Destiny 2 has gotten a bunch of hotfixes since the Lightfall expansion launched several weeks ago, but none like yesterday's update. A fix not mentioned in the patch notes secretly changed the game's newest Warlock armband armor to make it look less like a vagina.

     Destiny 2 commendations for the sickest drip would be dope

Destiny 2 fashion Commendations could pump some energy into the FPS game's lacklustre system, players say. Bungie introduced its Commendations system with the launch of Lightfall and Destiny 2 season 20, but some players are complaining that Destiny 2 Commendations, while well-meaning, are not a particularly worthwhile addition to Destiny 2.

     All Resident Evil 4 Remake blue medallion locations

Looking for every Blue Medallion location in Resident Evil 4 Remake? The small blue disks are littered around the environment in Resident Evil 4 Remake, and early on, you'll find blue flyers requesting that you destroy them all. Turning in these requests at the Merchant will net you Spinels - which you can in turn trade with the Merchant for exclusive upgrades and trinkets.

Since collectingSpinels in Resident Evil 4 Remake is so vital for grabbing valuable items from the Merchant, such as the stock for the Red9 handgun, you'll need to complete many requests in one of the best PC games of the year, and by far the simpler ones to complete are to shoot down all of the Resident Evil 4 Remake blue medallions.

     Resident Evil 4 Remake Church puzzle solution

The Resident Evil 4 Church puzzle involves a gorgeous stained glass decorative piece, which you must align to reveal the Los Illuminados symbol which then unlocks a secret gate. While this puzzle may look incredible, with the stained glass bathing the church pews in red, blue, and green light, it can be frustrating if you're not sure where to look or what to do.

This puzzle comes early on in the horror survival game, and one of the best PC games of all time, before you've even found Ashley Graham who, as we discuss in our Resident Evil 4 Remake review, hasn't much improved from the damsel in distress she was in the original. Provided you've already completed both the Resident Evil 4 Remake combination lock puzzle and the Crystal Marble puzzle, you're then informed of Ashley's location, a church run by Los Illuminados. Once you get there though, another puzzle awaits you, in true Resident Evil fashion. There are three parts to this one, so here's everything you need to know to solve the Resident Evil 4 Remake church stained glass puzzle.

     How to get the Resident Evil 4 Remake Assault Rifle

The Resident Evil 4 Remake Assault Rifle is a powerful choice for those who feel the regular sniper rifle fires too slowly. Its power level is decent enough, though rifle ammo is quite hard to come by, meaning it's not a top-tier weapon. Nevertheless, it's required to complete one of the game's many challenges.

So if you want to add the Resident Evil 4 Remake Assault Rifle to your Resident Evil 4 Remake weapons cache, you need to follow some very specific steps. Thankfully it's backtracking through a section of one of the best PC games you've just been through, but as Leon instead. Given that he has a gun, the knights shouldn't be too much trouble.

     Resident Evil 4 Remake Crystal Marble puzzle

The Resident Evil Remake Crystal Marble puzzle is one that perhaps troubles people the most as it's pretty finickity - but then what would a Resident Evil game be without a puzzle or two to stop you in your tracks. There's no denying that Resident Evil 4 and its remake are more action heavy than its predecessors, but the early chapters at least feature a good few puzzles to flex your brain muscles to.

Already one of the best PC games around, even before the remake, Resident Evil 4 sees fan-favourite protagonist Leon Kennedy return after the destruction of Raccoon City, this time chasing a damsel in distress through Spain - something we touch on in our Resident Evil 4 Remake review. In Chapter 2, early in your hunt for "Baby Eagle", AKA Ashley Graham, you find yourself in the Village Chief's Manor, where you must unlock a door with a crystal ball… obviously. If you can't find the crystal marble, then you need our guide to solving the Resident Evil 4 Remake combination lock puzzle first, but once you have it in your possession, here's how to line up the dots in the Resident Evil 4 Remake Crystal Marble puzzle.

     How many chapters are in Resident Evil 4 Remake?

Compared to the original, the Resident Evil 4 Remake chapters are spread out a lot further. The story still follows the same beats as the original game, for the most part, anyway, but some extended sequences and new tweaks make it necessary for the game to add additional chapters. Heck, some throwaway boss fights and sequences in the remake are now entirely different, and if we're being honest, a lot more fun.

So for those wanting to know how long Resident Evil 4 Remake is, we have a list showing the distribution of the Resident Evil 4 Remake chapters. This can help those searching for all the collectibles, such as the Resident Evil 4 Remake blue medallions, to complete all the Resident Evil 4 Remake achievements. Since you can't return to each section afterwards, we have a short rundown of how the game splits chapters across the main story.

Puzzled by the Resident Evil 4 Remake combination lock puzzle? The solution is pretty simple, but the trouble is in knowing where to find it. The combination lock is a Resident Evil staple, whether there's a useful resource hidden behind it - or, as is the case here, a necessary item to allow you to progress.

