Astral Chain Could Mark a New Era for PlatinumGames
You almost always know what you're going to get with a Platinum game. With very few exceptions, titles made in the developer's 10-year history are action games, built with cinematic pacing, a focus on highly skill-based input, and very little to do outside of the combat. All of which is why Astral Chain is so surprising.
Yes, the Switch exclusive is primarily an action game, but it's a very different kind of action game for Platinum. Where the likes of Bayonetta or The Wonderful 101 thrive on fighting game-like button pressing prowess, Astral Chain is more interested in movement and positioning. Controlling two characters at once, not to mention utilising the titular chain that binds them, turns the game's combat into more of a dance than a punch-up; less fury, more elegance.

Circuit Superstars Hands-On Preview: Fun Physics Based, Arcade Racing
After speaking to its designers, it's easy to tell Circuit Superstars was born from a place of passion. The developer, Original Fire Games, is composed of just six people--three of whom are siblings who grew up around not only video games, but motorsport. To put it simply, Circuit Superstars is a top-down racing game with arcade visuals, but with more realistic driving physics, and an additional attention to detail only true motorsport fans would probably think of.
I spoke to Carolina, Alberto, and Carlos Mastretta, the siblings behind Circuit Superstars, as I played an early-build. They emphasized their goal is to capture the essence of motorsport with Circuit Superstars, and bring the aspects of the sport they particularly enjoy to others through their game.

Tony Hawk and Neversoft Talk How Pro Skater Changed Their Lives
The skateboarding industry, much like the video game industry, is a massive web of marketing, of community, and of money -- all with a deep well of young men and women's aspirations fueling it along. They're both massively popular industries now - the International Olympics Committee has finally acknowledged skateboarding's cultural relevance - but it's funny to think that, less than a decade apart, both experienced massive turmoil. The great video game crash of 1983, and the early '90s crackdown on street skating threatened their lifeblood..
But together, both worlds came together to make something incredible. It helped turn Tony Hawk, a once-down-on-his-luck pro skater, into a living legend, and it turned Neversoft, a humble game studio full of rowdy, young developers, into a household name among gamers. 20 years ago this August, Tony Hawk's Pro Skater established a legacy that lives on to this day.

Blair Witch Review
Every once in a while, one of those horror games comes along that gets mythologized as a harrowing experience best left alone by anyone without a taste for relentless, oppressive fear. Blair Witch definitely deserves a spot in that pantheon alongside Amnesia, Silent Hill, and their like. The many ways it manages to build tension and make me wonder if I'm losing my mind with a fairly simple premise of being lost in some woods creates a wonderfully unsettling journey. And it even manages to break with the tradition of recent horror games by giving you limited ability to confront the nightmares without ever turning into a power fantasy.
This trip to the edges of sanity placed me, in first-person perspective, back in the Black Hills Forest of the classic 1999 film The Blair Witch Project. It's rendered here in an eerie, muted color palette that adds to a sense of foreboding and helplessness with its spindly, grasping trees and rich but subtle sound design. During the day, I always got the impression that I was being watched, or that I wasn't supposed to be there. At night, everything transforms into an oppressive, heart-pounding, sometimes disorienting nightmare that made me long for the limited relief the sun's rays could bring.

Gearbox Just Answered 9 of Your Borderlands 3 Questions

Yes, you can matchmake on a 'per mode' basis. If you want to specifically search for a Proving Grounds or Circle of Slaughter game, you can do that. – Chris Brock, Executive Producer
From the start of the "customization talk" on Borderlands 3, I wanted to push the aesthetics further and more dramatic than we ever have. It was important to get crazier with heads and skins, to support that gamut between really "cool" and really "silly." I feel like we hit that goal. We have crazy heads, animated skins, and even the option to change the colors on any skins in the game! That said, I love the idea of unique body swaps. As we look to the future, it makes more sense to support an idea like that on something down the road. Great idea! - Scott Kester, Art Director

Borderlands 3 Writer Wants To Pen Tales From The Borderlands Season 2
One of the lead writers behind Borderlands 3, Sam Winkler, has said he'd like to write a second season of Tales From The Borderlands.
Speaking to Comicbook.com, Winkler said, "I would love to pickup where Tales from the Borderlands Season 1 left off. There's so many unsolved threads there, and even though we brought some characters into Borderlands 3, there's still a lot of question marks.
"I am a die-hard fan of Tales, and I inserted some winks and nods that are probably going to drive some fan wiki articles," he added.
Tales From The Borderlands was created by Telltale Games before the studio's closure in 2018. Despite being dramatically different in gameplay to the main series and only ever releasing one season, its plot is canon in the Borderlands universe.

