Ghost Of Yōtei Has New Director Modes Inspired By Miike And Watanabe And Lots, Lots More
Ghost Of Yōtei Has New Director Modes Inspired By Miike And Watanabe And Lots, Lots More Developer Sucker Punch Productions’ Nate Fox and Jason Connell, co-directors of Ghost of Yōtei, appeared in voice today for an 18-minute presentation detailing a bit of the game’s story and new features ahead of its release on PlayStation 5 on October 2. In Ghost of Yōtei, players control Atsu, who the citizens of Ezo (which contains Mount Yōtei) seee as the Onryō, a ghost hellbent on revenge. The rumors circulating around her are not entirely untrue, as she is out for revenge and will stop at nothing to achieve it. Atsu’s family was slaughtered by the Yōtei Six, a group that she has sworn to kill one by one. After her family is killed, Atsu left Ezo, but has returned 16 years later fully prepared to act out her plan of vengeance.   The showcase for the game shows that, when returning to Atsu's childhood home, players can push a button to instantly travel back in time to when Atsu was a child to gain a better understanding of her past and her family. It's unclear where this ability is limited to, but the technology looks impressive. As players explore the world and get into trouble, they will collect cards that represent clues and potential locations to explore. When you interrogate a character after defeating them, you will apparently get a choice of cards. Some cards will push you towards interesting places with upgrades. Others will show you where to get into fights. The card system is how you will keep track of various missions. Also, as you fight on your path to take down the Yōtei Six, your reputation will grow, as will your bounty, making Atsu more susceptible to random passerby trying to start trouble. Atsu can also chase bounties herself, which will be part of the card collection system. In terms of exploration, Sucker Punch showed Atsu sliding down a hill, a new ability, and finding an Altar of Reflection, which gives her access to new abilities. You can buy maps to important locations from cartographers, but taking some inspiration from Zelda: Breath of the Wild, Atsu can also look through a spyglass in the distance and mark interesting locations players want to explore without ever entering a menu. As was the case in Tsushima, the wind will guide you to your new destination, but Fox and Connell point out that you can now guide your horse through paths of flowers to ride faster. Fox and Connell also made frequent points that the game is designed to be taken at whatever pace players want. Along with story missions and exploration, Atsu was briefly shown playing a game with coins sliding across a table and cutting down bamboo, just as Jin Sakai did in Ghost of Tsushima. When you’re not riding your horse and playing games, Atsu gets into fights and uses a broader range of weapons than Jin. She can use a katana, kusarigama, ōdachi, dual swords, or spear. She also has access to bows and arrows, muskets, kunai, bombs, and blinding powder. Her arsenal is deep. In one sequence shown, Atsu grabbed an enemy from a distance using a kusarigama to pull them close and kill them. Then she threw a spear at an enemy from a distance before closing in with dual swords to the rest of the group. She has no qualms with using whatever is necessary to win a fight. We also saw a stealth sequence where Atsu took out a collection of three enemies at high speed without alerting anyone, much like Batman was able to do in Arkham Knight. Weapons can be changed mid-combat, and it will apparently be necessary for each fight to move between weapons. We also learned at least a little more about animal companions. Atsu has a wolf with her, or can choose to have a wolf with her, and we saw a scene where the wolf helped her take down an enemy very quickly. In the open world, Atsu can set up camps to rest and cook food, but it will also make various characters and peddlers show up. The implication from the presentation is Atsu can set up camp and invite specific peddlers to join her where she can buy various tools, weapons, clothes. Sucker Punch showed off tons of various clothes options and combinations. These various character-based shops will let you know when they have new inventory. Two music tracks from the game from composer Toma Otowa are apparently immediately available on various streaming services. The soundtrack is using Eastern instrumentation with Western flavors to hopefully craft something unique and authentic. The game, at launch, will be playable in Japanese with English subtitles, and Sucker Punch has once again partnered with famed Japanese film director Akira Kurosawa’s estate for Kurosawa mode. This mode allows you to play the game in black and white, adds film grain and audio effects and more. But Kurosawa isn’t the only director Sucker Punch is working with. Miike mode, inspired by director  Takashi Miike (13 Assassins, Ichi the Killer), zooms the camera in closer and adds more blood and mud. Watanabe mode, inspired by director  Shin'ichirô Watanabe (Samaurai Champloo, Cowboy Bobop) lets players explore while listening to lo-fi beats that have been curated by Watanabe. Photo mode is also making a return, which is good news as it produced some of the most impressive photo mode images of the previous generation of consoles. One photo during the segment showed Atsu with a bear. Maybe it’s another friendly animal partner? Ghost of Yōtei is coming to PlayStation 5 on October 2. So far? It looks fantastic.

