I go away for one week, and everybody will get all acquisition-y on me! Sega and Rovio are apparently linking up, as Sega needs to get on cellular and Rovio needs to get on consoles/PC, or so I hear. It’s not the pair-up I’d have predicted, however that makes it even higher. I stay up for seeing what occurs after these two be a part of collectively.
In different information, the PlayStation 5 is outwardly on monitor to lap the PS4 in gross sales figures. Mat Piscatella of Circana famous on Twitter that, “PlayStation 5 {hardware} unit gross sales have now surpassed these of PlayStation 4 on a time-aligned foundation (29 months in market).” Whereas that doesn’t shock me, it’s gratifying to know that players can get their palms on them en masse after provides being brief for therefore lengthy. Additionally, Resident Evil 4 Remake offered like sweet, which I discover much more gratifying.
I’ve additionally seen some small items of attention-grabbing information this week: Gary Bowser will allegedly be paying Nintendo off for the remainder of his life, regardless of now technically being a free man. Looks like an extended solution to go to make an instance out of 1 dude, however I’m not a large video games writer. Additionally, Guerrilla Video games launched Horizon Forbidden West’s large DLC Burning Shores. Alongside the DLC, it’s additionally added a thalassophobia mode, which, as somebody with stated affliction, I recognize.
In case you missed it, I used to be off final week, and spent a tiny little bit of that point catching up on video video games. It wasn’t all video video games, I promise — I additionally went to a conference and met individuals who acted in video video games — nevertheless it was good to step again and play some video games I wished to play, not simply to maintain up with the fashionable releases. On that be aware, I’ve spent a part of this week enjoying Sherlock Holmes: The Woke up Remake. Having performed the unique throughout my adventure-gaming darkish age, it’s been very attention-grabbing to revisit it with prettier graphics and a barely much less gaunt Holmes. Give me a bit time, and I’ll be catching up on Useless Island 2 as effectively.
