 The huge Yakuza 5 arrives remastered and closes the trilogy The Yakuza Remastered Collection on PS4, a console that already has all the main saga.      With Yakuza 5 Remastered , Sega brings the entire main series to PlayStation 4, from the prequel Yakuza 0 to the airs of change that Yakuza brings : Like a Dragon , which we will talk more about this year. Fans, new or veteran, can relive the adventures of Kazuma Kiryu with remakes, remasters and native deliveries of PS4, and Yakuza 5 closes The Yakuza Remastered Collection , the physical edition with the Yakuza of PS3 - Yakuza 3, 4 and 5 - . We only miss the spin-offs , but few apologies remain to discover this saga of brawler action and touches of role. Yakuza 5 arrived in the final stretch of PlayStation 3, in Japan in 2012. Yakuza had not reaped the popularity it has today, still moderate but enough for Sega to trust his success even in the West. Its original launch was delayed for years, even doubting its distributi

Is this the future of Project xCloud? Samsung on Tuesday finally revealed details of its new flagship phone, the Galaxy S20, and its next folding device, the Galaxy Z Flip, at its Unpacked event. The Korean tech giant also talked up partnerships with companies such as Google, Netflix and, on the gaming front, Microsoft.  David Park, Samsung's director of strategy, said on stage that the company is working with Xbox on a "premium cloud-based game streaming experience." Park didn't offer any other details, just saying more would be revealed in the future.  Microsoft is currently previewing its own game streaming service, Project xCloud. The cloud streaming service is expected to tie-in with Microsoft's upcoming game console, the Xbox Series X, that comes out later in 2020. Samsung didn't immediately respond to a request for comment on the partnership, but Microsoft said they're looking forward to sharing more about service later this year.  &qu

Ghost Games to become an EA engineering hub with 30 staff at risk EA will return the Need for Speed franchise to UK games studio Criterion. Current franchise leader Ghost Games in Gothenburg is set to become EA Gothenburg once again (pending Swedish Union approval). The studio will refocus itself as an engineering hub supporting development across EA's portfolio. EA told  GamesIndustry.biz  that: "The engineering expertise in our Gothenburg team, some of whom are architects of the Frostbite engine, is vital to a number of our ongoing projects, and they would remain in that location." As for the Ghost Games creative team, EA is looking to transfer many of the staff to positions at Criterion and other places within the wider organisation. However, 30 roles remain at risk. "Outside of the engineers and those that we plan to transfer to other positions, there would be 30 additional staff in Gothenburg, and we would hope to place as many of them as possible i

Team Ninja's samurai Souls-like is sharper and more focused than ever. Team Ninja's Nioh 2 very much continues iterating upon the methodical Souls-style samurai-influenced combat of the original game. As a prequel set several decades earlier in the Sengoku-era, before the arrival of the foreigner William, you play as a nameless Samurai who can defy death and unleash newfound abilities due to their latent demonic lineage. As a being of both the human and demon worlds, your character will rub shoulders with historical figures of the era as they take on daring missions that have them confront the dark forces running afoul in the land. Over the last few months, Team Ninja has spent time refining the game with different open beta periods for players to jump into the action. Just before the game's final release on March 13, we got to spend one final time with the game, where we explored a castle overrun by demons and rogue ninja. From this near-final look at the gam

Being the best of both worlds in Nioh 2. Nioh proved a fantastic iteration of the massively popular Souls-like genre. At the same time, it marked a return for its developer, Team Ninja, who struggled for years to create an action game experience that rivaled the quality of its work on the original Ninja Gaiden. In 2020, the studio is looking to continue that success by releasing Nioh 2. The upcoming sequel looks to improve upon the first in a variety of ways, as well as change things up. Below we've compiled everything we know about Nioh 2, including its release date, our impressions of the game so far, its length, how its combat is changing, and a lot more. Story And Characters Like its predecessor, Nioh 2 is set during the Sengoku period of Japanese history--this time in the year 1555, which is at the height of this era of near-constant military conflict and social upheaval. Thus, Nigh 2 serves as a prequel to the first game, and this time you play as

Kiryu didn't choose the yakuza life, the yakuza life chose him. A couple years ago, I got drawn into Kazuma Kiryu's world, the world of Yakuza games, being completely enamored by charismatic characters and the allure of rowdy city streets. The series' pitch-perfect blend of gripping melodrama and absurdist humor is as consistent as kindhearted tough-guy Kazuma Kiryu getting suckered into his former gang's illicit business. With Yakuza 5 Remastered out now, alongside the whole Yakuza Remastered Collection, the entire saga is now playable on PlayStation 4. Each entry was memorable in its own right, but Yakuza 5's opening chapter is the one that will forever be burnt into my memory. On a calm winter night in Fukuoka, about 700 miles from his home turf of Kamurocho in Tokyo, Kiryu's chaotic life is shown to have seemingly settled down again. He's a cab driver assuming a new identity under a different name, appearing to have put decades of his life

Pokemon Home is now available to download on Nintendo Switch. The cloud-based subscription service, which allows you to transfer Pokemon from previous games into Pokemon Sword and Shield among other features, was previously announced for a February 2020 release window, but the specific date was not confirmed. Like Pokemon Bank, Pokemon Home allows you to store Pokemon you've caught across various games. There are two versions of Pokemon Home: the Nintendo Switch app and the mobile app. The mobile version has distinct features, including trading, and is a companion app to the Switch one rather than an alternative. The Nintendo Switch, Android, and iOS versions are all now available to download. There are also two pricing plans for Pokemon Home overall. The free version includes most of the service's features but in a limited capacity, while the paid version gives you perks like added storage. One month of Pokemon Home Premium costs $3, three months is $5, and 12 months i
