FromSoftware Reportedly Rejected a Bloodborne Remake from Bluepoint, Not Sony

Something that many PlayStation and soulsborne fans have been hoping to see for a very long time now is some sort of remaster or remake for Bloodborne. It’s also something that just has not materialized despite keen fan interest and money-making potential. Between Sony’s continued lack of acknowledgement of fan interest and its recent closure…

Are Games Doomed to Corporatization?

At this point, Wildlight Entertainment’s Highguard is about as dead of a horse as it can be. It looked mid when it was revealed, it turned out to be mid when it was released, and its (very likely) failure has been examined and mocked from just about every angle. I didn’t (and still don’t) have…

Darwin’s Paradox! Demo Review

While the Internet says that Darwin’s Paradox! was first announced several years ago, I didn’t catch wind of it until one of Sony’s State of Play showcases from almost exactly a year ago.

Crimson Desert Developer Confirms No Microtransactions

I wonder, when was it that microtransactions became so ubiquitos in the big-budget gaming space that the lack of them became a legitimate selling point? Was it a year ago? Five years? Well, however long ago it started, having no microtransactions is still cause for celebration. Does their absence mean Crimson Desert will automatically be…

It’s Not a Bug, It’s a Feature

Glitches and bugs are as old as computers are and thus have been a constant companion to games too. No matter how simple or complicated a game may be, there’s almost no making it ironclad in terms of programming. I’m no code jockey, but it just looks to me that code segments often interact in…
