Lost Souls Aside looks to be a healthy combination of RPG fantasy worlds from games like Final Fantasy XV and the high octane action of games like Devil May Cry and Ninja Gaiden.

In our continued effort to keep you informed about the latest and greatest upcoming video games - today we’re sharing everything we know about this incredibly ambitious indie game.

The game was revealed in 2016 but updates on its development progress have been dead quiet for the last two years until now. A new gameplay trailer just dropped on the developer’s YouTube channel earlier this week reigniting interest in the game.

Lost Souls Aside is coming to PS4, PS5, and PC… sometime… eventually.

Take a look and tell us what you think.

Lost Soul Aside Explained

We are familiar with Nintendo’s not-so-secret battle with Joy-Con drift and the lawsuits that ensued but did you know Microsoft and Sony are also both facing class-action lawsuits for drifting analog sticks?

A quick search on the internet is all it takes to find a number of DIY videos for fixing a drifting PS5 DualSense or Xbox Series X controller but why are so many controllers starting to drift?

Well, it turns out there a few really good reasons that explain why we are starting to see every controller eventually become afflicted by the dreaded drift. For starters pretty much every analog stick, even across the big three console manufactures, is made by the same company.

However, it doesn’t stop there. Today we’re breaking down all the causes of drift and you might even learn a thing or two about how your favorite controller works.

It’s the end of an era as Overwatch director and public-facing creative lead Jeff Kaplan steps down from his position to move onto something new.

From the Overwatch League to Blizzcon announcements, and dev diaries Kaplan has certainly been a key figure in developing Overwatch as well as providing a face for fans to associate the development team with. It will be interesting to see what happens with Overwatch and  Overwatch 2 from here. Farwell dude and best of luck on whatever's next.

In other news; Amazon has canceled their Lord of the Rings MMO as a result of licensing issues, rumors around a Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic remake were confirmed true by 'friend of the show' Jason Schreier, there are more rumors around the location of Grand Theft Auto 6, and CD Projekt Red made a lot of money from the sales of Cyberpunk 2077.

This week's 5-Second Review takes a serious twist and the Coming Soon section has at least two games you probably won’t want to miss. Thanks for watching and have a great weekend!

PlayStation boss Jim Ryan announced earlier this week that Sony has officially decided to overturn their decision to end support for the PS3 and PS Vita PlayStation Stores. While it’s a huge win for game historians and fans of old games alike there still seems to be a rising tide of unrest among the PlayStation nation.

Sony was quick to adopt a $70 dollar price tag for new games, it was also revealed recently that they rejected a proposal for Days Gone 2, and have been shuttering their smaller studios and dumping resources into less risky projects like an Uncharted sequel and another Last of Us Remake.

Sony was undoubtedly the leading console manufacturing coming into the new console generation and that probably won’t change for a while but there might be something to some of the criticisms they have been facing lately.

Despite Cyberpunk 2077 having an incredibly rough launch CD Projekt Red has continued to support the game with updates and hotfixes. Now Chief Executive Adam Kicinski has gone on record to say CDPR plans to support Cyberpunk 2077 for many years to come. Not a complete surprise but nice to hear and hopefully, they eventually land on their feet in the same way No Man’s Sky did.

In other news, Twitch is having a huge bot problem with many top streamers like xqc, AdinRoss, and Sodapoppin losing millions of fake followers after Twitch HQ hit the purge button.

Sony just invested 200 million dollars into Epic as part of a billion-dollar round of funding for the company to build a Player One like metaverse.

There is a new PS5 update that brings a ton of cool new features including external hard drive support and Ubisoft is ending support for a bunch of classic games like Assasins Creed II and Rainbow Six Vegas. 

This week’s 5-Second Review is on Pac-Man 99 and the coming soon section will surely bring glory to mankind. Thanks for watching everyone and have a great weekend!

Nintendo hosted their Indie World Showcase this week so we put together a quick video highlighting all our favorite games and announcements.

