Every single hobby I love has has been infected by slopped up and unserious software. It's exhausting. aftermath.site/ai-slop-hobbie...

I'm also continually perplexed about who the DCU is for... Other than Superman, everything has had nudity, violence, blood and guts, wall-to-wall cursing. I guess the answer is "this is for adults only" but I would love to be able to take my kids, who generally like DC stuff, to another movie.

Final Fantasy Resonance is a spectacular reimagining of a mobile RPG, and a turn-based adventure crafted beyond expectation.

Last week, we checked out an early section of Final Fantasy VII Revelation where Cloud and party traverse the Whirlwind Maze in pursuit of Sephiroth. Our written (and video) report by James Stine:

By @detectivex.bsky.social 's request, posting this edit to bsky. DBS Beerus's opening, but with the 2nd single Megara Zero bundled with the actual song. I think it fits very well (better)

Biddy Blas soon

Star Wars: Galactic Racer reviews are in! "Galactic Racer is a Star Wars game, and that might be enough for some, but not for me. Fortunately, it's an even better racing game." - @gameinformer.com Read more: criticdb.com/games/star-w...

Several weeks ago, Phil Tippett's legendary animation studio in Berkeley, CA closed. An anonymous hero noticed a folder of CDs. This turned out to be hundreds of unseen hi-res images and videos from Star Wars, Robocop, Jurassic Park, etc. ~90 isos for you to browse: archive.org/details/tipp...

Apropos of nothing, here's the callout I wrote for Eurogamer about the glaring lack of female voices in the games media. I wrote this in *2018*. Things did seem to get better for a while but now we're backsliding again and the reasons for it haven't changed. www.eurogamer.net/why-the-game...

Square Enix's recent media blitz for Final Fantasy VII Revelation shared no small number of new details about the trilogy's finale. There's a lot to parse through, so @quinton.bsky.social has assembled what we know so far in the first of our two-part checkpoint:

I am part of this round of layoffs and am seeking new opportunities. If your team needs a narrative director / storyteller, please reach out.

If you want to know what's going to happen to Warner Bros... Look no further than Xbox post Activision merger.

As we finalize the @criticdb.com Wordpress plugin, I'm starting to look for new sites to add (preferably Wordpress to stress-test the tool) to the site. If you're a site that: - Has > 75,000 views/mo - Has > 10-15 game reviews/mo - English language (see below) criticdb.com/site-applica...

A new Final Fantasy VII Revelation trailer highlights the Weapons, massive creatures that Cloud and company will face off against:

Final Fantasy Resonance details more regions, characters, and late game challenges:

A Terranigma port has been announced for 2027 by Clear River Games for PC (Steam/GOG), PlayStation 4&5, Xbox Series X|S, and Nintendo Switch 1&2. Originally developed by Quintet and published by Enix in 1995, the action RPG never officially released in North America. First details:

Via the official English social media account for Kingdom Hearts: reaction to the death of Hayden Panettiere, who voiced the characters 'Kairi' & 'Xion' in the series. Panettiere was 36, best known for her TV & film roles as well as voice acting in games. 🔗Twitter: x.com/KINGDOMHEART...

You'll be able to watch the Kingdom Hearts panel livestream from D23 below, when it airs Aug. 15 @ 4:30pm PT:

Vision Quest looks neat.

An anime series based on Kingdom Hearts is currently in development at Disney. It will feature an original story that will "reimagine the iconic adventure with a brand-new story that will expand the KH universe" and air on Disney Channel & Disney+:

Kingdom Hearts IV will release in Late 2027. A new world was revealed based on the 2017 Disney/Pixar animated film 'Coco'. Catch the trailer here:

Not surprised. Streaming shows are too expensive and Disney finally realized that.

Ally Pankiw (I Used to Be Funny) revealed in an Instagram post that she passed on directing the HBO Harry Potter series. Kate Herron (Loki) revealed in the comments that she passed on directing episodes TWICE. It really is that fucking easy. It's really just that easy.

There’s something in the fog!!! #widowsbay

You couldn't get me to write and publish a post like this after doing what they've done even if you put a gun to my head www.restart.run/articles/wha...

Wouldn't be shocked if many movie and TV projects are now using AI without saying anything.

If you were someone recently laid off in the last few weeks' rounds of games media cuts & had something in the oven half-finished (or GC plans), please get in touch. Especially if it's suitable for @rpgsite.net, but I may be able to move some money around on @respec.net also.

'Deep Dive into Kingdom Hearts' panel at D23 will be streamed on YouTube, Aug. 15 @ 4:30pm PT. Guests incl.: • Nana Gadd (Disney & Pixar Games) • Tai Yasue (KH co-dir. @ SQEX) • Haley Joel Osment (voice of Sora) • David Gallagher (voice of Riku) • Renée Johnson (Disney character voices) 🖼️ Disney

We got the chance to preview a good chunk of Star Wars Zero Company, and were left wanting more. Check out our preview!

I've been covering this industry since dinosaurs & DVRS roamed the earth. It's the worst time I've ever seen in terms of lack of work. And you know what the vast majority are still NOT doing? Working w transphobic bigots. It's surprisingly easy to say NO to that. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise.

Final Fantasy VII Revelation director Naoki Hamaguchi will show "a new look" at the game during gamescom's 'Opening Night Live' show—airing August 25, 2026 at 11:00am Pacific. Flyer: SQEX

There’s an even more sinister angle to Johnny Depp’s ongoing “comeback” tour as the new Scrooge—it’s a Paramount production and part of a slate of Ellison-backed conservative cultural takeover attempts. It’s angled around MeToo rejection and the manosphere. spitfirenews.com/p/johnny-dep...

I'm the artist of the figure, hi! The render is in my pinned. I'm a comms and game design graduate, and hope to work in the game industry, aiming for japan mostly! I'll have more info about the process on my portfolio soon!
