Originally, the character model and voice for Judgement character Kyohei Hamura was based upon Japanese musician and actor Pierre Taki. Shortly after his drugs arrest, however, Sega and Ryu Ga Gotoku Studios scrambled to replace him with the voice and likeness of Japanese actor Miou Tanaka instead. Modder Timo 654, however, has brought Taki back to life - so to speak - by meticulously restoring the original voice lines and likeness....

As ever, the annual show will be held at Makuhari Messe, one of Japan’s largest convention centres. TGS will start on 15th September for business visitors and will then be open to the public from the 17th, until the show’s conclusion on the 18th of September. The theme this year will be “Nothing stops gaming”, with the Computer Entertainment Supplier’s Association stating: “Over these two years, various fun events disappeared from our daily life, but games still lightened up our days....

During the Ubisoft Forward show, Ubisoft showed a brief look at gameplay. You can check it out in the video below: Here’s the official blurb: “Explore and uncover mysterious secrets while meeting each planet’s curious inhabitants. Use your heroes’ skills in an innovative combat system, which combines freedom of movement and strategic turn-based decision making as you take on new and familiar foes. Take control of your heroes to dash your enemies, team jump on your allies, hide behind cover… and make the best out of your turn....

UFL is in development at a studio called Strikerz Inc., and has supposedly been in the works since 2016. It’s free with, as the developers say, “no mandatory payments or yearly fees.” “The game is designed to be a fair to play experience emphasising a skill-first approach with zero pay-to-win options,” Strikerz Inc., said. These marketing quotes are clearly designed to position UFL in contrast to EA’s pay-to-win FIFA Ultimate Team mode, and Konami’s beleaguered eFootball....

It’s a simple game, a game about unpacking boxes, and it was inspired when co-creators Wren Brier and Tim Dawson did exactly that: moved in together. It was an idea that struck Brier almost immediately but she struggled mustering the confidence to build it out. With Dawson’s encouragement and help, though, she managed it, and years later, here we are. Unpacking is a rare game that resonates quickly and deeply with nearly everyone....

Like Crusader Kings and Europa Universalis before it, Victoria 3 lets you pick a particular nation-state and do as you please with it. While there are game modes that focus on specific objectives like economic or military dominance, Victoria 3 is ultimately a giant strategic sandbox that lets you direct the winds of change however you choose. You could transform Victorian Britain into a socialist republic, rest a crown on the temples of Abraham Lincoln, or attempt to conquer the world as the East India Company....

It’s in the works at Everguild, maker of the The Horus Heresy: Legions card game set during the all-encompassing Space Marine civil war that took place during the 31st millenium.

Here we see the full cargo plane fight scene glimpsed in previous trailers, and heavily inspired by Uncharted 3. A gunfight in the hold of a cargo plane quickly turns into a Tom Holland platforming scene as he leaps between dangling pallets to get back on the aircraft - Holland’s Spider-Man skills clearly paying off. Let’s watch: The film, simply titled Uncharted, follows a younger Drake (Holland) and Sully (Mark Wahlberg) as they meet other familiar faces from the game series, hunt treasure, and try to track down Nate’s long-lost brother....

Not only was the drag showcase the epicentre of LGBT+ representation at the convention, it was an opportunity to highlight the diversity of talent on Twitch....

For the uninitiated, the aim of Wordle is to work out a daily five-letter word within six guesses. The fewer the guesses, the better - and if you fail to guess it at all, you’ll break your streak. The latter is why working out today’s Wordle answer is such a priority, as players pride themselves on keeping their streak going. So why gamble on a risky final guess when you can learn a few clues and, failing that, get the definitive answer?...
