How the Monster Hunter Wilds Team Select Their Beastly Lineup – IGN First

If you ask people who the main characters are in Monster Hunter, they might say “the hunters” – but others will tell you: “It’s all about the monsters.” So many striking creatures have appeared over the course of Monster Hunter’s 20-plus-year history. With each new hunter and each new hunt, we form new memories around these monsters. That's why players have pored over information about the new monsters appearing in the latest title, Monster Hunter Wilds, and why they let out shouts of joy when they heard that certain monsters would be making a long-awaited return. In this interview with Kaname Fujioka, who was the director of the first Monster Hunter and now Executive Director and Art Director for Wilds, and Yuya Tokuda, director of both Monster Hunter: World and Wilds, we get to hear in detail about the process that new and returning monsters went through before appearing in Wilds, with a special focus on the processes of creation and selection. Throughout the interview, I fe...

Why Hasn’t Sony Done Anything More With Bloodborne? PlayStation Legend Shuhei Yoshida Has a Personal Theory

It is one of the biggest conundrums in the video game industry: why hasn’t Sony followed up Bloodborne with… anything? A remaster (Sony loves a remaster)? A sequel? A next-gen update? Fans of FromSoftware’s PlayStation 4 masterpiece have begged for more ever since the game launched to critical and commercial acclaim a decade ago. So, what gives? Fresh from the reveal of his first voice acting gig following his exit from Sony, PlayStation legend Shuhei Yoshida has delivered his Bloodborne no-show theory. And we must be clear up front: this is Yoshida’s opinion, which in an interview with Kinda Funny Games he stressed is not inside information, or the reveal of the current deliberations within the bowels of Sony itself. “Bloodborne has always been the most asked thing,” Yoshida began. “And people wonder why we haven’t really done anything, even an update or a remaster. Should be easy, right? The company is known for doing so many remasters, right, some people get frustrated. “I ha...

GTA 5 Liberty City Mod Taken Down by Rockstar Games

A mod dedicated to recreating Liberty City within Grand Theft Auto 5, as a mod, has shut down. Insider-Gaming reports that the Liberty City Preservation Project, a mod meant to recreate the setting of GTA 4 as a mod for GTA 5, has been taken down at the request of Rockstar Games. In a statement on Discord, user nkjellman said "Due to the unexpected attention that our project received and after speaking with Rockstar Games, we have decided to take down the Liberty City Preservation Project." There's a new mod on the block for GTAV "Liberty City Preservation Project", I tried out the mod. It's AMAZING, it has a working subway network, the police and ambient traffic are faithful and it's so polished. Amazing work to the team of devs who worked on this! pic.twitter.com/aLLtOMvwsc — Ben (@videotechuk_) December 31, 2024 Rockstar is well-known for asking modders to take down various mods like this AI-powered GTA 5 story mode mod , or a VR mod for Red...

Black Ops 6 Zombies Season 2 Plans Include a New Tomb Map and More Quality-of-Life Changes

Treyarch is celebrating 115 Day with a mystery box full of announcements for Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 Zombies, including the reveal of a new map called The Tomb. This January 15 celebration serves as a particularly special holiday for Call of Duty players, as it comes with a full blog breakdown of every zombie-themed surprise players can look forward to in the near future. Headlining today’s announcements is the reveal of The Tomb, a sandy new Zombies map that will make its debut with the arrival of Season 2 come January 28. That means another addition to the Zombies universe following Season 1’s Citadelle des Morts is less than two weeks away. “After surviving the horrific events at Citadelle des Morts, Weaver, Grey, Carver, and Maya follow Gabriel Krafft’s final words to a nearby excavation site to secure the Sentinel Artifact,” a story summary from Treyarch said. “Built on the remains of ancient burial grounds with suspected origins dating back to 2500 B.C.E., these catacomb...

