Wait, most people have PCs in their bedrooms?

Haha what According toan informal surveypublished by Valve (consisting of over 2,000 participants) to research VR viewing habits, most people have their PCs in their bedroom. The next most popular option is the living room, and after that, an office. Additionally, 42% of those surveyed will not upgrade their PC specifically for VR, 34% will upgrade, and 20% will get an entirely new machine for it. I’m trying to think of pretty much anyone in my life who games on PC and can only come up with one person who has their rig in their bedroom....

Yaga is a charming action-RPG take on Slavic folklore

It beat hundreds of games to win the Nordic Discovery Contest Mythology, folklore, and video games go so well together. If I didn’t already hold that opinion, thenYaga, an upcoming action-RPG drawing from Slavic culture and stories, would’ve shown me the light. InYaga, you play a blacksmith caught between the competing desires of the greedy Tzar andBaba Yaga. You’ll fight creatures, help villagers, and make your way through an “adaptive” narrative....

Yakuza’s Ichiban Kasuga is an awesome dude, and his story may have only just begun

New hero filled some mighty large snakeskin shoes Back when Destructoid nominated itsfavorite new characters of 2020, I talked aboutYakuza: Like a Dragon‘s hapless hero, Ichiban Kasuga. Nobody but nobody, it would’ve seemed, could successfully fill the role of long-termYakuzaprotagonist Kazuma Kiryu — one of the coolest, likable, and most beloved protagonists in Sega’s, nay, ingaminghistory. But, somehow, new boy Kasuga hit the ground running, masterfully blending stoicism, bravery, pathos, heroism, and just the right amount of complete and utter idiocy to immediately win the hearts of theYakuzafaithful....

Hopefully the same for the west There’s not a ton of games based on movies or anime that turn out great, butAttack on Titanis one of the few exceptions.

Capcom’s Remember Me gets new gameplay trailer

Something about it being memorable or not RememberRemember Me? It’s that game from Capcom everybodydecided was crap already. Well, here’s some new gameplay footage in a “late Christmas present” of a trailer. Looks pretty promising, in my humblest of opinions. Certainly has shades of Deus Ex in terms of style, and the combat/environmental traversal looks like nothing we haven’t seen before, but that doesn’t mean it can’t be a quality title....