In other words, it seems the studio is planning to expand on the Cyberpunk franchise beyond 2077 giving it equal weight to The Witcher series.
"This migration towards a dual-franchise model supported by several independent product lines also permits optimization of manufacturing and financial activities, mitigates important risk factors and makes it easier for Company employees to seek professional fulfillment," it added.

Check out These Beautiful Shots from the Yakuza 7 Trailer
SEGA threw Yakuza fans for a loop this week with the reveal of Yakuza 7 in a gorgeous new reveal trailer. The new title, called Yakuza: Like a Dragon in the West, is due out in 2020 on PS4.
The new trailer shows off the newest protagonist Ichiban Kasuga and follows his story in Isezaki Ijin, Yokohama. In the trailer, he appears to turn himself into police, serve some time in prison, and is released 18 years later. The trailer, of course, has its emotional moments, but also shows off some of the quirkiness Yakuza is known for. Check out our favorite stills in the gallery below.
This iteration of Yakuza is a bit of an outlier, however, from what long-time fans might know the game to be. This Yakuza is steering away from its brawler roots to a turn-based combat system.

Creature in the Well Dev Discusses Hellboy and Other Inspirations
Much like its title monster, there's more to Creature in the Well than there might seem at first. Flight School Studio's unique "Pinbrawler" seems ostensibly simple, as I took control of a robot turning back on the power of a long-dormant facility despite the protests of the titular creature. But there's depth to its pinball-meets-hack-and-slash gameplay and definite finesse required to make it far in the action-adventure, where turning on the power is a matter of speed, power, and precision.
Watch the gameplay, with commentary from Flight School's Adam Volker, above to see one of the areas of Creature in the Well's mountain-embedded labyrinth, as well as the hub town located just outside. Volker walked me through the basics of what Creature in the Well plays like, both its inspirations in style and gameplay, how it started as a multiplayer-focused idea, and more.

Blizzard To 'Substantially' Increase WoW Classic Server Capacity
Blizzard has announced that it's "substantially increasing" its server capacity after huge queues of players began forming to play World of Warcraft Classic.
Since launch earlier this week, images started appearing online of players forming actual in-game lines waiting patiently to complete quests. Outside the game, other queues formed as saturated medium-sized realms couldn't let in any more players.
To combat this, Blizzard plans to increase realm capacity. Posting to the official WoW Classic forum, Blizzard said "with hotfixes that we are currently deploying to all WoW Classic realms, we are substantially increasing the number of players that can be simultaneously logged in and playing. We expect this to result in smaller queues for realms that have large queues, and some realms should no longer have queues at all."

Yakuza 7 Announced With Some Major Series Changes
Sega has officially unveiled the next chapter in the Yakuza series, which takes combat in a different direction to its predecessors.
Its full Japanese title is Ryu ga Gotoku 7, which roughly translates to Yakuza 7: Whereabouts of Light and Darkness - though its name in the West will likely be slightly different. Yakuza 7 is headlined by an all-new main character, Ichiban Kasuga, but the biggest shake up is its approach to how fighting plays out. The brawling action of past games is being swapped out for turn-based combat.
Gematsu has translated the Japanese press release which describes how the game uses a ""live command RPG battle" system that combines the series' signature action with an RPG-style command system. It has evolved into a system in which anyone can easily enjoy exhilarating battles. In this completely new battle system, Ichiban Kasuga and his party will fight by selecting techniques with various effects such as attack, recovery, support, and more."

