sentai.) Those giant robots that combine to make a big robot. They’re pretty cool, right? Yeah, of course they are. But what if they were even better? “How?” you must be asking. How could giant robot dinosaurs be any cooler?...

Take-Two Interactive CEO Strauss Zelnick discusses the company’s reluctance about turning games like Red Dead Redemption and Grand Theft Auto into movies. For a game that’s six years old already, Red Dead Redemption has been making headlines fairly frequently in 2016. That’s largely due to the persistent rumor that Take-Two Interactive and Rockstar Games are gearing up to produce a Red Dead Redemption sequel for 2017, although if that’s true, it would be the industry’s worst-kept secret at this point....

Just to be clear right off the bat, this is not an article that’s going to rip apart Assassin’s Creed or Far Cry, nor is it another article written to just rip on Ubisoft’s formula. Honestly, this isn’t even to say that games released by Ubisoft have been bad. There are still some good quality games, after all. But the fact of the matter is that Ubisoft has been notorious for not branching out when it comes to their open world games, and people have been noticing for a long time....

Last week, EA Sports added a new feature to FIFA Ultimate Team that allows you to see what’s inside a pack before purchasing it. I say ‘allow’ but it’s actually unavoidable - this isn’t an optional feature but instead the new normal. This change means you can see exactly who is in that Gold Pack you want to buy, and if it’s full of duds, you can leave it on the shelf....

Attendees at New York Comic Con love their giveaways, but eBay has something truly special for those walking the convention floor. Rather than simply browsing vendor wares and appreciating cosplayers passing by, visitors can look for special Funko Pop display boxes hidden around the Javits Center for an extraordinary scavenger hunt that appears to be drawing in quite a few of the most competitive fans and geeks in attendance. For those on the lookout for more exclusive swag than just the posters and stickers that other booths are handing out, the special superhero-themed Funko Pop that lies at the end of this particular adventure....

The streaming giant will hold the competition, which features an original The Old Guard video game, from July 17 through July 19. Players who want to win an “immortal” subscription will have to best all others and be #1 by the end of the event this weekend....

Spider-Man: Miles Morales will be launching with a relatively small day-one patch when it releases next month. SP1st (via PlayStation LifeStyle) found that the patch comes in around 9.2GB through a website called Orbispatches. If you type in Miles Morales in the search engine, it comes up with the patch 1.01. Orbis refers to the patch being compatible with August’s firmware update 7.55 for the PS4, so it likely refers to this system....

In September, Warner Bros. opted to postpone the release of Wonder Woman 1984 until Christmas day 2020. The delay marked the third time the Wonder Woman sequel was rescheduled due to the COVID-19 pandemic, but director Patty Jenkins has stated that she believes it is possible for the DC film to retain its release date this time. Warner Bros. reportedly made the decision to postpone Wonder Woman 1984, which had previously been scheduled for a theatrical release in early October before the latest delay, party in response to box office performance of Tenet....

World of Final Fantasy might not be the Final Fantasy game everyone is talking about this year, but its addictive gameplay and entertaining callbacks make it a must-play. After a long, strained absence away from the current generation of consoles, the Final Fantasy franchise returned looking to make a statement in the last few months of 2016. While Final Fantasy 15 is the game that has the weight of a decade-long development period resting firmly upon its shoulders, World of Final Fantasy comes to the PS4 and PS Vita with a different kind of intent....

It has been an exciting week for World of Warcraft players since the Burning Crusade Classic was announced at BlizzConline. With many older heroes anticipating an imminent return to Outland, the current Timewalking event is giving them a reason to revisit the different zones and inhabitants in the present day. Since players are getting an additional 50-percent bonus reputation through combat and quests this week, it is the perfect time to get rewards from otherwise farm heavy factions such as the Netherwing....

In the months leading up to World of Warcraft’s next major expansion, Shadowlands, a series of animated shorts are being released to introduce a handful of the coming content’s new zones, factions, and key players. This first look into the afterlife offers players an idea about which iconic NPCs are associated with each faction and what the general tone is at each of the four options. The first Afterlife short put a spotlight on Bastion through the eyes of Uther and this time things are shifting back towards a Horde perspective by putting Draka in the featured role....

Blizzard has announced that they’re working on a new project called Shadowlands Afterlives: an animated series based on the World of Warcraft universe and the game’s upcoming Shadowlands expansion. “Just as our choices determine who we are in life–they pave the paths we take in the afterlife,” reads a brief description of the series. “Prepare to delve into four realms of the Shadowlands–Bastion, Maldraxxus, Ardenweald, and Revendreth–and discover the journeys souls take once they cross the eternal veil....

The other day I was having lunch with two of my colleagues, both of whom I like very much. While we share quite a bit in common professionally, our private lives are, shall we say, about as different as Northrend is from Outland. They were talking about their favored past time — college basketball. One is an absolute University of North Carolina fanatic, the other is equally fanatic about the University of Kentucky....