Easily one of the best PC games right now, and of the last 20 years, the Resident Evil 4 Remake is here, and, as we discuss in our glowing Resident Evil 4 Remake review, does justice to the original. While there are fewer puzzles in the remake than the series' previous survival horror games, there are still plenty to keep you busy, and the combination lock puzzle in chapter two is just one of the first. If you're stuck in the Village Chief's Manor on your way to the church and can't progress, the item you need is hidden behind the combination lock on the ground floor, so here's how to solve the Resident Evil 4 Remake combination lock puzzle.

You will see one of the many Diablo 4 error codes if you run into an issue during the open beta period. These numbers have a meaning to the developers, but deciphering precisely what that means for you can be tricky as the game doesn't provide any further feedback for some error codes.

While many of these indicate issues with the servers occurred during the opening few hours of the Diablo 4 beta release date, there are at least a couple where you can do something to try and resolve it. So if you're in the same boat, struggling to play the beta for the highly anticipated RPG game, take a look at these error codes to see if you can fix any of them.

Want to know how to complete all the Resident Evil 4 Remake achievements? There are 101 tasks for you to complete in Resident Evil 4 Remake, mercifully separated into categories, such as main story, weapons, and feats, among a few others. For most of them, you'll earn CP, which you can spend in the Extra Content shop once you finish the game, but finishing others earns you more tantalising goodies.

Though these are "challenges" in the horror game, the Resident Evil 4 Remake achievements range wildly from completing all of the requests, including finding and shooting down all the Resident Evil 4 Remake blue medallions, to defeating one of the Resident Evil 4 Remake bosses without missing a single shot. If you want to get all the Resident Evil 4 Remake unlockables, you'll need to play the game multiple times to get that all-important Resident Evil 4 Remake S Rank.

     How to get S Rank in Resident Evil 4 Remake

Want to know how to get the Resident Evil 4 Remake S Rank? Much like the original, and if we're honest, in every Resident Evil game, there is a speed-running element that rewards you with powerful items if you master the game's movement and efficiently kill the biologically altered monsters trying to eat your delicious brains. Despite the scores after each chapter saying otherwise, achieving this goal isn't as complex as it seems.

You see, the only two things that affect whether or not you get the S Rank in Resident Evil 4 Remake are the difficulty setting you set the game to at the beginning and your total completion time. However, what if we told you there is now an S+ Rank, and you have to start a fresh save to get it? It's a challenge only fans of one of the best PC games would even consider, and one we can try to help you achieve by listing the requirements.

     Diablo 4 beta world boss – Ashava spawn times and location

The Diablo 4 beta world boss is enough to give you pause. This hulking demon is a pestilent abomination that effortlessly steals the life of wayward adventurers using its scythed talons – but you won't find it lurking at the end of a dungeon. Instead, Ashava the Pestilent's hellish portal only appears at set times, and it's easy to miss. We're here to help make sure you get her.

While there will undoubtedly be a whole host of bosses to take on once we're able to explore the open-world game in its entirety, there is currently only one Diablo 4 world boss that you can expect to encounter in the beta. Here's the lowdown on Ashava the Pestilent's location and spawn times, so you can get the full beta experience of what might be one of the best PC games of this year.

Join us for another PAX East game highlight straight from the show floor, and this time we decided to revisit a cult horror classic: Alone In The Dark. This psychological horror is being developed by Pieces Interactive with publishing backing from THQ Nordic and is a love letter to the original game released back in the 90s.

As someone who had played the original, and RPS' Resident Evil uber fan, Liam decided to check out the demo and you can hear his impressions in the video below:

According to the devs at the THQ booth, this demo is a stand-alone prequel story that will not be in the final game, but shares the same eerie atmosphere and action that'll be in the main game. This reimagining is set in the Gothic American south and in the main game you'll be playing as Edward Carnby or Emily Hartwood as they navigate the monster infested Derceto Manor, the same mansion featured in the demo.

We've had our eyes on Goodbye Volcano High since it appeared in Sony's State Of Play back in February and the demo at PAX East is one of the first times that the devs have placed a game preview in the hands of eager players. I had the chance to sit down with the demo and play KO_OP's teen dino adventure first hand. Check out the video below if you're interested to know what I thought:

Goodbye Volcano High follows a group of teen dinos as they begin their senior year of highschool. It's part coming-of-age visual novel part rhythm game as the group try to grapple with school while also trying to make it big as up-and-coming musicians.

I had a great time with the demo, and it looks like we won't have to wait long for the full release at Goodbye Volcano High is launching on Steam and PlayStation on June 15th.

It's almost become an RPS tradition to search the show floor at PAX events and find the coolest stuff and highlight it in a video, so that's exactly what we've done at PAX East. There's a lot of cool booths, fun props, and generally weird stuff to see, so we've chosen our absolute favourites and have listed them in video form for your viewing pleasure.

Everything at PAX East is situated in one massive hall (instead of PAX West's multiple floors, rooms, and buildings) so it's nice and easy to see everything in one or two loops. It doesn't feel cramped at all, even with Friday's busy crowds, and the booths are as spectacular as ever.

Some of our favourites included Devolver Digital's movie theatre-inspired booth, which has the new addition of a candle-lit shrine for Cult Of The Lamb's upcoming free expansion Relics Of The Old Faith. We also loved Ysbryd Games' Demonschool booth which had a school desk layout and cool retro TV. Another favourite was the animated robot dinosaur (complete with rideable saddle) that we found at the Roots Of Pacha demo builds.

