Persona tragics have been begging for remakes of the first two games in the series for ages (at least, the ones who aren't begging for remakes of the PS2-era Shin Megami Tensei games instead). After thoroughly milking Persona 4 and 5, series producer Kazuhisa Wada said in August, "personally, I think it's something we should definitely do."Now, almost two minutes of footage from what sure looks like a Persona 1...

Part of the problem, according to Sawyer: They're more difficult and costly to make than other RPG environments.Elsewhere in this section, Sawyer cited Baldur's Gate 2's Athkatla, Disco Elysium, and the recent Zero Parades as RPGs that land the plane on...
When Mass Effect 3's beloved multiplayer mode was left out of the Legendary Edition, there was much wailing and gnashing of teeth. Redemption has finally come in the form of the ME3Tweaks modding team, who have spent the last three years quietly working to not only get multiplayer working, but improve it."It's not just a ME3MP port but rather an extensive remaster of the experience," says modder Audemus.

The announcement blog from Jagex reads, "Melvor Idle takes...

Even back then, the long switch to digital was underway, seemingly for good. But what if...
As reported by Kotaku, a near-mythical canceled Valve game called F-Stop has been reconstructed from material contained in separate leaks. Direct access to the build seems a little shaky at the moment, but full playthroughs of the game, like this one by Meme Man? on YouTube, are starting to pop up online.Most of F-Stop's assets came out in this August's Steam "teraleak," but the final pieces—F-Stop's source code and mapsrc...
If you're a fan of first-person shooters and haven't played Selaco, you should.
