VGChartz's Lee Mehr: "While a few genres in 2022 were somewhat lacking, RPG was the opposite; in fact, two of our finalists show last year’s impressive spread of reputable releases. Beyond their consistency, they also impressed with their quality, and shared this special stat with the Best Puzzle Game of 2022 award: eight entries made it past the preliminary round’s eligibility threshold. All except one of them were made in Japan, and that exception is still emulating the spirit of SNES JRPGs. Finally, together they hold the highest average VGChartz review score of any shortlist we’ve done to date."
This looks like something fans and collectors will enjoy as the latest book of art has been announced.
Nintendo Switch 2 updates for the original Switch titles are now live, including an unexpected update for Xenoblade Chronicles 3.
The lead image for this article has Kirby and the Forgotten Land in it, however the update is not released until the 28th of August.
Asphalt legends unite is now a more stable / consistant 60fps on SW2 where it would drop frames constantly on SW1.
Feels weird that a new console has launched and there's hardly any news about it on here. Not blaming this place, I haven't seen much news about it anywhere.
@CDbiggen - I don't know what news you were hoping for. The system is a better Switch in every regard. Switch 1 games are running better on Switch 2 even without patches as reported by lots of outlets including DF.
It's not going to stop the world in its tracks though, for the first time it's just a better version of a previous console, much like PlayStation for example.
Bandai Namco Entertainment Inc. and A24 today announced their collaboration with writer and director Alex Garland for a live-action film adaptation of FromSoftware Inc.’s world-renowned video game ELDEN RING.
Why? These live action adaptations have been oh so terrible lol. I know sonic is successful but I just couldn't enjoy the first movie. You cannot adapt a full game especially a 70+hr rpg into a small 1-2hr movie without many cuts.
But I suppose their goal is to reach more people with these films I guess.
It all depends on the creative talent in these projects. Last of Us and Fallout are good, but Halo is sad.
I understand opinions and all but...
What in the world was pretty good about the Halo series??
The only video game adaptation that I felt went above and beyond was the Sonic movies, and they almost fumbled the first one, Mario was alright too.
I'll get downvoted to hell for this but despite Jim Carrey as Robotnik I think the films could have been better, they shouldn't have included the real world, they should have stayed on Mobius. Hell I would have rather seen animation since the Sonic Mania / Origin cutscenes were great.
I still think the Sonic the Hedgehog OVA movie is better.
Usually agree but give Alex Garland a chance, his other movies are amazing, this is clearly a project aiming for a high standard as opposed to just some shameless cash grab.
Agreed, given his track record and in-depth research he puts into each project, not to mention writers and subject matter choices he makes, I would absolutely give Alex Garland a chance. I'm intrigued, and think he has a good chance of making this work.
Same! You can make an argument for each Miyazaki game but this one and Elden Ring always seemed like a god choice for live action (or animated series)
i meam, theres alot of material there sure but ... most of these enemies are .. non human.
is the movie gonna be mostly cgi? ha.
Star ocean 6. I'm toward the end and man it's a dope ass game.
I completely disagree with the article.
