Dan Rizzo "Horizon Call of the Mountain is unquestionably one of the best VR experiences I’ve ever had the privilege and pleasure of playing. Unequivocally designed to masterfully contend with other escapades of its ilk, and AAA successes, and it goes without saying, lays trademark influence of base PS5 titles toward PSVR2’s ingenuity and bold integrity out of the box."
Embracer Group has released its latest financial statements, and while sales are up, some of the group's games haven't performed so well.
And they'll cancel 50 of them, then lay off their staff within the next couple of years. I think Embracer's new logo should be a Boa Constrictor.
Hidetaka Miyazaki appeared in an interview to discuss the future of the Elden Ring DLC and FromSoftware's future plans.
I hope Bluepoint are working on BB remake..
Sony now seem to have lost it with all the gaas, i have no hope in seeing them approaching FS to make a sequel. I hope gamers will push Sony and show continuous disapproval to the gaas model
U probably right about the remake it is maybe too early. A performance mode would be more welcome at this point
can we get new ideas instead of remakes? gamers are the most nostalgia driven on this earth istg
Look at how Bluepoint changed the art for demons souls. I wouldn’t want them doing that for Bloodborne
I don’t know how to feel, Armored Core just isn’t as good as Elden Ring, Dark Souls, Bloodborne and the like.
I hope he does a new IP instead
Fortunately, if you're not interested in the AC series, he doesn't say he plans to drop everything to work exclusively on the next one, as implied by the article header. Just general comments about it being an important series he wants to be involved with at some point.
Ubisoft recently shared more details about Assassin's Creed Shadows protagonists, confirming that both of them will romantically attract and be attracted to different types of people.
Feudal Japan DEI LGBTQ+ Samurai, sounds very accurate for the time period. Surely a decision made only with historical accuracy in mind.
You have no idea what you are talking about, bet you didn’t know nobunaga was bi-sexual. Or ran maru his is often depicted as androgynous was a “beautiful boy”.
So yeah, feudal Japan had tons of lgbtq and kawaii enough… A BLACK SAMURAI! All without the need of offending a Caucasian because the world is diverse.
This story has cracked me up so much! Bravo Ubisoft, bravo! 🤣. So last week everyone was upset that in the long-awaited first Assassin’s Creed: Japan game the protagonist is black. But NOW he is also LGBTQ+ ! It’s like the Ubisoft creative team sat around a table and said “How can we best impress our Kotaku/IGN/Polygon friends and antagonise gamers? Let’s make it woke x 100!’ And then they all silent clapped!
Just you wait until the Star Wars: Outlaws details come out, there better not be anybody complaining about Kay Vess’ dating preferences and the gay droid armies.
Lexreborn2 is right
Go read up on Japan's feudal era homosexuality and bisexuality was a very common thing in that time.
I just have to laugh because the same people complaining about this are the same ones crying about wanting "historical accuracy". When it's clear most of the whiners don't even know history themselves.
Facts don't care about downvotes, btw. You either claim to understand historical accuracy or you just admit you don't like the stuff people did throughout history.

Japan had no Christian stupidity about sexuality.
That's where your nonsensical puritanical view comes from: the Abraham's faiths.
It's feudal Japan, they don't believe in your religion's made up nonsense.
I mean, if you're going to embrace a particular viewpoint, you should at least be aware of where it comes from. Most of the world doesn't care about your ideals.
In those days, they certainly didn't care about your religion.
Get over yourself.
All of you guys missed the point, I even said I'm very sure they did it ONLY because they wanted to be historically accurate. Stop defending this, we all know why they did it and who they want to pander, it's not out newfound respect for history.
@RpgSama
Nobody is defending anything.
People are just pointing out the fact that after they just cried about the game not being historically accurate, when they SHOW they're accurate, they cry about it because they don't like certain parts of history
Not to mention you contradicted yourself RPGSama. You just pointed out you said they "ONLY because they wanted to be historically accurate". Then turn around and accuse them of pandering and/or having an agenda. Those two things are opposing statements
Dumbest decision ever.. always online was a pass for me but now not even for free I’ll try it..
It's made by Ubisoft Montreal.
Obviously we'll be allowed to bang anything that moves.
Oh yeah!!!! What about being inclusive???
I'm sorry
..please replace the word inclusive with stupid.
If they truly aimed for inclusivity they’d make the protagonist an Ainu tribe, this is just Ubisoft getting comfy with Sweet Baby Inc as always.
I thought you crybabies wanted "historical accuracy." Now that your going to get it, you're going to cry more.
It's past the point of retarded, everyone seems forced to do this bullshit now in games. 😑
Hell no. A good game or film is secondary now to the agenda and the 'message'.
It's not enough to be simply entertained these days, there has to be an overarching real world narrative. I mean look at Dr Who as a recent example. Disney have completely destroyed it all in the name of 'diversity'.
Thanks… I was originally going to write Samu-Bi but then I realized it was right there already so it works better
You have to understand they’re incapable of writing a good story so this is the best they could come up with
Well, after last weeks crying about historical accuracy. Now Ubi days, " Oh, okay, historical accuracy: here you go."
Now you're saying you don't want the accuracy? Can you guys just make up your minds?
Many entertainment medias do this nowadays because in an effort to boost the so called “EGS score”, investment companies such as Black Rock stipulated contracts that obligated fund recipient to conform to certain inclusivity standards, either by themselves or consulting with agencies like Sweet Baby Inc or Gaymerx.
It's a genuine click-bait snippet to rile up people like you to push traffic.
They can't help themselves. This path leads to failure. Every single time. But there's no stopping this ESG DEI train. If you don't buy it then the developers will say everyone is racist hompohobes. They will never, ever look inwards and admit that hey, we made a mistake, we gave people what we decided they wanted, not what they actually wanted. They'll blame the fans when it fails.
The more people play this, the more they like it. Go in knowing there's a lot of climbing and that it's the best climbing ever in a game. What's funny is I remember The Climb and The Climb 2 (both great games) being massively praised VR games, when ALL you do is climb.
Horizon CotM comes out and you can climb, shoot, paint, play music, pick up anything, interact with people, engage in combat - all set to a good story in an established franchise - and you get the usual suspects that try to hunt the negative wailing that there's too much climbing! lol
There's so much detail, it's incredible. I'd honestly sit this alongside Half life Alyx as and it no longer shocks me that some reviewers compared the two, since I've played it for myself now. What's even more crazy, is that GT7 and Resident Evil Village sit alongside those! Never been a better time in VR gaming.
ive been playing this the last few days. while i think its good, i don't think it deserves a 9. Maybe an 8. Its actually kind of repetitive. lots of climbing... like... always climbing. at first it feels cool cuz you have to use the sense controllers to physically grab on to rocks or ropes or whatever and pull yourself along as you would in real life. after doing this constantly though it starts to feel more like a job than a game.
It is really cool how you access your bow and arrows etc and how you aim. pretty much just like how you would in real life. you have to reach behind your back with your lefthand to access the bow, the same for the right hand to access your arrows. then you physically pull back with your right hand and aim with your left just like a real bow and arrow. that stuff is cool. its also cool how you have to physically grab doors to open them or turn keys to activate them. its very cool. from a tech standpoint its all very cool. the visuals are really impressive (tho you can tell they are slightly downgraded from Forbidden West but still really impressive).
Story wise its fine. it makes sense to focus on other people in the world for once. I wouldn't say the characters are as likable as in Forbidden West and can be kind of annoying sometimes. It doesn't feel as strong as the other HZD games but its still good. As a tech demo its impressive.
