I’m not entirely certain that most people were all that interested in seeing a Top Gun sequel, but it looks like we’re going to get one anyway. Suprised? You probably shouldn’t be. As I’m sure most people have already noticed by now pretty much all the big movies from the past decades have been getting sequels or remakes as of late so I guess we should have seen Top Gun 2 coming a mile away. Admittedly, this could have easily been a remake of the original 80’s classic, but as it happens we’ll be looking at a Top Gun sequel complete with Tom Cruise as the lead actor.

As of this writing, there are very few details available and none of them give any important hints in regards to a possible plot. What we do know is that the Top Gun sequel will once again star Tom Cruise as Lt. Pete “Maverick” Mitchell as he will no doubt attempt to show us one more time just how cool jet fighters truly are. According to Skydance CEO David Ellison, we can apparently also expect to see plenty of modern technology in this film. Specifically, during a recent promotional tour for Terminator Genisys Ellison mentioned the Top Gun sequel and stated that we should be looking forward to “drone technology and fifth generation fighters. It’s really exploring the end of an era of dogfighting and fighter pilots and what that culture is today.”

While we’re still pretty much in the dark when it comes to the actual story, it does seem like the plot will revolve around drones and the fact that modern warfare focuses on getting rid of the enemy from afar. If you ask me, a movie about some guy flying a drone with an Xbox One controller from a safe distance sounds way less exciting than the dogfights we’ve seen in the original movie. However, the notion definitely raises some important moral dilemmas that are definitely very relevant in today’s world. Will the Top Gun sequel be more than just a popcorn flick? I guess only time will tell, but based on these early details it sounds like the movie will try to tackle some issues that will be of particular interest to younger audiences, as opposed to grizzled old veterans.

ReFantazio Takes a Different Approach to Romance, Setting Itself Apart from the Persona Games

Atlus’ highly anticipated RPG, Metaphor: ReFantazio, appears to incorporate familiar systems reminiscent of the developer’s acclaimed Persona series. The game features turn-based battles that heavily rely on exploiting enemy weaknesses. Additionally, players have the ability to summon warrior spirits during combat. However, the most significant aspect of this game, which will be discussed in this article, is the bonding system. Through this system, players can spend time with important characters and gain deeper insights into their personalities and stories.

In contrast to the Persona games, the bonding system ends at that point. Unfortunately, players will be unable to pursue romantic relationships with their beloved waifus, which may come as a disappointment to those who have developed strong feelings for Hulkenberg, the party’s charismatic red-haired elven knight.

According to Siliconera, the absence of romance came up during a recent question and answer session. Atlus emphasized the continued opportunity to develop meaningful relationships with your allies while also introducing additional narratives through substories. In addition, familiarizing yourself with the supporting characters will grant you access to new archetypes, which serve as the game’s character classes.

In the Persona games, romance is not obligatory; rather, it serves as a means to customize your playthrough. However, it is quite unexpected that Metaphor has chosen not to pursue such a venture, considering the significant amount of discussion it typically generates!

Were you anticipating any romantic elements in Metaphor? If you’re not satisfied with your pre-order, feel free to share your thoughts in the comments section below.

It appears that many

are eagerly anticipating the launch of the highly anticipated PS5 exclusive, Stellar Blade. Shift Up, the developer, has shared a lengthy video showcasing the “secrets” found in the physical box of the game for PS5. From what we can gather, these secrets include a reversible cover/dust jacket and a download code for cosmetic items.

We must clarify that while we do appreciate the variant cover, it may be more appealing than the game’s standard art. However, it is not something we would typically classify as a “secret.”. However, what’s interesting is that Shift Up has confirmed through the comments section that this will be the case in all regions. Additionally, the visually striking action RPG will remain uncensored worldwide.

It’s refreshing to witness a developer going the extra mile for physical collectors, and it’s evident that the developer is determined to leave a favorable mark in the console realm. Stellar Blade is set to make its highly anticipated debut this Friday, April 26th, exclusively on the PS5.
