Will Xbox Series X and PlayStation 5 Need Mid-Gen Upgrades?
The PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X are more powerful than anything we’ve ever had before. But that doesn’t mean much. The PS4 and Xbox One were mid-level even at launch, and it’s been incredible to see how they’ve been utilized by clever developers over the last seven years. PS4 Pro and Xbox One X were desperately needed when we got to about year four or five, as people started to buy 4K TVs and developers started wanting to push…

Read MoreHarvest Moon: One World – Know What You Are Getting Into
When I think about a Harvest Moon style game - whether it be this franchise or Story of Seasons or Stardew Valley - I quickly form a quick perceived understanding of what that game will be all about. Outside of a few new items that ultimately get added with each experience, I'm going to be planting fields, tending to animals, and finding a spouse. You unlock new crops, new areas of your farm and the surrounding town, see what the Harvest Godess is up to, and so much more. If you go into Harvest Moon: One World with that thought, you might be sadly disappointed.
Read MoreStory Driven Harvest Moon a Far Cry from Original Concept
Harvest Moon: One World has been out for almost a week, and after much time with the game, it has become very apparent that this Harvest Moon is a far cry from the original cutesy farming simulation concept. While Story of Seasons: Pioneers of Olive Town has done a great job of incorporating new ideas while maintaining the standard farming practices, Harvest Moon: One World has gone a different route, and it somewhat pays off.
Read MoreGame Guides: How The Art of Cheating Has Disappeared
My office is filled with books and on the bottom shelf is a treasure trove of old game guides. I’ll never need to know how to win at Gangsters again, but it’s there, ready for an emergency. Nostalgia – it’s the only reason to keep them. They’re worth pennies, if that. But they remind me of a better time: the days when you could look up a problem in any video game without hearing the phrase “like and subscribe”. I…

Insiders everywhere know the next game is coming very, very soon. They promise. Honestly. It’s definitely going to be announced at the next big event. Trust me, it definitely is.

Read MoreCan Harvest Moon and Story of Seasons Coexist in the Same Launch Window?
Once both Harvest Moon: One World and Story of Seasons: Pioneers of Olive Town launch in March 2021, the next few months are going to be very interesting for both franchises. In my opinion, as someone who has invested dozens upon dozens of hours into these types of games, it's pretty difficult to have multiple different games on the go, and when you do, one will always take precedents. So the real question becomes - can Harvest Moon and Story of Seasons coexist in the same launch window?
