Kotaku Tuesday, January 31, 2023 10:45 PM  One of the most interesting developments in the emulation and coding scenes in recent years has been the increasing trend in taking classic old video games and completely reverse-engineering their code. |
Kotaku Tuesday, January 31, 2023 8:00 PM  I had three weeks off work over Christmas last year, and while I'd love to tell you I spent the whole time at the beach, relaxing with friends, sipping beers on a breezy summer's evening, the truth is I spent loads of that time indoors. Hunched in front of my TV. Playing Ghost of Tsushima. |
Kotaku Tuesday, January 31, 2023 6:30 PM  In August 2022, Epic Games—developers of Fortnite, custodians of the Epic Games Store, creators of the Unreal Engine, rich as God—published a melee-based battle royale game called Rumbleverse. It is now January 2023 (February already for me here in Australia), and the game is already being killed off. |
Kotaku Tuesday, January 31, 2023 5:39 PM  A substantial update for The Sims 4 dropped on PC and consoles today, and with it comes a new suite of control schemes and customization options. This involves things like hearing aids and shapewear, but one addition is expressly targeted at trans Simmers in an effort to make them feel included and visible. |
Kotaku Tuesday, January 31, 2023 5:25 PM  Apex Legends Mobile, the mobile port of EA and Respawn's popular battle royale shooter, is not long for this world. EA confirmed today, just eight months after the game's launch, that the free-to-play offshoot will be shutting down on May 1, 2023. What's more, EA plans to sunset Battlefield Mobile as well. |
Kotaku Tuesday, January 31, 2023 5:10 PM  Star Wars Jedi: Survivor got a March 17 release date just last month and it's already blowing past it. Electronic Arts announced the game will now come out at the end of April instead as developer Respawn Entertainment focuses on bug fixes, performance issues, and generally making sure the game doesn't come out busted… |
Rock Paper Shotgun Latest Articles Feed Tuesday, January 31, 2023 5:36 PM  The Sims 4 didn't have toddlers until they were added in 2017, and sims' early years will continue to telescope when March comes around. That's when infants will finally be added to the game, turning babies into full sims. The latest update also offered news on Project Rene, the eventual successor to The Sims 4. The key takeaways: it's not an MMO but it will have multiplayer as well as singleplayer, and it's years away from release. |

Takara Tomy announced the release of two new figures of Koraidon and Miraidon, the legendary Pokemon from Pokemon Scarlet & Violet, the latest entries in the franchise available for the Switch. Both figures will be 10cm tall, or about 4 inches. Each one of them will cost 1,650 yen (about $12). The Koraidon and Miraidon figures are now available for pre-order on Amazon Japan, and they are scheduled for a release date of March 25, 2023. [Thanks, Dengeki Hobby!] https://twitter.com/hobby_magazine/status/1620406600078086145 Both legendaries vaguely resemble Cyclizar, the Dragon/Normal type pokemon that can be seen all around the Paldea Region. Koraidon is a Dragon/Fighting legendary pokemon and the flagship creature of Pokemon Scarlet. It is known as the "Winged King" in old myths of the region, and it is said to be able to split the land in half with its bare fists. Meanwhile, Miraidon is a Dragon/Electric type legendary pokemon in Pokemon Violet. Similar to its counterpart, Miraidon is known as the "Iron Serpent," a creature capable of turning the land to ashes with its powerful lightning. If any players missed the chance to participate in the recent Greninja Tera Raid, do not worry. There is one last chance to catch Greninja. The Greninja Tera Raid will be available for one last time from February 10-13, 2023. Pokemon Scarlet and Violet are immediately available for the Nintendo Switch.