"Imagine someone saying 'We need you to make a trailer for our movie, but we've only got half of the sets and props ready…" says Tim Bevan de Lange, Creative Director at Realtime Nordic, a studio that makes, specifically, video game trailers. "...and we haven't actually shot anything, so you'll need to do that yourself. Some of the actors won't come out of their trailers. One of them will but if you shoot him from the front you realise he's got no eyes, but don't show the audience that. It's not intentional, he's getting them fixed. Also can you film it twice, for different streaming platforms? Make a really good version for Netflix and a slightly worse looking one for Quibi."

Every so often a game trailer comes along that makes me think, hang on, that was bloody brilliant! I bet some people made that! Most recently it was Creative Assembly's Immortal Empires trailer. Well, I've been digging around and I'm happy to report that yes, although I'm the first one to just see a trailer as an algorithm trying to snatch my coin purse away like a manure-encrusted Victorian ne'er-do-well, game trailers are made by humans. They're often humans who do it as as specific job, either in-house at a developer or as an outside agency like Realtime Nordic. Enlightened and enthralled, I asked some of them about what went into the strange space that is making the trailers for your favourite games.

I can't remember if I've already banged on about what a terrible, unhelpful term "metroidvania" is, so let's skip past to say that Angel's Gear reminds me of the one Castlevania game I've ever played.

It's partly the tone: a compelling blend of gothic and biomechanical horror, with a 90s game boy goriness that's cartoony enough to feel colourful rather than repulsive. "Camp" isn't the right word, but a hint of melodrama gives the story severity without self-seriousness. I mean, within the first minute of the game, your soldier goes from a terrified Normandy-style amphibious assault on a fortified metal church to seeing their war made irrelevant when the moon explodes. The whole thing is kind of metal, to be honest.

Occultist Unlock Diablo IV

The Occultist in Diablo IV is perhaps one of the most important NPCs you will have access to throughout the game. The Occultist performs a variety of actions for the player, which includes the ability to apply Aspects and remove Aspects from weapons. This will be integral to creating end game builds fit to tackle some of the most challenging content in the game. This guide will break down how you can unlock the Occultist in Diablo IV.

First, you will need to complete the Prologue in Diablo IV. This is easy enough and should only take ten or twenty minutes depending on your actions. You will know once you've completed the Prologue, since reaching Kyovashad and seeing Lorath off will now open up the main player hub.

The next step is relatively simple, as players will need to complete a Dungeon in order to unlock access to the Occultist in Diablo IV. Dungeons can be found throughout Sanctuary and are marked with an icon that looks a bit like a grated door. You can see the icon and the example of a Dungeon below. This can be tackled at any level, so you can get immediate access to this NPC within your first hour of the game.

How to Unlock Occultist Diablo IV

Dungeons reward players with unique class specific Aspects. So it is worth checking out which Dungeons will potentially be beneficial for you to run for your build.

Diablo IV will launch on June 6, 2023 for the PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X, and PC. The open beta will run March 24-27, 2023.

FFXIV Players Can Expect Heart of Sabik Details in the 'Near Future'

At PAX East 2023, one of the fan questions for FFXIV Director and Producer Naoki Yoshida asked if there would ever be more details about the Heart of Sabik. Details about that Ultima Weapon auracite have been vague. However, Yoshida noted that it will come up again during the game. He also said people can expect to hear about it in the "near future."

Here's exactly what Yoshida had to say about the future of the Heart of Sabik in FFXIV.

We might not delve 100% into it, but we do anticipate having some narrative that involves discussion of the Heart of Sabik. I'm not going to say what in particular. But just look forward to it.

Yoshida then followed that up by saying it would come up again sometime in the "near future." He didn't elaborate as to how it might reappear.

Square Enix still left much about the Heart of Sabik a mystery since it came up. It powers The Ultima Weapon, and it was touched upon during The Sorrow of Werlyt storyline.

During the panel, Yoshida also talked about the 7.0 graphics update. He also teased that the team is working on higher estate furnishing limits for 7.X.

Final Fantasy XIV is available for the PS4, PS5, and PC.

Yoshida FFXIV 'Goals' Include Higher Estate Furnishing Limits, Support for Regions

The last fan question at the PAX East 2023 Final Fantasy XIV panel asked Director and Producer Naoki Yoshida what his personal aims might be for the game for the next 10 years. While he initially brought up the possibility of increased support for more regions and platforms, he also noted that the FFXIV estate furnishing limits will increase sometime in 7.X.

Here's what Yoshida's had to say about what'd he'd like to achieve in the future with FFXIV, and the tidbit about estate furnishing limits came up at the end:

Personal goal, right?

I mean, I do mention that Final Fantasy XIV is my life's work. But at the same time, it is, well, work. It is a business. It might not tie necessarily into my "personal" personal.

For example, with Final Fantasy XIV I know there are certain regions that don't have full support. So for example, setting up a physical data center so that we don't have to worry too much about latency. Or there are certain languages that not supported, so it would be nice if we could start working on looking into some of those.

