Welcome to the farm - Story of Seasons: Pioneers of Olive Town first impressionsI love farming games. They’re a time sink, and by nature can become somewhat repetitive, but when you’re in the mood to plant some crops, nothing compares to the Bokujou Monogatari series. Since playing the remake of Friends of Mineral Town last year, I’ve been craving something new, and before I knew it, I found myself stumbling into Olive Town ready to pick up my hoe and water some turnips. The setup for the game is fairly traditional. Your grandpa has died and would you believe it, he’s left you a farm! After some pretty extensive customisation choices, at least for...

The PlayStation Store will no longer be offering movie and TV purchases/rentalsIt seems the subscription service model is edging PlayStation out of the TV and movie online rental market. After August 31, 2021, you will no longer be able to purchase TV seasons or movies, nor will you be able to rent movies on the PlayStation Store. This change is due to Sony seeing "tremendous growth" when it comes to both ad-based and subscription-based streaming services. If you've purchased any media through the PlayStation Store in the past, you'll still be able to watch it on your PlayStation 4 or 5 and still access it after the cutoff date....

Announced almost two years ago, the latest game from the Dark Souls developer hasn't had much information or footage given since its reveal. It seems that Bandai Namco was going to put out a new trailer, though, as Bloomberg's Jason Schreier stated that there was "strong evidence" that they would be showing the game off soon, but it seems that soon wasn't soon enough.

Epic Games is compensating Fortnite and Rocket League players that bought random loot boxesBack in the earlier days of Fortnite, the game made its money off of loot boxes that had random items within. As the concept of loot boxes began to draw ire, from both players and governments worldwide, Epic Games removed the feature and replaced it with a rotating storefront. Similarly, when Rocket League was still owned by Psyonix, it too used the loot box formula in order to earn extra money from gamers gambling on item drops. Rocket League also eventually phased that feature out, and just like Fortnite, it now operates on a rotating storefront with set items available...

What is your favorite video game commercial?For a lot of us, what makes or breaks our decision to purchase a video game is usually a gameplay trailer.

Yet, when many of us were younger, in the days before the internet was rife with content from publishers, or even limited to official websites with just a smattering of screenshots, the best way to gauge whether or not a game would be good was through its commercials.

Unofficial patches for The Last of Us Remastered fix bugs, reduce load times on hacked PS4 systemsHackers do what Naughty Dog don't? GitHub user Illusion0001 has posted blog entries that detail the process on two unofficial patches that they've released for The Last of Us Remastered. The first one involves speeding up load times for the game. They were able to implement this by taking a look at the Uncharted Nathan Drake Collection and seeing that the game uses adaptive sync, in order to unlock the framerate during loading times, which in turn leads to the game loading much faster. By finding where the relevant data was, Illusion0001 was able to do the same for The...
