Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth Director’s GOTY Is Great News for FF Fans

According to GamesRadar+, director Yuji Hamaguchi has high praise for Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, calling it a potential game of the year contender. He wasn’t just impressed with the combat, but with how well all the game’s elements work together. Hamaguchi specifically noted the game’s excellent balance, praising the way its turn-based system is improved by quick-time parries and reactive gameplay.

One Piece Will Make Major Change For 2026 (And Anime Fans Might Not Be Thrilled)

During a recent livestream announcing big updates for One Piece, Toei Animation announced a change to the anime’s release schedule. Instead of releasing new episodes every week, they will now only release 26 episodes per year. This is different from how the show has been released for years. In the past, some fans have criticized the anime for re-airing old episodes or stretching out storylines. While new episodes will continue to be released weekly for the rest of 2024, viewers should expect a slower pace of new content starting in 2026.

It: Welcome To Derry’s Bad CGI Is A Pattern With WBD’s Stephen King Adaptations

The first episode of It: Welcome to Derry is packed with references for Stephen King fans and features genuinely shocking moments. Director Andy Muschietti isn’t holding back on the horror or the creatively bizarre ways Pennywise appears. However, the episode isn’t perfect – the impressive visuals actually contribute to a problem that’s plagued recent Stephen King adaptations from Warner Bros. Discovery.

James Gunn’s R-Rated Batman Movie Is Farther Along Than Initially Thought

Details about the Clayface movie’s story are still secret, but recent production updates have given fans a few hints about how it connects to the wider DC Universe. For example, the film seems to establish that Hagan is believed to have died during the story, and we’ve gotten our first look at James Gunn’s vision for Gotham City. While people expected filming to continue for several more months, a new report reveals when the production is actually scheduled to finish.

Crimson Desert Includes Dozens and Dozens of Factions, But They Won’t Affect the Ending

However, it’s important to note that these factions aren’t like those in games such as Fallout. They won’t impact the main storyline or how the game ends, whether you side with them or against them. You will encounter quests involving these groups – for example, you might work with the House of Wells and its Duke to reclaim a fortress and fight against rebels.

Welcome to Derry Makes the Same Horror Mistake as the Divisive IT: Chapter 2

The new series, Welcome to Derry, aims to build on the story of Pennywise by showing its deep, historical connection to the town and how it fuels repeated cycles of violence. Set in the early 1960s, the show will also examine social issues like systemic racism and how human cruelty creates an ideal breeding ground for a monster like Pennywise. The first episode introduces a new group of kids – the beginnings of the Loser’s Club – each dealing with personal struggles that make them easy targets for the creature hiding in the sewers. This setup has the potential for the compelling, character-focused horror that worked so well in the 2017 film. However, the first episode unfortunately falls into the same less effective patterns as IT: Chapter Two.

Marvel Ending The Ultimate Universe Can Finally Be a Turning Point

Marvel is making a big move. It’s understandable to be skeptical of the company, given its connection to Disney and past controversies with its leadership. For a while now, Marvel hasn’t felt like a creative powerhouse, but more focused on profits. However, deciding to end the Ultimate Universe is a significant decision that could mark a turning point for the publisher.

Ghost of Yotei Is Missing One of Modern Gaming’s Best Features

I spent many hours perfecting Atsu to match how I like to play, carefully choosing upgrades for my abilities and the best gear like armor, a hat, and a mask. However, there’s a problem: Ghost of Yotei lacks a transmog system – a feature common in many modern games that’s really important for personalizing your character and expressing yourself.