Otherwise, platforms… there are still certain platforms that we're not, we don't have the game on.

And then another thing would be, and this would be quite an undertaking, trying to connect all of the different regions so that no matter where you are in the world, you'll be able to sync up with and party up with other players.

That said, we've been running the game for over 10 years at this point, but each time, it's one step forward. With each system, it would be a little incremental improvement that we make or the different elements that we're kind of building upon one another. So with Endwalker of course, narrative-wise we've reached a sort of conclusion, but we still want to deliver surprising and exciting story. I think continuing to build on that seems like a long way to go? But I think that might actually be the closest way to get there.

And something in the near, can I say near, future on this. We're thinking 7.X series? We would love to look into increasing the number of furnishings you can place in your estate. We're working really hard. It'll be a bit of a wait, but…

But yeah, I mean, even now everything is just building upon the different blocks we're laying down. That's how Final Fantasy XIV has gotten as big as it has. I think we just want to keep going. Also, I think we are building upon the things we have put into the game, but then we love the communication that we have with our players. I think you guys are a big part of the steps that we're taking to put more things into the game. I feel like this communication has built up a trust between the developers and players.

Oh, and that kind of gave me an idea for my personal goal. 10 years from now I would love to be back at PAX East and to see you guys again.

In addition to the 7.X estate furnishing increase and thoughts about additional FFXIV platforms and regions, Yoshida briefly discussed the graphics update. He noted the team did a "midway review" ahead of the 2023 Fan Festival in Las Vegas.

Final Fantasy XIV is available for the PS4, PS5, and PC.

Mega Man NT Warrior anime is free until september

Mega Man NT Warrior anime is now available to watch for free on the Capcom USA YouTube channel. The videos will be available until September 30, 2023. The company uploaded the first two seasons, making this the first time that all these episodes will be available digitally in English. [Thanks, Lukar on Resetera!]

Each season has its own playlist consisting of 52 and 46 videos, respectively. Check out the first episode of Mega Man NT Warrior anime below:

https://youtu.be/jHXdlMTWxA4

The first chapter of the second season, Axess, is in its original Japanese version with English subtitles. Some viewers commented that certain episodes do not have their corresponding names, which could be due to the English localization of Axess skipping five episodes during its original broadcast.

Capcom announced that it would make these two seasons of the anime available after completing a marathon of the series on Twitch that started last March 21, 2023. This is all part of a campaign in preparation for the release of the Mega Man Battle Network Legacy Collection.

The Mega Man NT Warrior anime will be available for free on Capcom USA's YouTube channel until September 30, 2023. Mega Man Battle Network Legacy Collection will appear on April 14, 2023, on the Switch, PlayStation 4, and PC.

Now there's an official release date. It will begin streaming on the service on May 11, 2023. There's also a new key visual showing off Ultraman.

Here's the official Netflix announcement, which includes the latest key art for the final season 3 of Ultraman.

To help catch up, Netflix also shared an official teaser back in February. It offers hints at what Shinjiro Hayata, this series' Ultraman, dealt with in the past and will face in the future. It poses a number of existential questions as Shinjiro considers who he is and what he's doing.

     All Resident Evil 4 Remake blue medallion locations

Looking for every Blue Medallion location in Resident Evil 4 Remake? The small blue disks are littered around the environment in Resident Evil 4 Remake, and early on, you'll find blue flyers requesting that you destroy them all. Turning in these requests at the Merchant will net you Spinels - which you can in turn trade with the Merchant for exclusive upgrades and trinkets.

Since collectingSpinels in Resident Evil 4 Remake is so vital for grabbing valuable items from the Merchant, such as the stock for the Red9 handgun, you'll need to complete many requests in one of the best PC games of the year, and by far the simpler ones to complete are to shoot down all of the Resident Evil 4 Remake blue medallions. Here is everything you need to know.

     Resident Evil 4 Remake Church puzzle solution

The Resident Evil 4 Church puzzle involves a gorgeous stained glass decorative piece, which you must align to reveal the Los Illuminados symbol which then unlocks a secret gate. While this puzzle may look incredible, with the stained glass bathing the church pews in red, blue, and green light, it can be frustrating if you're not sure where to look or what to do.

This puzzle comes early on in the horror survival game, and one of the best PC games of all time, before you've even found Ashley Graham who, as we discuss in our Resident Evil 4 Remake review, hasn't much improved from the damsel in distress she was in the original. Provided you've already completed both the Resident Evil 4 Remake combination lock puzzle and the Crystal Marble puzzle, you're then informed of Ashley's location, a church run by Los Illuminados. Once you get there though, another puzzle awaits you, in true Resident Evil fashion. There are three parts to this one, so here's everything you need to know to solve the Resident Evil 4 Remake church stained glass puzzle.

     How to get the Resident Evil 4 Remake Assault Rifle

The Resident Evil 4 Remake Assault Rifle is a powerful choice for those who feel the regular sniper rifle fires too slowly. Its power level is decent enough, though rifle ammo is quite hard to come by, meaning it's not a top-tier weapon. Nevertheless, it's required to complete one of the game's many challenges.

