Speeding its way to a platform near you Sega has announced brand new DLC content for its open-world escapade,Sonic Frontiers— TheSights, Sounds, and Speedbundle will bring new challenges and features to The Blue Blur’s latest adventure, and will be dropping on all platforms as soon as July 08, 2025… That’s Wednesday! Sights “Sights” refers to an all-new Photo Mode. This much-requested feature will allow players to pause their game at any time, (I would assume outside of cutscenes), and take control of a freely moveable camera, snapping shots and Sonic and friends in action as they whiz their way across Starfall Islands....

If it wasn’t clear already, fellow fans, it looks like the days of Viki, Jeane, and “DIE PIG!!!” are truly over.Suikoden: The Woven Tale of a Hundred Years, the recently-announced PSP installment of the series is set in a new setting, with a new story. As for what the storyis, it seems to sound a bit likeFinal Fantasy X. Every hundred years or so a giant monster comes out to wreck the world....

Also, Kuru Kuru Kururin After almost two years of waiting,Oddworld: New ‘n’ Tastyis now available on the Wii U platform. Also on Wii U isBig Brain Academy, Kuru Kuru Kurrin, Polarium Advance, Cutie Clash, Cutie Pets Go Fishing,andOutside the Realm. The 3DS is taking a backseat this week with aPetit Novel Series: Harvest Decemberdemo. I took the liberty of looking this one up by the way, and after inputting info in for an age gate on the Nintendo site, I found that it’s a collection of 13 stories in visual novel form set in Japan....

Let the AI take the wheel No Man’s Skygot another big update out of the blue today, dubbed theSentinel Update. The new patch reworks the combat and Sentinel enemies, as well as a new Expedition and more. The crux of the Sentinels Update is the Sentinels themselves. The robotic automatic defenses of various planets are bothersome, yes. But the Sentinels Update forNo Man’s Skyis making them a bit more formidable of a foe....

Just an old dog hired to get a rabbit from the future elected as mayor An anthropomorphic purple rabbit from the future wants to become mayor and you’re his campaign manager, which means murdering all of the competition and their supporters. “I think that’s how politics works.” Well,it’s close. Maybe allegorically. Not a Hero,which Darren Nakamura previewed, comes from theOlliOllidevelopers, so expect good things. The latter is being ported toPC, PS4, and PS3in July....

With Kratos’ vicious past, you wouldn’t expect aGod of War RagnarokLo-Fi video to surface. However, PlayStation and a few musicians, including Alex Moukala, have released such a thing, and it’s relaxing AF. Chilling out with Atreus Atreus, in this video published Thursday, takes the place of the kid studying. As the chill music is playing, he’s writing in his journal. The Lo-Fi beats in the background are from popular musician and composerAlex MoukalaandPokari....

Industry analyst Michael “horse sponge” Pachter has chimed in on the controversial practice of shipping games with “downloadable” contentlocked on the disc. While he said that he didn’t think the delivery method mattered in the long run, hedidadmit DLC was simply a case of greed, and that unlocking content on a disc without paying for it just might be legal. “Yeah, it’s just plain greed,” he said onPach Attack.“The answer is that simple....

This trailer goes places Adult Swim Games has done a good job of picking up off-kilter projects, butPool Panicfrom developer Rekim feels particularly on-brand. It’s a game about sentient pool balls doing anything and everything pool-ball-people could conceivably do. It’ll be out for Nintendo Switch and PC in the near future. Maybe it’s just me (it’salmost certainlyjust me), but parts of this trailer have a slight unnerving edge to them that calls to mindThe Brave Little Toaster....

Sony’s redesigned handheld gets held up to its predecessor Sony’s new PS Vita iteration, PCH-2000, hit shelves in Japan last week, and there are already unboxing videos out the wazoo. A rather informative pair of videos was recently posted by YouTuberSkyghene22. The first video [above], is your usual unboxing fare, followed by a comparison of the Slim Vita’s construction versus the original model. One notable difference is the 2000 has done away with that annoying proprietary cord and now uses a micro USB port for data transfer and power....

Like the original, just much more young and hip When we received a code to reviewLa-Mulana 2, I was simultaneously excited and frightened. I greatly enjoyed the first game, butLa-Mulanaisn’t what I’d call intuitive. The original basically simulates what it would be like to land in anIndiana Jonessituation and have to figure your way out of ancient ruins with cryptic clues. Calling it an adventure would be putting it lightly, as completing it feels more like an exodus....

Boom, there it is Recently, there have been rumors going around that Sega would be leaving the console market and only releasing games for mobile devices. Takashi Iizuka, the Sonic Team lead, put that rumor to rest in aninterview with 4gamerstating, “Personally, I don’t plan to stop Sonic for home-video game consoles. Don’t worry about them! And enjoy!” So fear not,Sonicfans; there will still be games for you to play and enjoy in the future....

If you’re looking forward to a slew of cool PS3 games to play this holiday season, you might want to dial your excitement back just a touch. Sony has declared it’ll focus on “family-friendly” games this Christmas, hoping to reach a “neglected” demographic. What,Carnival Islandwasn’t enough? “We’d love to have multi-million sellers for the holiday. But each title needs time to develop, especially new IP likeThe Last of Us,” Worldwide Studios boss Shuhei Yoshida toldGame Informer....
