<![CDATA[More Metal Gear Solid Remakes Could Happen If Fans Ask For Them]]> The Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater remake was finally confirmed to be real during last week's PlayStation Showcase. The thing is, Konami didn't exactly tell us much else other than it exists. Surprising since rumors of its existence have been circulating for almost two years. The studio has now expanded a little on how and why the remake is happening, including confirmation that it's open to remaking more Metal Gear games in the future.

<![CDATA[Tears Of The Kingdom's Damage Numbers Aren't Completely Accurate]]> While it might feel like the millions playing Tears of the Kingdom have already discovered everything there is to know about the game, new information keeps on coming and, if BOTW is anything to go by, will for months.

<![CDATA[Mass Effect Fans Debate Whether Commander Shepard Should Return For Next Game]]> Mass Effect fans haven't had much to cheer about recently. The last game we got was Mass Effect Andromeda way back in 2017, a title many in the community consider a low point in the series. Ever since, news of a potential Mass Effect 5 release date has been thin on the ground, with a single poster and the confirmation of Liara T'Soni's inclusion being the only things we have to go on at the moment.

Upon launch, someone managed to beat the game in one hour and 34 minutes, but that record has been beaten time and time again over the past coupld of weeks. Today, we finally got the first sub-hour Tears of the Kingdom speedrun.

<![CDATA[Anthem 2 Would Have Been "Great", Devs Were "Gutted" It Was Cancelled]]> Before Lord of the Rings: Gollum, before Redfall, before Babylon's Fall, CrossfireX, and Gotham Knights, there was Anthem. When it was released back in 2019, Anthem was the biggest disaster gaming had ever seen, so full of bugs and glitches as to be virtually unplayable. Even when fans struggled through Anthem’s technical issues, they’d only arrive at an end-game that didn’t actually exist. As a result, players left Anthem for greener pastures, and EA eventually shuttered Anthem's servers.

The most recent announcements have been Hwoarang, Lili, and Xiaoyu, bringing the total to 17. That's starting to sound like a full roster (Tekken 7 launched with 20 before eventually arriving at 52 with DLC) so we're expecting the character announcements to slow.

<![CDATA[Spider-Man 2 Fans 'Fix' New Face Just By Adding Long Hair]]> Insomniac made the controversial decision to switch the actor used for Peter Parker's likeness in its Spider-Man games a few years ago. Not just for the sequel, but for the PS5 remaster of the original game. That issue has naturally reared its head again as Spider-Man 2's launch grows near, and some Spidey fans are claiming it's not Peter's new face that's the problem, it's his hair.

<![CDATA[PS5 Players Want More Games To Get Current-Gen Upgrades]]> The notion of backwards compatibility has been around for some time, ever since the PlayStation 2 could play most of the games of its predecessor. For those who recall, the PS2 could also make these games look slightly better if you went into its menus and chose a "smooth" option that applied a texture filtering effect to PS1 titles that made visuals look slightly crisper. Of course we're generations ahead and players expect much more with the PlayStation 5.

<![CDATA[Tears Of The Kingdom's Ascend Ability Deletes The World And Puts You In A Box]]> For those who didn't already know, game designers are cheaters. They cheat constantly when creating games, although you'd never know it just by playing them. To see how designers use visual tricks, we have to turn to modders and content creators who specialize in peeling back the curtain to show how a game is made.

<![CDATA[The Witcher 3 Has Sold Over 50 Million Copies]]> Every game developer hopes that it will make something that becomes hugely popular and best selling, but it's not always easy to predict how well a game will do in the market. One good way to sell loads of copies is to make a widely recognised masterpiece, although even then it's not always assured that such a game will sell in the many tens of millions that others have. But CD Projekt Red's The Witcher 3 landed just right and today the Polish developer announced that the third entry in the series has reached a big milestone.

<![CDATA[Fans Are Worried About Mortal Kombat 1's Switch Port]]> It didn't come as much of a surprise when it was revealed that Mortal Kombat 1 is skipping last gen. The PlayStation 4 and Xbox One are going to turn ten this year, and going by the Mortal Kombat 1 reveal trailer, the next game is looking to make the most of more recent hardware, rather than accommodate the old. However, this only made it more surprising when it was revealed that one less powerful console was getting MK1 at launch: the Nintendo Switch.

<![CDATA[Zelda Fans Are Debating Whether Ocarina Of Time Has Aged Well]]> The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom has been in the hands of fans for a couple of weeks now, and there's almost no doubt it's going to go down as one of the greatest games of all time, just like previous games in the series like Breath of the Wild and Ocarina of Time. However, there seems to be a lot more scrutiny of the latter recently, mostly down to the fact that it's getting on in years. The entire gaming landscape was far different 25 years ago, and now Zelda fans are debating whether Ocarina of Time would actually hold up if you somehow hadn't played it until 2023.

<![CDATA[Tears Of The Kingdom Players Are Helping The Sign Guy With Floating Blocks]]> It's not easy living in Hyrule. You never know when a red haired dude decides to invade, a witch decides to take revenge, or the whole continent gets swallowed by the sea. Its people have faced a lot of hardship, but yet, they endure. We see this once again in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom via the shining example set by real estate tycoon President Hudson and his loyal marketing executive, Addison.

<![CDATA[Fans Want Spider-Man 2 To Recreate An Iconic Moment From The '90s Cartoon]]> There have been many iconic interpretations of Spider-Man over the years, across various mediums. We've had three versions of Peter Parker in the movies, a whole bunch of video games, and countless comic book and animated versions. Insomniac's version of Pete is only the latest in a long line of Webcrawlers, and in Spider-Man 2, he will be wearing the fan-favourite Symbiote suit.

<![CDATA[Tears Of The Kingdom Players Are Just Realising You Can Help The Sign Guy]]> The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom is a game that constantly rewards you for being a good person on your adventure. Helping out fellow travellers, escorting Koroks to their friends, and charging into battle with the monster control squad are all deeds that net you some nice rewards, so when you see poor loyal Addison struggling to set up various Hudson Construction signs across Hyrule, your natural instinct is to give him a hand, right?

<![CDATA[The Last of Us Multiplayer Game Indefinitely Delayed After Setbacks]]> After what many thought was a fairly disappointing PlayStation Showcase, questions soon began flying regarding previously announced first-party titles that didn't show up. One of these titles was Naughty Dog's confirmed The Last of Us multiplayer game, a title that's been in development for quite a while. Well, there now seems to be a pretty good reason for the lack of updates, as it's been reported that the development team has been significantly scaled back and the game itself has been indefinitely delayed.

<![CDATA[Thank God Spider-Man 2 Made Peter Parker Edgy]]> I’m not ashamed to say I like Spider-Man 3. The final entry in Sam Raimi’s trilogy is a corny mess that turns Peter Parker into a two-dimensional edgelord with far too many villains and subplots, but I can’t get enough of it. A huge part of that is because of the cringe that comes with Peter’s dark angst. Bonding with the symbiote doesn’t make him ‘evil’ or push him toward anti-hero status, it makes him a fedora-tipping asshole who acts like he can take on the world. And he can, because he’s Spider-Man juiced up on alien goo.

Despite that, every way players have found to multiply items by nefarious means appears to have been dealt with.

That gave plenty of time for Nintendo to refine its gameplay, give the game a great polish, and to stuff it silly with things to do.