So if you want to add the Resident Evil 4 Remake Assault Rifle to your Resident Evil 4 Remake weapons cache, you need to follow some very specific steps. Thankfully it's backtracking through a section of one of the best PC games you've just been through, but as Leon instead. Given that he has a gun, the knights shouldn't be too much trouble.

The Resident Evil Remake Crystal Marble puzzle is one that perhaps troubles people the most as it's pretty finickity - but then what would a Resident Evil game be without a puzzle or two to stop you in your tracks. There's no denying that Resident Evil 4 and its remake are more action heavy than its predecessors, but the early chapters at least feature a good few puzzles to flex your brain muscles to.

Already one of the best PC games around, even before the remake, Resident Evil 4 sees fan-favourite protagonist Leon Kennedy return after the destruction of Raccoon City, this time chasing a damsel in distress through Spain - something we touch on in our Resident Evil 4 Remake review. In Chapter 2, early in your hunt for "Baby Eagle", AKA Ashley Graham, you find yourself in the Village Chief's Manor, where you must unlock a door with a crystal ball… obviously. If you can't find the crystal marble, then you need our guide to solving the Resident Evil 4 Remake combination lock puzzle first, but once you have it in your possession, here's how to line up the dots in the Resident Evil 4 Remake Crystal Marble puzzle.

     How many chapters are in Resident Evil 4 Remake?

Compared to the original, the Resident Evil 4 Remake chapters are spread out a lot further. The story still follows the same beats as the original game, for the most part, anyway, but some extended sequences and new tweaks make it necessary for the game to add additional chapters. Heck, some throwaway boss fights and sequences in the remake are now entirely different, and if we're being honest, a lot more fun.

So for those wanting to know how long Resident Evil 4 Remake is, we have a list showing the distribution of the Resident Evil 4 Remake chapters. This can help those searching for all the collectibles, such as the Resident Evil 4 Remake blue medallions, to complete all the Resident Evil 4 Remake achievements. Since you can't return to each section afterwards, we have a short rundown of how the game splits chapters across the main story.

Puzzled by the Resident Evil 4 Remake combination lock puzzle? The solution is pretty simple, but the trouble is in knowing where to find it. The combination lock is a Resident Evil staple, whether there's a useful resource hidden behind it - or, as is the case here, a necessary item to allow you to progress.

Easily one of the best PC games right now, and of the last 20 years, the Resident Evil 4 Remake is here, and, as we discuss in our glowing Resident Evil 4 Remake review, does justice to the original. While there are fewer puzzles in the remake than the series' previous survival horror games, there are still plenty to keep you busy, and the combination lock puzzle in chapter two is just one of the first. If you're stuck in the Village Chief's Manor on your way to the church and can't progress, the item you need is hidden behind the combination lock on the ground floor, so here's how to solve the Resident Evil 4 Remake combination lock puzzle.

You will see one of the many Diablo 4 error codes if you run into an issue during the open beta period. These numbers have a meaning to the developers, but deciphering precisely what that means for you can be tricky as the game doesn't provide any further feedback for some error codes.

While many of these indicate issues with the servers occurred during the opening few hours of the Diablo 4 beta release date, there are at least a couple where you can do something to try and resolve it. So if you're in the same boat, struggling to play the beta for the highly anticipated RPG game, take a look at these error codes to see if you can fix any of them.

     Stunning Fallout 4 mod finally makes it feel like a real RPG game

One of the central complaints about Fallout 4, and perhaps Bethesda RPG games generally, is how it partially forces you to play a certain type of character. Your backstory is given to you. Your objective - rescue Shaun - is pretty rigid, and makes freeform exploration feel like a guilty pleasure. If the goal of Fallout 4 mods is to expand, overhaul, and transform the 2015 original, this new one might be one of the best - and throws in some of that classic Fallout New Vegas story building to boot.

Diablo 4 mounts are the best way of getting from A to B in Sanctuary and are perfect if you're above walking. Mounts are ridable creatures that not only increase your movement speed but can also improve your defensive stats, and besides waypoints, they're the fastest mode of transportation in the ARPG.

While rewarding, exploring the Diablo 4 map can eventually turn into a chore, especially if you're grinding gear to perfect your best Diablo 4 Barbarian build. Equipping a mount cuts down your travel time, and lets you concentrate on the most important thing: killing everything in sight.

Much like the original, and if we're honest, in every Resident Evil game, there is a speed-running element that rewards you with powerful items if you master the game's movement and efficiently kill the biologically altered monsters trying to eat your delicious brains. Despite the scores after each chapter saying otherwise, achieving this goal isn't as complex as it seems.

You see, the only two things that affect whether or not you get the S Rank in Resident Evil 4 Remake are the difficulty setting you set the game to at the beginning and your total completion time. However, what if we told you there is now an S+ Rank, and you have to start a fresh save to get it? It's a challenge only fans of one of the best PC games would even consider, and one we can try to help you achieve by listing the requirements.

