IO Acknowledges Hitman Performance Issues On Switch 2, Promises Fixes Are Coming

Sat, 07/12/2025 - 02:11

IO has acknowledged the performance issues on Hitman: World of Assassination - Signature Edition that have mired its release as a Nintendo Switch 2 launch title.

As one of a few third-party releases that was supposed to showcase the new console's ability to run graphically intensive current-gen titles, the port has been criticized for its many technical issues. In our impressions, we noted that its uncapped frame rate resulted in "uneven" performance that "fluctuates wildly," surprisingly mitigated in handheld mode due to the display supporting built-in Variable Refresh Rate (VRR).

Speaking in a VGC interview, IO's franchise director Jonathan Lacaille has addressed these issues, saying, “The team is working on some of those performance issues right now, and they are addressing it over the summer." A specific date for when exactly these fixes will go live is not yet known.

Sea Of Thieves Is Getting Its Own Subscription Service

Sat, 07/12/2025 - 01:40

A long-requested feature is finally sailing to Sea of Thieves, but players will have to shell out some cash to take advantage of it. Custom servers, along with other unannounced "benefits," are included in a subscription service coming to Rare's live-service pirate game in early 2026. Developers from Rare made the announcement during a Community Direct video on Wednesday.

Sea of Thieves is dependent on emergent encounters with both computer-controlled enemies and real players, both of whom can engage in hostilities with players. With custom servers, players can create their own "private customisable sandbox" with adjustable options for loot and enemy spawns. Private servers can also run "Safer Seas Fleets," allowing players to invite their friends, free of beligerent randos. Rare has not stated how much this subscription model will cost.

Rare was one of the many studios hit by massive layoffs at Microsoft, which also resulted in the cancellation of the studio's project Everwild. Gregg Mayles, a veteran of the company who served as the creative director for both Sea of Thieves and Everwild, reportedly departed Rare following the latter's cancellation.

Final Fantasy Producer Not Sure When Or If Mainline Series Will Return To Turn-Based Combat

Sat, 07/12/2025 - 01:14

The debate over the future of Final Fantasy, namely its approach to combat, continues, and this time the question has been put to Final Fantasy XVI producer Naoki 'Yoshi P' Yoshida, who admitted there is no "clear-cut" answer.

Final Fantasy XVI was a radical departure from previous installments by being a completely real-time action game, even eschewing command menus present in the action-oriented Final Fantasy XV. During an interview at Anime Expo, Yoshida was asked whether the series would return to a turn-based system, given the recent success of Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, which was in turn inspired by earlier Final Fantasy games and Persona.

"With this question of turn-based versus action, it tends to isolate the gameplay to just the battle system," Yoshida told Anime News Network. "That doesn't take into account what kind of game the creators want to deliver to players. For example, based on a certain graphical quality we want to present to our players, or the narrative we want to deliver to our players, it relates to how we set up the game's systems around it. This includes the battle system, game design, and gameplay feel. It's not a clear-cut answer, whether it will become all turn-based, or if it's going to become more action-based."

One Two, Freddy's Coming For You In This New 4K Nightmare On Elm Street Collection

Sat, 07/12/2025 - 01:05
Preorder at Amazon

The dream-stalking killer demon Freddy Krueger is one of horror's most iconic villains, and for fans who want to snag the full seven-film series in 4K Steelbook format, the upcoming A Nightmare on Elm Street 4K Blu-ray collection is now available to preorder for $175 exclusively through Amazon. A release date and cover art haven't been revealed yet, but we're expecting the box to be a gruesome delight for fans of the horror film series.

A Nightmare on Elm Street 7-Film Collection 4K Blu-ray $175 | Release date TBA

While the first Nightmare on Elm Street was remastered in 4K not too long ago, this is the first time that the rest of the film series has been upgraded to ultra-high definition. Inside the box, you'll find steelbook editions of all seven films featuring unique art, a numbered certificate of authenticity, and 3D glasses (likely for the final film in the series, Freddy's Dead, which was filmed in 3D). Bonus features haven't been confirmed, but we expect this collection to include much of the extra content from previous Nightmare on Elm Street Blu-rays.

Preorder at Amazon

A Nightmare on Elm Street earned its spot on the Mount Rushmore of slasher movies when it first debuted in the '80s. The antagonist of the movies, Freddy Krueger, was almost unstoppable as he claimed victims from inside their dreams, effectively scaring them to death. A serial killer who struck from beyond the grave, Krueger--as played by actor Robert Englund--cemented his status as one of the greatest horror movie characters of all time alongside icons like Friday the 13th's Jason Voorhees and Halloween's Michael Myers.

