A new rumor from Nintendo insider Nash Weedle suggests we might see a new 3D Mario game revealed this week. Weedle has a good track record – they correctly predicted the announcement of a new Donkey Kong game at the last Nintendo Direct. This announcement hinges on whether Nintendo’s planned Direct happens as scheduled, as these presentations are sometimes postponed.
The new Resident Evil game will be the largest in the series ever released, needing significantly more storage space than previous titles. It requires much more space than Resident Evil 4 (58GB) and is nearly three times bigger than Resident Evil Village, which needed 27.3GB.
Fleider’s work on the popular video games Borderlands and Borderlands 2 is another key achievement. These games have collectively sold over 100 million copies during his time at Gearbox Entertainment.
Marvel and Sony have clashed over character rights before, most notably with Spider-Man and related characters like Spider-Woman. Interestingly, Marvel did get the rights back to Ghost Rider in 2013, but they haven’t significantly featured him in their projects since the earlier Sony films.
Anyone familiar with bad ‘80s video games likely expected E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial for the Atari 2600 to be on this list. The game is infamous for its poor quality, and it’s best avoided. I still recall being incredibly disappointed when I received it and couldn’t figure out how to play. Rushed into production in just five weeks to coincide with the movie’s release, despite Howard Scott Warshaw’s efforts, Atari shouldn’t have released it. It sold millions of copies due to the initial hype, but frustrated players largely ended up discarding it. E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial ultimately became a symbol of the 1983 video game crash.
As is typical for Westeros, not everyone survives. At first, the casualties appear limited to Ser Humfrey Bessbury and Ser Humfrey Hardyng, who both died in battle. However, the situation quickly escalates when Baelor Targaryen removes his helmet to reveal a fatal head wound inflicted by his brother Maekar’s mace. Showrunner Ira Parker discussed the significance of Baelor participating in the Trial of Seven and how his death echoes Ned Stark’s fate in the first season of Game of Thrones, in an interview with EW:
So, the third game in the series doesn’t have a proper title yet, but it’s kinda cool because it’s the first one they’re making for everything at once. The publisher decided to stop holding back and release it on all platforms at the same time, which is awesome for us gamers!
It’s not as straightforward as people might hope. Will Powers, Pearl Abyss America’s marketing director, explained on the Dropped Frames podcast that while they understand the request for a public demo, it won’t be happening. He says the game is simply difficult to showcase effectively in a demo format.
Shutaro, known as the Curry Sage, sadly passed away on February 10th after a battle with pancreatic cancer. A message on his social media announced his death and expressed gratitude for all the support he received during his life. While his journey has ended, his creations will live on, and fans are encouraged to continue enjoying the games he made, according to a translation by ResetEra user Foffy.
CyberConnect2 has announced a new game in the .hack action RPG series called .hack//Z.E.R.O. Bandai Namco owns the .hack series, but isn’t directly working on this project. While the specific consoles it will be released on haven’t been announced, it is confirmed to be in development for “home consoles.” Details about the game are currently limited, but it will once again be set within the in-game MMORPG, The World, and take place 10 years after previous installments. CyberConnect2 has hinted that this new game will feature more content relating to the real world than past .hack titles.
