Scorn is a rough game so far. It's slow, send you down winding labyrinths with little guidance, offers zero narrative comforts (at least early on), and is set in a dramatically uncomfortable and grotesque world clearly inspired by the works of Swiss artist HR Giger. I've found it to be an unfun, painstaking…

     Gotham Knights co-op upped to four players in new game mode

When announced, the Gotham Knights co-op was just for two players in the superhero game, despite there being four characters: Robin, Nightwing, Batgirl, and Red Hood. While designing a Batman world around two players with heavy RPG game elements instead of four is what the team went for, many were hoping to suit up with three friends in Gotham. Turns out now you will, as WB Games Montréal has announced that a free four player mode will be coming to Gotham Knights after launch.

     Oblivion mod lets you order real pizza in the Bethesda RPG

We know gaming can leave you feeling peckish, so now an Oblivion mod lets you order a pizza in the classic Bethesda RPG game and have it actually arrive at your doorstep. Ever since the introduction of a Pizza Hut collaboration with MMORPG EverQuest II in 2005 that let players type /pizza into the in-game chat window to order a delicious dinner without so much as minimising their game, the idea of ordering real food through a virtual world has been a lofty aspiration. Now, you can do just that in The Elder Scrolls IV.

     Sims 4 Werewolves now more picky in love and won't eat whiteboards

The Sims 4 Werewolves are a recent addition to one of the best life games that arrived earlier this year, and a recent update has seen the lycanthropes changed in useful and funny ways, to make sure they're more in line with how EA wants them to be played. That means no more eating white boards and a lot more flirting, I guess.

     Overwatch 2 nerfs for Zarya, Genji, Dva, Sombra coming in season one

Overwatch 2 nerfs are on the way for several heroes, says Blizzard game director Aaron Keller, with tweaks expected for Zarya, Genji, Dva, and Sombra as some of the strongest-performing heroes in the FPS game's first week of release. Following a blog from the Overwatch 2 balance team, which suggested that the team was roundly very happy with the current Overwatch 2 meta and that balance changes would largely be held until season two in December, Keller took to Twitter to clarify that some tweaks are in the works.

     Dead Space remake has some horror game competition with this demake

The upcoming Dead Space remake wants to revitalise and bring the classic horror game to the modern era of gaming, but what if we took it back into the 90s instead? This is exactly what game designer Fraser Brumley is doing, as they're remaking Dead Space in their own way, by channelling the likes of the early Silent Hill and Resident Evil games.

     Starfield Reddit thinks we can 'kill' our parents in the Bethesda RPG

The Starfield Reddit is aflame with discussion of the upcoming Bethesda RPG game, and who can blame them. It's one of the most anticipated games of next year, and Bethesda has kept mostly quiet about what new mechanics and ideas we can expect from the space game. So naturally, the Starfield Reddit now thinks we might be able to kill our parents in the game, after the community did a little sleuthing.

     FIFA 23 Rulebreakers team, with Ronaldo, Fekir, and Godfrey

FIFA 23 Rulebreakers are a set of players that have their playstyle radically altered, while also having their overall rating upgraded. The players in this special release have had their stats changed, rather than just increased, so they feel different to use in the football game and offer an alternative to their regular counterparts.

The team of Rulebreakers includes some famous faces, with Cristiano Ronaldo, Gerard Pique, and Nabil Fekir all making the cut. The Juventus stalwart, Bonucci, has received a huge increase in pace, defending, and physical, whilst his dribbling has gone down a few points, turning him from a ball-playing defender to more of an old-school centre-back. Here is the full list of Rulebreakers:

pokemon scarlet violet guidebooks

The Paldea region will be a grand place to explore, it seems, as The Pokemon Company revealed that three guidebooks for Pokemon Scarlet and Violet will come out between November 2022 and February 2023. This is likely because the volume of new information in Scarlet and Violet would be too overwhelming for a single book. It is unknown at this point if these guidebooks will appear in English.

