The Stop Killing Games folks will love this.

The detailed sourcing directly attacks Sony’s legal claim that a reasonable person wouldn’t expect to own their digital purchases on the PlayStation Store.

I’m glad it’s highlighted on Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown in particular, because that was the first game I’d bought from Ubisoft in years, and the extra launcher deterred me from considering buying any of their other games for a long while still. EA still has launchers on older games like It Takes Two and A Way Out and Dragon Age II and Inquisition that create obstacles for LInux compatibility and offline play, but newer titles like Split Fiction and The Veilguard no longer have the extra launcher problem. It’s good to see Ubisoft following this trend, and hopefully they can stop standing in the way of their own success.

I am currently working on a game and I am collecting some feedback to improve the game. Hoping to get best possible demo for the Steam Next Fest on October. Any feedback is appreciated!

Valheim 1.0 has arrived!

You can now AI slop and yassify everything on your computer and the entire internet including things that require invasive age verification in some US states and the UK!

Was a wild couple of hours on gamingleaksandrumours on the forbidden site. Somehow Final Fantasy 7 and Code Veronica stayed safe.

There’s a special edition of the Switch 2 in relation to commemorating the 40th anniversary of The Legend of Zelda, which is expected to release around October 29 2026. Keep in mind this is discussing the Region Locked version of the console rather than the Global Switch 2 everyone else owns. I mean, you can import it upon release but comes with caveats (must have a JP Nintendo Account and speak / understand Japanese).

WonderThunder has archived the entirety of Castlevania: Grimoire of Souls in an offline capacity, uploading their work to The Internet Archive. Currently, the game can only be played on macOS, but WonderThunder suggests that Windows, iOS, and perhaps Android versions will be available in the future, preserving one of the smaller pieces of the Castlevania continuity for future generations. Stellar work.

I had the chance to interview Mike Miller, the developer behind Halo: Combat Devolved, an ongoing project that aims to bring Halo: Combat Evolved to the Game Boy Color (and retro handhelds) using GB Studio. I’ve been playing through it on my Brick Hammer, it really feels at home on there.

…, the airport’s centerpiece would be a display aircraft wrapped in Vice City logos, alongside a GTA 6-inspired baggage claim, customized baggage carousels or column wraps, themed luggage carts, limited-edition luggage tags, or coordinated airport signage. Arriving passengers would see “Welcome to Vice City” messages when disembarking their planes.

An Astra remake of the 1977 text adventure, created with Threejs. It lacks polish but compares favorably with some early 3D games. Quite amazing.

Donald Trump’s White House has launched Arcade.Gov, a site with mini-games where you catch and deport immigrants, or use Tetris blocks to build a border wall.

Game Pass Ultimate: 15 hours / month

Sony went on to say that it takes a “firm stance” against such behavior, which includes examples like “persistent and repeated, or prolonged, demands, excessive or unreasonable demands for compensation or apologies, and abusive language, threats, slander, and other similar behaviors.”

So here’s my review on the 55G1 retro handheld.

The very bad news is, Nvidia says turning DLSS 5 on will currently reduce performance by 50-60%. And that’s across the board—no matter the game.

Hey again, I hope you don’t mind a small update after a month:

With the end of physical PlayStation games looming, the need for clear digital ownership rights is more pressing than ever.

Konami is the latest publisher to stake out September 3, announcing a Konami Press Start showcase for that Thursday at 8:00 AM Pacific (11:00 AM Eastern). The stream promises the latest information on upcoming titles, … Read more

September looks pretty busy!

It seems opinions are most polarized when it comes to some of Dragon’s Dogma 2’s unique gameplay “obstacles.” According to Oyama, players in Japan and Asia tend to be quite vocal about what they perceive as “inconveniences,” while players in Europe and North America are more likely to view these same game elements as “friction” and welcome them. While the developers don’t cite any specific examples, they do describe travelling by foot and Dragonsplague as some of the “inconveniences” the game throws at players earlier in the interview.

So I just did a little follow-up to my Retroid Pocket 6 review, this time looking specifically at the 12GB model and what those extra 4GB actually get you when it comes to retro handheld emulation.

First, tune in for a new State of Play featuring updates and announcements from PlayStation Studios and our third-party partners, concluding with an extended look at the vast world of Final Fantasy VII Revelation from our friends at Square Enix.
