Resident Evil Requiem Needs A Non-Scary Mode, Says Resident Evil 2 Director Resident Evil Requiem may be a little too scary for Hideki Kamiya, which is ironic since he directed the original Resident Evil 2 in 1998 and worked on the first RE game as well as Resident Evil Zero. Despite that survival-horror pedigree, Kamiya recently expressed his desire to play Requiem without having to deal with its scarier scenes. Kamiya's studio, Clovers, posted a clip of the team playing Requiem, which includes Kamiya's remarks about about the franchise. "I've been saying forever they should make a 'non-scary' mode," said Kamiya. "Look, I just want to enjoy the puzzles ... and the combat. I don't need the scary stuff."Continue Reading at GameSpot

New Super Mario Bros. Wonder Trailer Shows Off Elephant Rosalina Nintendo has finally given players a glimpse of Elephant Rosalina via a new trailer for the Super Mario Bros. Wonder Nintendo Switch 2 Edition + Meetup in Bellabel Park, which launches later this month. Three minutes and 26 seconds into the trailer, Rosalina appears in her human form, standing near an Elephant Fruit. Once consumed, she transforms into Elephant Rosalina. In addition to her standard teal dress and royal crown, the ever-fashionable princess is still sporting her iconic hairdo while in elephant form, with her bangs covering one eye as they always have. (That enormous elephant trunk is on full display, however.) Elephant Rosalina has been a topic of discussion among Mario fans for years, with YouTuber Zack Scott commissioning artwork of her back in 2023 that looks surprisingly similar to her appearance in Super Mario Bros. Wonder Nintendo Switch 2 Edition + Meetup in Bellabel Park.Continue Reading at GameSpot

Pickmon Accused Of Being A Pokemon Rip-Off, But It's Worse Than That In the days since its Steam reveal, PocketGame's first-ever non-mobile title, Pickmon, has stirred up a lot of controversy. Described on Steam as a "multiplayer open-world survival crafter" in which players team up with their Pickmon to "fight, farm, and build industrial empires while thwarting a shadowy organization's plot," it's not hard to see why so many folks are calling it a Pokemon rip-off. The thing is, it's not just a Pokemon rip-off. It's also a Breath of the Wild rip-off and a rip-off of the pre-existing Pokemon-like Palworld, which also faced accusations of being a Pokemon clone when it launched in 2024. Pickmon's Steam description is almost identical to Palworld's description, which reads, "Fight, farm, build and work alongside mysterious creatures called 'Pals' in this completely new multiplayer, open-world survival and crafting game." A closer look at the game's trailer reveals the sheer level of shameless copycatting for all to see.Continue Reading at GameSpot

Pokemon Pokopia PSA: You Don't Have to Manually Water All the Grass The latest Pokemon game, Pokemon Pokopia, puts players in charge of creating a happy home for creatures of all shapes and sizes. It takes a lot of work, but you can cut down on at least one chore. Consider this your Pokemon PSA for the day: You don't have to water all of the grass. Pokopia players have been sharing messages on social media to let everyone else know that putting in this much busywork just isn't necessary.

Slay The Spire 2 Devs Won't Add Microtransactions, Even Though Fans Would Pay For Them Players should not expect Mega Crit to ever add microtransactions to Slay the Spire 2, according to recent comments from one of its developers. In a recent interview with Destructoid, Mega Crit co-founder Casey Yano admitted that "a lot of our players threaten to buy all and any cosmetics we may ever release," but that the indie team has no interest in releasing any such content because "we're microtransaction haters." He went on to elaborate that Mega Crit wants "players to experience all of the same content as discussion of game content and balance is sort of our lifeblood." Mega Crit recently released Slay the Spire 2 into early access on Steam, and it was a massive hit. At the time of this writing, the game has achieved a concurrent player count peak of 574,638, which is higher than Marathon or even Arc Raiders ever achieved. Although Mega Crit could heavily monetize that large player base if it wanted to, and some people might not even complain about it, the studio is only interested in free updates throughout early access.Continue Reading at GameSpot

