This event is expected to be fairly predictable, lasting around 40 minutes, but it will likely feature a good look at actual gameplay. It starts at 3pm in the UK, 4pm in most of Europe, 7am Pacific Time, and 10am Eastern Time – just half an hour from now.
Here is an overview of the game, via its Steam page:
A new demo is out now on PC! It includes fully voiced characters, more ways to customize your character, and a brand new boss to fight.
The photo mode in *Ghost of Yōtei* lets you save up to 16 different camera positions, which you can then string together to create smooth, animated tracking shots. You can also adjust the camera’s zoom level from a wide 12mm to a powerful 300mm. Players have full control over depth of field, turning it off completely or setting it anywhere from f/1.2 (shallow) to f/63 (deep), and can adjust the focus distance from just 0.1 meters to a full 200 meters.
A fan recently asked Pocketpair CEO Bucky if *Palworld: Palfarm* was the project he’d previously hinted at, mentioning it was still years away from being revealed. He replied that it wasn’t, teasing that they have something “even CRAZIER” in the works. While details are scarce, it’s not surprising Pocketpair has more projects planned, given the massive success of *Palworld*.
PlayStation recently launched Ghost Rewards, a special collection of merchandise for fans of *Ghost of Tsushima*. However, you can only buy these items if you’ve unlocked specific achievements (trophies) in the game on your PlayStation account. While *Destiny 2* uses a similar system for some of its branded products, Sony’s new program is still sparking debate among gamers.
Mark Waid continues to demonstrate his deep understanding of DC Comics with this issue, much like he did with his groundbreaking *New History of the DC Universe*. He presents the postCrisis* DC era – a particularly fascinating time for the universe – with a respectful adherence to its established continuity. Considering *Crisis on Infinite Earths* aimed to simplify the DC Universe, Waid effectively utilizes that streamlined foundation. As someone who grew up reading these comics, this issue felt like a wonderful trip down memory lane. This era is where Waid built his strong reputation, so it’s fitting that he stays true to its core elements.
I recently got to play about an hour of *Pokemon Legends: Z-A* at a gaming event. I wasn’t sure what to expect, especially after hearing about the earlier demos and seeing the new Mega Evolution reveals. But playing the game felt surprisingly different from a typical *Pokemon* game, and I’m still trying to figure out how I feel about that.
It’s likely that the new game, *Physint*, will share some elements with the *Metal Gear Solid* series – that’s common when a studio revisits a familiar genre. *Metal Gear Solid* was full of innovative ideas, and it wouldn’t make sense to abandon them completely. However, Kojima Productions needs to surprise players, not just deliver what they anticipate. While many might enjoy a *Metal Gear* game with a new title, a truly exciting approach would be to capture the *feeling* and inspiration of *Metal Gear*, rather than simply recreating its features.
Ice Road: Vengeance is also a big success on Prime Video, currently ranking as the most-streamed movie on the platform – even beating out Madame Web. Interestingly, while the film is performing well worldwide, viewers in the US need to rent or buy it. Considering its performance on both Netflix and Prime Video, Ice Road: Vengeance is proving to be a global hit, and a film people are intentionally choosing to watch.
