That said, while there was some modest growth, a closer look at the stats aren’t that encouraging. While the Epic Games Store brought in $840 million overall, only $300 million of that came from third-party games (EGS and it’s launcher is still mainly used for Fortnite). There was one thing that was an undeniable hit on EGS – free games. 765 million weekly free games were downloaded via EGS in 2021, which means that for every free game players downloaded, they only spent around 40 cents actually buying stuff....

Damn, looks like intense stuff, particularly when you know some of the things the game is doing to earn its M rating. Need to know more? Here’s the game’s official description… “Final Fantasy XVI brings players into Valisthea, which is studded with Mothercrystals—glittering mountains of crystal that tower over the realms around them, blessing them with aether. For generations, people have flocked to these beacons to take advantage of their blessing, using the aether to conjure magicks that let them live lives of comfort and plenty....

Speaking to Gamesradar, Final Fantasy XVI producer Naoki Yoshida explained that the increasingly realistic graphics in games is making it harder for some fans to accept the old-school turn-based combat system. It’s definitely a fair point to make. That doesn’t mean Yoshida believes this is the end of turn-based combat in Final Fantasy games, though. He reckons the next game might as well feature pixel graphics and turn-based combat, since the defining feature of the IP is, after all, its ability to completely change between various installments....

In a new PlayStation Blog post, Forspoken lead visual effects artist Ryota Nozoe describes the philosophy behind the creation of the game’s spells. “We put a great deal of time and thought into how we visualise the spells in Forspoken. First and foremost, we wanted to stay away from having things like fire or rocks just suddenly appearing out of nowhere. While that certainly would have been fine, and wouldn’t have caused any issues, doing that felt too expected and boring – especially for a game so focused on magic....

The rating, which can be found on the Korean Game Rating and Administration Committee website, doesn’t reveal much about the game, the fact that it has been rated suggests that a release date announcement could be imminent. With so many high-profile games getting delayed to 2023, such as Bethesda’s Starfield, it is not unlikely that the same could happen to God of War Ragnarok. According to Sony Santa Monica Animation Director Bruno Velasquez, the game is coming this year, but in a recent message from Cory Barlog, it has been revealed that the team is not yet ready to show the game again, so it definitely sounds like things are a little uncertain as of now....