Square Enix seems to have taken action against members Team UNNAMED, the team of FFXIV Omega World First raiders. According to a tweet posted by member Haruka Setsuna, Square Enix is invalidating the achievement for members of the team and removing associated titles, gear, and items connected with the initial win. https://twitter.com/Haruka_Setsuna_/status/1620502206645669888 The tweet from Haruka Setsuna consists of an apology to the members of the Final Fantasy XIV community and their friends who supported them. They also reported that they received a punishment in-game, posting screenshots of a chat exchange with FFXIV Game Master (GM) "G.X." The exchange showed the GM stating that Square Enix confirmed that Haruka Setsuna was "involved with a captured video from The Omega Protocol (Ultimate) that included cheating." Although the player themselves did not directly commit the concerned act, the cheats used worked to their advantage, causing them to "profit from cheating." The GM stated that since the player did not commit fraudulent activity, an account warning would not be issued. However, the achievements and title obtained from clearing The Omega Protocol (Ultimate) would be removed from their character. They were also instructed to manually discard the weapon received from the clear immediately. Since the debut of Final Fantasy XIV's "The Omega Protocol (Ultimate)" raid on January 23, 2023, organized teams of players have been racing to be the first to complete the current top-level challenge in the game. Team UNNAMED in FFXIV were the first to report a clear on January 31, 2023 (Japan Time), but evidence emerged that members of the team had used third-party tools or hacks to gain an advantage. Producer and Director Naoki Yoshida issued a statement reiterating the rules against the use of third-party tools in-game. He also said that if Square Enix found that an FFXIV Omega World First raider was found using such methods, that the team would not recognize the feat officially. Final Fantasy XIV is available on the PC, PS4, and PS5. The Omega Protocol (Ultimate) appeared in Patch 6.31.

The Japanese Netflix Twitter account has announced that Misato Morita will play Kaori Makimura in the live-action adaptation of City Hunter. She will star alongside Ryohei Suzuki, who plays protagonist Ryo Saeba. The Tweet also includes a photo of how Misato looks like in Kaori's costume. You can check out how the live-action version of Kaori in City Hunter will look here: https://twitter.com/netflixjp/status/1620180185172647937 Morita is a live-action actress who debuted in 2011 as a commercial actress. Her talents include figure skating and classic ballet. However, it is unlikely that she will use these skills in her role as Kaori. Other roles that Misato played in the past include Chihara Koyama in She Loves to Cook And She Loves to Eat and Okuni in Shogun's Samurai. City Hunter is a manga series that ran from 1985 to 1991. It has received several anime and live-action adaptations in its native Japan. Its popularity has also led foreign countries such as Hong Kong and France to produce their own versions of City Hunter movies and shows. It focuses on Ryo Saeba, who is a private detective and womanizer in Tokyo. "City Hunter" is the name of his underground organization. Ryo's partner was Hideyuki Makimura, but with his death, Ryo takes care of Kaori. Kaori is Hideyuki's sister and she soon becomes his new partner. The Netflix City Hunter adaptation is in development and will come out in 2024. The post Misato Morita to Play Kaori in Netflix Live-Action City Hunter appeared first on Siliconera. |

Chilla's Art announced that its newest title, The Karaoke, will come out on February 3, 2023. It is already available on Steam for those who want to Wishlist it. The Karaoke will be a J-Horror game about a high school girl at a karaoke. From screenshots, it looks like it will have a similar aesthetic and play style to many of Chilla's Art's past games. As it is a J-Horror game, The Karaoke will only have Japanese audio. However, it will support a total of ten languages for its interface and subtitles. These languages include English, Korean, German, Simplified Chinese, Russian, and more. Outside of exploration and mystery-solving that is common in Chilla's Art games, there will also be basketball and karaoke mini-games. Games from Chilla's Art have been popular with streamers for several years now. They usually have a low-resolution retro aesthetic, as well as multiple endings. Some popular games from Chilla's Art include Aka Manto, The Convenience Store, and The Closing Shift. Though there are some exceptions, the gameplay usually features the protagonist experiencing bizarre phenomena over the course of several nights. They can gather clues to figure out the tragic history of the antagonist. This culminates into a final confrontation at the end. The Karaoke will come out on Windows PCs on February 3, 2023.