GestuFumaDen: Undying Moon, Olli Olli World, Cris Tales, and TMNT: Shredders Revenge are looking pretty great just to name a few.

We hope you like these little event summaries. Thanks for watching and we’ll see you in the comments.

Nintendo Indie Showcase Recap

News recently dropped that Bend Studio would not be working on the next Days Gone and fans of the series are not happy. 

Basically, a new Bloomberg report whipped the form warriors and fanboys into a frenzy when it revealed a number of details about Sony’s approach to greenlighting only the biggest and least risky AAA games.

New details were revealed about an original Last of Us Remake currently in production, secret studios, an exodus of veteran devs, and even the shuttering and reshuffling of Sony’s smaller Japanese developers.

However, what seems to be upsetting fans the most is the revelation that Sony turned down a pitch for Days Gone 2 due to the mixed critical reception of the first Days Gone.

To fan the flames a little more an Ex-Sony Bend developer and Days Gone game director Jeff Ross appeared on David Jaffe’s YouTube channel to discuss some of the details around the Bloomberg article.

While Days Gone 2 seemed like a pretty sure-fire bet to fans AAA cost millions of dollars and so there are arguably some legitimate fiscal reasons why Sony wouldn’t want to risk swinging and “missing” a second time.

However, the first Days Gone is a bit of a fan favorite, and if it doesn’t make the cut then what else is Sony willing to leave behind in the new console generation.

The ESA, the organizer behind E3, confirmed earlier this year that there would be an all-digital E3 event for 2021 but now there is a confirmed list of game makers and publishers who will be participating.

Microsoft (Xbox/Bethesda), Nintendo, Ubisoft, Capcom, Take-Two, Warner Bros., and even Konami are signed up to participate in E3 2021.

We’re still not sure exactly what to expect other than a collection of presentations that might be streamed over the course of a week or all together but regardless, E3 lives to see another year.

In other news, the FBI is investigating CS:GO match-fixing, Balan Wonderworld sales paint a worse picture than its reviews, Monster Hunter Rise already sold over 5 million copies, and a brilliant engineer made a humongous Switch.

This week’s 5-Second Review is on Outriders and we’ve got a short ‘Coming Soon’ section but it has a blast from the past that might surprise you.

Thanks for watching and have a great weekend.

Two weeks ago Xbox and GamesRadar hosted two separate video game showcases packed with announcements, updates, and new game trailers. The problem is GamesRadar’s Future Games Spring Showcase was almost two hours long and ID@Xbox showcase was a three-hour live stream.

Who has got the time right?

Well… I guess we do because we went through both shows and hand-picked out a few highlights that might interest you. On the Future Games Showcase side there were games like Sifu, Savior, Arctic Awakening. Meanwhile, ID@Xbox showed off The Wild at Heart, Nobody Saves the World, and Death’s Door.

We tried to pack everything into a short video so if there was a game at one of the events that you liked and we didn’t mention it feel free to share in the comments.

Thanks for watching and be sure to let us know if you like hearing about these types of games or recaps of larger events.

Call of Duty Warzone players are becoming increasingly more upset as a number of bugs, glitches, and rampant cheating are still impacting the game a year after launch.

One player took to Reddit and unified the player base by suggesting everyone change their custom tag to [FIXWZ]. The idea has become a growing movement and there are also a number of players posting on social media with the hashtag #FixWarzone.

With Season 3 for Warzone coming at the end of the month, it’s unlikely Activision or Raven Software will react to or even officially comment on the #FixWarzone grievances.

With other games like Outriders hitting their stride in popularity, it might not be the best time to lose players. Anyways, it would be cool to see a unified Call of Duty player base player make an impact when it comes to Activision’s executive decision-making around pacing for new content versus taking some time to fix the game up.

The tale of Cyberpunk 2077 continues its legacy as CD Projekt Red continues to update and fix the game. The Polish studio’s approach to PR and media announcements over the last year has been a whirlwind of twists and turns for sure and this latest bit of news is no exception.

