Assassin’s Creed is the only game Ubisoft seem to be making, with 11 new titles in the works. That’s according to a leak that’s also promising a Black Flag remake. That’s four single-player games, three multiplayer games, two VR games (an unreleased game and a sequel to the unreleased game), a mobile game and, yes, a Black Flag remake. Why? Who the hell knows? That’s a lot of Assassin’s Creed. It might be too much Assassin’s Creed. Think about it.…

Mario Vs Sonic: New 2D Chaos
Nineties warriors unite: it’s time for the battle of Sonic and Mario to rage again. For the first time in forever, new major 2D entries in both franchises will be coming to fans. And to celebrate I propose we do away with the corporate worship of modern gaming fandoms, and beat the shit out of each other in the schoolyard instead. Because look at how awesome our heroes look in the picture above. Look at the edge, the sheer cool…
Read MoreThe Metal Gear Collection is a Treasure Trove
There was a time when I was certain the newly announced Metal Gear Solid Collection would be a cash grab. I hoped I’d be wrong. Taking the original HD Collection off the shelf and just smashing it on PS5 would have been very, very easy. Even the addition of the original Metal Gear Solid felt a bit like we were getting additional value. But as part of the Nintendo Direct, Konami confirmed exactly what we would be getting. They also…
Read MoreThe Simple Joys of Final Fantasy 7: Rebirth
The second part of the Final Fantasy 7 remake – Rebirth – got a reveal yesterday, and it was the most joyous moment of gaming I’ve had in a long time. Sometimes you get into a rut, and nothing you play seems to capture your imagination. We’ve all been there. And that might be due to busy schedules, or changing tastes, or a mild dislike of many modern games. For me personally, it’s just a bit of burnout. But I…

Read MoreThe Disgusting Future of ‘Play-To-Earn’
A couple of people have spoken to me about a tragic new trend amongst blockchain fans – the odious idea of “play-to-earn”. No longer will playing a video game be frivolous – your time will be rewarded with actual currency. If you’ve got to the second paragraph without feeling your stomach churn in disgust, you may well be part of the problem. The idea that playing for the love of the craft isn’t enough, but that digital busy work or…
Read MoreThe Secrets Behind Redfall
There may not be many surprises here, but it perhaps confirms what we all suspected. A new article from Jason Schreier has spilled the beans behind Redfall’s miserable development, and its critically poor reception. This isn’t an article revisiting what is already at Bloomberg. In short: Redfall was planned as a GaaS title, but direction was extremely muddled. Morale was low. Microsoft did nothing to fix the project. The most damning part, in my eyes, is that staff at Arcane…
Read MoreUpgrades Metal Gear Remake Needs
Metal Gear Solid 3 is one of the greatest games ever made. But it’s also nearly twenty years old. Things have changed a lot since 2004. That means the recently announced Metal Gear Solid Δ Snake Eater – the actual real name of the remake – has a few easy targets they can hit to make massive improvements without doing anything controversial. Here I’m going to be talking a little bit about options the developers have for making a Metal…
Read MoreMore Thoughts From Me: The Return of Snake Eater
I was a huge fan of Metal Gear Solid on the PlayStation 2. The second game was my favorite but I did like Snake Eater a lot. So yesterday when a remake was revealed, I was excited but also a little unhappy because I don’t have a PlayStation 5. Then I looked online and it was revealed that the game is also coming to Xbox! I have one of those. I’m very excited for the Snake Eater remake. Let’s talk…
Read MoreShould We Be Worried About Metal Gear Solid 3?
Yes, a Metal Gear Solid 3 remake is in the works. And yes, it will be without Hideo Kojima. Should we be worried? I mean, it’s one of the greatest games of all time, filled with iconic moment after iconic moment. Any shift in tone would stick out like a cheese sandwich in a gourmet restaurant. And this is the internet. So there is always room for worry. However, a tidy bit of good news has potentially come out this…
