It’s interesting how times fly for some games. People often don’t notice that the games they love ended up becoming staples in the industry. As such, yesterday was Rocket league’s second birthday, with over 33 million registered users. This has become everyone’s favorite sports game about cars that can fly with rockets. Surely Psyonix loves how well versed into the gaming industry this game is. And how much of a popular eSport has become.

Well, now the development team decided to talk about their next step that comes with a port to the Nintendo Switch, during a press conference. Psyonix’s VP of Publishing Jeremy Dunham had this to say:

“Nintendo has been very open with giving us whatever resources that we need, answering any questions that we have, allowing us to do cross-network play, which is a big deal and very important to us and they had no problem with that at all. That was the very first question I asked them. I said: ‘If we are going to commit to doing this, would you guys allow us to do cross-platform?’ And they told me that if it is important to us, then we will do cross-platform. There wasn’t even any hesitation.”

And while the future looks bright for the game. There were a few interesting bits to talk about when addressing the game’s merchandise. “We have been a bit critical of our own ability to keep up with merchandise requests,” says Dunham. “There are a number of types of things that people have asked us for that we just don’t make, or aren’t available. So we are trying to find the right partners to team up with make those things. For us, we are not looking at it as a major revenue stream. It’s more a way to let the fans get access to things that they like about Rocket League.”

People are starting to discuss the entry towards Rocket League 2 as well, merchandising and other things once the console market has their piece of Rocket Cars. However, Psyonix thinks differently about this and states that: “We look at Rocket League as a platform, and not as a franchise for us to make very different versions of. Rocket League is a game that, as it expands, it is still the same game. It is not Rocket League Karts or Rocket League RPG. We don’t want to exploit the brand. We want to reward the players, that’s how we look at it.” Dunham also added that if they were going to make a new game. They would do something new and not a sequel which will be its own separate thing.

It’s good to see how much Psyonix has evolved since the day they made Rocket League readily available on Steam. It’s one of the most popular games in the market and it certainly has grown in the hearts of so many gamers. What lies ahead in the future of Psyonix? Well, time will tell. I certainly hope their new ideas turn out to be equally amazing things

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.
