I mean, I’d take ’em Aseemingly innocuous tweethas turned into a frenzy of speculation. So it’s a day, on the internet. What happened? Well Platinum put up this image on Twitter, which showcases the designs of Bayonetta in both the original and the sequel — and then folks started to speculate that the red and blue hues used where to symbolize the neon blue and red JoyCon from the Switch. Given that Platinum has been port hungry lately and we know the Switch is up to the task hardware-wise, it’s entirely possible....

Let’s get this out of the way first:Sanctumhas no relation to the quite terrible 3D movie that hit theaters earlier this year. In fact, it is a quite good first person shooter variant of the tower defense genre, built in Unreal Engine 3 by Swedish indie developer Coffee Stain Studios. I spent some time withSanctum— alone and cooperatively with Jonathan Ross — in the beta that is currently available on Steam if you pre-order the game....

If you’re waiting until later this year Remember theHalo Infinitetest period this past week? About that! Dataminers got their hands on it, and apparently there were campaign spoilers galore hiding within its framework. As a result, “roughly 800 lines of text” have allegedly been leaked, including a “twist” for theHalo Infinitestoryline. Yep,Halospoilers are out and about. According to Neowin, the spoilers are via a plain text dump, which is now being circulated around the internet, similar to whenLast of Us Part 2was widely spoiled....

Better Red than Dead There aren’t a tremendous amount of open-world experiences on Switch. WhileBreath of the Wildcame right out of the gate with a massive map for players to explore, it seems developers have been a little hesitant with porting over gigantic worlds to Nintendo’s hybrid console. A lot of that probably has to do with how relatively meager the power of the device is, but there’s also the issue of performance to consider....

Less is Vore Given that I’m not even a couple days worth of play into a hunting game others dump hundreds of hours into mastering, I feel it’s a little bit early for me to be saying ifGod Eater 3is worth picking up. That said, from these limited impressions, Icansay that the game is so far shaping up like an exemplaryGod Eatergame, which is a slightly backhanded way of saying that it’s quite a bit like the previous entries in the series, particularlyGod Eater 2: Rage Burst....

Musician Martyn Ware has taken to Twitter recently to air his frustration with Rockstar Games. The source of the Heaven 17 member’s dismay is an offer he allegedly received from the acclaimed studio to put his song inGrand Theft Auto 6, which he refused. Ware claims Rockstar contacted his publisher about the band’s song “Temptation” possibly being used in the studio’s upcoming titleGrand Theft Auto 6. The offer was $7,500 for each of the three writers of the song, which would serve as a buyout of the band’s claim to royalties....

The drink of intellectuals The originalSteins;Gateis one of the single greatest science-fiction stories ever told, and its newest version has finally been confirmed for a western release this year. If you have any love for visual novels, and somehow managed to never play this, you need to tighten up and get on that. Seriously, it’s fucking magical. It simultaneously serves as a love letter and parody of otaku culture, and it genuinely made me feel stuff dangerously close to actual emotion....