Diablo 4: Lord Of Hatred Will Have 12 Torment Difficulty Levels To Grind Diablo 4's upcoming Lord of Hatred expansion is making yet another big change to the ARPG's difficulty system, this time increasing the number of Torment tiers from four to 12. Blizzard revealed the news as part of an interview with ARPG content creator Wudijo. In the interview, associate game director Zaven Haroutunian said the eight additional Torment tiers are an attempt to keep the world and enemies relevant as players grow stronger. The increased rewards from higher tiers is one reason why the expansion is adding a loot filter, Haroutunian said. Design director of systems Colin Finer told PC Gamer in a separate interview that 12 Torment tiers makes the increased rewards for each tier "more granular." However, while Torment will go all the way up to 12, most players aren't intended to ever reach that point. The game's highest difficulty will instead be aspirational, with game designer Aislyn Hall stating Torment 12 is going to be "really f****** hard."Continue Reading at GameSpot

First Call Of Duty: Warzone Black Ops Royale Gameplay Footage Is Full Of Blackout Nostalgia As Activision promised, the new mode for Call of Duty: Warzone looks like a proper throwback to the franchise's first battle royale, letting fans grapple-hook and glide around the game's Avalon map like it's 2018. New gameplay footage from the official Call of Duty YouTube channel shows that the upcoming Black Ops Royale mode contains plenty of references to the original Blackout mode. The 45-minute-long video contains an interview with Raven Software's Pete Actipis, who explained how the development team approached translating older Blackout concepts into Warzone. The video then shifted to several matches of Black Ops Royale with teams led by eSports players JoeWo and Repullze. Actipis showed off high-tier loot zones during one of the matches, comparing them to the zombie-infested areas in Blackout. Viewers also observed that several sound effects return from Blackout, including the circle-closing alert noise, which should bring back some memories for hardcore Black Ops fans.Continue Reading at GameSpot

Console Wars Help Fans Feel Like "Soldiers In Battle," Former Xbox Exec Says Former Xbox executive Peter Moore--who helped run Xbox during its earliest days--has come forward to say the console war between Microsoft and Sony was maybe "all my fault." Speaking to The Game Business, Moore said he might bear some of the responsibility for how heated things can get when fans of one piece of plastic argue with fans of another piece of plastic. To be sure, the console wars didn't begin with PlayStation vs. Xbox, as Nintendo and Sega had beef years before. "Maybe it's all my fault, developing the console wars and getting in each other's faces," he said. Moore specifically help orchestrate the so-called "console war" based in part on learnings from when he worked at the shoe company Reebok. He said when he was competing with the likes of Nike, Adidas, and Puma, the idea was to "create this sense of competition."Continue Reading at GameSpot

The Boys Is Getting A Game Right Before Its Final Season Begins Arvore and Sony Pictures Virtual Reality have released a new trailer for The Boys: Trigger Warning, offering a first look at VR gameplay and confirming that it'll release later this month. The Boys: Trigger Warning lands on Meta Quest 3 on March 26, about two weeks before the fifth and final season of the Prime Video TV show begins on April 8. A PlayStation VR2 port is also in development, but does not yet have a release date. The game follows a man who teams up with The Boys in order to rescue his daughter and get revenge on a group called The Armstrongs. As you can see in the trailer, it's a first-person stealth and action game where players fight Vought and The Armstrongs with a variety of different wacky powers. The trailer also shows how The Boys: Trigger Warning features voice work from actors from the show, like Jensen Ackles, Laz Alonso, Colby Minifie, and P.J. Byrne. Homelander and Billy Butcher will also appear, but don't appear to be voiced by Antony Starr and Karl Urban, respectively. Continue Reading at GameSpot

Crimson Desert PC Requirements And Console Specs Revealed: Check If Your Rig Is Ready One of the more impressive-looking games of March 2026 is easily Crimson Desert, as the open-world fantasy game looks rich with bandits, brigands, and beasts to conquer across the beautiful--yet brutal--continent of Pywel. Is your PC up to the challenge of rendering all those pixels and just how well will it run on console? Developer Pearl Abyss has released official PC requirements and the targeted performance levels for consoles for the game, which runs on the studio's proprietary BlackSpace Engine. The PC requirements aren't too demanding if you're aiming for a 1080p experience at 60 FPS, but once you start looking to push the visuals up to the sweet spot of 1440p or beyond, that's when you'll need to start investing in some expensive PC hardware. No matter which performance level you target, the game will require you to have at least 16GB of RAM and an SSD with 150GB of storage capacity available. Over on consoles, the performance targets from Pearl Abyss detail the resolutions and frame rates Xbox and PlayStation players can expect on their systems. With the exception of the Xbox Series S, console users will have three modes to choose from: Performance, Balanced, and Quality. PS5 Pro owners can get an upscaled 4K resolution from the Performance and Balanced modes, while the Quality mode offers a native 4K at 30 FPS.Continue Reading at GameSpot

