Hideo Kojima is now looking to develop games that can change interactions and outcomes in real-time. Most known for his eccentric creative direction and vision, the Japanese video game developer revealed in a recent interview with lifestyle magazine An-An that he hopes to one day create games that can change in real-time according to external factors. “What I want to do are games that change in real-time,” he said. “Even as we’ve finally got people of various ages and occupations from all around the world playing the same game, everyone, and I mean everyone, is playing the same. Instead of that, [I want to make] something that changes based on where a person lives or how they think.” While a game like this could be incredibly complex to create, Kojima noted the example of a simpler ap...

Shortly giving fans a first look at the game’s main villain, Square Enix has now dropped yet another trailer for Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy over at the PlayStation Showcase 2021, this time throwing out a comedic yet action-packed look at Star-Lord and his band of misfits. Shown on top of a catchy rock ‘n’ roll soundtrack, the two-and-a-half-minute clip shows off more of the game’s main characters and their personality traits, especially spotlighting a rather comedic Star-Lord that is very much reminiscent of James Gunn‘s take on the Guardians for Marvel Studios back in 2014. Aside from the protagonists, we also get closer looks at the Universal Church of Truth and Grand Unifier Raker, but the highlight for fans are no doubt the appearance of Cosmo the golden retriever astro...

Amidst all the news coming out of the PlayStation Showcase 2021, rumors of a Sony PlayStation 5 Pro model have now surfaced. Reports note that Sony is now developing an upgraded model of the PS5 with improved performance to deliver for the 8K gaming segment.

After announcing the game during the Summer Game Fest this year, Gearbox Software has now dropped the first gameplay trailer for the upcoming Borderlands spin-off Tiny Tina’s Wonderlands. Spanning a little more than two minutes, the new clip showcases a whole host of first-person shooter gameplay in what appears to be a fantastical world full of mythical and magical creatures like enchanted skeletons. Aside from obviously containing all kinds of whacky weapons and guns, the tone and visuals of Tiny Tina’s Wonderlands naturally draws heavily from the original Borderlands franchise, but with an added element of witchery. “We want you to explore and try all the different ways to use your firepower,” says creative director Matt Cox in a post on the PlayStation Blog. “In tha...