A thirty-minute video detailing CDPR’s approach to the Cyberpunk 2077 multiplayer project and online components of other games like the Witcher was released this week. It seems like an honest attempt to recontextualize people’s expectations but it’s also still a bit confusing. Tune in to find out more.

In other news; Balan Wonderworld is getting a hefty amount of suspicious reviews, Square Enix is going to start charging their most loyal fans for new Avengers cosmetics, No Man’s Sky continues to be an incredible story of perseverance, and a huge cheating ring was busted in China. 

There’s an extended 5-Second Review of Balan Wonderworld today and the Coming Soon segment is pact with Oddworld, Star Wars, and a game about... blinking?

Thanks for watching everyone and have a great weekend!

The PlayStation Store is officially being removed from the PlayStation 3, PlayStation Vita, and PlayStation Portable starting July 2nd.

Last week early reports and rumors started swirling that Sony would pull the plug in the coming months but it wasn't confirmed until yesterday when the PlayStation.com support webpage was updated with an FAQ regarding the removal.

Today we're going through all the documentation to tell you what you need to know about which games will still be available and how.

Monster Hunter Rise is finally out and the reviews are in! People like it a whole lot… but could Monster Hunter Rise be the best Monster Hunter game of all time? That answer might allude for a few years yet to come but in the meantime, we’re aggregating quotes from a number of reviews and taking a look at Capcom’s earning projections to see if it has a chance.

Also in the news this week, Bloomberg has confirmed from an inside source that the Switch Pro will use a new Nvidia chip which means the use of DLSS is even more likely. If you need a good explanation about how an upgraded Switch could use DLSS to make games look and run better we made a video about it a little while back - https://youtu.be/txXE3cyCi2U

Sony is shutting down the digital stores for the PS3, PSP, and the PS Vita. A number of companies including Microsoft are looking to buy Discord to the tune of about $10 billion dollars, and lastly, ex-Blizzard devs have raised almost $10 million dollars to make a new RTS game.

There are some cool-looking titles in the “Comming Soon” section this week and while Monster Hunter Rise may take up quite a bit of your time, Brian’s 5-Second Review of it will not.

Thanks for watching everyone and have a great weekend.

The sequel to the Legend of Zelda Breath of the Wild still feels like it could be a little ways off. While many of us wait and count the days until Nintendo releases any new information on BotW 2 a group of modders has taken matters into their own hands.

Over 50 modders have banded together to bring an unofficial DLC Expansion level mod to the original Breath of the Wild. It’s packed with new systems for shopping and crafting, new NPCs, new areas, new animals, new enemies, new bosses, new areas, and of course lots of new weapons and gear.

It’s a really impressive mod so we wanted to share what we knew about it with you. Do you like game mods or do you prefer to just play the official versions of games? Maybe you have a favorite mod of all time? Let us know in the comments!

Activision-Blizzard is at it again laying off somewhere between 50 and 190 people. Reportedly the company shuttered portions of its esports division in a shift to move away from in-person events to focus more on exclusive online events. Overwatch League and the Call of Duty League were likely affected as well as other games esports departments, like Hearthstone.

Don’t worry though. Since Activision-Blizzard’s stock is way up, CEO Bobby Kotick is about to get a huge payout to the tune of $200 million bucks.

In other news, Game Pass just added 20 Bethesda games to its roster and Xbox just announced yet another wave of Game Pass games including a day one release for Outriders.

Not to be completely outdone, Sony is also releasing a wave of free games through their Play at Home program. Titles include Abzu, Enter the Gungeon, Ratchet & Clank, and Horizon Zero Dawn Complete Edition.

GTA Online has notoriously had rough load times and finally, one player had enough and set out to fix the issue themself. After extensive research, Tost actually managed to reduce load times by 70%. The fix was so effective that Rockstar incorporated it into the official version of the game and rewarded Tost with $10,000 dollars.