The game will launch on April 20 for PC, PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and Nintendo Switch. Chronic Blunt Punch is a side-scrolling tag-team beat 'em up in which players control Jay and Silent Bob as they go on an adventure that takes them "to the gates of hell itself." The game bills itself as a love letter to classic beat 'em ups but with updated features and controls. "This isn't a typical button masher," the developer said.Continue Reading at GameSpot

Someone Predicted Super Mario Galaxy Movie's Yoshi Casting Over A Year Ago Nintendo, Universal Pictures, and Illumination waited a long time to unveil Yoshi in The Super Mario Galaxy Movie, and an even longer period before revealing that Donald Glover will lend his voice to the friendly dinosaur in the film. But apparently someone guessed that Glover was playing Yoshi all the way back in December 2024. X user silversfan06--who posts as Silver the Hedgehog--shared a post that's now gone viral for its simple prediction: "Donald Glover as Yoshi." donald glover as yoshi — Silver The Hedgehog (@silversfan06) December 22, 2024 No one is more surprised about the accuracy of that prediction than Silver, who responded to the now popular post with the following message: "I don't know, I just thought it was good casting." Silver has also shared a few humorous responses to calls for more predictions.Continue Reading at GameSpot

Arnie Says He'll Reprise His Mortal Kombat Role As Conan The Barbarian On The Big Screen Legendary action movie star--and former California governator--Arnold Schwarzenegger has revealed that he's in talks to reprise several of his signature roles for new Conan the Barbarian, Predator, and Commando movies. "They did an additional Predator, and the director [Dan Trachtenberg] has been doing a great job of that. Now, he wants me to be in the next Predator. We've talked about it," Schwarzenegger said at this year's Arnold Sports Festival (via Variety). "As a matter of fact, Fox Studios has kind of rediscovered Arnold. They've come to me and said, 'We want you to do Predator, we just got a script for you to do Commando 2.'" Schwarzenegger also commented on the long-in-development King Conan, which will be helmed by Christopher McQuarrie, the director behind the last four Mission Impossible movies. "It's a great story where Conan was 40 years king [as] king and he gets complacent, and now he gets forced out of the kingdom, slowly," Schwarzenegger said (via THR). Then there's conflict, of course, and then he somehow comes back, and then there's all kinds of madness and violence and magic and creatures."Continue Reading at GameSpot

Amazon Raising A Pokemon Game Price To $80 Sets A Worrying Precedent Pokemon Pokopia might be the sleeper hit of the year, but it's a game that you'll have to shell out a little bit extra for if you're planning to grab it through Amazon. With the game in high demand, Amazon temporarily hiked the price on the physical edition of Pokemon Pokopia up from $70 to $80, but at the time of writing, it has dropped back down to $70--possibly due to some bad press and people complaining online. Still, Amazon could have set a worrying precedent for the future. What makes the situation even stranger is that Pokemon Pokopia is a Game-Key Card release--that means there's no game on the cartridge, as it's essentially an authentication key that you can use to download the game directly to your Switch 2 console and play it so long as it remains inserted. Third-party studios have largely embraced this format for a wide variety of releases, but Pokemon Pokopia is the first Nintendo exclusive to adopt this physical format, which has raised questions amongst video game preservationists about the future of their purchases. Amazon is also offering a digital download code for Pokemon Pokopia at its MSRP for $70, but what's really worrying here is that the company could kickstart a new trend with game releases. After all, if the largest online retail platform can get away with charging more than the listed MSRP, what's to stop other retailers from doing the same? Back when we started to see video game prices increase from $60 to $70 starting in 2020 for standard editions, the industry quickly shifted to this new pricing status quo, and we've even seen Nintendo launch games like Mario Kart World for $80.Continue Reading at GameSpot

