We’ll probably never see it For months fans have been watchingMetal Gear Solid V‘s cut“Mission 51,”hoping that eventually it would see the light of day. And withthe “Definitive” editionofPhantom Paincoming soon, it seems like it would be a good opportunity for Konami to finish it, but that’s not the case. In fact, Konami actually clarifies that it is “definitely not the ending,” and that “the ending [toPhantom Pain] isn’t and never has been missing,” — Mission 51 was canceled prior toPhantom Pain, and “is a prequel game toMetal Gear(1987)....

I can’t get down with any of LMFAO’s music without changing the words to make the songs about corgis. Here’s an example from “Party Rock”: Girl lookatdat corgi / Girl lookatdat corgi / Girl lookatdat corgi / He’s so long OR Corgi dogs are in the house tonight / every puppy goin’ have a good time / My corgi make you lose your mind … Why am I telling you about how I abuse LMFAO songs?...

It’s no speaker hat, but it’s cool Atari has been in the news a lot lately, whether it be theirnew console, presence in theBlade Runnersequel, or not at all incredibly stupidspeaker hats. This time the story is less about Atari’s new brand and more about the old one. RedditorLo64Nwas shopping at a thrift store in Oceanside, California, when he came across an Atari console he didn’t recognize. Luckily we live in the age of the internet, so a quick Google search told him that it was a very rare prototype for the Atari 2700....

Silhouette Shodown SNK has revealed their intentions to fully reveal three all-new characters headed to their upcoming feudal fighter,Samurai Shodown. An image has been released featuring three silhouettes, giving us a tantalising glimpse at the new noggin-smashers. We already know the figure on the left is saw-wielding sea-dog and my knee-jerk reaction favourite video game character of all-time,Darli Dagger, but who do we have in the center and on the right?...

Not seeing any plumbobs As part of the Paradox Announcement Show, Paradox Tectonic has announcedLife By You, which at first glance is looking like a take onThe Sims. Ateaser trailerhas been dropped, with the promise that we’ll get a deeper look on March 20. https://youtu.be/ZNhV-Gnjdy8 While it doesn’t seem likeCities: Skylinesdeveloper Colossal Order is involved, I felt that this would be a natural progression for the publisher as a whole....

Yes, “chipper” is about the best word I can think of to describe intro movie toPersona 4 Golden, animated courtesy of studio Madhouse (Redline). “Cheery” doesn’t quite cut it, and “trippy” would put imply that it’s difficult to comprehend, which is precisely not the case. In fact, just watching it shows quite aptly some of the new content Vita-owningPersonafans can expect. See if you can spot all the new additions before it comes out on PS Vita this fall....

Niantic is back to their old tricks As a day onePokemon Goplayer, I’m no stranger to witnessing Niantic making bad choices firsthand. But this particular choice (in addition to some of their design philosophies during lockdown) really takes the cake; especially with taking into account all of their past mistakes. In short, they’re retooling the remote raid function: one of the more interesting endgame activities for hardcore players. And that same player base has…thoughts....

So long to a troubled, but memorable iteration [One of the community’s most dedicated fighting game fans,Virtua Kazama,prepared a few words for the departure of Capcom’sStreet Fighter V,a game which will be remained for its notorious launch and divisive gameplay, but also for creating great tournament moments and, ultimately turning its fortunes around.–Moyse] Street Fighter V… where do I begin? Seems just like yesterday when I wrote a blog about saying goodbye toSFIV, you came out with a rocky start....
