Surprise indeed, did not see this one coming. Its been a long time since I was really into Peanuts but I still have plenty of fondness for the characters.
I find it funny that Legacy of Atlantis looks more like a re-imagining of the Anniversary version rather than the original TR game. Basically a re-imagining of a re-imagining lol.
While I honestly don't dislike (for the most part) how the latest Yakuza/LaD titles have been in terms of presentation, I be lying if I said that I don't miss this kind of grim atmosphere that the early titles had. Consider this game in my wishlist.
^Good for the ones who cares, but its been two years (three soon) since any new info on the remaining titles within Sega's Power Surge project. We deserve some major news as well.
New Total War game? Yawn…🥱 Personally I'm more annoyed we didn't get any news at all on the remaining Power Surge games (we have the new Shinobi title released but no news on the others)…sigh.😒
Yeah China's entry into the video game space (which technically already occurred in atleast the 90s but has in a recent timeframe gained international recognition) has really shined over the Japanese gaming business in several ways in the past six years or so.
If Japan ever intends to take the threat from their follow eastern competitors seriously then they do a good job of NOT showing it at all imo.
Insane/awful news. I know Netflix has been huge for years now, and have also been going around the gaming scene for awhile now, but they were still one of the companies I least expected to buy WB Discovery.
The console itself is amazing enough for me, but the library of games (especially first party) has been somewhat underwhelming apart from some exceptions.
And I'm in no rush for the PS6, it gets here when it gets here.
The Far Cry franchise has never intrested me that much but I do wanna watch this TV show adaptation since both Hawley and McElhenney will be handling it.
Bah, you got me excited for a second there…
This doesn't look too bad tbh, I will give it a try but I can't imagine myself sticking to it all that much.
Like most people I didn't expect it to be a hit. The idea didn't sound appealing to me at all back then, and tbh I still don't find it that impressive even now.
I might get this for one of my little sisters though, they usually play a lot when they are home.
I swear I seen a similiar exhibition for another famous Japanese IP (it may have been a VN or anime series, not sure) years ago but I can't for the life of me remember its name.
Anyway, thats Japanese fan service for you!😂 This would fit as a substory in an actual Yakuza/LaD game.
I could never forget Gon. It was his inclusion in TK3 that made me read his manga, which made me appreciate comics that are almost or entirely focused on realistic animals.
As much as I like Goro I feel like someone like Dural would have been a better fit. With the upcoming new VF game in mind this kinda feel like a missed opportunity.
Gone at the age of 58, too soon...
I'm grateful to Itagaki for his push for the Ninja Gaiden 3D reboot, that action brought forth some of my favorite hack-and-slash games ever. May he rest in peace.

Re: Disappointment as PS2 All-Timer SoulCalibur 3 Launches on PS5, PS4 without Trophies
A bit bold to assume that everyone is going after trophies. I'm certainly not, just very glad I can play SC3 again.
Re: Marvel Rivals Season 6 Confirms Two New Heroes in Awesome Animated Trailer
Took 'em long enough. We have been expecting you merc with a mouth.
Re: 'How Do We Help Her Evolve?': Crystal Dynamics on Reimagining Tomb Raider's Lara Croft for a New Era
Design-wise I do like how Lara looks here in the upcoming titles (more so in the remake then in Catalyst).
Re: This Is the New Voice of Lara Croft in the PS5 Era of Tomb Raider Games
In terms of voice acting alone, the fact that they hired a genuine British to play Lara is a win.
Re: Stellar Blade PS5 Success Grants CEO a Presidential Commendation
Well deserved, Stellar Blade is one of the best games to come out in this current generation.
Re: Lara Croft Returns in Two New Tomb Raider Titles on PS5

Re: Oh My Car! Street Fighter's Live Action Movie Looks Insufferable in All the Right Ways
It looks indeed as very "not-taking-itself-seriously" dumb as I expected, which tbh is probably for the best.

