July 7, 2022July 7, 2022 Jay Hammond

Any Live-Action Persona Adaptation should be a new story. Sega is looking to expand its adaptation love after the massive success of the Sonic the Hedgehog live-action movies. This includes Persona, a JRPG series of games that can last dozens to hundreds of hours depending on the player’s strength. Persona is not an anime adaptation as it condenses a 100-hour-long story into a handful of episodes. Sega, I beg you not to adapt any games to live-action Personaprojects. Sega producer Toru Nakahara spoke to I.G.N. and stated that the company plans to use Atlus’ games for live-action T.V., movies,…

July 7, 2022July 7, 2022 Payton Russell

Happy 20th Birthday, Warcraft III: Reign of Chaos Blizzard Entertainment was primarily known for developing real-time strategy and gaming games before Overwatch and World of Warcraft. They did dabble in other genres during the 90s, creating hits such as Rock n’ Roll Racing and The Lost Vikings, not to mention the genre-defining Diablo. Their meat and potatoes in the late 90s were the twin Starcraft and Warcraft franchises. Warcraft was mostly forgotten by its futuristic sequel, Warcraft II: Tides of Darkness, which came out in 1995. RTS fans had largely moved on to the immensely-popular Starcraft.

What has changed in the games media industry over the past 30 years? Giant Bomb’s new Jeff, of the Grubb variety, was my guest on Thanks for the Knowledge last week. I had the pleasure to speak with Jeff Gerstmann this week. He recently quit the outlet he co-founded to start his own business. It was great to talk about 2022’s games through the lens of AEW. But I was also curious about Jeff Gerstmann’s thoughts on becoming an independent wrestler after nearly thirty years of wrestling. Since I began paying more…

EA’s Bad Single Player Games Tweet Depends on an Outdated Narrative

July 7, 2022July 7, 2022 Adrian Shaffer

EA’s Bad Single Player Games Tweet Depends on an Outdated Narrative You may have seen a tone-deaf tweet on Twitter over the past week. It was a joke about single-player gamers and riffed on an old meme. You’re familiar with Mass Effect and Dead Space. As you would expect, the developers on the publisher’s teams were not happy about it. A follow-up tweet was sent that apologized but made clear that the account was retracing its steps. According to USA Today, the tweet received enough backlash from internal and external…
