A good thing to keep in mind when watching footage for upcoming games: the game is still in development, and subject to change! Capcom put out this new screenshot of Alyssa hugging Grace from the Gamescom trailer, with Alyssa's face changed to be more distraught (new vs original).

The new screenshot, showing Alyssa's expression more pained.

The original moment from the trailer, where Alyssa appears somewhere between happy and blank.

This is actually a topic I've been curious about as well. I've heard how The Martian and Metro 2033 were originally released this way. Would love to hear if it's still a viable option.

Former Team Ninja boss Tomonobu Itagaki has passed away, as confirmed by his Facebook and personal friends. "Words of departure - my life's light is about to run out." www.facebook.com/tomonobu.ita...

Itagaki's farewell post, which I will not be translating in full because I don't want to do it an injustice. It says it was posted by someone close to him.

Itagaki's final photo of himself, sitting in a restaurant, looking off into the distance.

It also has a full fan-made mod campaign to go along with the main one, if I recall right? Should still be listed on ModDB!

Yeah, the trailer for that one did NOT look good in the slightest. I don't get what they were thinking.

Actually, Uncharted 2 is rather underrated...

This is FANTASTIC. I knew it was based in Ireland, from and Irish dev but I was blown away by some smart it is. First person detective game with some super smart time and investigation mechanics. Out in just a few weeks.

Check out the demo. It's seriously wonderful.

It'd be cool if "Live Service" just meant, like, ensuring software won't break on new platforms, not fundamental changes for the helluva it.

Thank you @pocketgamerbiz.bsky.social for this article! ✨

I truly do believe that there's far more people on the side of inclusion than against it, and that gives me hope.

Not just the outfits. Lightning looks like an older version of her sister Serah, not Lightning.

I wouldn't say "bad" games outright. Just more of the ones that score around 5 to 8 out of 10. Not just 9s and 10s.

By merit of just not being well executed: Blood Knights. Oh my word, that was such a silly game.

By merit of I just have far too many issues with despite the experience technically being a functional product: Bioshock Infinite: Burial At Sea Parts 1 & 2. Ugh.
