https://www.gamespot.com/articles/switch-2-images-have-allegedly-leaked-suggesting-powerful-leap-forward-for-nintendo/1100-6526551/?ftag=CAD-01-10abi2f
Unverified images of what's claimed to be the Nintendo Switch successor (https://www.gamespot.com/articles/switch-2-release-date-specs-display-price/1100-6520278/) have appeared online, revealing a console that isn't a radical departure from the current Switch console design. The images suggest that the Switch will sport a bigger eight-inch screen, Joy-Cons that use a magnetic attachment, and significantly improved hardware in comparison to the current model.The pictures were first found on a Chinese social media site and uploaded to Reddit. While Nintendo has not commented on them, a source told VGC (https://www.videogameschronicle.com/news/alleged-images-of-nintendos-new-switch-have-appeared-online/) that the Reddit images line up (https://x.com/Andy_VGC/status/1836369796742398294) with what partners have been told to expect with the final Switch 2 design.The Switch 2 is claimed to have 12GB of RAM--up from the 4GB inside the current Switch--HDMI 2.1 support, and an internal storage capacity of 256GB. As for the controllers, the leaked design shows off revised SL/SR buttons and a different layout for LEDs. Nintendo has said nothing at all about what to expect from its next system, apart from how it is aiming to "surprise and delight" (https://www.gamespot.com/articles/switch-2-nintendo-has-nothing-to-announce-but-says-next-console-aims-to-surprise-and-delight/1100-6512297/) fans when it is officially revealed.Continue Reading at GameSpot (https://www.gamespot.com/articles/switch-2-images-have-allegedly-leaked-suggesting-powerful-leap-forward-for-nintendo/1100-6526551/?ftag=CAD-01-10abi2f/)
Horizon Zero Dawn Remastered Leaks On ESRB Site
https://www.gamespot.com/articles/horizon-zero-dawn-remastered-leaks-on-esrb-site/1100-6526550/?ftag=CAD-01-10abi2f
Horizon Zero Dawn (https://www.gamespot.com/games/horizon-zero-dawn/) Remastered has been rated by the ESRB, suggesting that an upgraded version of the open-world game is in development for PS5 and PC. First released for the PS4 in 2017, Horizon Zero Dawn was later ported to PC in 2020 and received a sequel--Horizon Forbidden West--in 2023. Rumors of a remaster first popped up in 2022 (https://www.gamespot.com/articles/horizon-zero-dawn-ps5-remake-remaster-and-multiplayer-spin-off-reportedly-in-development/1100-6507954/), as a report claimed that accessibility features, graphical modes, and quality-of-life improvements to the gameplay itself would bring the game up to the same standard as its sequel.The listing (https://www.esrb.org/ratings/40023/horizon-zero-dawn-remastered/), which is still live at the time of writing, details the basic plot of the game, as well as small references to sexual material, fictional drugs, and at least one instance of salty language. Interestingly, Horizon Zero Dawn did receive a PS5 update in 2021 (https://www.gamespot.com/articles/ps5s-horizon-forbidden-west-release-date-now-february-18-2022-zero-dawn-60fps-patch-out-now/1100-6495581/) that added a 60fps performance and a 4K resolution, and this reveal comes shortly after Sony officially confirmed a November launch date (https://www.gamespot.com/articles/ps5-pro-preorder-guide-price-release-date-amazon-best-buy-walmart/1100-6526406/) for the PS5 Pro console (https://www.gamespot.com/articles/ps5-pro-release-date-specs-price/1100-6523695/).The recent first look at the PS5 Pro also showcased Horizon Forbidden West running on it, so another update for Horizon Zero Dawn wouldn't be an unusual move for Sony. On top of that, fans of Aloy and the post-robot-apocalypse can also look forward to Lego Horizon Adventures (https://www.gamespot.com/articles/lego-horizon-adventures-release-trailer-story/1100-6526137/) later this year, as that game puts a more lighthearted spin on the series.Continue Reading at GameSpot (https://www.gamespot.com/articles/horizon-zero-dawn-remastered-leaks-on-esrb-site/1100-6526550/?ftag=CAD-01-10abi2f/)

War Game Trailer Chronicles The Making Of STALKER 2 During Wartime
https://www.gamespot.com/articles/war-game-trailer-chronicles-the-making-of-stalker-2-during-wartime/1100-6526549/?ftag=CAD-01-10abi2f
It's not uncommon for video game projects to be delayed by unexpected issues. But GSC Game World, the developer behind STALKER (https://www.gamespot.com/reviews/stalker-clear-sky-review/1900-6198116/) and its upcoming sequel, STALKER 2: Heart of Chornobyl (https://www.gamespot.com/articles/stalker-2-heart-of-chornobyl-delayed-to-november/1100-6525281/), had the terrifying and unique experience of being disrupted by the Russian invasion of Ukraine in 2022. Now, the first trailer for a new documentary, War Game: The Making of STALKER 2, chronicles the struggle that the team had to go through in order to finish the game. Andrew Stephan directed War Game, which takes viewers behind the scenes at GSC Game World as their lives were upended by the invasion. Creative director Maria Grygorovych and her team were previously based in Kiev before the start of the war. But GSC Game World ultimately had to move development from Kiev to Prague while the fight for their homeland continues to this day. War Game was sponsored and produced by Microsoft, and it will be released on Xbox's official YouTube channel."It wasn't my dream to do this film," Grygorovych told Variety (https://variety.com/2024/gaming/news/stalker-2-ukraine-war-developers-doc-xbox-1236146958/). "But I really think it's important to share... We are really not public people and it's hard to share something personal. But when this opportunity comes to us from Microsoft, we thought that it's important to share with the world a little bit more about how difficult it is to live in a wartime from the personal side... When you see specific people who can share some real story, maybe someone can imagine how hard it is and why any war is something bad. It's impossible for me to find some reason to start a war."Continue Reading at GameSpot (https://www.gamespot.com/articles/war-game-trailer-chronicles-the-making-of-stalker-2-during-wartime/1100-6526549/?ftag=CAD-01-10abi2f/)

As a high schooler in 2006, I spent many months and what little money I had renting screen time with an Xbox 360 in a mall store that had dozens of TVs and consoles available for use at hourly rates. Several visits and two years later, I'd saved up enough money to buy myself the console, no longer willing to be only a part-time player of the game I'd wanted: Capcom's Dead Rising. Nearly 20 years since then, it's been entertaining to discover that it still holds up as an endearing, open-world zombie game tha
