Kotaku Friday, January 5, 2024 9:45 AM  So, the first thing is, there's an Alex Jones video game. And the second thing is, yes, it's as awful as you might guess, both in terms of its racism, homophobia and misogyny, and that it's just a dreadful game. But there's a third thing, and it's more interesting: it's really weird. |

PCGamesN Friday, January 5, 2024 9:34 AM  What are the Palworld system requirements? Palworld looks to be the closest thing to a Pokémon PC game we'll ever see.

PCGamesN Friday, January 5, 2024 7:31 AM  Terraria 1.4.5 is deep in development, and proposed to be the final update for one of the best-selling games of all time. But developer Re-Logic has named many past updates as its 'final' one, only to be tempted to return with additional ideas and features. Now, series creator Andrew 'Redigit' Spinks asks players whether they'd prefer a delayed but more substantial update, a faster one followed by future patches, or for the team to finally put their defining sandbox game to bed and move onto something new.

PCGamesN Friday, January 5, 2024 7:37 AM  When it comes to gaming mice, Glorious Gaming is probably best-known as an early adopter of the honeycomb hole design, which shaves off weight by cutting hexagonal holes in the mouse's outer layer of plastic. However, for some reason, it eschewed this structure for its new mouse, the Glorious Gaming Model D2 Pro 4kHz / 8kHz. Despite lacking the brand recognition of Razer or Corsair, Glorious has produced some great gaming mice over the past few years, like its excellent predecessor, the Model D Wireless. Can the Glorious Model D2 Pro 4kHz / 8kHz live up to its forebear and earn a place on our best gaming mouse guide? I've spent a month testing out this clicker in a variety of games, from competitive FPS like The Finals and Valorant to RPGs like Genshin Impact and Elden Ring, and the new RTS, Warhammer Age of Sigmar - Realms of Ruin, and found that it performs at the very highest level.

Taking your favorite online shooters on the move might not be the optimal way to play, but it's just so convenient and hard to pass up.

Rock Paper Shotgun Latest Articles Feed Friday, January 5, 2024 5:51 AM  Hideo Kojima's new Xbox Game Studios project OD is a horror game that is "also a movie, and at the same time a new form of media" and who knows, perhaps it also runs on solar power. That's the extremely direct and literal reading of Kojima's latest social media tease, in which he compares his latest endeavour to Boktai: The Sun Is In Your Hand, an isometric vampire-hunting game for Game Boy Advance, which Kojima worked on while at Konami in the early noughties. Boktai stands apart to this day for making use of solar energy. There's a sun sensor built into the cartridge, which allows you to re-energise your weapon by using the console in sunlight, though this isn't outright necessary to prevail. I doubt OD employs a similar peripheral, though a Steam Deck verified horror game that can only be played outdoors in pleasant weather would be an... interestingly contrary experience. But it's an opportunity, at least, to jump aboard one of my personal hobby horses and give you a scrappy rundown of older and recent games that employ similar functionality. |

Atlus shared the Persona 3 Reload opening movie, which also included a chance to hear a new song from the soundtrack. The music that plays over it is the track "Full Moon Full Life."
Here's the full Persona 3 Reload opening movie with soundtrack song preview. It begins with the protagonist sitting down and preparing to listen to music on his MP3 player. After scrolling past older tracks from the game like "Burn my Dread" and "Want to be Close," he settles on the new opening them. It's then that we see the original animation that highlights him and other party members like Yukari Takeba, Junpei Iori, Mitsuru Kirijo, Akihiko Sanada, Shinjiro Aragaki, and Ken Amada. We also see references to the Midnight Hour and Velvet Room.
While the description for the English and Japanese uploads, don't list the artist, we know that Yumi Kawamura isn't returning as the singer. Azumi Takahashi is singing alongside Lotus Juice this time.
Prior to this trailer being released, we saw quite a few videos going over gameplay from the game. For example, one Atlus released at the end of December 2023 focused on high school life. We also heard the new take on "Burn my Dread" in a trailer at The Game Awards 2023.
In case you missed it, there is also a soundtrack preview video for Persona 3 Reload that lets us hear eight songs from the game.
Persona 3 Reload will come out for the PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X, and Windows PC via Steam on February 2, 2024.

Calliope Mori announced on social media that all five Vtubers in Hololive English Myth, which includes Amelia Watson, Kiara Takanashi, Ninomae Ina'nis, and Gawr Gura, will play Lethal Company together on January 5, 2024. She also teased an announcement will come up at the end of the stream.
Due to schedules and other obligations, it can often be difficult for all five members of the three and a half year old generation to get together. For example, Gawr Gura is taking part in other kinds of activities, such as the Gurarium Sendai Umino-Mori Aquarium promotional event. Her last solo stream was one going over that event in November 2023. Calliope Mori often is working on music, as are other members like Kiara Takanashi.
The Hololive English Myth Lethal Company collab stream will involve all four Vtubers playing it at 2pm PT/5pm ET/11pm CET. It is unknown how long it will last. So far, both Calliope Mori and Amelia Watson shared placeholder videos indicating people will be able to watch from their viewpoints.
Here's Calliope Mori's viewpoint of the upcoming stream.
And here's Amelia Watson's. The title for hers notes that this is her first time playing it.
As a reminder, Lethal Company is a 2023 cooperative horror game in early access. All of the players work together to scour abandoned planets to collect scrap for a company they work for to sell, knowing that the hazards on the planets could kill them. Also, if they don't meet quotas, the company itself kills them. Each planet is incredibly dangerous with different hazards, and the amount of money people need to earn gradually keeps increasing. Many Vtubers who are independent or with companies have been playing it since its October 2023 debut.
The Hololive EN Myth Lethal Company stream starts at 2pm PT/5pm ET/11pm CET on January 5, 2024.
