Insomniac also showed off the T.R.A.C.K. suit pre-order bonus Will your save files carry over to PS5 in all cases? Unfortunately, there’s not an easy or neat across-the-board answer to that question, and anxiety has only spread as developers share their specific plans. We learned yesterday thatYakuza: Like A Dragonwill not support PS4/PS5 cross-saves, butSpider-Man: Miles Morales– another prominent cross-gen game with a PS4 version and a PS5 version – will....

Year of the Piggybank Fresh off its recently-ended Winter Sale, Valve is hopping right back into the festive game-selling and money-saving spirit. This time it’s in celebration of the Pig. Steam’s holding a Lunar New Year Sale, which will run for one week between now and February 11. As usual, thousands of games are discounted to some extent and there are probably a few real gems in the bargain bin. Your mileage may vary and all that....

Do you want a Flake in that? Katsuhiro Harada, the affable and charismaticTekkenproducer, has debuted a brand new web series, which sees the sunglasses-sporting icon operating a classy drinking establishment whilst interviewing famous names from both the FGC and the video game industry at large. “Harada’s Bar” –as spotted by Event Hubs– sees Harada working the counter of a pretty smart-looking watering hole, which will be visited by new guests each and every week....

Final Fantasy XIVpatch 6.08 is out Final Fantasy XIVpatch 6.08 is out, and it brings some job changes, as well as the new Oceanic data center into the mix. It’s a big day for the game, despite it not actually being a properly “numbered” content patch. That’s still coming in roughly two months with 6.1, but for now, changes! So the biggest thing is obviouslythe Oceanic data center, which is ready to go, and should alleviate a lot of the current issues (which have been improving in recent weeks following the launch oftheEndwalkerexpansion)....

Or, I’m sorry if you’re real, Coda The Beginner’s Guidereleased a couple days ago, and it made me feel stuff. If you are not averse to having feelings, you might want to play it. More importantly, if you have not yet played it, you probably don’t want to continue reading. I was intentionally vague in the review with respect to particular narrative elements, because reading about them would weaken their impact compared to experiencing them first hand....

According to Bloomberg, there’s a price war looming It seems like everyone is holding their breath every time a new console is announced. “Did they tell us the price?” Is it“599 US dollars?”Well we know the Xbox Series X [Scarlett] and the PlayStation 5 exist (we have their names at least!), but we still don’t know the price of the hardware.According to Bloomberg, it might be a while. We already knowSony and Microsoft are locked in a cold war of pricing....

And, lo, the first episode of Penny Arcade’s game, “On the Rain-slick Precipice of Darkness,” is upon us, and I saw that it was good. Penny Arcade Adventureslooks like a cartoony film-noir/Sam and Maxmashup, complete with episodic content and phallic fruit-juicer. I just hope that there is a zoot suit and the phrase “swing heil” involved. I don’t know, maybe the darker elements of Tommy guns will provide a nice counter-point to the comic....

I’m not so much into them, but my family loves game shows. My grandparents still watch their favorites. Inspired by their love of shows, my cousin was recently on The Price Is Right as a contestant. I’m sure the fam would dig at least one of Ubisoft’s line-up of four game show games, all set to release this fall. Family Feud 2012will be released on October 18 for Xbox 360 and Wii....

We are now three months into 2025, and Steam is steadily gearing up with some of the best sales of this year, the Spring Sale being the upcoming one. Here’s when it begins. Steam Salesare arguably the best times of the year when you can save some bucks on your favorite titles. Publishers give good, sometimes great, discounts on some of their most popular video games, and that’s when you should utilize the opportunity to the fullest....

Dr Kanav Kohel and Dr Marshall Smith of the Banner Good Samaritan Medical Centre in Phoenix, Arizona, think that the Wii’s control scheme can actually help surgeons perform better surgeries. They’re working with researchers to develop a program that would let would-be surgeons use their Wii consoles to practice the specific physical movements involved in surgical procedures. Think of it as fun homework. To test Wii training effectiveness, researchers asked eight residents to play Wii games an hour before virtual surgery....

Playable at GDC There are some combinations that just make sense and are easy to see: chocolate and peanut butter, phones and cameras, Sonny and Cher. Then there are those combos that you didn’t know you wanted until some brave soul put them together: bacon and donuts. Frisbee and golf, Metroidvania and pinball. Metroidvania is perhaps my favorite game genre and I will play any pinball game that comes across my path, yet I never thought of mashing the two of them up before I saw this trailer forYoku’s Island Express....

Carter’s Quest As I mentionedin my last update, it’s been tough to commit to my Carter’s Quest series ever since I took over the role of Reviews Director, as directing reviews takes up nearly all of my time. But every so often, a franchise grabs hold of me for better or for worse, and I feel the inherent need to talk about it as a whole. One of my recent projects has been theArkhamseries, andyou may have caught my effortsto 100%Arkham Knight....