If Bethesda is working on new Fallout games, I hope we get to leave the United States
If Bethesda is working on new Fallout games, I hope we get to leave the United States An interesting report earlier this week claimed that Bethesda was hard at work on multiple Fallout projects, with even supposed rumors of a Fallout New Vegas sequel, among other things, from remasters to entirely new games. And while Microsoft might be in a position to push these projects, considering the success of the Fallout TV show and the lack of a new game since the ill-fated Fallout 76, the report from VGC journalist Jordan Middler speaking on an episode of the Friends Per Second podcast is just that, a report, and we always tilt towards reminding people to take these with a grain of salt. Cancellations can happen, after all. But if Bethesda is to continue on with the series, a part of me hopes someone on the team is brave enough to take us away from the United States and show us how the fallout affected other parts of the world at the time and give us a truly worldwide experience. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rahBCfRdVac&ab_channel=TeamFOLON You only need to look at Fallout London, a fan-made Fallout game massive in scope that showed us a different take on the apocalyptic nightmare, to get an idea of how the series could evolve its world and narrative by giving us a different part of the world to experience in the Fallout formula. Heck, I would love for Bethesda to work with the team that made Fallout London to tweak it up, add some areas, and ship it as its own game and make it canon. But I know I'm dreaming too big there. What I'm trying to get at is, I really do hope we see a wider score for a Fallout game somewhere different in the future. Heck, even take us up north to Canada. Least that would be an interesting area to explore with the frosty wilderness and the potential for a mutated moose. No matter what happens. I am all here for more of these games, so long as there are a few different takes so things don't become too stale in the Fallout formula.

EA FC 26 Ultimate Edition leaks hint at Swedish Icon as Cover Star
EA FC 26 Ultimate Edition leaks hint at Swedish Icon as Cover Star Swedish superstar Zlatan Ibrahimovic is all set to don the covers of EA FC 26 Ultimate Edition if the latest leaks are to be believed. EA Sports is likely going to make the official reveal later this month (based on history), but leaks and rumors have always been an active part of this community. If the new leak turns out to be true, it will be something quite different from EA Sports, especially compared to last year. However, Ibra as a cover athlete is undoubtedly going to be a special one for those who still go for hard copies of their favorite football games. EA FC 26 Ultimate Edition could feature Zlatan on the cover Zlatan Ibrahimovic is one of the most popular figures in the world of football. At his prime, the Swedish attacker tormented defenses all across Europe, and he has won plenty of trophies for his clubs. EA FC 26 will be the first time since last year that we will be able to have Ibra as a playable card, thanks to his rumored inclusion as a new Icon. Tonight's news practically confirms that the Swedish attacker is confirmed to be in the new game. While there's a slight chance for him to be a Hero card, I feel that he will become an Icon (at least that's what all rumors and leaks so far have suggested). https://twitter.com/Fut_scoreboard/status/1942609527800549610 If the latest leak turns out to be true, it will be the first time that the Swede will don the cover of an FC title. While his exploits were well-known during his playing days, Ibra was never the cover athlete for what used to be the FIFA series. Yes, we even had Jack Wilshere of all as a cover icon, but not the man who scored wherever he played. It's better late than never, and EA Sports seems to be on the path to pay tribute to Ibrahimovic's goal-scoring accolades over an illustrious career. Last year, we had a special Ultimate Edition cover featuring Jude Bellingham, Zinedine Zidane, David Beckham, and Aitana Bonmati. This year, EA Sports is definitely going down a more traditional route. Whether Zlatan gets his due share of recognition or not should be confirmed soon once the first official cover reveal takes place.

Do you expect to see Gen 10 revealed during July’s Pokémon Presents?
Do you expect to see Gen 10 revealed during July’s Pokémon Presents? It's July, which means the July 22 Pokémon Presents is fast approaching, where, for an unspecified amount of time (likely 30 minutes), we are expected to get a host of new information from various Pokémon projects that are either out or coming soon. Pokémon Legends Z-A is a given, as well as likely news for the new Pokémon TCG Pocket expansion and some new Pokémon Go details, alongside a sprinkling of the other Pokémon live service games from Pokémon Sleep and beyond. But there is one thing that is currently on the minds of every trainer across the world. Will we see the next generation of new Pokémon make an appearance during this event? https://twitter.com/pokemon_cojp/status/1927712715335712964?s=46&t=lKl0EfgBOrCgN4aPWj0k6Q Generation 10 is likely to be a Nintendo Switch 2 exclusive title when it eventually comes up, and although Pokémon Company is focusing most of its efforts onto Z-A ahead of its worldwide October 16 release date, maybe now is the perfect chance to at least show off a theme or the starters for the next big Pokémon release to start getting people excited. If it were to be revealed in any capacity, we likely would get something at the very end that showed a few brief teasers and nothing more, with a wider reveal likely planned for later in the year or early 2026 ahead of whatever release date the game would have. I personally don't expect to see it myself. It feels too soon, and it would make more sense to reveal it next year during Pokémon's 30th anniversary. But I've been proven wrong before. There were sprinklings of rumors about the next generation Pokémon title during the destructive leaks that occurred last year, but considering most of the leaks came from clout-chasing content creators and social media accounts, I won't be giving the information the time of day. I'll wait to see an announcement with my own eyes. But enough about that, do you expect to see Generation 10 revealed this year in any capacity? Or is it to remain a dream?
