I wanted to provide a quick update on our development roadmap. It has taken a while to get things stable and migrated to our own servers but this has been completed!
Now onto implementing some of your great suggestions. If you haven't visited the N4G product roadmap please do head over there as this is where we can gather your feedback and suggestions to improve the site.

We are starting with the 'quick wins' and we are pleased to announce we have removed the 3-day limit for commenting and have increased the comment/user from 10 to 30.
The next set of tasks will focus on improving the site experience. These include
- Redesigned top Navigation
- infinite scroll on article pages
- Single Sign On (with 2FA)
- Open zone Forum (dependent on SSO)
There are longer terms projects focusing on moderation admin, search, tags, comments voting, @mentions, email notifications, personalisation, redesigned channel pages etc. We are currently reviewing the best long-term solution as these features were created when the site was first built and thus on legacy code! This is an area that we know is a critical part of the site so we want to ensure that we implement a solution that is scalable going forward.
One particular change I would like to get your feedback on is the Top Navigation redesign https://n4g.productlift.dev...
Some of you may be aware that we launched N4G Unlocked which allows us to create original gaming articles. We have intentionally kept this independent of the main site and now we will make this visible on the main site.
One of the big Xbox releases heading our way in May 2024 is the long-awaited Hypercharge Unboxed, which is finally bringing its "first and third-person shooter action figure game" to Xbox consoles on Friday, May 31st.
Sadly, ahead of launch, the game's official Twitter (or "X") account has been highlighting the "trolls" who are claiming that because it's not launching on Game Pass, Hypercharge Unboxed is already set up for failure on Xbox.
Just because our indie game isn't on game pass, doesn't mean it's "dead on arrival".

We hope you still give our action figure game a try. 💚 #xbox pic.twitter.com/3D8dhlWOvZ
It's horrible what people will say, but the truth might be harsh. There is a good chance it might not do well on Xbox if it's not on GamePass. There is a strong possibility that is the case. We'll see.
When it launches on Playstation in the future you can rest assured it will sell much better. The devs have confirmed it's coming to Playstation in the future.
"It is built in the Unreal Engine 4. The game was released on the Nintendo eShop on January 31, 2020 and on Steam on April 27, 2020. The development of Hypercharge: Unboxed for the Xbox platform was officially announced on July 16, 2022, with the developers also confirming future support for the PlayStation."
I remember having this on my radar years ago for the Switch but never pulled the trigger on it. Crazy it's still not on PlayStation yet.
The upcoming Hollow Knight: Silksong has a chance to change up the formula from the first game in a unique way by giving Hornet her own armory.
The Velvet Room is one of Persona's most notable features, but Persona 6 will have a hard time topping some of the room's past incarnations.
huh?
it could literally be anything at this point.
its not the room itself, its how they handle the interior design of the room.
What about the bubble system 🤔
I just enjoy visiting this site for all my video game news, and reviews. You guys have done an amazing job at keeping me well informed on all sorts of gaming information. So I just wanted to say, keep up the great work you all have been doing!!! Trust that it doesn't go unnoticed.
Maybe less censorship on this updated N$G roadmap. Moderators going willy nilly with bans.
Also...top navigation changes... this is not an issue at all.
Whatever you're doing is not needed... also it can't be seen.
-The designs are attached to this ticket... what ticket? jpeg? png? where? You want feedback?
Single sign on? ok... So now I will be banned across all sites. Cool.
How about edit your own posts... without time limit? Hmmm? With edited time...ofc.
Mainly related to the amount of TOTK guides, just going to C/P my comment from the other day.
Why this website can't allow users to block seeing guides is beyond me, add the tagline "guide" and allow users to not see articles related to that tag
Could you please stop ads with audio from auto playing. It's extremely intrusive and it stops other audio sources so I could be scrolling while listening to a podcast just to have the ad play audio and auto pause my player...
