Fntastic's now-deleted statement rebuffed allegations about The Day Before's development

Skyfaring action RPG Granblue Fantasy Relink launched earlier this month after years of delays and reboots across multiple studios, and against all odds it has managed to stick the landing: developer Cygames recently announced that Relink sold 1 million copies in its first 11 days.

Coyote vs. Acme, a Looney Tunes courtroom comedy starring John Cena and produced by James Gunn, is reportedly set to be completely deleted by Warner Bros., despite interest from other studios. 

The next addition to the Final Fantasy VII compilation, Rebirth, is dropping on PlayStation 5 on February 29, 2024. So, Square Enix is gearing up for a collaboration between Final Fantasy VII and well, Final Fantasy VII. Keep reading to know more about the Final Fantasy VII Ever Crisis x Rebirth crossover!

In less than four weeks, players will be able to play through the second entry in the Final Fantasy VII Remake trilogy on PlayStation. Rebirth does away with the PlayStation 4 release, something that players would have expected after Remake Intergrade and the introduction of Yuffie Kisaragi was exclusive to the latest Sony console generation. At the moment, Final Fantasy VII Rebirth remains a PS5 console exclusive but certainly has the possibility of coming to PC by way of Epic Games Store and/or Steam in a matter of months.

Once every year, a select group of nuclear, climate and technology experts assemble to determine where to place the hands of the Doomsday Clock. Presented by the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists, the Doomsday Clock is a visual metaphor for humanity's proximity to catastrophe. It measures our collective peril in minutes and seconds to midnight, and we don't want to strike 12. In 2023, the expert group brought the clock the closest it has ever been to midnight: 90 seconds. On January 23 2024, the Doomsday Clock was unveiled again, revealing that the hands remain in the same precarious position.

Update:

After 300 hours of work and $1,500 spent on assets, a solo indie developer has released a parody trailer of The Day Before that has come to be a cautionary tale of being wary of overpromising marketing. 

While a “certain someone” wanted nothing more than to praise 2023 for its “gaming excellence,” people who actually lived and worked during that period know that it was hardly flawless. One of the biggest issues is that the games released that year had a huge pendulum swing when it came to quality. Plenty of titles were “Game of the Year worthy,” and then there were titles that made people wonder why they came out. One such title that helped end the year was The Day Before, a game so bad that its studio shut it down in just two months.

Fntastic has claimed that The Day Before was the victim of a “hate campaign” carried out by “certain bloggers” who profited from being deceptive.

You might have thought the The Day Before's sorry saga had ended last year when developer Fntastic, amid claims of misleading marketing and Overwhelmingly Negative Steam reviews, yanked the game from sale and promptly shut its doors just four days into its early access launch. But no, the studio has now reemerged with a lengthy statement blaming the whole thing on a «hate campaign» orchestrated by «certain bloggers».

Fntastic, the folks behind the debilitating 'open world zombie MMO' The Day Before, have released a statement to combat "misinformation" about its development and catastrophic release. They claim certain "bloggers" made huge money by creating "false content" about the game, and that its closure is thanks largely to a hate campaign that inflicted "significant damage". Bizarrely, they also believe they "implemented everything shown in the trailers". Riiight.

Fntastic, the developer of The Day Before, has released a new statement aiming to address what it referred to as “misinformation” that has surfaced online from “supposedly anonymous sources.” It claims that a “hate campaign” towards The Day Before “inflicted significant damage” on gamers’ perceptions of the game.