Jade Raymond a legendary developer who was spearheading Google’s internal games studios left the company after the conglomerate shutdown all their plans for game making.  She was previously known for her work developing franchises like Assasins Creed and Watchdogs while at Ubisoft and then moving onto EA to build Motive. It was certainly a loss for Google, but now Raymond is teaming up with Sony to build a new game studio called Haven Entertainment.

After the news, stick around for a 5-Second Review of Loop Hero and a Coming Soon section that doesn’t quit. Let’s go Monster Hunter: Rise! Thanks for watching and have a great weekend.

Biomutant is an upcoming third-person action RPG that’s combining elements from your favorite games. The combat evokes Devil May Cry, the exploration is open-world like Breath of the Wild, and there’s a ton of crafting and customization as well.

It’s pretty ambitious for a new studio but the developer, Experiment 101, is packing some veteran talent with ex-Avalanche Studios devs who worked on games like Just Cause and Mad Max. 

When Biomutant was delayed back in 2019 and there were no updates for a while, fans started to assume it was canceled. However, a new gameplay trailer appeared over the summer last year and a new release date was confirmed by THQ Nordic in January.

Biomutant will release on May 25th of 2021 and while we're not sure yet how it will be it’s certainly something worth keeping an eye on.

Today’s video is a little different from what we have done in the past so if you liked this spotlight on an upcoming game and you’d like us to find some more games to spotlight in the future, be sure to let us know in the comments!

One of the most overlooked aspects of game design is the way doors work in any given video game. Recently an indie developer kicked off a large Twitter discussion about how many game developers have to put a lot of effort into making doors work right in games.

Through the discourse, an old blog by Liz England called “The Door Problem” was evoked and it was also revealed that many AAA games like Assassin’s Creed avoided incorporating dynamic doors for multiple games.

Naughty Dog, Remedy, and Obsidian all jumped in to break down or commiserate just how much work it is to make a video game door work the way you want it to.

In today’s video were pulling some highlights from the original Twitter, thread and The Door Problem Blog to explain why video game doors are actually the worst.

Fifa 2021 fans may have uncovered a Fifa Ultimate Team card selling conspiracy which alleges an EA employee was selling icon cards for thousands of dollars. EA is currently investigating and says they are taking the matter seriously but the company is also under multiple investigations and litigation for their use of loot boxes in games.

In other news, Rust player morn the loss of a number of servers that were destroyed in a building fire, Naughty Dog is staffing up rapidly for a new project, Roblox is worth billions, and there’s going to be an all-new retro Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles game called Shredder’s Revenge.

This week’s 5-Second review asks a big question about Switch ports and the Coming Soon section has a few familiar faces.

How Boss Fights Became a Thing

Xbox and Bethesda have been officially united with one of the biggest acquisitions the videogame industry has ever seen… but now what? Are we any step closer to knowing which games will be Xbox exclusives and which might still come to other platforms if any? 

Xbox Game Studios now has 23 studios including the makers of Starfield, Doom, Fallout, Edler Scrolls, Wolfenstein, and Dishonored so what games can we expect to come out in the future?

Well, it might be a while before any of the Bethesda Studios develop a game under the Xbox umbrella that wasn’t already announced -- but there is hope that maybe one or two games from the wider Xbox Game Studios stable could be announced and released this year.

Today we are tracking what every Xbox and Bethesda developer is working on so we can speculate about what games might be coming out next!

Report: Switch Pro coming this year

The Switch Pro rumor mill is spinning up again with a new report from Bloomberg that claims the long-awaited device will hit shelves during this year's holiday season.

According to Bloomberg's sources, the new and improved Switch will sport a seven-inch OLED screen produced by Samsung and be able to upscale games to 4K when docked.

However, many fans were disappointed to find that the newer and bigger screen is only clocking in at a resolution of 720p. Today, we are going to talk about how that's not necessarily a bad thing and how Nvidia's DLSS technology could take the new Switch all the way to 4K and beyond.