"Imagine someone saying 'We need you to make a trailer for our movie, but we've only got half of the sets and props ready…" says Tim Bevan de Lange, Creative Director at Realtime Nordic, a studio that makes, specifically, video game trailers. "...and we haven't actually shot anything, so you'll need to do that yourself. Some of the actors won't come out of their trailers. One of them will but if you shoot him from the front you realise he's got no eyes, but don't show the audience that. It's not intentional, he's getting them fixed. Also can you film it twice, for different streaming platforms? Make a really good version for Netflix and a slightly worse looking one for Quibi."

Every so often a game trailer comes along that makes me think, hang on, that was bloody brilliant! I bet some people made that! Most recently it was Creative Assembly's Immortal Empires trailer. Well, I've been digging around and I'm happy to report that yes, although I'm the first one to just see a trailer as an algorithm trying to snatch my coin purse away like a manure-encrusted Victorian ne'er-do-well, game trailers are made by humans. They're often humans who do it as as specific job, either in-house at a developer or as an outside agency like Realtime Nordic. Enlightened and enthralled, I asked some of them about what went into the strange space that is making the trailers for your favourite games.

I can't remember if I've already banged on about what a terrible, unhelpful term "metroidvania" is, so let's skip past to say that Angel's Gear reminds me of the one Castlevania game I've ever played.

It's partly the tone: a compelling blend of gothic and biomechanical horror, with a 90s game boy goriness that's cartoony enough to feel colourful rather than repulsive. "Camp" isn't the right word, but a hint of melodrama gives the story severity without self-seriousness. I mean, within the first minute of the game, your soldier goes from a terrified Normandy-style amphibious assault on a fortified metal church to seeing their war made irrelevant when the moon explodes. The whole thing is kind of metal, to be honest.

To celebrate Deep Rock Galactic's fifth anniversary, developer Ghost Ship took us back in time to the mystical land of 2018 and let us play Deep Rock Galactic Legacy, a version of the co-op shooter as it was back in 2018, before all of the updates. It was a fun, nostalgic way to let fans reminisce on the game's infantile days. Ghost Ship had planned to remove Legacy today - March 23rd - but after fan feedback, they've decided to keep Legacy edition around indefinitely.

Pokemon Horizons anime new name

The Pokemon Company International revealed the name and logo for the new anime series, and it will be named Pokemon Horizons: The Series. It appeared along with a new trailer. Taito Okiura, vice-president of marketing for the Pokemon Company International, said the series will begin "premiering outside of Japan later this year." There's no exact 2023 release date yet.

Pokemon Horizons will follow dual protagonists Liko and Roy as they explore the mysteries of the world. Liko is a girl with a mysterious pendant and is accompanied by her partner Sprigatito, while Roy wishes to challenge Legendary Pokemon along with his Fuecoco. These four will be joined by a group known as the 'Rising Volt Tacklers' consisting of Friede the leader, Murdock the chef, Orla the mechanic and Mollie the healer. Also appearing are Amethio the Explorer and mascot-suited streamer Nidothing. The trailer also showed the involvement of a black Rayquaza, which viewers may recognise as the shiny variant from the games.

You can watch the trailer for the new Pokemon anime below:

While it does have a name, the new Pokemon anime series has not had a location confirmed. However the appearance of the Paldean starters and an academy-like setting may lead some to speculate that it takes place at least partly in Paldea, the setting of the recent Scarlet and Violet games.

Pokemon Horizons: The Series is promised for "2023 and beyond." The most recent games in the series are Pokemon Scarlet and Violet, which had DLC announced last month.

mirai akari

As of March 31, 2023, Mirai Akari will retire from her activities as a Vtuber. She will stream for the last time on that date. In her announcement tweet, she apologized for how sudden this retirement is and wants to discuss her feelings with her fans during her final stream.

Her announcement tweet contained four images that explain why she wants to retire from being a Vtuber. She stated that she isn't certain if this is the right choice, but she made this decision after thinking about it for a long time. Though she wants to continue being a Vtuber—everything from streaming to making videos to singing—the main reason she's retiring is due to differences in values between herself and her managers.

She stated that since Mirai Akari is a virtual Vtuber avatar, she's not actually disappearing. All of her archives will remain on her YouTube channel. She will no longer be posting anything as Akari, but she will continue to support all of her Vtuber friends and her fans. At the end of her letter, she thanked all of her fans, Vtuber friends, clients, and the staff who helped her to create her avatar. She also apologized for her lack of updates on her YouTube channel. There are several videos that she recorded prior to her decision to retire, so she will upload them before her final day.

Mirai Akari, who was a Vtuber with GOOM STUDIO, will retire on March 31, 2023. Her final farewell stream will take place on that date as well, though she did not announce the time.

The Jack Appearing in Tekken 8 is Jack-8

Bandai Namco officially revealed the Tekken 8 version of Jack, who is known here as Jack-8. However, we already had an idea he was in the game and on the way. He first showed up in the Lars Alexandersson character trailer. However, this time he gets to stand in the spotlight.

Jack has appeared in pretty much every TekkenTekken 8. The original "Jack" appeared in the first game. Since then, almost everyone featured a number at the end. The exception is Street Fighter x Tekken's Jack-X.

Here's the new trailer showing off Jack-8. In it, he faces off against returning fighter King.

Also, this is the list of all of the Tekken 8 character trailers that appeared before the Jack-8 reveal.

