As Stellar Blade‘s release slowly approaches, rating boards are weighing their opinions on the game and whether or not it requires censoring to launch in certain countries. Japan’s CERO (ESRB equivalent) said it doesn’t, and leading to an EA Japan executive questioning the decision. In an April 21 post on X (formerly Twitter), EA Japan executive Shaun Noguchi called out the Computer Entertainment Rating Organization (CERO). The board gave Stellar Blade, an upcoming hack-and-slash published by Sony, the CERO D rating, allowing the game to launch uncensored in Japan for audiences aged 17 and above. This confused Noguchi since EA’s ***** Space remake was not allowed to show certain gory elements which he claims Stellar Blade also has. “I don’t understand,” he said. View the full article

Grinding professions in World of Warcraft can be exceptionally boring, especially if you’ve invested time into a profession on a prior character. Perhaps the biggest offenders of the “boring profession” conundrum are secondary professions like Fishing, Cooking, and Archaeology, which aren’t account-wide and have to be re-leveled on each alt. In a thread posted to the WoW subreddit earlier today, though, players hypothesized that these professions could be streamlined to become account-wide via the new Warband system coming with the launch of the game’s next expansion, The War Within. Warbands will make things like reputations, transmog items, and bank slots account-wide, and players want some of the game’s professions to meet that criteria as well. View the full article

What are the best Fallout 4 builds? The wasteland is a tough place to exist. It doesn't matter if you're a veteran of the RPG or you're coming fresh from the Fallout TV series, it pays to know the most powerful builds for your character so that you can survive against near-impossible odds, and thrive in the post-apocalypse. There is no one way to play this RPG game. Each character is a beautiful, horrible snowflake; it's tough out there, and you've got to do whatever it takes to survive. Some people want to be a walking juggernaut, decimating anything in their path, while others (us) opt for a more... devious approach, swindling their way across the wasteland.

Enlarge / Don't expect to see this on the iOS App Store any time soon. (credit: OatmealDome) [/url] Last week's release of the Delta emulation suite finally gave iOS users easy, no-sideloading-required access to classic Nintendo game emulation up through the Nintendo 64 era. When it comes to emulating Nintendo's subsequent home consoles on iOS, though, some technical restrictions imposed by Apple are making it difficult to get a functional emulator on the App Store. In a recent blog post, DolphiniOS developer (and longtime Switch hacker) OatmealDome explains how a Dolphin code fork—which ports the popular GameCube and Wii emulator to Apple's smartphone OS—uses just-in-time (JIT) compilation to translate the PowerPC instructions from those retro consoles into ARM-compatible iOS code. But Apple's App Store regulations against apps that "install executable code" (Section 3.3.1B) generally prevent JIT recompilation on iOS, with very limited exceptions such as web browsers. That restriction may have some valid security reasoning behind it, but it can also get in the way for developers of tools like third-party browser engines (except recently in the EU). While MacOS developers can make use of an explicit entitlement to allow JIT recompilation in an app, that exception doesn't apply to iOS developers. And while alternative App Stores and sideloaded apps (including DolphiniOS) have discovered various ways to enable JIT compilation on both jailbroken and stock iOS devices, these workarounds can get quite arcane and occasionally break with new iOS releases.
