The new patch, patch 1.02, is actually pretty small on all formats, and it seems to introduce various bug fixes and performance improvements, according to the PlayStation 4 version update history. Official patch notes have yet to be shared, so we do not know precisely what has been changed with the patch. Following Stranger of Paradise: Final Fantasy Origin patch 1.02 going live, I quickly tested it out in the PC version of the game, and performance does seem to be slightly better....

SYNCED subsequently fell off the radar for over three years, resurfacing only a couple of weeks ago with the announcement of a PC Open Beta test to be held between December 10th and January 15th, 2023. We had the chance to participate in an advance press preview event, though, playing for an hour or so and capturing a decent chunk of gameplay footage out of that session. SYNCED, a free-to-play game with in-app purchases, is divided into two main modes....

Never say never, but during their most recent earnings call, Take Two CEO Strauss Zelnick largely shot down the notion, saying they “like being an independent organization.” While Take Two isn’t looking to sell, they’ve been doing some shopping of their own, including buying FarmVille publisher Zynga for nearly $13 billion. While Take Two will largely focus on “organic” growth going forward, future acquisitions aren’t off the table. It’s pretty clear Take Two sees themselves as a competitor to the likes of Microsoft and Sony, not a target to be acquired....

One Apple Executive Is Retiring After Having Worked at the Company for Three Decades, Says Latest Report Anna Matthiasson and Mary Demby will be leaving the company, according to the information that sources told Bloomberg on the condition of anonymity. Matthiasson had only secured her position at the California-based giant for three years before departing and held the role of Vice President of online retail. Demby, on the other hand, will likely have a more peaceful exit from the firm since she is retiring after dedicating three decades at Apple....

Last year, following toxic workplace and sexual harassment allegations against Activision Blizzard, many of which mirrored stories we’d already heard about Ubisoft, an open letter written by the “A Better Ubisoft” collective and signed by over 500 current and former employees of the company was released. The letter called for concrete action from Ubisoft management, listing a series of demands, none of which were outrageous or unrealistic. These demands were…...

Valve confirmed this through a Steam Deck booklet introducing the console, Valve, and Steam to new markets across Asia. The booklet dives deep into certain tidbits of information, such as the fact that SteamOS will be getting a generic installer so that anyone can install the latest SteamOS available from the Steam Deck on their PC. However, the more important part of the booklet concerns the upcoming next-gen versions of the Steam Deck....

Warhammer 40K: Chaos Gate – Daemonhunters may initially appear a fairly typical tactical RPG, albeit with more cinematic attacks and moments than fans of the genre may be used to, but Complex Games has made a number of smart tweaks to the formula. A “precision targeting system” allows you to see exactly how much damage you can do from various vantage points, and you can destroy cover and objects in the environment to gain an advantage on the enemy....

As somebody who’s reviewed the annual WWE games for years, and often been harshly critical about their in-ring action, consider me… cautiously optimistic. The animations in the Mysterio vs. Priest match are still a little over-elaborate, but overall the action does seem to be faster and more responsive. Perhaps most importantly, Visual Concepts is introducing new ways to turn the tide of the match. My number one complaint about the WWE 2K games has long been that the only real way to get control from your opponent is to pull off difficult-to-time reversals, but WWE 2K22 adds a whole host of new options, including blocks, dodges, and “breakers....

Speaking to the Washington Post, Xbox boss (and future leader of Activision Blizzard) Phil Spencer talked about the possibilities he was most excited about, and he didn’t mention Call of Duty, World of Warcraft, or Diablo. Per Spencer, he’d like to give Acti-Blizz’s many studios an opportunity to delve into the company’s large catalog of beloved IP, specifically mentioning King’s Quest, Guitar Hero, and… Hexen? It makes sense for Spencer to try to diversify....
