Trained Velociraptors, genetically modified dinosaurs and Chris Pratt doing Chris Pratt things. The latest Jurassic World trailer sure doesn’t hold back on the action.

But what does this trailer tell us about the latest instalment in the Jurassic Park franchise? Well, we know that the slightly sinister folks running the show over there are doing some real funky stuff with their dinosaurs. We’ve got Chris Pratt teaching a group of the world’s deadliest hunters to run around him in formation while he rides off on his motorbike like a cool guy. There’s a Mosasaur swimming around eating shark bits, and, most importantly, we get our first real shots of what looks to be Jurassic World’s main dinosaur nasty: the Indominus Rex.

Pretty cool name, right? So cool I thought I should probably have a look and see what it means. Turns out Indominus Rex means ‘untameable king’, or queen in this case. Don’t worry though slightly sinister dinosaur corporation, I’m sure you’ll be able to keep her under control. Whoops. Anyway, when compared to the most famous of Jurassic Park’s antagonists, the Tyrannosaurus Rex, or ‘tyrant lizard’, it’s clear that our new friend Ms Indominus is ramping up the fear factor, in name and in scale.

It’s been a long time since my childhood love of dinosaurs has shown its face in my adult life. So long, in fact, that I often forget it existed. I don’t know what it is, but something about this trailer makes me want to go home, find, and flick through my old dinosaur encyclopaedia. At its very best, Jurassic World could re-ignite my passion for dinosaurs, making me drop out of university to fulfil my childhood dream of becoming a palaeontologist. Or, failing that, at the very least, I hope that Jurassic World can remind me of why it was I found dinosaurs so damn cool all those years ago. And I don’t think I’m alone in that. Let’s take a merry trip back to childhood together, friends! See you all on June 11th.

Hi folks, I'm Tom. I spend most of my time ignoring university deadlines, eating biscuits and making sarcastic remarks about the state of the video games industry. Sometimes I write about these things. Mostly its bad.

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.
