I hope everyone had a nice Christmas.

Former GamesIndustry.biz journalist Christopher Dring (now contributing to VGC again, you love to see it) says that one of the unexpected upsides to Xbox's Game Pass subscription service, at least for Sony, is that certain additions to the service can have a «strong impact» on PlayStation sales.

Fans of open world games will be spoiled for choice this year on PS5 (assuming nothing is delayed), and another promising example has just joined the pack. Tiny Terry's Turbo Trip is making the move from PC to consoles on 13th February, including PS5.

One of the best-written games ever made, BioShock Infinite was infamously a nightmare to work on. It required a herculean effort to complete «Project Icarus» from everyone at Irrational Games, including creative director and lead writer Ken Levine. A critical and commercial success by every metric, within a year of launch, Irrational Games was gone. 2K Games' decision to shutter the studio shocked the entire industry, including Levine.

The first whispers of a film adaptation of the already cinematic Shadow of the Colossus began in 2010. After several creative reshuffles, The Flash director Andrés Muschietti was hired in 2014. Over a decade later, Muschietti claims it's still happening.

@Th3solution It's a great idea to give certain games another go if there's a remake or a remaster of it. It might have improvements that'll enhance your experience compared to the original. And now that you mention it, it's also a good incentive to play a remake/remaster if you're planning on replaying a game anyway. So for example, I've already played the original RE4 but I haven't played the remake yet. I'd love to replay RE4 and at the same time, I can experience it with a fresh coat of paint. Now that I have this mindset, I don't feel anymore like I've wasted my time playing an older game that's received a remake/remaster.

The Monster Hunter Wilds hype machine is beginning to spin up ahead of the game's full release at the end of February (Capcom is holding two open «beta» sessions in the coming weeks, as well). While we patiently wait, courtesy of IGN's First initiative, we've got not one but two nine-minute gameplay trailers to hold us over in the meantime.

PS5 is expected to outsell the Switch 2 in the United States this year, despite enthusiasm for Nintendo’s new machine reaching fever pitch.

Yoshinori Kitase, the legendary veteran director of Final Fantasy VII, VIII, X, and current producer of the Remake trilogy (fresh off Rebirth), thinks it is time for another adaptation of the iconic universe. As the producer of 2005's excellent CGI action film Advent Children, Kitase would know, and we'd love to see Square Enix return to the well.
