Sega continues to wind down relevancy, won’t have an E3 booth

Japan’s gaming giants lumber off As a business, Sega is doing fine. It has two mobile games that, on their own, each turn over $5 million a month. That’s to say nothing of Sega’s succesful non-gaming businesses. The company’s projected revenue forecast on the fiscal year is up almost $90 million over last year’s. Go over thefinancial releaseif you want. As a developer and publisher of moderate to big budget videogames, particularly outside of Japan, Sega is shrinking....

Sony fixed the looming PS4 CMOS battery issue, which is great for future-proofing

Without this fix, the PS4 would’ve one day lost the ability to play digital and physical games With the recent 9.00firmware update, Sony has addressed an eventual PS4 CMOS battery issue (or so-called “CBOMB”) that would have eventually, one day, led to a situation where users’ PS4s would be unable to play digital or physical games. To not-so-briefly sum up the situation, when a certain battery inside the PS4 — the one used to track the internal date and time — inevitably dies,because nothing lasts forever, the console can spit out an error (CE-30391-6) that breaks the ability to play games....

Star Wars: The Acolyte’s martial arts dredge up memories of an infamous Star Wars game

Disney recently released two action sequences to tease the debut of its Disney+ streaming showThe Acolyte. One shows Indara, the character played by Carrie-Ann Moss, trading blows with Amanda Steinberg’s character, Mae. New clip from ‘STAR WARS: THE ACOLYTE’Releasing June 4 on Disney+pic.twitter.com/ux5TF081DJ The other clip shows Sol, the character played bySquid Game’sLee Jung-Jae, once again up against Mae. But something feels off here. At least Sol and Indara are clearly Jedi, so I’m kinda baffled that they’re keeping their lightsabers off when possibly up against anassassin of Jedi....

The Witness looks lovely in this latest PS4 footage

‘The field of what’s possible in games is so large’ WhileThe Witnessmight seem like quite the departure fromBraid, at least at first glance, there are similarities to be found — particularly with the way the games’ overall themes are presented. “When you go in, if you just are interested in a puzzle game and you’re not really looking at story or philosophy or anything like that, there is a really good puzzle game,” says designer Jonathan Blowin this developer video....