Man of Medan Sequel, Little Hope, Teased For 2020
The next game in The Dark Pictures Anthology and sequel to Man of Medan has been announced. Revealed in a teaser trailer after the Man of Medan credits, the next game is called Little Hope and will be released in 2020.
The trailer features Bandersnatch and Midsommar's Will Poulter as Andrew, and appears to be set in a creepy town called Little Hope. A young girl with a creepy doll can be seen dancing around a fire, and Andrew's friend Angela is shown to be in trouble. Beyond that, the trailer offers very little indication as to what Little Hope's story is.
As an anthology series, The Dark Pictures presents each game as a standalone experience, rather than as a 'sequel' to the games before it. As far as we know there is no connection between Man of Medan and Little Hope in narrative or characters, but we wouldn't be surprised if there are hints or Easter eggs littered around the games.

Astral Chain Might Be the Best-Looking Game on Switch
I'm increasingly convinced that Astral Chain is the most beautiful game on Switch. Breath of the Wild is a gorgeous pastel-pastoral, Super Mario Odyssey still has that sheer cartoon charm, and the likes of Thumper and Ape Out drip with expressive style. But only PlatinumGames' latest has caused me to run out of room on my SD card through sheer weight of screenshots.
Its cyberpunk island-city setting, The Ark, is a blanketing haze of neon, either buzzing down from buildings, or reflected back up at you from rainfall-slick streets. Its characters feel like they've sprung into 3D from an anime, a grab-bag of pink hair, eyepatches and over-the-top animations. Even its frenetic, two-tone combat is an exercise in visual flair, the titular chain whipping across the battlefield, as both player and Legion (your semi-AI controlled living weapon) dance their way through combat.

The Best Games of 2019 So Far
With the end-of-year rush on the horizon, we're pausing to look back at the best games of 2019 so far. We've already covered the best games on each system — PS4, Xbox One, Switch, PC — but this list encompasses all platforms to provide a more complete look at this year's top reviewed games. Below you'll find all 35 games released in 2019 that received a review score of 8.5 or higher from IGN. Note that, despite their qualifying scores, expansions (e.g. Final Fantasy XIV: Shadowbringers) and ports (e.g. Cuphead and Unravel 2 on Switch) aren't included. Remakes (e.g. Resident Evil 2) are, however, since they are effectively new games rather than remasters.

The Dark Pictures: Man of Medan Review
I like my decisions to come with consequences, and The Dark Pictures: Man of Medan presents some strong ones, including one that determines whether or not I get to see Shawn Ashmore speared through the chest with a rusty spike. Unlike developer Supermassive Games' greatest horror hit to date, the cheesy Until Dawn, Man of Medan is a serious and brooding horror game that starts off too slow but maintains a welcome sense of dread in its latter half. A meaningful choice-and-consequence system makes a second or even third five-hour playthrough alluring, particularly when playing online co-op, where you each control one character and independently make decisions with the potential to screw each other over.

Speaking to the New York Times, Early said Ubisoft decided to stop selling its latest blockbuster games on Steam because Valve will not budge on its revenue sharing model, where Steam keeps 30 percent of a game's sale price.
"It's unrealistic, the current business model that they have," he said. "It doesn't reflect where the world is today in terms of game distribution." Early explained that the decision to not sell The Division 2 on Valve's platform was made as part of a larger business discussion at Ubisoft in regards to releasing games on Steam.

Borderlands 3's Mechs and Pets Are Skills You'll Actually Care About
Until recently, I had only a passing interest in Borderlands 3. I knew I'd play it, but it wasn't something I was excited for. But since the full character roster was announced, things are different. My interest in Borderlands 3 has notably peaked thanks to a couple of big reveals: the Iron Bear mech and FL4K's collection of pets.
Borderlands has always had varied character classes, but I've found them difficult to invest in. Deployable turrets, holographic decoys, and summonable drones are all useful battle tools, but they're simply functional. As such, I've generally found the Vault Hunters a bit, well... boring, which shouldn't be the case when you consider Borderlands' bombastic style. However, it looks like Borderlands 3 is solving this issue with Moze and FL4K by way of special abilities that are effectively dependable pals that you can build a 'bond' with and affection for, rather than soulless utilities on a belt.

Star Wars Battlefront 2 Loot Box Controversy: 'We Hit Rock Bottom," EA DICE Says

Star Wars Battlefront 2 was supposed to be EA DICE's definitive take on the Battlefront series, which EA inherited from Pandemic Studios. Unfortunately, the decision decision to include loot boxes that potentially allowed players to earn powerful upgrades, which players said were "pay-to-win," severely harmed the hype for the game ahead of its launch.

