We already knowa bitabout them — it’ll be a male character from the “newer half of theFinal Fantasyseries.” Previously in a stream it was confirmed to be a “bad guy,” though that term was ambiguously used and could refer to an anti-hero.

Sometimes truth is stranger than fiction The legends are true. This weekend in Alamogordo, New Mexico, excavators uncovered the mythical cache ofE.T.Atari 2600 cartridges, which were long rumored to have been dumped in the desert during the videogame crash of 1983. The adaptation of Steven Spielberg’s 1982 film was only given a few weeks of development time ahead of the year’s holiday season. The result was not only one of the worst-received titles in videogame history, but also one of the medium’s biggest commercial failures....

Mars’ Edge Last week, we got our first look atEpoch: Return, the sci-fi exploration game designed by formerMass Effectdevelopers. To our chagrin, what was presented then was mostly concept art and design philosophy, so it seemed like the game was not far enough along in the process to start crowdfunding. Now, theKickstarter campaignis live, and the video shows a bit more than we had previously seen. One aspect that was not previously discussed (though alluded to in concept art) is the player character’s ability to run at incredible speed and leap enormous distances, in a manner almost reminiscent ofTribes: Ascend....

Six Minutes of Metaaaaalllll As much as it is typified by its wild fashions, awesome artwork and litany of fairweather players,Guilty Gear Striveis known for its relentless, teeth-gnashing soundtrack. A veritable melody of metal and mayhem combined,GG‘s guitar-squealing riffs and sub-Mike Patton wailing has become as iconic to the brand as anybody on its colorful roster of characters. Guilty Gear Striveis apparently no exception, with each and every one of the starting roster’s 15 characters being blessed with their own bespoke theme song....

The digital diva will perform a remix of“Heaven,”the theme from the dungeon that shares its name.

Guns Up! While the main star ofBlack Ops 4will undoubtedly be the“Blackout” battle royale mode, the game will also feature a more traditional multiplayer suite. Activision revealed a lot of specifics about how guns will handle and some other various tweaks they are making to the flow of combat.