While there isn't a trailer for Jun Kazama yet, she will appear in the game as well.

Tekken 8 is still in development for the PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X, and PC via Steam. There's still no exact release window for the game yet. There will be a closed alpha test for Tekken 8 at Evo Japan 2023 between March 31, 2023 and April 2, 2023.

the mercenaries resident evil 4 remake

The Mercenaries DLC will appear in Resident Evil 4 Remake for free starting on April 7, 2023. This mode also existed in the original version of the game. It is a lot more action-packed than the main campaign, and it focuses on killing enemies as fast as possible to get a high score. [Thanks, 4Gamer!]

Since its original incarnation in Resident Evil 3: Nemesis, Resident Evil games have featured a The Mercenaries minigame or something similar. In Resident Evil 4, the version of The Mercenaries allowed you to play as HUNK and the Giant Chainsaw Man. It also featured the unlockable Handcannon weapon. Until Capcom reveals more information on this iteration of The Mercenaries though, it's unclear just what characters and weapons will be in it.

Resident Evil 4 Remake is a revamped version of original 2005 game. Both the characters and gameplay are re-imaginations of the original. For example, there is a higher emphasis on parrying with your knife in the remake. The story still revolves around secret agent Leon S. Kennedy and his mission to rescue the president's daughter Ashley, though. You can read our review for it here.

Resident Evil 4 Remake is available for the PS4, PS5, Xbox Series X, and Windows PC. The Mercenaries DLC for Resident Evil 4 Remake will come out for free on April 7, 2023.

Pokemon Center Pikachu Campaign Celebrates Its 25th Anniversary

The Pokemon Company will run a Pikachu Campaign at Pokemon Centers in Japan from April 22, 2023 to June 30, 2023. During that time, you will be able to see and purchase a wide variety of Pikachus at the stores. As well, a serial code that players can use to redeem a Pikachu in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet will be available. [Thanks, Game Watch!]

There are various stages to the Pikachu Campaign. The first part is a My Pikachu doll, which will cost 1,650 JPY (around $12.60). These Pikachu dolls all have slight differences to their expressions, body parts, and tails. You'll be able to choose the perfect Pikachu for yourself. The catch, however, is that they are not available in the online shops.

If you want to make your My Pikachu purchase more special, you can participate in the Pika Pika Forest or Pika Pika Tree attraction. It will cost 1,650 JPY. It recreates the idea of meeting your own Pikachu in the forest, but you will not be able to pick a My Pikachu yourself. Once you have a My Pikachu, you can create a name tag for it. You will be able to make a name tag from April 22, 2023 to May 31, 2023.

[gallery link="file" ids="957001,957000,956999"]

The second part of the Pikachu Campaign is a serial code for a Pikachu in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet. You'll be able to get them from Pokemon Centers and Pokemon Stores around Japan from April 22, 2023 to June 30, 2023. Since this Pikachu is for the 25th anniversary, it's level 25 and is carrying a TM25 (Facade). It also knows Celebrate, which Pikachu normally cannot learn. If you get this Pikachu and talk to a trainer in the western area of Mesagoza, they'll give you either a Jumbo Mark or a Mini Mark.

[gallery columns="1" ids="957003" link="file"]

Finally, there will be several Pikachu-themed sweets available at the Pokemon Cafe. Some examples include ice cream floats and waffles. Though they will not be at the cafe, there will be Pikachus appearing in Pokemon Centers around Japan from June 1-30, 2023. Specific times and dates will be announced at a later date. The Pikachus will only appear for about 15 minutes every time they show up.

Atelier Ryza 3 Patch Updates Will Address Depth of Field, Graphics Options

Koei Tecmo teased what people can expect in each early Atelier Ryza 3 patch, and depth of field fixes and graphics are priorities. The company took to the official site to detail what will come in updates. The first one will focus on the depth of field on every platform. After that, there will be more specific graphical fixes for each platform.

The first Atelier Ryza 3 depth of field update will appear in a patch for the PS4, PS5, Switch, and PC. Koei Tecmo noted that Gust's adjustments will make the effect "weaker." The goal, however, is to make it more playable when someone is in some of the game's larger environments.

After that, there will be two other kinds of updates. One Atelier Ryza 3 patch on the PS4, PS5, and Switch will add graphics options. Koei Tecmo didn't explain what that will entail or how comprehensive these will be. With the PC version, there will be even more Atelier Ryza 3 depth of field changes. Koei Tecmo noted there will be varying degrees to select, rather than either having it "on" or "off."

Atelier Ryza 3 is available on the PS4, PS5, Switch, and PC. There's no word yet on when the first depth of field patch could appear.

Resident Evil 4 PS4 and PS5 Flickering Lights Bug Fix Patch Coming

People now playing the Resident Evil 4 remake on the PS5 may have noticed a bug involving flickering lights. Capcom issued a statement noting it is aware of the problem. It also confirmed that it will release a patch that will fix that issue in Resident Evil 4, while detailing how to mitigate the issue in the meantime.

Capcom didn't share a video of how the Resident Evil 4 flickering lights bug looks on the PS5. It only noted that it will show up on the bottom half of the screen. It noted that there are three things that can help in the meantime.

