The new Guilty Gear will be on PS4

No upgrade required At Evo this past weekend, Arc System Works announced that a newGuilty Gearwas in development. Set for a release in 2020, no platforms were confirmed alongside the teaser trailer. While it was likely that PS4 would be one consoles the game would end up on, it’s nice to have confirmation that the game is coming to Sony’s current-gen platform. The reason this is so important is that, for all intents and purposes, the PS5 should be releasing next year....

What is the prescription for in World of Horror?

The prescription can be a bit of an enigmatic item to come across inWorld of Horror. It’s dropped by an enemy that you come across randomly, and then it just sits in your inventory. Its description doesn’t really help. It just coyly asks where you’d take something like it. And that’s kind of obvious, but also not really. Not immediately, anyway. In fact, if you don’t have the “Shiokawa History III” achievement already, turn around and do that before diving deeper into this guide....

Digital Foundryhas a video laying out the console versions, andLichdomis such a technical mess (“one of the worst performing console games we’ve ever tested”) that I struggled to watch it....

Xbox 360’s spring update to offer USB storage solution

Our buddies over at Joystiq uncovered some juicy documentation regarding Microsoft’s Spring 2010 update to the Xbox 360 Dashboard, specifically that the console would now support external USB hard drives. Yup, you’ll soon be able to store DLC, saved games and Arcade titles on an external, USB HDD of your choosing. Don’t get all that excited, however.

Ah superintendent Chalmers, I hope you’re prepared for an unforgettable Smash Ultimate level

Good lord what is happening in there I’ve said this before, butthe “Steamed Hams” sketchwas always one of my wife and I’s favorite Simpsons moments before the memes began. The deadpan like “yeeeees,” is a big go-to for us, as are many great lines like “an unforgettable luncheon.” That’s why this scene hasn’t gotten old for me yet, in spite of myriad takes like a Solid Snake codec call,aGuitar Herosong, and yes, thisSmash Ultimatecustom level featuring Skinner and Chalmers in the digital flesh....
