In all seriousness, Battlefront II looks great. It seems to be fixing most of the issues people had with the previous Battlefront back in 2015. They’ve added a single-player campaign, you can now fight in every canonical era in the Star Wars universe, there are now space battles, multiplayer is being “expanded” from its barebones original, and there’s no season pass. All of these additions and changes to the sequel are great and EA and Dice should be commended for listening so closely to the fan base’s complaints and rolling with them gracefully.
That being said, there are plenty of reasons to be worried about this new outing in the rebooted Star Wars: Battlefront games. For starters, the fact that it is a rebooted series of games highlights the first major issue with this game and the problem many gamers had with Battlefront in 2015. When that game came out, it was constantly being compared to the original Star Wars: Battlefront from 2004 and its 2005 sequel, Star Wars: Battlefront II. The sheer amount of quality content in the original two games completely outshined the 2015 reboot. Despite the fact that it wasn’t meant to be a sequel, people couldn’t help but make comparisons to the originals, especially since the games share a name.
To quickly go over some of the complaints, the originals allowed for gameplay in both the Clone Wars (prequels) era and the Galactic Civil War (original trilogy) era, they had single-player content and even a campaign to go along with it, Battlefront II had space battles, and they both had a huge amount of maps to work with from the massive pantheon of Star Wars lore that existed at the time. The new Battlefront only allowed for gameplay in the original trilogy era thus only allowing for two factions to be used (Empire and Rebels), minimal single-player content that paled in comparison to the originals (whose campaigns weren’t much to write home about to begin with), there were no space battles in the base game, and there were only four playable planets: Tatooine, Hoth, Endor, and Sullust. I’ll give Dice credit for making Jakku playable as free DLC and for not having much to work with considering the entirety of Star Wars’ canon had been soft-rebooted with barely any new content at the time of release, but the prequels and the roadmap for a successful single-player, multiplayer, and outer space gameplay experience already existed and they didn’t take full advantage. All this, not even mentioning the steep $110 price tag for the “full” yet still lacking experience.
EA seems to be moving in the right direction with this game but, there’s also absolutely no guarantee that even this version of Battlefront II will live up to the hype surrounding it by fans of the original two and by people scorned by the initial reboot hoping for this game to be where things get better. I’m right there with everyone hyping this game, hoping for it to be great. I caved and bought the last one, but I’m going to wait and see what the general consensus is here before I spend my hard earned money on what could potentially be another disappointment.

Helldivers 2 proved to be a surprising success, highlighting the unpredictable nature of the gaming industry. As per Circana analyst Mat Piscatella, it currently ranks as Sony’s seventh highest grossing game in the United States to date, trailing behind a trio of Spider-Man titles, a couple of God of War games, and Ghost of Tsushima. It’s only been on the market for less than three months and is not even being sold at full price.
According to Piscatella, a significant factor contributing to the game’s success is its release on PC. He mentioned that, based on Circana’s Player Engagement Tracker, the game has consistently ranked first in terms of active users on Steam in the US since its launch, including April. The release of Helldivers 2 on both PlayStation and PC has been an extraordinary triumph.
He stated that Helldivers 2 has already become the seventh highest-grossing Sony-published game in history. Without a PC, it would not currently be considered one of the top 20 games. While I’m emphasizing the success of the PC SKU, it’s important to note that I’m not disregarding the success of the PlayStation SKU. I just wanted to clarify that. This launch has proven to be incredibly successful.
Prior to the release of Helldivers 2, Sony made it clear that they would be launching their live service-style titles simultaneously on both the PS5 and PC. The success of this approach will undoubtedly strengthen their strategic vision. It will be intriguing to witness if the company reveals official sales figures in the near future, as the title appears to be one of the platform holder’s most successful sellers to date.

The developer of Stellar Blade for the PS5 Expressing gratitude to the fans for their unwavering support amidst a recent controversy surrounding censorship
Shift Up, the Korean developer, seems to be reconsidering its contentious alterations to the Stellar Blade outfit. In a message to fans, they have urged everyone to stay tuned for updates and expressed gratitude for the passionate feedback from players. For those who may not be aware, a petition gained significant attention over the weekend when gamers discovered changes made to a few of the game’s costumes through a day-one patch.
The launch day update includes a fantastic New Game + mode, but some players were disappointed by the changes made to protagonist Eve’s outfit. These alterations sparked debates about censorship. Director Hyung-Tae Kim later clarified that this was the studio’s original vision, but he acknowledged that it may require further persuasion to win over users. Internal discussions were also underway to address any concerns.
Thanks to all our Stellar Blade fans for your passion & feedback. Stay tuned for updates🤍 pic.twitter.com/jCRzM4OQBS

There is no definitive confirmation regarding the reversal of the outfits, but considering the language used in the statement and the widespread controversy surrounding the alterations, it is highly likely that a future patch will restore the original costumes.

It’s quite possible. Fans all over the world are interested in Shift Up’s highly anticipated action-adventure game, Stellar Blade. With its captivating post-apocalyptic setting reminiscent of Nier and a compelling protagonist named Eve, it’s no wonder the game has generated such widespread attention.
The game consistently impresses with its stunning visuals and high-octane action, leaving players in awe with each new trailer.
Yet, just like other noteworthy second-party and third-party game releases, fans are pondering: Will Stellar Blade be available on PC?
In this article, we delve into the details to determine the platform availability of the highly anticipated title.
Will Stellar Blade be available on PC? Allow me to provide you with the answer.
Unfortunately, Stellar Blade will not be available on PC, at least not initially. Currently, the game is only available on PlayStation 5 starting on April 26, 2024.
Regrettably, it appears that there is no indication of a potential PC release for Stellar Blade in the future. In most cases, trailers for PlayStation timed-exclusive titles conclude with a disclaimer that specifies the duration of their exclusivity.
In the Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth launch trailer, it is explicitly stated that the game will only be accessible on other platforms starting on May 29, 2024.
Regrettably, when it comes to the stellar blade, there is no indication of such.
It’s important to note that Sony Entertainment Interactive published Stellar Blade, unlike Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth. This means that the chances of it being released on PC or other platforms in the near future are even slimmer.
However, it is worth noting that there is a chance the game might be released on PC in the future, given PlayStation’s track record of bringing their exclusive titles to the platform. However, it could be a while before this comes to fruition.
