I need to know something: am I psychic? Can I predict the future? I only ask because two days ago, I posted an article saying SEGA should announce the PC port of Vanquish instead of posting another vague and cryptic picture on Twitter. And today, SEGA posted a video announcing the Steam version of Vanquish. Either I’m psychic, or someone at SEGA read my article.

So yea, Vanquish is coming to PC via Steam on May 25th. According to the trailer and the Steam page, the game will feature “unlocked resolution” and “unlocked framerate,” which means gamers with beefy computers can play the game at hundreds of frames per second at 4K resolution.

The good news does not stop there, though. The PC version of Vanquish will also come with all available DLC, which is actually just one pack of weapons: a heavy machine gun useful against lightly-armored enemies, a miniaturized laser cannon, and an armor-piercing pistol. However, including this DLC with the Steam version for free is a welcome gesture, as are the two special pre-order deals. Gamers who pre-order the game will receive special user avatars, wallpapers, a digital soundtrack sampler, and a digital art book. Furthermore, anyone who owns Bayonetta on Steam will receive 25% off Vanquish. The game is already a steal at only $20, which gives Bayonetta-owners even more incentive to buy the game, not that they need it since Vanquish’s high-octane gameplay is incentive enough.

As with Bayonetta, Vanquish will not require a powerful computer. To say the game’s minimum and recommended system specs aren’t demanding despite all of the graphical improvements is an understatement:

Minimum:
OS: Microsoft Windows 7/8 (8.1)/10
Processor: Intel Core i3 (2.9 GHz) or AMD equivalent
Memory: 4 GB RAM
Graphics: Dx9 compliant video card with 1 GB VRAM (Nvidia GeForce 460 or AMD Radeo 5670)
DirectX: Version 9.0c
Storage: 20 GB available space

Recommended:
OS: Microsoft Windows 7/8 (8.1)/10
Processor: Intel Core i5 (3.4 GHz) or AMD equivalent
Memory: 8 GB RAM
Graphics: Dx11 compliant video card with 2 GB RAM (Nvidia GeForce 660 Ti or AMD Radeon R9 270)
DirectX: Version 9.0c
Storage 20 GB available space

While I am normally hesitant to pre-order games, I highly recommend pre-ordering Vanquish. It’s a great game, and you actually save money if you own Bayonetta on PC. Speaking of Bayonetta, the PC version demonstrates that PlatinumGames has almost perfected the art of porting Xbox 360 games to the PC, which means the PC version of Vanquish might just be the definitive version.

All you have to do to get my attention is talk about video games, technology, anime, and/or Dungeons & Dragons - also people in spandex fighting rubber suited monsters.

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.
