The gaming landscape continues to transform before our eyes. Join us as we examine how established franchises are adapting to changing player expectations and technological advancements that are reshaping development.
The Stellar Blade director's candid admission about narrative shortcomings signals a promising future for the franchise. Having already mastered combat mechanics, art direction, and musical composition, the team aims to deliver a more compelling story in the sequel. With commercial success on both PlayStation and PC platforms, they'll likely have the expanded budget needed to realize this vision. We discuss what this means for action RPG fans and how proper foundations in initial releases can lead to exceptional follow-up titles.
Nintendo continues to march to its own drum with controversial decisions around Mario Kart World. Their latest update makes it harder for players to skip "intermission tracks" – effectively forcing their vision of how the game should be played. Meanwhile, they've explained why non-Mario characters haven't appeared in the game, suggesting possible future expansions. We debate whether these choices serve players or simply reinforce Nintendo's notorious stubbornness.
From the Meta Quest 3S Xbox Edition announcement to potential layoffs at Microsoft studios, we cover everything you need to know about the business side of gaming. Subscribe now to stay informed about the technology, trends, and transformations shaping the games you love!
