Until Dawn, along with Horizon Zero Dawn, will probably go down as two modern titles that in no way, shape, or form needed remakes/remasters. Their original versions were perfectly playable on PS5, they're both less than a decade old, and they're absolutely fine to look at. The only thing that these remasters are really offering is improved performance and enhanced visuals, but in the case of Until Dawn, it doesn't even look like this new remade version is offering even that.

The old-school Diablo games endure for a lot of reasons. Some players like the deep lore and world-building. Some like partnering with friends and working through dungeons as a team. Some like hunting for incredibly rare loot and maybe selling it on a livestream. Sometimes, though, you ***** into high-level Diablo just for a chance to ***** a screen full of monsters really quickly. If that kind of high-density ****** ******** is what you're looking for, Halls of Torment's recent Version 1.0 release is a near-perfect take on the concept. Despite the decidedly old-school presentation, the game takes very modern inspiration from Vampire Survivors and its quick-hit bursts of leveling up through overwhelming ****** hordes. In doing so, it has become my absolute favorite way to wipe out enemies at rates approaching and exceeding 50,000/hour, at some points. Read full article Comments View the full article

New entries of both the Sword Art Online anime and the games have consistently been released for more than ten years now. On October 4th, both the newest anime season, Sword Art Online Alternative: **** Gale Online II, and the newest game, Sword Art Online: Fractured Daydream were released. SAO: FD is already quite different from the previous in the video game series, but we had to ask: What’s next for the Sword Art Online video games? Here’s what SAO: FD producer Shoehei Mogami and SAO game series producer Yosuke Futami had to say about the possibility of a more mature SAO game and the MMORPG-style SAO game they know fans want. “Sword Art Online itself, the anime and the game, will keep going into the future,” Futami said. “We do want to bring SAO to the next level, maybe even to a higher-performing console.” Futami also explained that while Sword Art Online: Fractured Daydream is more character-based, they maybe also want to try to do something around the concept of SAO that if you **** in game, you **** in real life. That’s something they want to explore in the future, but Futami clarified they likely wouldn’t implement a permadeath mechanic because “the current SAO game fans might be ****** and just might break their keyboard or something.” “We want to try to have more for those SAO fans who are adults and experience an SAO which is more mature,” Futami explained. We want to try to have more for those SAO fans who are adults and experience an SAO which is more mature The future of SAO probably also wouldn’t be something like a Souls-like, and because of the difficulty behind development, neither an MMORPG. “MMORPGs are very difficult to make,” Futami said, joking that in Japan it’s said to take 70 years to make one. “While we know the IP [Sword Art Online] would be great for it, and many of our fans and player community are interested in it, it's something we would only pursue once we know we have a strong concept and could do it right. Maybe, if all the stars aligned, we would be able to start making it.” Though it isn’t an MMORPG, Sword Art Online: Fractured Daydream seeks to emulate raids found in MMORPGs with 20-person dungeons and raid bosses, complete with boss-specific, rare loot that not everyone can pick up at the end of the ******. It’s also a standalone title, so anyone familiar with just some of the anime would be able to get into and understand SAO: FD, no previous SAO game knowledge required. “There’s a barrier to entry after ten years of [SAO] games,” Mogami said. “We want people who haven’t played the games to be able to enjoy SAO games.” The team also wanted to challenge themselves by implementing cross-play in SAO: FD, so friends aren’t barred from playing with each other, Mogami explained. There is one more thing we know about the future of SAO games, too: Though the chance is not entirely zero, don’t expect an SAO game without Kirito or Asuna. Having an SAO game without Kirito and Asuna, Futami said, “is like having a Dragon Ball without Son Goku.” Casey DeFreitas is IGN's Deputy Guides Editor. View the full article
