A short video on Reddit’s r/PS5 subreddit appears to show an unannounced controller and the startup screen for the PlayStation 5. Although of course unconfirmed, the leak aligns with some of what Sony has recently shown audiences. Excitement surrounding the PlayStation 5has reached new heights following a disorganized pre-order process that left many without a PS5 at launch. As some continue to comb through rumors of more pre-orders launching, they may want to see if getting the console at launch is really worth all the effort....

Shenmue’sfifth episode marks a turning point for theanimeseries, as Ryo Hazuki finally departs for Hong Kong in his quest to exact revenge from Lan Di, but not without a legendary brawl taking place before and Ryo saying his goodbyes to the people of Yokosuka. In that sense, the anime doesn’t walk wander away from theShenmuegame in too many aspects, yet when it does it’s only to continue its distinctive trend of boosting how relevant some of the Dreamcast NPCs were in Ryo’s story....

While information is scant about the next feature film in the franchise, it’s perhaps theStar Warsmovie project fans have the best understanding of - considering the existing entries into the ‘Legends’ which shares the same name. Despite this, Jenkins has suggested her projectisn’t an adaptation of the novel or video game series. Nevertheless, the movie will undoubtedly bear similarities to the games....

A particularly cleverStar Warsfan asserts that all 9 movies in the main “Skywalker Saga” were titled incorrectly. It’s a bold statement to make, to be sure. But considering this is the same franchise whose fans regularly (and rightfully) call for the return of theStar Wars Holiday Specialto the main canon, perhaps it isn’t the most outlandish idea. While many devotees will regularly argue aboutwhich aspects ofStar WarsLegends should be made canon(as well as debating several other topics), it seems there’s one property of the franchise that remains largely devoid of controversy....

Conventions shutting down due to the ongoing pandemic have hit gaming enthusiasts hard in 2020, but there’s no gaming niche more affected than tabletop gamers.

Summary Fights in grand strategy games are often a very abstract affair. Those games might default to auto-battlers or auto-resolve. Otherwise, they might include battle modes that don’t give the player much influence on how to approach the fight. That is the case of the minimal combat resolution systems ofCrusader Kings 3andEuropa Universalis 4. For most players, that is no issue at all. Detailed combat is just not what grand strategy games are about....

While it’s probably still a few years away,The Elder Scrolls 6might be Bethesda’s most highly anticipated game among fans. And while its predecessor,Skyrim,is one of thebest-selling games of all time, that hasn’t spared it from criticism.

It’s unrealistic to expect Bethesda to radically change a formula that has performed so well, so fans expecting major changes toThe Elder Scrolls 6’scomplexityare likely out of luck....

Between both the games and the books, Geralt entertains these two characters as separate love interests, and the games, specifically, allow players to choose which one Geralt will ultimately end up with....