The first guidebook will come out on November 18, 2022, which is when the games will debut as well. It briefly touches on the three different story paths, but focuses more on the various areas in Paldea. You would use this book if you want to get all of the treasure on the field, and acts as a beginner's guide of sorts to help players with the basic mechanics. It will cost 1000 JPY.

The second one will come out on December 16, 2022. This one is more of a story walkthrough. It will also include development notes on the characters, similar to an art book. As well, the story walkthrough guidebook will come with a serial code that will grant players 100 Potions. It will cost 1540 JPY.

Finally, the last book to come out will appear in bookstores from February 2, 2023. This one is a Pokemon handbook for the Paldea region. Like previous handbooks, it will include their stats, images, and movesets. It will also have information that will be useful in raising them or learning how to use them effectively in battle. The Pokemon handbook will come with a serial code for 100 EXP Candies (S). It will cost 1760 JPY.

Pokemon Scarlet and Violet will come out for the Nintendo Switch from November 18, 2022. The Pokemon Scarlet and Violet guidebooks will be available in both physical and online storefronts.

sonic frontiers combat prologue

A new combat trailer for Sonic Frontiers is available, and Sega has also announced that there will be a prologue animation and comic for the game. The digital comic prologue will have two parts and the first one will debut on October 18, 2022. It is unknown when the prologue animation will appear.

The combat trailer shows the skill tree and level up mechanics in some more detail. When you first start your adventure as the blue hedgehog, you will have access to three basic moves: a stomp, a drop dash, and a homing attack. New skills and moves will be available as you level Sonic up. The trailer makes it fairly clear that you will need these skills for bosses later in the game, which may imply that you will need to use Sonic's more advanced skills on certain gimmicks.

The trailer also mentions skills such as Phantom Rush (a superpowered move you can use after you charge up your combat meter) and Cyloop (breaking shields). Sonic will also be able to parry attacks if you time your guard just right, which leaves your enemies wide open for your own combos. You can watch the combat trailer for Sonic Frontiers here:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I2tysfV9X18

As for the prologue content, the prologue comic's title is Convergence. The cover of it shows Sonic and Amy on top of a biplane that Tails is piloting, while a silhouette of Eggman looms behind him. It is unclear at this point if other characters such as Knuckles will appear at all in the prologue.

https://twitter.com/sonic_hedgehog/status/1580921453058269184

Sonic Frontiers will come out on November 8, 2022 for the PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X, Windows PC, and Nintendo Switch. Part 1 of the Sonic Frontiers prologue comic will be available online from October 18, 2022.

Final Fantasy X FFX Tidus and Yuna chibi plushes

New chibi plushes of Tidus and Yuna, the main characters of Final Fantasy X, will appear worldwide. Square Enix has opened pre-orders for the plushes on its Japanese website, where each plush is available separately at 4,180 yen. Both plushes are also available for pre-order on the North American Square Enix Store at $44.99 each.

The plushes will appear with chibi proportions, where the head appears larger than the rest of the body. Tidus' plush will have an approximate size of W 135mm x D 160mm x H 195mm (W 5.31 in × D 6.30 in × H 7.68 in), while Yuna's plush will have W 140mm x D 130mm x H 190mm (W 5.31 in × D 5.12 in × H 7.48 in).

Other than merchandise, Square Enix is also working on events related to Final Fantasy X. The company recently accepted a proposal from the Kabuki actor Kikunosuke Onoe V to produce a new Kabuki show based on the 2001 video game, which will go live at IHI Stage Around Tokyo in Spring 2023.

The chibi plushes of Tidus and Yuna from Final Fantasy X will appear in Japan on April 29, 2023, and in North America in May 2023. Both Tidus and Yuna are the main characters of the role-playing game that originally appeared on PlayStation 2 in 2001. Square Enix has since released HD remasters of the game and its direct sequel, Final Fantasy X-2, on the PS3, PS4, PlayStation Vita, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, and PC.