PC Invasion - FeedDDD Tuesday, January 31, 2023 7:41 PM  Upon defeating Kale and clearing the main story, Hi-Fi Rush presents you with a new task. Hidden in most of the game's tracks is a numbered Spectra Door leading to a special challenge that puts your knowledge of the combat system to the test. Think of like the secret missions from Devil May Cry or the Alfheim challenges in Bayonetta. You have likely already come across at least one of these doors on your initial playthrough, but the game prevents you from entering them until after the credits roll. If you wish to squeeze more mileage out of the game and tackle this postgame quest, this guide will go over how to find every Spectra Door in Hi-Fi Rush and beat the challenges within. Hi-Fi Rush: How to find and complete all Spectra Door challenges Track 1 Spectra Door You can access this Spectra Door soon after you finish Chorus 4 — the fight on the rooftop, to be more specific. Make your way to the first building where Smidge is located, head to the right, and look down. Yo... |
PC Invasion - FeedDDD Tuesday, January 31, 2023 6:51 PM  I know you weren't expecting a SpongeBob game to be insanely demanding, but the PC port for SpongeBob SquarePants: The Cosmic Shake is truly easy to run. The recommended Nvidia GPU is just a 1050 Ti. If you have modern hardware, you'll be able to run this game at rock-solid high framerates with ease. I played the game at 120 fps with an RTX 3090 and it was smooth sailing the whole way through. I don't recall any frame dips at all, but I did have at least one crash. The game autosaves constantly, though, and with three rotating autosaves, losing any significant progress is unlikely. If you played the remake of the early 00s game before, you likely know exactly what to expect, as this game isn't technologically all that different. The install size is also quite small, coming in at only 8.59 GB. But that's enough about all that. Let's take a look at the display, graphics, and control menus. No, this is Patrick Remember when I said we'd... |
PC Invasion - FeedDDD Tuesday, January 31, 2023 6:06 PM  Warlander shipped with three classes open to players: Warrior, Cleric, Mage. Each of them plays fairly differently, so you no doubt may wonder how to best use them in battle. Luckily, our Warlander class guide is here to show you soon-to-be warriors the ropes. Warlander – Beginner's class guide Warrior Screenshot by PC Invasion Warriors are the melee powerhouse class of Warlander, and we have some tips to guide you to battle. Your role is to push to the front and kill people, though you may poses some defensive powers. Practice and learn about your powers and abilities. Powerbomb is your bread-and-butter power, especially when it comes to killing Clerics and Mages. Make sure it's bound to your melee weapon set. The other useful power to have in the melee slot is the Shield Spin. It blocks essentially everything from the front arc, lasts quite a while, and may even protect your friends. For the ranged slot, adding some melee powers is great. Once executed, some melee powe... |

PC Invasion - FeedDDD Tuesday, January 31, 2023 5:28 PM  Coming into the new year, we have a slate of highly anticipated games worth adding to the wish list. Star Wars Jedi: Survivor, the sequel to the suprisingly good Jedi: Fallen Order, was among them. Thankfully, it still is, though fans will now have to hold off a little longer to continue the journey of Cal Kestis. Jedi: Survivor has been delayed, but it's not all bad news. Game Director Stig Asmussen dropped the news today in a message to the community. According to the post, Jedi: Survivor has been delayed from March 17 to April 28 in order to improve stability and polish. Asmussen writes that the team wants to "hit the Respawn quality bar," which requires a little bit of extra time. As mentioned, it's not all bad news. Certainly, a delay for one of the most hotly anticipated games of 2023 is always rough. But it's only a mere six weeks, and the end result should be a much more optimized game experience. In this age of modern games launching with graphica... |

WGB, Home of AWESOME Reviews Tuesday, January 31, 2023 7:24 PM Somehow we've made it to 2023, a glorious achievement for a species that seems completely intent on finding dumber and dumber ways to wipe themselves out.
