Bethesda's «next gen» update for Fallout 4 didn't change much about the game itself, but it did manage to cause problems for pretty much every mod out there. The most high-profile casualty was the hotly anticipated Fallout: London, an enormous project that was initially set for release on April 23 (St George's day, of course), but was subsequently delayed while the team set about fixing things.
By some miracle, I successfully went the entirety of Final Fantasy 14: Dawntrail without wanting to bone the giant two-headed lizard man Bakool Ja Ja. A surprising feat considering just how many players seem to be down bad for him, somehow putting him on the same level as folk like moody bad boy Emet Selch and goofy gluttonous catboy G'raha Tia.
Genshin Impact's upcoming 5.0 update will introduce Natlan, a new region, in August later this year. But after dropping a surprise teaser out of nowhere, a few of the game's voice actors have come out against a new character that shares the name of an African deity, saying the design is disrespectful.
The recent reveal of Genshin Impact's next major region, Natlan, and nine of its (seemingly playable) characters has rekindled criticism of developer HoYoverse's penchant for researching and borrowing from real countries, from Sumeru's take on the Middle East to Natlan's riff on what strongly seem to be African and Latin American elements, but filling its renditions almost exclusively with white or white-passing people. Well over a dozen of Genshin Impact's English voice actors have now joined countless fans calling for Natlan to feature skin tones that match the people of the countries the region is based on.
A new petition to improve representation in the game has now reached over 40 thousand signatures. The petition was created shortly after the reveal of the first three characters from Natlan, Kachina, Kinich, and Mualani in the teaser trailer shown at the end of the Version 4.8 livestream. However, the online petition gained even more traction following the reveal of several Natlan characters in , which created a huge amount of backlash due to the lack of representation in its mostly white ensemble of characters in a region inspired by Africa and South America.
Game Freak released a total of seven games on Nintendo's Game Boy consoles following the Japanese launch of the franchise in 1996, beginning with the series' international debut with in 1998, which introduced players around the world to the Kanto region. From the very beginning, many were hooked on the RPG's adventurous story campaign and addicting «catch-em-all» gameplay. The game's trading feature also made it an instant hit on many school playgrounds in the 90s, as players had to connect with each other in order to obtain all 151 Pokémon in the Generation 1 RPG.
Like many, Gen Urobuchi, the creator of NetEases’s Rusty Rabbit, didn’t have much to do during the COVID-19 lockdown. Rather than binge a new show, pick up a new hobby, or dive deep into a book, he decided to create a 2.5D Metroidvania. This ultimately became a way for Urobuchi to express himself and process his feelings during this time. Some of us made bread during the pandemic; Urobuchi made a game about a race of adorable, gruff-voiced bunnies inheriting the Earth after humans abandoned it.
