I likeLumines Livequite a bit, but I wasn’t such a big fan of the nickel and dime add-ons I (reluctantly) ended up buying. I was, however, a big fan of the free “Heavenly Star” DLC that was offered up a few months ago. Here’s the middle ground — DLC that costs money, benefits charity. Which one of you heartless bastards is going to complain? To celebrate the first ever Genki Rockets live performance at the upcomingLive Earthconcert in Japan, Q Entertainment will be releasing the “Tokyo Club Mix Pack” forLumines Liveon Wednesday, June 27th....

What happened, Miss Williams? It’s a good time to be a fan of fighting games and a good day for those who love their sexy silent assassins. Nina Willaims, star ofDeath by Degreesand also aTekkenmainstay, got her first solo trailer for the upcoming release ofTekken 8. Nina, sister of fellow fighter Anna Williams, sports an unforgettable look this time around, and I honestly can’t take my eyes off of her. The lastTekkengame that I played wasTekken Tag Tournament 2for the Wii U and she was definitely one of my most played characters....

The Liqudators Minotaur Exocraft is the primary reward obtained from Expedition 14 ofNo Man’s Sky. Expeditions inNo Man’s Skytake place in an alternate save, and not your main save file in the game. Once an expedition ends inNo Man’s Sky, players have the option to transfer items and technologies that they have found in the expedition save and bring them back to their main save. This is only possible if players choose to end the expedition by going to the Space Anomaly, or else the expedition save file gets converted into a standard save file, after which it is not possible to transfer items back to your original save....

Yeah, I’d play it Here we are with anotherOcarina of TimeUnreal demo, and it’s still just as impressive as the last time we all looked at one and judged it collectively. This iteration comes from RwanLink, who recreated Lake Hylia fromOcarina of Time. As the creator puts it, “this lake is beautiful and full of mysteries so I wanted to recreate this feel by imagining how it could look like with the visual of a film....

GOGhas announcedthat on December 13th, bothWarcraftandWarcraft 2will be delisted from their storefront. This is no doubt due to the recently releasedWarcraft Battlechest, which will include the two games alongside somegodawful-lookingremasters. However, this has caused GOG to append theirPreservation Programpromise. Yeah, poor timing. TheWarcraft I & 2 Bundleis part of GOG’snewly launched Preservation Program, which has the storefront take responsibility for ensuring a developer/publisher’s games work on modern hardware. That kind of goes up in smoke if the publisher chooses to delist a game anyway so they can (probably) charge more money for a different version....

I keep hitting refresh on theSteamDBpage ofPalworld. Each time I do, the numbers keep shooting up. Despite the fact that Pocketpick’s new game has only come out today – in Early Access as well – the numbers suggest it’s going to be a big hit. When the third-party Steam tracking website posted on Twitter/X earlier, it said Palworld had already reached over 110,000 concurrent players. At the time of writing, that number has gone up to 329,563....

PS TV will be available standalone for $100 or as part of a $140 bundle, including an 8GB memory card,The LEGO Movie Videogameand a DualShock 3 controller....

‘We chose Pokemon based on how easily players could pick their battle style from looking at them’ Pokemon Unitediscussions are typically ablaze with roster decisions, and given the decades of history, it’s easy to understand why. People are really heated and emotionally attached to some characters, so when their favorite makes it in, they’re excited: and when something like Greedent takes up a roster spot, they might get confused.Spotted by Nintendo Everything,Famitsucaught up with the development team and talked a bit about thePokemon Unitecast, and how some decisions were made....

So, ray-tracing. It’s really happening, isn’t it? Though there’s been a whole lot of bemoaning over it at almost every level, ray-traced graphics are slowly but certainly becoming the norm. In fact, I’d go so far as to say that rasterization is about to fall out of favor for real. The equation is really simple, actually: it’s been over half a decade since the first mainstream raytracing-ready GPUs entered the market, and every single modern mainstream graphics processor supports the technology by default....

Joins PC and Xbox One release The devious trial-and-error friendship-destroying puzzlerDeath Squaredwas previously only announced for PC and Xbox One, but these days it only makes sense to bring games to as many platforms as possible. Why should Microsoft have a monopoly on the sadistic destruction of colorful robots? It shouldn’t; thereforeDeath Squaredis coming to PlayStation 4 as well. Each version will have its own subset of unique skins and levels, and the PS4 version will have exclusive “controller features....

But it’s still a very good open-world game Tomorrow,Sleeping Dogs: Definitive Editionwill be released to the public. It’s basically the same idea asTomb Raider:Definitive Edition— a re-release with promises of enhanced visuals for current-gen systems (PC, PS4, and Xbox One). Having played theSleeping Dogs: DEfor about a week now, I’m of the opinion that it doesn’t really take advantage of the current-gen hardware in any meaningful way. In fact, it looks and plays like the last-generation iteration....

Square Enix has gone one step further in its plot to become the most pretentious game publisher in the world, trademarkingits own magical currencyfor real-world transactions. The worst part is, it’s not even Gil! It’s some flowery and awful-sounding moon money called Crysta, and if you’re buying from Squenix in Japan, you need it. Following in the tradition of Microsoft and Wii Points, Crysta will be required for online Japanese games likeParty CastleandFantasy Earth Zero....

Star Wars Eclipseis losing a notable part of its dev team. The game’s lead writer, Adam Williams, has left Quantic Dream for new pastures, forming his own studio after nine years with the studio. Williams’ resume includes a lead writer stint onDetroit: Become Humanbefore joining theStar Warsproject.Announced back in 2021with a flashy CGI trailer,Star Wars Eclipsepromises a new experience set in the galaxy’s High Republic era. In the almost three years since, Quantic Dream has been near-silent on the title....