I spoke with Ryosuke Hara, a producer at CyberConnect2 for Dragon Ball Z Kakarot about how the characters will differ from each other and how character progression would work for multiple characters. "The abilities in general of the characters are very similar in order to be user-friendly, even for people who play these kinds of games for the first time. But on the other hand, you are able to raise different skills and parameters for each character," said Hara.

Ion Fury Devs Take Back Decision to Remove Homophobic Content
Update: In a new post on Steam from Terminx – lead developer on Ion Fury – a joint statement was shared from both Voidpoint and 3D Realms, stating they will not be removing any homophobic content from Ion Fury, counteracting what was vocalized previously after the developers made transphobic and sexist remarks in their Discord channel.
The statement can be read below:
"Joint statement from Voidpoint and 3D Realms:
We've caused a recent controversy suggesting Ion Fury game content was to be censored.
We will absolutely NOT be censoring Ion Fury or any of our other games, now or in the future, including but not limited to by removing gags such as gaming's most controversial facial wash.

New Tool Reunites Long Lost World of Warcraft Friends in Classic
Much has changed since World of Warcraft debuted in 2004: Azeroth's map has quadrupled in size; Deathwing twisted the landscape in Cataclysm; Arthas perished in Wrath of the Lich King; and Illidan has been introduced, killed, resurrected, and exiled again. But for players that have stuck it out for all 14 years, there is no better measurement of the passage of time than the memories of all the people you used to know. 2004 was pre-Facebook, pre-Twitter, and pre-Discord, which meant that a whole generation of internet friendships lived and died on World of Warcraft. We would only learn later how fraught that was, that those connections could be severed completely. Once they're gone, they're gone. Ask any Warcraft veteran: We've all lost people. If only we had the foresight to ask for their full names during those endless Dire Maul runs. You know, just in case the unthinkable happened.

Control Review
I wish Remedy could make even more games, because Control reminded me of this studio's knack for crafting engrossing, oddball worlds with an incredible sense of place. Control is perhaps Remedy's weirdest yet, with the talking upside pyramid who's also your boss being about the sixth-strangest part. But thanks to sharp writing, a set of awesome and varied psychic combat abilities, and an impressively thought-out world, it was easy to wrap my head around what made this adventure tick.
Infiltrating the Federal Bureau of Control as Jesse Faden and her blue wavy spirit buddy, I found myself fascinated. The Bureau's headquarters seems like a drab, nondescript office building at first, and Jesse's search for answers to events in her past was equally mundane at first. But Control quickly reveals what lies behind those concrete walls: within the first chapter I became both the janitor's assistant and the new acting director of the Bureau.

Astral Chain Review
PlatinumGames has a reputation for making action games that are both incredibly stylish and delightfully weird. Its latest, the Switch-exclusive Astral Chain, wholeheartedly embraces this tradition and pushes each aspect to the max. This is Platinum at its finest - its innovative combat system cleverly manages to make controlling two characters at once feel intuitive and deeply rewarding. Equally as impressive, the non-combat sequences charmingly bring this peculiar world and the characters who inhabit it to life.
The setup is a fairly typical one: after Earth became uninhabitable due to alien pollution, humanity migrated to the Ark, a futuristic metropolis filled with neon lights and, surprise(!), an alien invasion problem of its own.You know, the usual. You play as one of the two Howard twins - male or female - who is a part of an anti-alien task force that fights using robot allies called Legions. That's where the eponymous Astral Chain comes in - it's the tether between you and your Legion and lets you see the aliens, which are called Chimeras.

Ancestors: The Humankind Odyssey Review
When our distant ape ancestors got together and decided one day, roughly 10 million years ago, that they should evolve into humans, did they have an instruction manual that told them which two things to rub together to get there? No! They had to put pretty much everything they encountered into their mouths, one at a time, to figure out which was tasty and which was deadly poison. There was a lot of hard work, repetition, and death that turned out to be completely unnecessary in hindsight. Ancestors: The Humankind Odyssey does its very best to recreate much of that maddening blindness and futility and some of the associated sense of discovery in a beautiful prehistoric world, becoming an apt metaphor in the process.
