Suikoden III

Suikoden III, the third installment of the Suikoden series, will be made available for purchase from the Playstation Network this week. Suikoden III was originally released in Japan and America all the way back in 2002, and will now be placed on the Playstation Store on Tuesday, June 23.

Suikoden III was incredibly well received on its release, with JRPG fans holding the series in the highest regard. It took place about 16 years after the events of Suikoden II, and was the first title in the series with a story that followed multiple protagonists, rather than just one. Despite a petition from fans begging for a European release, Konami never released Suikoden III in PAL territories. This was supposedly due to problems with translating the game into the necessary languages.

Suikoden III’s predecessors, Suikoden and Suikoden II, were released on the Playstation store last year in North America, and earlier this year in February Sony quietly released it on the European store. The releases came after fans of the series had been begging developer Konami to make the games available on modern consoles. Back in April last year, hopes were high when Shuikoden II received an ESRB rating, indicating that the game was due to see the light of day once more. And after 8 months of silence, Sony finally announced Suikoden and Suikoden II were both on their way to the Playstation store, with both available on the Playstation Vita and Suikoden II available on the PS3.

Suikoden III remained unmentioned. But fast forward to April this year, when Suikoden III was made a Playstation Classic on the European Playstation Store. Fans got their hopes up again, and this time they won’t be disappointed. Suikoden III will be made available for digital purchase from the Playstation Store as of Tuesday under the Playstation 2 Classics section.

Battle Pass for Crash Team Rumble is not necessary to unlock new characters; the upcoming closed beta

The competitive multiplayer spinoff of Crash Team Rumble, which will be available on both the PlayStation 5 and PlayStation 4, will debut on June 20. A closed beta for the game will be held in the coming weeks, and the good news that character unlocks won’t be dependent on Battle Pass progress was just revealed.

Publisher Activision made its intentions very clear in a lengthy blog post, writing, “New heroes and powers will be unlocked through in-game challenges rather than being connected to the Battle Pass because we want every player to have a balanced experience while enjoying the N. Sane fun that Crash Team Rumble has to offer.” “For those who wish to get a WUMP on the season’s newest looks, Battle Passes will solely reward cosmetic goods; however, cosmetics will still be earnable through participation in seasonal events.”

Those who preorder the platformer/battle royale mix can take part in a limited beta between April 20 and 24. For those who want to jump right in, online matches against other players and practice matches versus AI bots will be offered.

How does Crash Team Rumble strike you? Will you participate in the closed beta test?

Indie Not on PlayStation Wins BAFTA Game of the Year, Beating PS5, PS4’s Greatest Hits

God of War Ragnarok and Elden Ring were both beaten out for the British Academy of Film and Television Arts (BAFTA) award for Best Game by a tiny little independent title called Vampire Survivors, which isn’t even accessible on PlayStation systems. Do you really believe that?

Putting all lightheartedness aside, Vampire Survivors was something of a phenomenon in 2022, and you would have to be living under a rock (or live offline) to have missed it. It burst into prominence and eventually became a favorite among industry insiders. A fiendishly addictive fundamental gameplay loop hides beneath a deceptively simple exterior, earning developer Luca Galante, aka Poncle, this year’s BAFTA for Game Design as well as another honor.

There hasn’t been any news of the mega-hit coming to PlayStation as of yet, so there’s probably some sort of exclusivity agreement in place or anything else blocking it. Perhaps one day we will be granted access to it, but until then, console yourself with one of the numerous high-end games on our preferred platform, such as The Last of Us, which won Best Game back in 2014.

In slightly related news, Shuhei Yoshida, a PlayStation legend, received a BAFTA Fellowship, the highest honor bestowed by the organization.

What do you think about the Vampire Survivors’ victory—do you believe it was well-deserved or totally absurd?

While we felt Crusader Kings 3: Console Edition was fantastic when it was launched on the PS5 last year, we were only able to play the base game. We are incredibly grateful that the great Royal Court extension will be coming to consoles. This is a regal proclamation that we could not be more delighted to make.

It’s pretty difficult to switch back after you’ve experienced the conveniences and enhancements that Royal Court offers to the well-stocked table, as anyone who has played Crusader Kings 3 on PC knows. It’s not just for show; players will be able to use trophies and priceless pieces of art to adorn their throne room, which adds a minor RPG system to an already magnificently complex adventure.

If you haven’t already and like the basic Crusader King’s experience, we highly encourage you to give Royal Court a try. This expansion is the ideal reason to jump back in for another round of backroom maneuvering. Are you going to create your own royal court?
