The footage, which has been shared by Game Informer, focuses on the new character, providing a breakdown of her combat capabilities which are very different from those of Bayonetta. Viola is a new protagonist you play in Bayonetta 3. Viola is an Umbra Witch in training and subsequently has a different move set than the seasoned Bayonetta. Check out never-before-seen gameplay in our exclusive cover story breakdown. Bayonetta 3 is the third in the series by PlatinumGames, but in some ways, it will feel like a new start, not only because of new playable character Viola, but also for Bayonetta being voiced by Jennifer Hale instead of Hellena Taylor, who voiced the character since the first entry in the series....

Meant as a continuation of the mini-series on the original PlayStation, Chocobo GP was supposed to be a racer akin to games like Mario Kart, except your roster was filled with Black Mage, Cloud Strife, and Squall Leonhart, just to name a few. It launched on January 12th as a Nintendo Switch and mobile title. This game’s demise comes not even a year after release.

Some would call this dramatic fall from grace justified, given a rising interest rate environment coupled with a seemingly endless crypto winter.

Having played the original PSP release, I envy all those who will experience Zack’s emotional story for the first time with Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII – Reunion, as I feel they will get to play the definitive version of the game. While the touched-up visuals, which include new character models for key characters, better camera, and reworked locations to make Reunion’s aesthetics better fit with those of Final Fantasy VII Remake, are extremely welcome, it’s the gameplay improvements that really take the cake, as they finally make the game fun to play....

Both the PS5 and Xbox Series X versions of Deathloop offer up the exact same visual modes – Performance (dynamic 4K, 60fps), Visual Quality (dynamic 4K, 60fps), Ray Tracing (dynamic 4K, 30fps, ray tracing), and Ultra Performance (locked 1080p, 120fps, and VRR). In modes with dynamic 4K, the resolution can drop to around 1800p on both systems, but not much below. There is also an issue where proper sharpening filters haven’t been applied in Ray Tracing mode on PS5, making it’s dynamic image look ever-so-slightly blurrier than on XSX....

The first title that I demoed from Prime Matter was Dolmen, an upcoming sci-fi Soulslike from the Brazilian team at Massive Work Studio.