Marvel Rivals Dev Promises a New Hero Every Month and a Half

NetEase Games is telling Marvel Rivals players that a new hero will launch every month and a half as additional seasons roll out. The studio’s creative director, Guangyun Chen, clarified the team’s post-launch plans during an interview with Metro . He doesn’t mince words, promising to release a playable character every half-season. That equals out to at least one new hero every month and a half, or roughly every six weeks. “Every season we’ll be rolling out fresh seasonal stories, new maps, and new heroes. We’ll actually be breaking down each season into two halves,” Chen said. “The length of one season is three months. And for each half of the season, we will introduce a new hero. We just eventually want to continue to enhance the experience, and, you know, keep everyone excited in our community.” It’s a tall order that will leave fans with one question as every season winds down: who’s next? Marvel Rivals Season 1: Eternal Night Falls already kicked things off with a strong st...

Monster Hunter Wilds: Capcom Explains How Cooking Works in the Seamless World – IGN First

Food has been depicted as an important part of the Monster Hunter series from the start, whether it comes to defeating enemies or depicting its world. In the games up until now, you could order a tasty meal from a Felyne before heading out on a quest, or hunt an herbivorous monster in the field and roast it until it's well-done. Food remains as important as ever in the newest installment in the series, Monster Hunter Wilds. Hunters can use the Portable BBQ Grill to cook up a meal with their Palico, wherever and whenever out in the fields. Once it's ready, you can scarf down some hot and fresh meat. Seeing this gives the powerful sense that the hunter, which is to say the player controlling that hunter, is really living within the world of the game. Depicting the act of eating, a central part of life, is more important than anything when giving a sense of reality to the ecosystems of these monsters and the world that they share with hunters. That belief has been also held b...

Halo Finally Looks Set to Make the Jump to PlayStation This Year

Microsoft is seemingly ready to launch its flagship Xbox video game series Halo on rival platforms for the first time, including PlayStation and Nintendo Switch 2. Leaker NateTheHate, who this week reported that Nintendo is set to reveal Switch 2 on January 16 , also reported in a separate podcast that Microsoft will finally bring Halo to PlayStation in the form of a PlayStation 5 port of Halo: The Master Chief Collection, as well as a release on Switch 2. Windows Central’s Jez Corden subsequently corroborated the report . Microsoft declined to comment when contacted by IGN. While Microsoft’s multiplatform video game strategy is well-documented at this stage, Halo was seen as the final frontier. However, perhaps the famous first-person shooter’s flight from Xbox shouldn’t come as a surprise. Last year, Microsoft’s gaming chief Phil Spencer said there were no “red lines” in its first-party lineup when it comes to going multiplatform — and that included Halo. Speaking to Bloomber...

Predicting the Switch 2 Launch Games

With the release of the Nintendo Switch 2 very clearly on the horizon , we’re starting to wonder what we’ll be playing on it come launch day. So, in the absence of an official day one lineup, why don’t we have a good ol’ guess? Nintendo has a well-stocked stable of reliables, and so some of our predictions – such as the arrival of a certain mustachioed plumber in one form or another – are more likely than not. But we’re also hopeful for the re-emergence of some previously announced new projects from beloved indie studios. Now, we know it’s too much of a dream to think that all of these games will hit the Switch 2 on day one, but even if we get half of them we think we’re in for a great time when we pick up those new joy-con. Here’s what we think (or more accurately, hope) Nintendo has in store for us when the Switch 2 launches. Mario Kart 9 Over a whole decade has passed since Mario Kart 8 was released for Wii U, and in that time it has morphed into the most complete and essent...

All the Games Reportedly Set for Release on Nintendo Switch 2

Following yesterday’s reports about Nintendo’s reveal plan for the Switch 2 , a number of games were alleged to be set for the unannounced next-gen console. Leaker Nate the Hate, who was first to publish Nintendo’s alleged Switch 2 reveal release date via their podcast , speculated that a new Mario Kart will launch alongside the console itself in May or June, with a 3D Mario set for holiday 2025. IGN has asked Nintendo for comment. Third-party games allegedly set for Switch 2 from Square Enix include Final Fantasy 7 Remake in 2025, and Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth in 2026. According to Nate the Hate, a number of Switch 2 games are coming from Ubisoft, including a port of Assassin’s Creed Mirage in the console’s launch window. The upcoming Assassin’s Creed Shadows , currently only down for release on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X and S, and PC, is also reportedly coming to Switch 2, although at a later date outside the launch window. Other Ubisoft ports allegedly include games from ...
