Devil May Cry 5 Composer Hints at a Return to the Series

Former Mass Effect lead writer Mac Walters has reflected on his time at BioWare and explained why he decided to leave the studio earlier this year. 

Hyrule has experienced great changes in , and this could have an unprecedented effect on the entire franchise in the future. The series has long established traditions and motifs in its gameplay and story to ensure that all titles feel part of a continuous whole, no matter their differences. However, if recent trends continue, Hyrule could soon experience a radical change unlike any seen before.

Huawei has remained mum on the subject of building its own fabrication plants, and that is likely to avoid further trade restrictions from the U.S. However, a recent patent filing provides evidence that the former Chinese giant is going the extra mile to reduce dependency on foreign companies. The patent application date is June 2022, describing a process for improving wafer alignment and efficiency. It is titled ‘Wafer Processing Device and Wafer Processing Method’ and provides some evidence that Huawei wishes to build its chip plants, which can mean it may want to rid itself of SMIC too.

Recently we went hands-on with Ubisoft's upcoming Metroidvania, Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown. It's slashing its way onto PS5 and PS4 in January, bringing the series back to PlayStation for the first time since 2010. But after all this time, how is this latest adventure shaping up? And will it be worth that 14-year wait? Well, from our two hours with the game, we'd say fans of the series have a fun and vibrant adventure on their hands, and we personally are looking forward to jumping back into it.

Pokémon has had a lot of tough trainers to overcome throughout its long history, and while we all remember the likes of Cynthia, Miltank-wielding Whitney, and Scarlet & Violet's Larry, they can't all be fantastic. Gym Leaders vary greatly in terms of quality and power throughout each game, but we've never been able to nail down which one is categorically the worst in the series.

I am very happy that the River City/Kunio-Kun/Nekketsu/Downtown series has continued to this day. River City Ransom was a formative game for my modern tastes. River City Girls, as a game, I don’t love as much. Its art style and soundtrack, on the other hand, I dig with both hands.

The GTA 6 trailer was remade using GTA V's assets, further highlighting how big the visual quality gap will be between the two main entries in the series.

Grand Theft Auto 6 has been unveiled and it looks amazing. But as is standard, it’s led to a standard reaction in some of the more reactionary parts of the internet. So let’s put it to rest right here: the Series S will play GTA6 just fine.

The Legend Of Zelda’s next outing probably won’t be a direct follow-up to Tears of the Kingdom, according to Nintendo.

Anyone with an ounce of an interest for rhythm games will have at least heard, if not experienced, the name Thumper in years past. And while it’s been a whole seven years since developer Drool dropped the hard-hitting, on-rails, rhythms of a sole silver beetle rushing through psychadelic worlds, Thumper’s visuals as much its soundtrack, remains a memorable release. Well now, Brian Gibson — the original artist and composer behind Thumper — is back with a new project. Collaborating with Mike Mandel of Fuser fame to form development team Puddle, with what looks to be a spiritual successor releasing sometime next year, in the form of Thrasher.

Former Daredevil showrunner Steven S. DeKnight is returning to comics alongside artist Leno Carvalho, colorist Bruno Hang, and letterer Troy Peteri for a new original graphic novel titled Hard Bargain from publisher Humanoids. 

The second chapter of the Pokemon Scarlet and Violet DLC is next week on December 14, offering new story content, the return of multiple Legendary Pokemon from previous games, and a slightly terrifying mind-control device called the Synchro Machine. But for me, the highlight change is the reintroduction of a feature that first reared its head nearly a decade ago.