The first possible solution is to save. After you have, go to the PS5 home menu and close the game out. Then, choose to restart it.

The other two ways to potentially get rid of this problem while waiting for the Resident Evil 4 remake patch is to try adjusting two options. One is to turn on the Camera's Motion Blur. The other is to turn off the Display's Depth of Field. Capcom only mentioned doing one or the other.

The Resident Evil 4 remake is available on the PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X, and PC, and the PS5 flickering lights patch is coming.

gemini elf yu-gi-oh figure

To commemorate the 25th anniversary of the Yu-Gi-Oh card game, Shibuya Scramble Figure  will release a 1/7 figure of Gemini Elf. Pre-orders are open until July 31, 2023. The Yu-Gi-Oh Gemini Elf figure will cost 31,900 JPY, which is approximately $243.50. [Thanks, Denfaminico!]

The Gemini Elf figure will stand at around 26 centimeters tall and is a faithful recreation of the card art. The two elves will stand on a base that resembles the back of a Yu-Gi-Oh card. This is so that it looks like someone has summoned the monster during a game. eStream is also holding a giveaway on Twitter. To participate, you simply need to QRT this Tweet with the hashtags #ヂェミナイ・エルフ and #渋スクフィギュア. It will give away five figures in total.

Here are some more pictures of the Gemini Elf figure:

[gallery columns="9" ids="956962,956963,956964,956965,956966,956967,956968,956969,956970" link="file"]

Gemini Elf is one of the original Yu-Gi-Oh monsters when the card game launched in 1998. It is a Normal Monster of the Earth attribute and it is a Spellcaster. It has fairly good stats for a 4-star monster, since it has 1900 ATK. However, outside of usage in decks that specialize in Normal Monsters, it has fallen out of the meta.

The Gemini Elf Yu-Gi-Oh figure will come out in late April 2024 and pre-orders are open until July 31, 2023. If you purchase it from the official Shibuya Scramble Figure store, then you will be able to get an original name plate while supplies last.

Phat Company will release 1/7 scale figures of Sabito and Makomo from Demon Slayer in April 2024. Pre-orders are open via AmiAmi and Good Smile Company. Each figure will cost 19,800 JPY, which is around $151.15. [Thanks, Hobby Watch!]

Though the Makomo figure is just a normal scale one that you can pose, you can actually swap around parts on the Sabito. Not only can you remove his mask if you wish, but you can also replace his wooden sword with a Nichirin sword. Both the Demon Slayer Sabito and Makomo figures will come with their own base stands. Sabito's look like he is standing on stone. Meanwhile, Makomo's looks like she is standing on the forest ground with some rocks behind her.

Here are some pictures of Sabito:

[gallery columns="5" ids="956980,956981,956982,956983,956984" link="file"]

Here are some pictures of Makomo:

[gallery columns="4" ids="956976,956977,956978,956979" link="file"]

In Demon Slayer, Sabito and Makomo are two former students of Urokodaki's. Though they are fairly minor characters, they play an important role in Tanjiro's early development. Sabito in particular helped Tanjiro to master his Water Breathing technique. Despite their short appearances, there are several figures of the duo, and they are playable characters in the Demon Slayer: Hinokami Chronicles game.

The Sabito and Makomo figures from Demon Slayer are available to pre-order and they will come out in April 2024.

There will also be a PlayStation version of Honkai: Star Rail, though it wasn't specified it will be for both the PS4 and PS5. It's in development, and there's no release date for it yet.

urusei yatsura season 2

Season 2 of the new Urusei Yatsura anime will start airing in 2024. The announcement tweet featured Lum winking at the viewer while she's wearing a school uniform. There are sakura blossoms floating around her as well. It is unclear if this is just an innocuous key visual or if this is meant to be a hint that viewers can expect to see Urusei Yatsura season 2 in Spring 2024. [Thanks, ryokutya2089!]

Urusei Yatsura was originally a manga series by Rumiko Takahashi (the creator of works such as Ranma ½ and Inuyasha). It ran from 1978 to 1987. The original anime series for it stated in 1981 and the reboot for it debuted in 2022. In it, Ataru is a human and Lum is part of an alien race of Oni. In order to protect Earth from the Oni's invasion, Ataru must touch Lum's horns before the week is up, which he succeeds at. However, due to some misunderstandings, Lum believes that Ataru proposed to her at the end of the competition and moved into his house.

Like some of Takahashi's other works, Urusei Yatsura is a romantic comedy with slapstick elements. The 2022 remake of the anime keeps her signature art style but with more modern colors and shading. Though some of the original actors are still in the industry, the new show has more or less replaced the entire cast as well.

Urusei Yatsura season 2 will start airing some time in 2024.

First, here is the cast of English Honkai: Star Rail voice actors who were revealed during the presentation. Those who played one of the betas might have already seen some of them in character profiles and heard them. As each one was introduced, they also introduced themselves.

  • Himeko - Cia Court

As for Bronya, she begins as an antagonist in Honkai: Star Rail. However, after an encounter with the Trailblazer in Belobog, she heads down to the Underworld area with them. While she isn't the Bronya from Honkai Impact 3rd, she is a Bronya.