If you don't want to wait for the new 4K Steelbook collection and are fine with the films in 1080p, you can also grab the previously released A Nightmare on Elm Street Blu-ray collection. The set includes all seven movies on Blu-ray disc along with a ton of extra content like retrospectives, documentaries, and two episodes of the Freddy's Nightmares anthology horror series hosted by Krueger himself. A 4K version of the original A Nightmare on Elm Street is also available.

Umamusume: Pretty Derby Creators Share Guidelines For Fans Who Want To Visit Real Race Horses

Sat, 07/12/2025 - 00:23

The unique hook to the anime horse girls of Umamusume: Pretty Derby is that the characters are each based on actual famous race horses. With the sports sim's surging popularity in North America, this may be seeing an interest among new fans to visit the real horses themselves. With that in mind, the game's developer Cygames has published guidelines for people wishing to visit stables.

Umamusume: Pretty Derby has already been a hit in Japan since the original mobile release in 2021, spawning manga, anime, and even a stage adaptation. But since its global release last month, strong word of mouth, including streams from mainstream creators like Northernlion and Vinesauce, has helped catapult it to widespread attention, where earlier this week it hit its all-time-peak of just over 50,000 concurrent players on Steam.

That seems to have also prompted more enquiries from fans who want to actually visit the real-life race horses the titular Umamusume are based on, as a BlueSky user has noted that appointments to visit Haru Urara, a race horse beloved for her long losing streak, has already been booked out for the month. Their post also included a screenshot from a Twitter user urging fans to "please be respectful and follow the rules".

Superman Blu-rays Are Already Up For Preorder

Fri, 07/11/2025 - 23:42
Preorder at Amazon Preorder at Walmart 4K Blu-ray DVD

The new James Gunn-directed Superman movie only just started its theatrical run this week, but preorders are already live for its upcoming Blu-ray release, including a 4K Steelbook Edition that's available for $38. There's also a standard 4K and regular Blu-ray version available available to preorder as well. While there's no release date yet, Blu-rays tend to launch about three months after a film's theatrical run, so we expect these to launch in Fall. That said, preordering the Superman 4K Steelbook or standard edition Blu-rays now means you won't be charged until your order ships, and if the price changes between now and then, you'll only pay the lowest amount.

Superman (4K Steelbook) $38

A release date hasn't been confirmed yet, but we expect this will be out three months after the theatrical run, with October looking likely for the launch of this Blu-ray. The steelbook cover is an an attention-grabber, as it features the entrance to Superman's Fortress of Solitude secret base on the cover, and on the inside, you'll spot the Man of Steel walking through this crystalline ode to his lost homeworld.

Bonus materials haven't been revealed yet for this release, but films based on DC Comics generally have a solid assortment of behind-the-scenes featurettes that do a great job at exploring their respective movies. The 2022 release of The Batman is a prime example of this approach--as it is loaded with all manner of content that examines everything from how that incarnation of the Caped Crusader was developed to the creation of his Batmobile and gadgets.

Preorder at Amazon Preorder at Walmart Superman standard edition Release dates TBD

While the 4K Steelbook Edition is the standout version, you can also preorder a standard edition of the movie on 4K UHD, Blu-ray, or DVD. The finalized cover art for these versions has not been revealed, and like the Steelbook Edition, we don't yet know what bonus features will be included. Nevertheless, preorders are available now at Amazon.

Superman: The Art and Making of the Film $50 | Releases November 18

A Blu-ray for Superman isn't the only piece of tie-in content on the way, as you can read up on the movie with the upcoming Superman: The Art and Making of the Film art book launching November 18. This 176-page hardcover book features concept art, costume and character designs, and illustrations for the multiple locations featured in the movie, along with interviews with director James Gunn and other key members of the creative team, as well as a foreword written by Superman actor David Corenswet.

How To Never Die In The Sims 4

Fri, 07/11/2025 - 23:24

In the real world, everyone dies eventually. In The Sims 4, however, that's not the case at all. While most of the digital people who inhabit your Sim worlds will pass on to the afterlife, there are actually several different methods for extending their lifespans indefinitely. Most of those methods have been added with paid expansion packs you'll need to buy in order to try them, but there are some free, base game options as well. If you like a particular Sim, it's possible to have them live forever--you'll just have to put in some work. Let's take a look at what it takes to live forever.

Table of Contents [hide]Copypasto and cloning

Before we get into the specific methods of gaining immortality, it feels prudent to point out two methods of duplicating potions and serums. Making enough Age-Away serums to live forever would take a long time and be very boring, and you'd have to regularly harvest the ingredients.

