Although exciting at the time, the computer games of yesteryear look completely dull compared to the incredible experiences on offer today. We are now in the 4th generation (or 5th depending on who you talk to) of 3D gaming and the gameplay, sound, and quality of graphics are truly mind blowing. Gone is the reliance on gimmicks and simple objectives, making way for immersive gameplay and complex titles with plenty of replay value.

Despite the developments seen on PC and consoles, one of the most lucrative and exciting areas for game developers is actually found on smaller screens. The mobile revolution has turned mobile phones into fully functioning personal computers, complete with a graphics card, processors and dedicated RAM to make high-quality gaming completely portable.

Thanks to unprecedented internet connectivity via 3 and now 4G, gamers don’t have to be connected to Wi-Fi to get their fix. Although the screens are smaller, cutting edge technology allows for frankly astonishing graphics and big titles that are able to take advantage of superior hardware. The latest Apple and Android devices make older computers look silly, with insane computing power and improved battery life making extended gameplay possible.

From FIFA to Fallout, mobile games have opened up a whole new revenue stream to game developers and allowed gamers to get their fix no matter where they are. The beauty of games that are constantly accessing the internet, often to save on phone storage space, is that they can become extremely flexible. Console games are soon outdated, with the next chapter in the title or a version with improved graphics usually replacing the original title. Mobile games, however, can be updated with new content, levels, characters or even graphics, meaning developers can keep making money from ancient games. Just look at Candy Crush!

One huge benefactor of the massive increase in mobile gamers is the gambling industry. Before the days of smartphones or even home computers, casinos relied on visitors coming to them to enjoy poker, blackjack, roulette or slot machines. Now, online casino operators such as 888casino offer 24/7 access over the internet, taking casino gaming straight to their customers. The games are certainly engaging, with high-quality 3D virtual casino environments and even live casino, featuring living, breathing real dealers who are live streaming straight to the gambler’s phone or device as well as fantastic slot games and other exciting casino games.

Online slot gaming works particularly well on mobile. Don’t expect the boring, 3 reel slots you’d expect in a dusty old casino, however, as the majority of virtual slot games are engaging, exciting player experiences. Online casino providers have become a market leader with its online slot offering, with tons of high-quality casino games with familiar themes, great graphics, and huge jackpots.

Mobile gaming will certainly improve as more powerful phones are developed. Game studios are constantly looking for new ways to thrill players and keep them coming back for more and developments like virtual reality for mobile phones will certainly become even more mainstream over the next few years. The future of mobile gaming is certainly bright.

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.