Re: 'The Development Speed Is Amazing': Shuhei Yoshida Says Japanese Studios Can't Keep Pace with China

Re: New Tomb Raider Reveal Confirmed for The Game Awards
^This.
This is also why I pray for the Tomb Raider IP being sold to someone who really gets the character despite knowing my prayers are futile.
Re: Yakuza / Like a Dragon Celebrates 20th Anniversary, Kiryu Fans Won't Want to Miss It
Happy 20th anniversary Yakuza/LaD! Here's to twenty more!🎉
Re: Tekken Director Katsuhiro Harada Announces Departure After 30 Years at Bandai Namco
Another end of an era. Regardless of how one feels about Harada, the man did work hard all these years. I wish him well at whatever he will do next.
Re: Riot's Free-to-Play Fighter 2XKO Out on PS5 in a Few Weeks
Thats nice.
Still waiting on Miss Fortune and Samira though.

Insane/awful news. I know Netflix has been huge for years now, and have also been going around the gaming scene for awhile now, but they were still one of the companies I least expected to buy WB Discovery.

Shadow most likely.
Re: Poll: Five Years of PS5 - How Would You Rate Sony's Console?
The console itself is amazing enough for me, but the library of games (especially first party) has been somewhat underwhelming apart from some exceptions.

Re: Persona, Metaphor Director Says JRPGs Are on the Brink of a New Era
Funny Hashino says that when, as much as they’re excellent, most (if not all) of Atlus’ RPGs are very formulaic in tone and presentation.
Re: Genshin Impact, Honkai: Star Rail Maker Reveals Next-Gen Open World Powered by Unreal Engine 5
@get2sammyb : Sure is!😂
Re: Genshin Impact, Honkai: Star Rail Maker Reveals Next-Gen Open World Powered by Unreal Engine 5
Somebody or some people at miHoYo sure played and loved Remedy's Control, lol.
Re: New Ratchet & Clank Game Announced, But Not for the Platform You Want
Bah, you got me excited for a second there…
This doesn't look too bad tbh, I will give it a try but I can't imagine myself sticking to it all that much.
Re: Poll: How Would You Rate State of Play for November 2025?
At best I give it a strong six out of ten. It was okay but nothing in there that really blowed me away as I hoped it would.
Re: State of Play Announced for 11th November, Focus on Japanese PS5 Games
Okay now this sounds like one SoP I should not miss in action. Count me in.
Re: Rumour: Crash Team Racing Could Be Making a Comeback, If This Strange Leak Is to Be Believed
Taking this with a huge grain of salt, but if real then yes I take it.
@Americansamurai1 : I would be all for it tbh.
Re: Poll: Is PS Portal the Biggest Surprise Hit of the PS5 Generation?
Like most people I didn't expect it to be a hit. The idea didn't sound appealing to me at all back then, and tbh I still don't find it that impressive even now.
I might get this for one of my little sisters though, they usually play a lot when they are home.
Re: Konami's Octopus Platformer Darwin's Paradox Swims into View with New Gameplay Trailer
This caught my eye the first time it was announced earlier this year. Gives me vibes of Oddworld, Octodad, and Little Nightmares.
Re: If You've Never Played Fortnite, This Is the Season to Try on PS5, PS4
Pretty sad that this is the closest we ever get to a The Simpsons: Hit & Run follow-up...

Well deserved I must say.
Re: 'It Happens on PS5': New PlayStation Adverts Mark Five Years of PS5
I get that they are aimed for the 'average' audience but the ads are pretty 'shrugging-my-shoulders' level imo.
Re: Chun-Li Kicks Up a Fuss in Fatal Fury PS5, PS4's Best DLC Yet
Her model looks great, and I love the "boob bump" reference to that SVC Chaos art by Akiman.😊👍
Re: For $1000, Maybe Get Married to Your Favourite Yakuza Character
I swear I seen a similiar exhibition for another famous Japanese IP (it may have been a VN or anime series, not sure) years ago but I can't for the life of me remember its name.
Anyway, thats Japanese fan service for you!😂 This would fit as a substory in an actual Yakuza/LaD game.

Re: Yes, Licensed Manga Hero Gon Is Still Included in Tekken 3 on PS5, PS4
I could never forget Gon. It was his inclusion in TK3 that made me read his manga, which made me appreciate comics that are almost or entirely focused on realistic animals.
Re: This Gorgeous Rayman Art Book Will Ease the Wait for the Platforming Hero's Return
Upcoming artbook is cool and I most likely get it but yeah, I feel the same as Oram77 and Dragoon1994.

M. Bison both crossing his arms and holding that McDonald bag is hilarious.