There are two ways to speed this process up. First is the Copypasto spell, which spellcasters can use to duplicate any object, and second is the cloning machine, which Sims in the Scientist career will have to build as part of their job duties. Either of these methods can be used to duplicate a Potion of Youth, an Age-Away Serum, or any individual ingredients. You'll need either the Realm of Magic (for Copypasto) or the Get To Work (cloning machine) expansions for these methods, however, and the base game doesn't have any similar methods of duplication.

Bam Margera Is In Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3 + 4 Because Of A Chance LA Visit

Fri, 07/11/2025 - 23:21

When Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3 + 4's roster was first revealed, one notable name was conspicuous in its absence: Bam Margera, one of the most famous skaters of the era who appeared in multiple Tony Hawk games, was the only one from THPS 3's original roster missing from the remake. Margera was eventually added to the game in the 11th hour, and in a new interview with VGC, Margera says a chance encounter with Tony Hawk in Los Angeles is the reason he's back in the game.

Margera says that he was in LA at a time where he hadn't spoken with Hawk in about a year, when Margera "wasn’t doing too good." After a phone call and an invitation to the Hawk's Nest skate park, Margera says Hawk was impressed with his progress.

"I grabbed my skateboard, put on some knee pads, and we wound up ollieing over each other on the big channel," Margera said in the interview. "He’s like, 'What is going on? You are back.'" Margera explains that he recently married a stretch coach who has helped him improve his physical health, which has allowed him to return to skateboarding full-time.

Ghost Of Yotei Brings Back Kurosawa Mode, Adds New Modes From Samurai Film Directors

Fri, 07/11/2025 - 23:15

In 2020, Sucker Punch struck a deal with the estate of the late Samurai film director, Akira Kurosawa, to bring a black-and-white Kurosawa mode into Ghost of Tsushima. During this week's State of Play for the upcoming sequel, Ghost of Yotei, Sucker Punch revealed that Kurosawa mode is making a comeback. And it's not the only nod to Samurai cinema.

Near the end of the gameplay deep dive video, the Ghost of Yotei devs disclosed a partnership with 13 Assassins director Takashi Miike for another mode which brings players a more intimate glimpse of the battle sequences "for a more intense, raw experience along with increased mud and blood splatter."

The third collaboration is with Samurai Champloo director Shinichirō Watanabe. The dev team noted that Watanabe actually directed his mode in the game, which adds some original lo-fi tracks to Ghost of Yotei's soundtrack.

Fri, 07/11/2025 - 23:12

While it might be tempting to immediately load up Road to Glory or Dynasty when you first download College Football 26, going to the settings menu is the best decision you can make. This allows you to customize every gameplay option in the game and learn about some of the new features that EA has added this year. One of the most important sections of the settings menu in College Football 26 is called "Passing Mechanics," and you'll want to ensure you pick the right options here.

Former Subnautica 2 Devs File Lawsuit Against Krafton

Fri, 07/11/2025 - 21:21

The behind-the-scenes drama of Subnautica 2 is quickly becoming one of the most intriguing gaming stories of the month, but probably not in the way that Krafton intended. In the wake of scorched-earth remarks from Krafton about the former leaders of Subnautica 2 developer Unknown Worlds, studio co-founders Charlie Cleveland and Max McGuire, and former CEO Ted Gill are filling a lawsuit against the company.

Cleveland announced the lawsuit on Reddit just a few days after indicating that Subnautica 2 is ready for early-release. According to an earlier report, the decision to part ways with former team leaders and delay the game was potentially due to a $250 million bonus that Krafton was supposed to pay Unknown Worlds. That bonus is only slated to be paid if Unknown Worlds reaches certain financial numbers in 2025, which may be difficult or impossible without Subnautica 2 hitting early-access this year as originally scheduled.

Krafton announced the delay of the game alongside the new trailer for Subnautica 2, but it was bombarded by negative comments about the bonus amid calls for a boycott against the game. In turn, Krafton released a scathing statement accusing Cleveland, McGuire, and Gill of abandoning their responsibilities during the development of Subnautica 2. Cleveland also shared his response to the company's comments.

Ghost Of Yotei Is Getting A Limited Edition PlayStation 5

Fri, 07/11/2025 - 21:14

Sony shed more light on Ghost of Yotei during its State of Play earlier this week. While the focus of the event was primarily on the gameplay and story, there's something special coming for fans of the game. Now, Sony has unveiled the first look at the Ghost of Yotei Limited Edition PlayStation 5 bundles.

