As part of this morning's Xbox Digital Broadcast at Tokyo Game Show, we got our first look at Hotel Barcelona.
This upcoming release is a time-looping action game from Hidetaka «Swery» Suehiro and Goichi «Suda51» Suda, two legends of game development. It promises to serve us all up some «2.5D slasher film parodic action».
So, what's it actually all about? Well, Hotel Barcelona is where America's serial killers have all decided to reconvene. And, according to the official trailer blurb, players will need to defeat this murderous bunch and «check out before all the blood is spilled».
These are not your average mortals, however, with an evil entity from outer space, a demonic chef (who specialises in saw-sages) and an AI shark all getting their moment in the spotlight. It is all suitably bizarre.
To coincide with Hotel Barcelona's announcement, both Swery and Suda shared more about their upcoming slasher at Tokyo Game Show. Swery cited Stanley Kubrick's 'The Shining' as one of the game's inspirations, which having watched the trailer above, I can see.
Meanwhile, Suda said that while the duo worked on the initial conception together, Swery was the one leading the charge on development.
«Hotel Barcelona materialised. Most of the time, when someone does lip service like that, the project never materialises,» Suda shared (via Xbox). «Swery made this project a reality in order to deliver something to the fans.»
Hotel Barcelona is set to release on Xbox Series X/S sometime next year.

When we first heard that Japan would make a live-action Pokemon series, we felt, “It was about time!” But then we listened more to what they had to say about what they were making, and admittedly, our eyebrows went way up. Because this wasn’t a series about a live-action trainer going around the world and catching Pokemon, this was a series set in our world about a young woman who needed the video game series to get through a tough period in her life. It sounded both very weird and “very Japanese.” And now, PokéTsume has gotten its first trailer.

Regular readers will know, perhaps rather unusually, I love trains. I’ve been covering Train Sim World in intimate detail for years now, much to developer Dovetail’s pleasure. (I will get around to reviewing Train Sim World 4 by the way, it’s just the schedule’s been brutal for me this past month. Also, maybe the studio would like to slow down just a touch with the sequels and expansions so I can catch up?)

No one really talks about Bandai Namco, but the publisher’s doing a bang-up job. Last year it released Elden Ring, which not only proved a critical darling but also a break-out commercial hit. The action RPG ended up becoming a cultural touchstone for 2022, and it helped underline a really impressive run for the Pac-Man maker.

is a gory onslaught of classic horror-inspired enemies. The newly-announced side-scrolling Soulslite is the newest game from both Hidetaka «SWERY» Suehiro and Goichi «Suda51» Suda, two developers who specialize in delightfully devilish, off-kilter games that wear their inspirations on their sleeves. SWERY's and its sequel comprise a duology of pastiche, featuring small-town murder mysteries, eccentric detectives, and old ladies with fortunetelling pots. Suda's series stars the gamer-turned-assassin Travis Touchdown, who's been known to debate the merits of with his targets before finishing them off.
