Sony ‘learned a lot’ from Concord failure, will now leverage the strength of ‘proven IP’

Short-lived live service shooter Concord represented a huge miss for Sony when it launched earlier this year, but the PlayStation maker claims it has "learned a lot" from the experience of reportedly pouring $200 million into a project (thanks Kotaku) only to pull it from sale within weeks and swiftly shutter the studio responsible for its creation.

The Japanese company shared that takeaway in its latest fiscal report and claimed launching a…

MediEvil Review – Bones 'n Brawn

As a remaster of the 1998 puzzle-platformer of the same name, MediEvil holds up reasonably well. Its cartoonishly charming characters and varied, if relatively simplistic, level design both stands the test of time and looks better than ever thanks to a complete graphical overhaul. But as much as MediEvil can feel like a warm blanket of nostalgia–especially for those of us who played the game 21 years ago–it also feels incredibly dated, with jittery controls and camera issues that regularly get in the way of progress.

You play as Sir Daniel Fortesque, a dead knight who is r…

New Pokemon Scarlet And Violet Patch Doesn't Fix Performance, But It Does Go After Bugs

A new update is available for Pokemon Scarlet and Violet, and while it does address several bugs in the game–don’t worry Heracross, you’re safe–there aren’t any performance fixes listed in the patch notes. Technical performance in the new Pokemon games has been underwhelming–especially when compared to previous entries in the series–and while there have been previous patches, these have mostly focused on fixing specific gameplay bugs.

For the 1.3.0 update, players who caught an Egg instead of Walking Wake or Iron Leaves in a Tera Raid battle before they updated to version 1.2.0 wi…
