Vergil calling? Devil May Cry 5wasone of the bestcharacter action games in recent memory. So sure, it deserves to come forward a console generation with us. (As though quality is the only thing that dictates whether a game gets a next-gen version.) Capcom has revealed thatDevil May Cry 5: Special Editionis a new PS5 version of the 2019 game. However, the reveal trailer didn’t really tell us of any of the enhancements that’ll make it superior on PS5 from a tech standpoint....

jitters Have you ever been to QuakeCon? It’s fantastic. I missed it this year, and an infographic that Bethesda sent along shows me exactly what I missed. Take the jitters. It’s a reality for this 24-hour-a-day event, located in Dallas, TX. Energy drinks are a way of life there. Bethesda says that 15,552 cans of energy drink were consumed at the August 1-4 event — enough to fill up an LPG tank truck!...

[Editor’s note: Jackal27 takes a look at one of the first console games that had a level editor for hisMonthly Musingpiece. — CTZ] I really didn’t think I was going to have anything write about for this month’s topic. For whatever reason, I couldn’t think of a creative game or experience that I felt was worthy of writing about. That is until today when I began trying to figure out what the first game I ever played was and it hit me like a ton of bricks....

With the help of Kyoji! While more recentSuper Robot Warsgames – such asVandX –have gotten English releases, many people don’t realize that’s only the tip of the iceberg for the franchise. The franchise has been going for 25 years to date, with usually at least one entry for every major console. There are a lot ofSuper Robot Warsgames that will remain in Japan, unacknowledged and forgotten, due to having no English localisation....

September 16th Out of all of the MMOs that are coming out in the near future,ArcheAgeis at the top of my watch list. It promises a more sandbox-like style compared to the themepark MMO experience, with more open world activities, open housing, exploration, flight, farming, and politics. In other words, it’s somethingUltimaand old school MMO fans will want to watch out for. After a lengthy beta session, the game is set to drop on September 16th....

Yikes to all those provisos Even if she’s a character from the lone DLC forBloodborne, Lady Maria pops up quite a bit in discussions and random artwork for the game. She’s recognizable, is what I’m saying, and is probably easier to craft into a statue than a giant lightning monster. That statue, mind, is $600 (69,000 yen), and exclusive to Japan. Wait, can’t you just import it? Well, no, there’s no overseas shipping option available, so officially (barring a friend buying it and sending it to you, or scalping) you’re out of luck....

The upgraded Switch version is out June 15, 2025 With one week left to go, Capcom has scored another win forDevil May Cry 3 Special Editionon Nintendo Switch. The infamous Bloody Palace mode now supports local co-op, so you and a pal can team up as Dante and Vergil, and you’ll each be able to set your own controller customization options. You’ll want to use Pro Controllers if you’ve got ’em, but a single or double Joy-Con setup works too....

Free PC games from July 8–15 Bridge Constructor: The Walking DeadandIroncastare this week’s free-to-keep PC games from the Epic Games Store, and you know what? I’m not going to skip ’em. Lately, I’ve found it all too easy to not even bother redeeming some of these freebies, which is an odd sensation — there’s “Sure, I might play this game one day, might as well,” and then there’s “Nope, it’ll never happen....

Rumors of aCastlevaniafilm have been swirling around for years. I know at one point there were talks of doing aCastlevania IIIanimated adaptation. On the live-action front,Resident Evildirector Paul W.S. Anderson was on board, but those plans fell through as well — he probably couldn’t find a way to shoehorn Milla Jovovich into it. Recently, theNerdist Podcastwelcomed special guest Michael Dorn, best known for playing Worf onStar Trek: The Next Generation. He revealed that aCastlevaniamovie is finally happening and that he has a small role: “They finally got the OK from the owners, and so they’re doing that....
