"Games are moving around. Feudal Japan just happened to be a place that, as a developer, I know I was eager to spend a lot of time trying to recreate. And as a gamer, I really wanted to play an open-world samurai game. And that's just one excellent place in history - there are so many m

_Updated March 28, 2023, by Branden Lizardi: With the success of Elden Ring and the release of titles like Wild Hearts, we find ourselves looking ever further for more games like Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice. Fans of the action-adventure game by FromSoft need not go hungry, though. We've found more titles that are sure to satisfy you. To make sure no one misses out, we've updated this list with a few more entrie

While there were tons of intriguing fighter present at E3 this year like Super Smash Bros. Ultimate , Dead or Alive 6 , and Jump Force , none impressed us more than SoulCalibur VI from Bandai Namco Entertainment. A combination excellent presentation and the implementation of mechanics that make this entry feel like a return to form for the series wowed us enough for it to take top spot for Best Fighting Game at E3 2

From everything that's been shown in the trailers, the game looks to be absolutely stunning. The visuals are like something you'd see from a painting and the landscapes will make you think that maybe, just maybe, you're not actually playing a game. The way that your character moves through the world and even the times when you're locked in deadly combat with your foes. All of this lends itself to the overall feeling the game wants to con

Development of Ghost of Tsushima is apparently going smoothly at Sucker Punch, despite the delays. There's said to be a significant amount of work going into the technical side of the game. The rumor doesn't make clear whether the technical upgrades came prior to Ghost of Tsushima being made into a PS5 title or as a result of being shifted to be a PS5 title. Considering how impressive Infamous: Second Son looked on PS4, expect Ghost of Tsushima to impress on P

The world felt alive as V, the game’s protagonist, roamed the streets of Night City. The fast-paced first person combat – a whole new genre for the Polish studio – was frenetic and strategic as you take future drugs to boast your abilities and dash to avoid enemy fire. The choices you make truly affect the outcome of every mission as you take jobs from gang bosses and interact with the corporate scum that controls the city. CD Projekt Red had a strong showing and if Cyberpunk 2077 somehow releases this game this generation, it will surely be one of the best the current consoles have s

"We were certainly very excited to make a game set in feudal Japan, because it brings up a lot of romantic images in our mind. Part of the fantasy around feudal Japan is being a samurai - that's an exciting job to have in feudal Japan. I do think it's under-utilized. I don't know why more games aren't set there, it's so appeali

"We rely on all these people to let us know where we're going astray. Sucker Punch is good at making gameplay, but we are not cultural experts in Kamakura-era Japan. We recognise this, and we're grateful to have the h

As you do have a horse which you can ride, it's likely that there will be some form of combat that you can do with your horse. Either way, the game promises to have a multitude of ways to engage in combat. Whether that be with your Katana, by bow or something else. Look forward to an engaging and fun form of com

When it was revealed that Fox McCloud, the leader of the Star Fox team, was going to be in Ubisoft’s "toys-to-life" space shooter Starlink: Battle for Atlas , I was floored. As a long-time Star Fox fan, hearing the iconic gibberish followed by Fox himself was one of my highlights from the show. From there, I was s

Now, for everyone wondering about the tally, of the votes received 17% went to Ghost Of Tsushima missions|https://tsushimalegend.com/ of Tsushima . Meanwhile the runners up were The Last of Us Part II (15%), Cyberpunk 2077 (12%), and Devil May Cry 5 (

It has to be clarified that this rumor originates from 4chan. While rumors sourced from 4chan tend to be very unreliable, some are interesting enough to acknowledge alongside a recommendation of heavy skepticism. This rumor is claimed to have come from an intra-department email at Sony regarding upcoming PlayStation marketing efforts and messaging. The veracity of the email has not been confirmed, but these types of emails aren't uncommon. But until Sony makes an official announcement, treat this information as unrelia

Dead or Alive has always maintained a passionate fanbase at DualShockers, and I'm no exception. The newest iteration -- Dead or Alive 6 -- is no exception, even with the game shying away from inclusion of fan favorites . Though, with robust and tight gameplay and stages that will have you shifting up strategy, playing a couple of pick-up rounds with Producer and Director Yohei Shimbori was an instant highlight from my time at
