Despite the struggles AAA has been going through over the past year or so, it seems at least one major industry player, Sony, is still very focused on big budget titles. The focus has, seemingly, even grown to the point where even long-lived and much-beloved studios like Japan Studios are now being shuttered to bolster…

Where ‘Retro’ Ends and ‘Classic’ Begins
Now that we’re squarely in the midst of 2025, it’s really been hitting how many of my favorite games from my student days now fall in the “retro” category of games. Where the likes of the GameCube and PS2 were once the new hotness, they’re now practically fossils. Heck, the younger member of the gaming…

It’s been over a year since Capcom confirmed that Resident Evil 9 was in development, but so far the publisher hasn’t said anything else about the game. With AAA games being the overly massive projects they are these days, I’m not really surprised, but it seems that there is a reason for Capcoms silence.
There’s Nothing Quite Like a Good Party Game
When it comes to multiplayer gaming these days, things have mostly moved online. It’s a natural development, I suppose. Online multiplayer was an instant game-changer once it got real support on the Xbox 360 and PS3, causing many a developer to consider local multiplayer as an obsolete feature in the current era. After all, what…