The Adorable Yoshi And The Mysterious Book Gets A May Release Date It's Mario Day, but instead of announcing any new Mario content, Nintendo set a May 21 release date for Yoshi and the Mysterious Book. A video debuting on the Nintendo Today smartphone app showed what players will do in the company's next first-party Switch 2-exclusive title. The video, titled "Creature Discovery," has Yoshi jump into the eponymous "mysterious book" to find a bubble-blowing creature. Disturbingly (but very much in character), Yoshi attempts to eat the round-headed critter, finding it to taste soapy and bitter. As the video demonstrates, Yoshi can ride inside its bubbles and carry the creature on its back to create more bubbles. The creatures can also change and add to their abilities by eating fruit, opening up several platforming possibilities.Continue Reading at GameSpot

Fallout 3 Remaster Rumors Pick Up Again After Mysterious Toy Listings Appear Online Is the Fallout 3 remaster real? Bethesda refuses to comment on the rumored game, and recent teases like a countdown timer linked to the second season of Amazon's Fallout series have revealed nothing so far, but fans might have just been tossed a crumb of copium by an unlikely source: Spawn creator Todd McFarlane's toy company. New figure listings for upcoming action figures from McFarlane Toys have been spotted online, with one particular line (via r/GamingLeaksAndRumours) of "ELITE EDITION 7IN – FALLOUT 3 REMASTERED – #13 T-45B NUKA COLA" catching the attention of Fallout fans. While it might be a bit of a stretch to bank on a single toy listing revealing the existence of Fallout 3, it wouldn't be the first time that one of these companies has done this. Toy manufacturers typically get information on upcoming games well in advance so that they can produce collectibles in time for a game's launch, and in one example, McFarlane Toys revealed that Titanfall 2 was in development.Continue Reading at GameSpot

Resident Evil Requiem Is Getting New Story Content, Along With Photo Mode And A Minigame With 5 million sales in the bag, Capcom has confirmed that it plans to expand on Resident Evil Requiem with new content and a story expansion. Game director Koshi Nakanishi broke the news, confirming that a photo mode will be added to the game in the near future, and in May, a minigame will also appear in Resident Evil Requiem. Like previous mainline Resident Evil games, Resident Evil Requiem will also receive a story expansion in the future. Nakanishi teased that the expansion will "delve deeper into the world of Requiem," and it's now in development. The developer also made a few jokes related to ongoing Resident Evil Requiem discourse, including a cheeky tease of a game focused on revealing who the co-protagonist Leon S. Kennedy's wife is and a Resident Evil Match-Three puzzle game. Capcom is also working on improving Resident Evil Requiem on PC, and a recent patch introduced a number of fixes to deal with several performance issues.Continue Reading at GameSpot

Simpsons: Hit & Run Revival? "Never Say Never," Producer Says The GTA-inspired 2003 action game The Simpsons: Hit & Run is a fondly remembered licensed game based on the hit show, and fans have been calling for a remaster or re-release for years. The Simpsons executive producer Matt Selman has once again spoken up to give fans some semblance of hope that a revival of sorts could happen. Speaking to People, Selman said, "Never say never." He helped write the game, and admitted he had "no idea" it would become such an enduring success. He also recalled that the thinking at the time was that after people saw the success of 2001's GTA III, there was a desire to make a "The Simpsons version" of the Rockstar Games title.Continue Reading at GameSpot

PSA: You'll Have to Pay For Switch 2's GameChat Soon, And It's Not Worth It The Nintendo Switch 2 is doing very well for Nintendo financially, even as fans settle into the knowledge that it is essentially a more powerful, premium Switch system. The Switch 2 lacked the new bells and whistles that typically come with the notoriously experimental company. One major exception was the addition of a new C button, for Chat, a shortcut key for the new GameChat functionality. Now almost a year into its lifespan, the free-trial period for that feature is closing on March 31, 2026, after which you'll have to pay for it going forward. And we can confidently say, having played Switch 2 for almost a year now: Don't do that. Now, to be clear, GameChat isn't going to be its own paid subscription service. Instead, it will be part of a Nintendo Switch Online subscription, which is required to play many online games and comes with a few perks like the NES and Super NES game libraries. You may already have an NSO subscription, and even the basic version of it includes GameChat. So if you've already got it, you're covered, and nothing is really changing for you. Some players have speculated that Nintendo will be raising the price of NSO to accommodate the new feature--and simply because all kinds of subscriptions have raised in price over the last couple of years--but Nintendo hasn't announced a price hike yet. If you're already subscribed, the change will be virtually invisible to you. And to be frank, if you aren't subscribed, the change will also be invisible, because you've probably rarely if ever used GameChat.
