It's been a ✨while✨ since we've posted, huh? That's because our Bargaining team has been DEEP in negotiations over our first contract for over a year now. But we're finally getting towards the end, and we're hopeful that we can come to a fair agreement! I mean how could you say no to these faces?

I played a near-final build of Mouse: P.I. for Hire and was impressed at how much more there is to this first-person shooter besides just its gorgeous 1930's cartoon look and rubberhose animation style. Check out my preview if you're interested: www.ign.com/articles/mou...

Mouse: P.I. for Hire – The Final Preview - IGN

Mouse: P.I. for Hire, based on what I’ve played so far, is far more than its distinct 1930’s rubberhose-animated look. It sure seems to have legitimate gameplay depth and mechanics to it as well, and ...

I got a behind-closed-doors look at a new gameplay demo of Control Resonant, and I'm now extra hyped for it because it's not a soulslike at all; in Remedy's own words, it's a fast-paced character action game! My first impressions: www.ign.com/articles/con...

Control Resonant First-Look Preview – This Is No Soulslike. It’s Faster - IGN

We got a look at a behind-closed-doors gameplay demo of Control Resonant, and it’s not just that it's a markedly different and not just a same-y sequel, but it’s that its melee combat might scratch my...

Everyone thought Sony was the villain in the "Why hasn't there been a Bloodborne remake?" story, but in true Scooby-Doo fashion, when the perpetrator was finally unmasked, it turns out it was FromSoftware all along! Nice scoop by @jasonschreier.bsky.social here: www.ign.com/articles/blo...

Bloodborne Remake Was Reportedly Pitched by Bluepoint and Accepted by Sony, But FromSoftware Turned It Down - IGN

Bluepoint, the studio behind the successful Shadow of the Colossus and Demon's Souls remakes, reportedly pitched a Bloodborne remake last year that was rejected not by Sony, as many have thought, but ...

Sony closing ranks on consoles while PC gaming continues to grow is...an interesting strategy. They are zigging while Microsoft zags. Obviously PlayStation is in a MUCH stronger position than Xbox right now, but I wonder how this plays out over five years. www.ign.com/articles/con...

'Console Is Where They Want to Be' — Reports Indicate Sony Is 'Pulling Away' From PC for Single-Player PlayStation Games - IGN

Sony is reportedly pulling away from PC when it comes to single-player PlayStation games to focus more on console exclusivity.

I played the first hour of Samson: A Tyndalston Story, which is from the creator of Just Cause and a bunch of ex-Avalanche folks. It's a gritty brawler that has a AA scope but looks AAA. I had a great time with it. Here's my preview if you're interested: www.ign.com/articles/sam...

Samson: A Tyndalston Story Plays Like a Brawler Set in Max Payne’s New York – IGN Fan Fest - IGN

If the gritty, pseudo-open-world brawler Samson: A Tyndalston Story (from former Just Cause and Mad Max developers) can keep its mission variety fresh – which is no small thing, I recognize – it’ll go...

My interpretation of Todd Howard's quote here is that they're probably ditching the base-building stuff we saw in Fallout 4 & Starfield. Which, selfishly, I'd be in favor of. I never personally enjoyed that part of those games. (P.S. Nice get @gameovergreggy.bsky.social!) www.ign.com/articles/the...

The Elder Scrolls 6 Will Return to Bethesda's 'Classic Style' After Detours With Skyrim, Fallout 76, Says Todd Howard - IGN

The Elder Scrolls 6 is going to be a return to Bethesda's "classic style" of games, according to Bethesda director Todd Howard.

My daughter and I are only like an hour into Reanimal after getting started last night, but I'm really enjoying it so far! Definitely a lot of Limbo/Inside vibes (and obviously Little Nightmares), which of course is like catnip to me. 😂

Our final preview of the sublime-looking @replacedgame.bsky.social is now online, courtesy of my colleague @cardy.bsky.social. I'm glad to see that I'm not the only one crazy-excited for this 2.5D pixel-art beauty after getting a chance to play it. Check it out: www.ign.com/articles/rep...

I say this not as an attempt to hate or dunk on it, but I can genuinely say that even though it's only been out for four months, I rarely hear about – or see – the iPhone Air anymore. For those that bought one, how are you feeling about it 100+ days later?

If you heard me talking about Full Spectrum Warrior on our Top 100 Xbox Games of All Time (Part 1) episode of Unlocked we posted over the weekend, thanks to @artynintendoguy.bsky.social for letting me know that it's on sale for $3.74 this week. That's about as close to free as you can get!

Art Y@artynintendoguy.bsky.social · 6mo ago

Ok, @dmc-ryan.bsky.social. I’ll bite on this one. I’m a 40 year old guy who never touched this one. I do remember it though.

If you'd like to get a few more details on Fable, I interviewed game director and studio head Ralph Fulton about things like the dog (or lack thereof), the size of the game world, the project's origins, and more! Full interview text on IGN: www.ign.com/articles/wev...

WTF? Prince of Persia: Sands of Time Remake canceled? Ubisoft NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO. And it was only one of six cancellations. So help me God if one of the other cancellations was the Splinter Cell remake... www.ign.com/articles/ubi...
