Rockstar rumored to be chasing cross-play for Red Dead Redemption 2
Rockstar has always been that company to listen to the fans and give them exactly what they want. Grand Theft Auto V is a prime example of this. With free DLC’s, free online play, new content every couple months, and extremely unique storylines. It seems like Rockstar knows how to give fans a well-rounded perfect game. Which is also why Red Dead Redemption 2 seems to be one of the most hotly anticipated upcoming titles. A tip from a “very reputable source” from Rockstar suggests the company is actively pursuing cross-play across Xbox and Playstation 4 for Red Dead Redemption 2. Yep, you read that correctly. Rockstar was rumored to have pushed back the release date of Red Dead Redemption 2 because they want the game to feature cross play. For those of you that don’t know, Sony has been fighting against cross-play by using almost every excuse in the book.
In other games, like Rocket League and Minecraft, Microsoft and Nintendo have worked together, giving gamers the ability to play together regardless of their platform preference. Sony though seems to be fighting against it by dragging their feet. According to the VP of publishing for Psyonix, the company that develops Rocket League, they’ve been in constant communication with Sony to try to get them on board with cross-play. In an interview with Engadget, Jeremy Dunham had this to say “There have been slight variations on how it’s been presented to us, but essentially it’s the same answer,” he told Engadget. “It’s, ‘Not right now” or, ‘It’s something we’ll consider.’ That’s paraphrasing, but there hasn’t been any movement.”
So the question then becomes, Can Rockstar be the company to finally get Sony into cross-play? Rockstar has had a close relationship to the company for many years. From Grand Theft Auto to Bully, and now the Red Dead series. Sony is even playing for Red Dead 2 to have a “timed-exclusive” DLC. Rockstar has decided to push back the release of the game from Holiday 2017 to Spring of 2018. While we know that games are more likely to get pushed back these days, Could the reason be because Rockstar is pushing Sony for cross-play? The news of Red Dead Redemption 2 being the first game to support cross-play with Xbox and Playstation 4 could be game changing. Something that I hope can be worked out. How awesome would that be?
Releasing Spring of 2018
Only time will tell but it seems like the other companies have started the journey into the cross-play realm. Bringing gamers from all different platforms together to share experiences. Do you think Sony needs to join the cross-play club?

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.

Shift Up unveils the intriguing details behind the physical packaging of Stellar Blade for the PS5
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.
