Few MMORPGs last as long as Final Fantasy XI, which celebrated its 20th anniversary in May. 20 years of active service is a monumental achievement for any online game, but especially one built upon the hardcore design of pre-World of Warcraft MMOs that remains strictly subscription-based. And yet, Final Fantasy XI shows no signs of stopping any time soon, even as Square Enix's other MMO, the award-winning Final Fantasy XIV, continues to rise in popularity. In fact, Final Fantasy XI's player base has grown in the last few years, and until recently it was Square Enix's most-profitable Final Fantasy game (a title Final Fantasy XIV now holds as of 2021 ). In the months leading up to the 20th anniversary celebration, Final Fantasy XI even received all-new gameplay systems like the new Master Levels for post-game players, and the ongoing "Voracious Resurgence" questline, which is the first new story content the game has seen in years. To get more insight into Final Fantasy XI's … [Read more...] about Final Fantasy XI At 20: Devs On Coexisting With XIV, Classic Servers, And Its Lasting Influence

Steam Summer Sale 2022 is live with savings on Neon White, V Rising, and more
The Steam Summer Sale 2022 is live with a ton of discounts on new games for 2022 as well as some you might've missed in years past. The list of games on discount includes some that just recently launched to near universal acclaim, like the heart-pounding game of many genres, Neon White, and the retro brawler Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder's Revenge. Two very different games for different crowds, but both have been very well received and both are on discount right now on Steam. There are also some games on sale that might've slipped past your radar, whether that's due to Elden Ring's gluttonous shadow or an out-of-control backlog (yeah, sorry about that). For example, Ghostwire Tokyo might not have been an instant buy at the full $60-70, but we found a lot to love in its spooky, Yokai-filled vision of modern Tokyo and its surprisingly tragic side quests . At half price for Steam's Summer sale, it's absolutely worth checking out. As we said at the start, the … [Read more...] about Steam Summer Sale 2022 is live with savings on Neon White, V Rising, and more

Sonic Origins Developer “Very Unhappy” About The Remastered Game’s Current State
One of Sonic Origins' developers expressed frustration with Sega, alleging that Sega "made major modifications to the build" Headcannon submitted--resulting in "wild bugs." Simon Thomley from Headcannon took to Twitter to communicate the dev team's unhappiness with the game's final version. Thomley said they acknowledge the build given to Sega wasn't perfect, but stated "what is in Origins is also not what we turned in." Thomley went on to explain the development situation, saying it was a major time crunch and that the studio was not allowed to make major fixes. "We asked to do major fixes near submission, but weren't allowed due to submission and approval rules," Thomley wrote. "We asked about delays early and repeatedly but were told they weren't possible." This is frustrating. I won't lie and say that there weren't issues in what we gave to Sega, but what is in Origins is also not what we turned in. Integration introduced some wild bugs that conventional logic would … [Read more...] about Sonic Origins Developer “Very Unhappy” About The Remastered Game’s Current State