There are two options for fans: Ghost of Yotei Gold Limited Edition Bundle and Ghost of Yotei Black Limited Edition Bundle. The Black model will be exclusively available through PlayStation's official store, while the Gold model will be sold everywhere else. Both bundles include a disc drive, a matching DualSense controller, and a digital copy of Ghost of Yoeti with all preorder bonuses.

The dev team at Sucker Punch designed both limited editions, and noted that the Gold bundle was inspired by the Japanese art form known as kintsugi, which is used to repair broken objects with gold and lacquer. The Black bundle's look was taken from another Japanese art form called Sumi-e, which puts black ink on paintings.

There's also the larger Pro Max comes down to size mainly, with the Pro Max offering Apple's best hardware of the year on a larger scale.

The Last Of Us Cooperative Strategy Game Gets First Big Discount For Prime Day

Fri, 07/11/2025 - 10:45

The Last of Us: Escape the Dark, an officially licensed board game based on Naughty Dog's hit PlayStation series, has received its first major discount. Fans can save 25% on the cooperative strategy game at Amazon, dropping the price from $75 to $56. This Prime Day deal is available to all shoppers and is expected to disappear July 12 at 12 AM PT, unless it sells out before then.

The Last of Us: Escape the Dark Board Game $56 (was $75)

Based on the hit series, The Last of Us: Escape the Dark was first announced back in 2022 but didn't hit store shelves until November 2024. It has earned pretty solid reviews so far and is the latest addition to Themeborne's well-received Escape the Dark tabletop strategy series.

Each player picks a major character from Quarantine Zone--Joel, Ellie, Tommy, Bill, Tess, or Marlene--and embark on a perilous trek to Jackson. Along the way, you’ll encounter various scenarios via chapter cards, which put you up against FEDRA agents, the Infected, and other obstacles. Your only way to survive is quick thinking and constantly upgrading your weapons, ensuring you always have the best gear available for your next battle.

Though designed as a cooperative survival-strategy game for up to five players, Escape the Dark is fully playable as a solo experience, too. More and more tabletop games seem to be offering solo modes these days, which is nice for fans who may not be able to get together with friends as often as they'd like.

The game board and all its pieces look pretty sharp, too, thanks to Escape the Dark's black-and-white color scheme that captures foreboding atmosphere of the video games and TV series.

Escape the Dark is recommended for players ages 14 and up. Each run takes anywhere from 60-90 minutes.

Here's what you'll find inside the box:

  • Game Board
  • 6 Survivor Boards
  • 6 Survivor Dice
  • 6 Survivor Tokens
  • 35 Chapter Cards
  • 3 Boss Chapter Cards
  • 5 Location Clear Cards
  • 2 Rules Reference Cards
  • Over 100 Weapon, Item, Crafting, Special Ability, and QZ Cards
  • Over 100 Tokens and Markers

Between high-powered PC tech and various video games, there are many noteworthy deals during Prime Day this year. But if you're a Batman fan, then you'll want to check out the various Prime Day deals on graphic novels starring the Dark Knight. We've gathered up a list of some of the best Batman adventures in the list below, but here's the best part: you can get some of them for free, thanks to Amazon's Buy Two Get One promotion. To get the discount, all you have to do is pick three eligible items from the list, and the price of the lowest-priced one will be subtracted from your order's total at checkout. The deal also applies to a a bunch of Batman and DC superhero Blu-rays, so there's plenty of great options to pick from.

See all Batman graphic novel deals at Amazon

As for the Batman graphic novels on offer, some of our top recommendations are Chip Zdarsky's Batman storylines like Failsafe, The Bat-Man of Gotham, The Joker Year One, Dark Prisons, and The Dying City. These books are widely considered some of the best storylines starring Gotham's caped vigilante. Batman: White Knight is another great pick. The series offers a different take on the character--instead of a well-intentioned hero, Batman is a dangerous vigilante whose actions cause more harm than good to Gotham City. The story pits this violent take on Batman against a version of the Joker who regains his sanity and now wages a public crusade Batman.

Another great pick is the Batman: One Bad Day box set. This collection spotlights several of Batman's greatest foes like the Riddler, Ra's Al Ghul, and Bane, detailing how some of the worst days in their lives led them to become the villains we know them as. Some of the best creative teams in comics handled these stories, and each volume is a deluxe hardcover book that comes packaged inside a cool slipcase box.

One thing to note here is that Amazon is taking a scattershot approach with eligible manga, as not every entire run will be included in the sales event. Instead, it looks like Amazon is offering the early volumes of a manga and random later chapters in this deal, but this is still an opportunity to dive into a manga series that you've heard of.
