17 years ago, Akira Toriyama provided art for the cult classic Xbox 360 JRPG Blue Dragon, and after the Dragon Ball creator's death, Microsoft is paying tribute with a piece of dynamic background art for modern Xbox consoles.

The character creator for Dragon's Dogma 2 has only been out for a few days, but it's quickly turned into the ultimate RPG crossover - and it's simultaneously producing some of the most wholesome and most horrifying things I have ever seen come out of a video game.
If you want to be in on the ground floor of excellent Dragon's Dogma 2 characters, you'll want to check out Fashion Dogma on Reddit, where players are sharing photos of their creations, often accompanied by the slider settings used to make those characters so you can recreate them in your own game. There are Geralts. There are Shadowhearts. There are even at least two Melinas.
There's far too much to share everything here, but the tweet below will give you a decent idea of just how robust this character creator really is. Even the joke characters are pretty impressive likenesses, from Danny DeVito to an emo Tobey Maguire straight out of Spider-Man 3. There's also this Pikachu, which… well, don't click that link if you want to sleep tonight.

My favorite creation, however, is definitely this gaming couple who built incredible likenesses of each other. "This process encouraged us to stop and really look at one another like we’ve never done before," CrankyGamer68 writes. "We found ourselves pretty much blocking everything out today and focusing on the most minuscule details of ourselves and how we see each other." I never would've expected something so wholesome in all of this.
Even before the advent of this subreddit, people were already eager to share some truly bizarre creations ranging from Todd Howard to Gigachad. It looks like the sequel is offering a worthy follow-up to the original game's incredible creation tools.
The best time to play Dragon's Dogma was 12 years ago, and the second-best time is now while the RPG is on sale for $5 ahead of Dragon's Dogma 2's launch.

Swen Vincke, head of Baldur's Gate 3 developer Larian Studios, is dreaming about a "very big RPG that will dwarf them all," but he wants to make sure there are a few things you know about it.
MLB: The Show 24 just got its update for the opening day of baseball season, and the patch briefly broke the game so bad that entire teams got shuffled into big head mode.
A rare, original copy of the first game developed by the legendary husband and wife team of Ken and Roberta Williams has just hit eBay, and despite being little more than a floppy disk and a slip of paper inside a plastic bag, it's already set to fetch thousands of dollars after just one day on the auction site.
The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom lets you build a whole lot of ridiculous contraptions out of mundane parts, and there's nothing more mundane than the portable pot. This item turned out to be one of the game's wildest building options, and during a talk at the Game Developers Conference (broken down by Eurogamer), lead physics engineer Takahiro Takayama explained that this only happened because the devs wanted to keep you from spilling your soup.
While it’s true that the “nature of video gamers” is based partially on their need to wait for the next big video game title to release, that doesn’t mean they like waiting for it to come out. After all, wouldn’t you rather play a game now than have to wait for its actual release date? That’s what we thought. In the case of The Elder Scrolls 6, Bethesda announced the game at E3 2018. That’s right, they announced the game almost six years ago now, and we still have no inkling of what it will be like, when it’ll be released, or how it’ll appear on next-gen systems.
If you, like me, have spent your first hours in Dragon's Dogma 2 lugging around a fat stack of camping kits thinking they were single-use items, here's an important PSA: you can reuse those things.
Bethesda has provided a small update on The Elder Scrolls 6.
Super Mario Maker players have finally done it - they've beaten every single legitimate level uploaded to the original game before the servers shut down. The catch is that they already achieved victory last week, and they're only now able to celebrate the accomplishment after the creator of the last level standing came forward to reveal that it was a fake.
Dragon's Dogma 2 is bringing even super-mighty PCs to their knees, and Capcom seemingly disabled the option for some performance-boosting DLSS frame generation just before launch. Now a modder has brought that option back, and in doing so, revealed why Capcom disabled it in the first place.
We now know that Baldur's Gate 3 developer Larian Studios is closing the book on Dungeons & Dragons, with no plans to return for an expansion or sequel. Studio head Swen Vincke knows what's coming next, and it's a step toward a plan he's been concocting for years to make what sounds like the ultimate RPG.
Hasbro, the now longtime owner of Dungeons & Dragons maker Wizards of the Coast, is cooking up some big plans in the video game space, and the stunning success of Baldur's Gate 3 has proved to the company that the world wants more digital D&D adaptations.
