Vague Microsoft doesn’t know why we misunderstand its vague statements Microsoft, by way of mouthpiece Major Nelson, has criticized reports on itsXbox One used game policyas “inaccurate and incomplete,” seeming to miss the fact they’re based entirely on Microsoft’s own statements — which havethemselvesbeen inaccurate and far,farfrom complete. “The ability to trade in and resell games is important to gamers and to Xbox,”said Nelson, vaguely. “Xbox One is designed to support the trade in and resale of games....

Omega Force isn’t always known for innovation, but occasionally, it’ll surprise just about anyone. As the developer of countlessWarriorssubfranchises, this group knows a thing or two about beat-’em-ups, and theOne Piece: Pirate Warriorsseries is great. One of the best things about it is the sheer ridiculousness of controlling Luffy and his crew, which lends itself perfectly to beating up hundreds of dudes at once. Pirate Warriors 3is no exception.

Pinball Wizard In what ishopefullythe final update in this saga,Pinball FX3’sSwitch port will be releasing on December 12. The big reason for that last minute delay; it looks like there was an issue with holding the console vertically and only having one joy-con attached (which is an odd limitation the Switch forces in handheld mode). When the game finally lands, you’ll be able to remove one joy-con and experience pinball like an actual table....

Waiting for a star to fall Platinum Games has updated its curious“Platinum4”website with a new date, revealing that the second of its four mystery announcements will be made tomorrow, February 26. Within the same 24-hour period, Japanese magazine Famitsu launches its newest issue, and it’s expected that these two events will align to deliver thepreviously-teased“major” news. While there is currently no info – not even a hint – of what Platinum has in store, we know that the first release of the Platinum4,a remaster of Wii U classicThe Wonderful 101, went down an absolute treat with fans....

Okay, so since the release of the firstGuitar Heroback in 2005, I’ve been saying, “Can we get some Cannibal Corpse up in this piece? Specifically, ‘Hammer Smashed Face’?” I said it mostly joking, because — and let’s be serious — that’s never going to happen, right? Well, it’s happening. Next week, you can download and play Cannibal Corpse’s classic tune inRock Band, and frighten your neighbors by growling the lyrics “Eyes bulging from their sockets/With every swing of my mallet/I smash your f**king head in, until brains seep in....

[Update:Nintendo has thrown fuel on the fire,updating its Facebook pagewithXenobladeimages! The plot thickens] According to aNeoGAF Sherlock,Xenoblade Chronicleswill finally come to North America despite Nintendo of America’s previousrefusals to publish it. If the rumor is true, it is slated for April 2012 and will arrive as a GameStop exclusive product. The exclusivity is what makes this particularly plausible. It would indicate that Nintendo of America, while conceding to demands for a North American release, is wisely keeping supply limited as Ionce suggested it should do— potentially producing just enough to satisfy the cult audience without mass-producing copies that the masses would ignore....

But will there be chili dogs? Ladies and gentlemen, we now know when the end times will be. Oh sure, it was rumored that there was going to be aSonic the Hedgehogmoviefor years, but I never actually believed it. Hell, I still don’t really believe it, and I’m writing this article for you all! Sonic is going to make his big screen debut on November 15th, 2019. Other than Tim Miller, the director of the meta as hell/funny as hellDeadpool, is the executive producer, I know next to nothing about the people attached to this film....

If roguelites, transforming robots, and tearing corrupt corporations down from within are all on your to-do list,Metal Mindmight just be up your alley. Publisher 2P Games announced that the latest from developer WHIRLLAXY LIMITED is set to launch on Nintendo Switch and PC (via Epic Games Store) on August 06, 2025. Any of the ideas here might not be novel on their own, but the trailer certainly has my interest piqued....

[Update: Looks like wehave our answerand it’sFar Cry Primal.] What’s Ubisoft working on next? Our only indication is this quick loop of a hieroglyph depicting a man holding a spear and bow. It’s likely one of those fancynew-age game reveals. At time of writing, more than 1,500 befuddled folks are concurrently tuned in to watch a stream of an image. The stream’s description only says “Survival is timeless.”Assassin’s Creedis always going on about ancestors, right?...

‘Fight to preserve our independence’ As it turns out, not everyone’s always happy to receive $161 million. That’s the case with Ubisoft CEO Yves Guillemot (and other staff) afterVivendi bought 6.6 percent stakein the French publisher. In an internal email obtained byGamesIndustry International, Guillemot called the investment “unsolicited and unwelcome.” He also pointed out how Vivendi has a history of “aggressively pursuing companies within the entertainment sector.” There are concerns among Ubisoft employees that this investment was just a first-buy for Vivendi toward eventually gaining a majority control....

Well played, great game Xenoblade Chronicles 2was the gift that kept on giving for a while. This is already a jam-packed roughly 60 hour minimum JRPG, but developer Monolith Soft worked for months on end to address player concerns withpatches, free content, and in the case ofTorna, a full-on expansion. Those tireless efforts have paid off, asXenoblade Chronicles 2is now confirmed to have sold over 1.73 million copies worldwide, according toa 4Gamer interviewwith the game’s director, Tetsuya Takahashi....
