To think, this was going to be a launch title at one point I hope you aren’t expecting Evolution Studios’DriveClubanytime soon. Based on a recent chat about the racing game’s status between PlayStation software product development head Scott Rhode andIGN, we could be in for a longer wait than previously thought. “What I will say is that it all comes back to that fundamental principle, and that’s that we want to build great games,” he said....

When Square Enix announced the Meister Quality Hydaelyn & Zodiark figure back in January, along with its associated in-game emote Apocalyptic Charades, players were left shocked by not only the price of $350 but also by the accompanying emote’s limitations. According to the item description, Apocalyptic Charades was character locked. This means that the emote would only be usable by one character associated with the buyer’s account, something that left many disappointed, considering the fact thatFFXIVallows you to have multiple characters....

The two videos featurePersona 3’ssomewhat-shy Fuuka Yamagishi, who forgets her typical reserved nature to start throwing shapes on the dance floor.Persona 5is repped by computer whiz-kid Fuuka Sakura, who, quickly and easily, became one of the game’s most popular and beloved characters within the community....

I’ve yet to figure out this wholeSteam Trading Cardsthing, and the fact that the virtual cards are in beta hasn’t helped matters. That’ll be resolved soon enough — Valveplans to open upTrading Cards to all Steam users on Wednesday, June 26 at 11:00am Pacific. How very specific. The company has also shifted features like the Card Binder and Trade Offers to post-release status, though an exact time frame hasn’t been pinned down yet....

During Evo 2024, Bandai Namco shared a new trailer highlighting the first season of content and updates it has planned forTekken 8, capping things off with a DLC character reveal for Lidia Sobieski. As a refresher, Lidia is the prime minister of Poland and a practitioner of karate who was introduced as a DLC fighter inTekken 7. HerTekken 8reveal doesn’t show any of her gameplay, sadly, though I can’t imagine she’ll play that much differently to how she did inTekken 7....

‘Breaking Brick Mountains’ Final Fantasy XIV likes to keep players interested with three month major patch cycles, but in-between there’s little events here and there that are the glue that holds it all together. They’re not above re-using them though, and just like theYo-Kai Watchevent, theDragon Questcrossover “Breaking Brick Mountains” is returning later this month. From November 30 until December 14, you’ll be able to battle Golems and earn cosmetic items....

It’s called ‘Pocket Monsters’ Pokémon Sword & Shield‘s new region is called “Galar,” and we’ve seen quite a bit of it so far by way of gameplay trailers these past few months. But when the new season of the anime airs later this year, it’s not going to be the only featured region. New seasons ofPokémonhave followed the same basic setup for a few decades now: Ash travels to a new region, promoting whatever the new game entry is, and meets new creatures and friends (usually characters from the games)....

Star Citizenpasses yet another impressive milestone It’s a known fact that it takes a long, long time to make games, but Cloud Imperium Games is testing gamers’ patience with their in-development titleStar Citizen, which began pre-production all the way back in 2010. The game was officially announced in 2012 with the launch of a Kickstarter campaign to raise funds for development, and while it was anticipated to release in 2014, the game was delayed multiple times… and still is yet to receive any sort of official release window....

As modern gamers, we’ve evolved into a sort of ravenous, wasteful species of creature I’m not sure I’m comfortable with. We chomp through games like we’re fighting to get to the other side of something; licking the frosting out of our Oreos and pitching what’s left out the window so we can get to the Chips Ahoy. I’m as guilty of it as anyone else, if not moreso for being a gaming journalist....

Best of 2012 It was great, albeit strange, year for game music. We heard a lot of amazing music from some unexpected places. It feels particularly strange to me not seeing any nominees from major publishers including Square Enix, Sega, Capcom, or Konami, but this is certainly a sign of the times. To emphasize this point even further, I can barely name more than a couple of the developers behind the titles nominated for best Soundtrack of 2012, and that’s saying something!...

Can you spare two Benjamins? We already told you about some of theBlack Friday bundlesplanned for PlayStation 3 and Vita, so now it’s Microsoft’s turn. If you’ve been keeping up with the deals this year, much of this likely won’t be news to you, but it’s still nice to have it all in one place. Walmart will have an exclusive glossy white Xbox 360 4GB console and controller withSkylandersand an exclusive figurine for $149....
