Shin Megami Tensei 5 Update Announced, Patch Notes Revealed

"Disappointing news" and "PS3" go together like Ratchet & Clank. Arguably the most disappointing mainline PlayStation console to date, Sony got a lot wrong with the PS3. Only one of these mistakes has haunted Sony well beyond the PS3's years though and that's the architecture of the console. The PS3 boasts a hyper unique architecture that doesn't play nicely with anything. This unique architecture was notoriously hard to develop games for, and since then, it's given Sony a major headache in terms of backward compatibility. Put simply, games built to the architecture of the PS3 aren't easy to get running on other hardware, which is why PS3 backward compatibility has been limited to streaming. There are rumblings this could change in the near future, but it hasn't changed yet.

2022 is a pretty light year for video game releases, though the Nintendo Switch, Nintendo Switch Lite, and Nintendo Switch OLED are still getting some notable games before the end of the year. Between Splatoon 3, Mario Strikers: Battle League, Fire Emblem Warriors: Three Hopes, Pokemon Scarlett and Violet, and Bayonetta 3, there's plenty to look forward to if you're a Nintendo fan. Switch users will also be getting The Lord of the Rings: Gollum this year, but later than everyone else. The game is set to release worldwide on September 1, on every platform minus the Switch. According to Daedalic Entertainment, the Switch version is coming in 2022, but not until later in the year.

Swedish studio Tarsier Studios -- the team best known for Little Nightmares and its sequel Little Nightmares II -- is teasing a new game. The tease comes the way of Twitter and the official account for the studio. As you would expect, everyone in the replies is speculating the game is Little Nightmares 3, but this is unlikely. Not only has Tarsier Studios said it's moving on from the series in the past, but it's now owned by Embracer Group while the IP is owned by Bandai Namco. A third game could be made in the future, but it's unlikely it will be from Tarsier Studios.

A new Assassin's Creed Valhalla update is live on PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series S, Xbox Series X, Google Stadia, and Amazon Luna. Alongside the update, Ubisoft has gone ahead and released patch notes that reveal and detail everything the update has to offer, including a couple of new features and some new content as well.

If you have been waiting for the latest season of DanMachi, you are not alone. The fourth season of Is It Wrong to Pick Up Girl in a Dungeon? has kept fans on edge for a while now. And thanks to a special poster, we have been given a new look at the show.

One heroic My Hero Academia cosplay is really burning the house down with the fiery sidekick Burnin! The fifth season of the anime for Kohei Horikoshi's original manga franchise introduced fans to the Endeavor Agency, the heroes and staff who were working under the new number one hero. This showcased what Izuku Midoriya, Katsuki Bakugo, and Shoto Todoroki could learn under the fiery hero, and at the same time also showed off many of those pros who knew that hero side of him all too well thanks to his roster of close sidekicks who also carried their own fiery related abilities.

One Piece is at the top of its game these days, and we have its Wano saga to thank. While the manga is just about ready to cap its War for Wano, the skirmish has only just begun in the anime. That means Yamato has plenty to do in the show right now, and thanks to one cosplayer, fans can see how the fighter might look if they were brought to our world.

My Hero Academia is setting up for the next phase in the final war between the heroes and villains, and the newest chapter has finally revealed the mysterious villain that actually killed that major pro hero teacher from U.A. High School! The Paranormal Liberation Front War was such a massive shake up for the status quo that even the Final Act of the series is still working through the fallout of that first battle between the heroes and villains. Even more so are the fact that each of the major losses are still very much hanging over the heroes' heads in this final battle too.

One awesome Haikyuu cosplay is really going to the top by taking on Kiyoko Shimizu's best makeover from the original series! Haruichi Furudate's original manga series is celebrating the 10th Anniversary of it first being launched in the pages of Shueisha's Weekly Shonen Jump magazine, and thus fans all over have been hyping up the series all over again despite it being over. With so many characters introduced over the series' run, it can be admittedly pretty difficult to actually figure out which of the characters stands out above the rest as the best or most favorite in the series overall.

The series creator behind Fairy Tail, Hiro Mashima, has definitely gotten fans' attention with some new art honoring Brandish! Fairy Tail's final arcs pit the Fairy Tail guild against the might of the Alvarez Empire, and this had introduced fans to the 12 strongest members of the Empire and their dangerous magics. The most curious of these Spriggan 12 additions was Brandish, whose magic abilities allowed her to shrink things around her in an instant. She was a deadly counter to Lucy Heartfilia thanks to her chillingly calm demeanor, and was really cemented as a fan favorite quickly after her initial debut.

Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba has an army of fans, and over the years, the community has gotten really good at cosplay. From our favorite slayers to the story's worst villains, any character is fair game for fans to makeover. And now, one is going viral thanks to their take on Kyojuro Rengoku.

A new job listing out of Cloud Chamber sheds some light on BioShock 4 -- the Internet's tentative name for the untitled and new BioShock game -- and its gameplay. Unfortunately, the job listing doesn't contain any bombshells, but it does provide fans of the dormant IP what to expect. The job listing is more specifically for a Lead Combat Designer, but interesting the aforementioned tidbits don't have much to do with combat.

My Hero Academia is gearing up to show off one of Spinner's new powers with the newest chapter of the series! The Final Act of the series has been setting the stage for the final battles between the heroes and villains, and now that the newest chapter has settled things between Shoto Todoroki and Dabi, the manga has now revealed a new look at the rest of the battles now breaking out. While fans had gotten a look at the war when it had initially began, the newest update has revealed that this final war is much bigger than it had seemed at first.

Subscription services have majorly changed every facet of the entertainment industry, but games. Between Xbox Game Pass, the new PlayStation Plus, and more, it looks like that may finally be changing. And as it does, many are warning that it's not going to be a positive change for the industry. The most notable of these people is former Microsoft executive Ed Fries, who helped release the original Xbox back in 2004.

Xbox users across Xbox One, Xbox Series S, and Xbox Series X can buy one of the Xbox 360's most controversial games again after 12 years. The Xbox 360 is Microsoft's best-selling console of all time, and it's not even close. And it's been the only Xbox console to give its PlayStation counterpart a run for its money. It did this with a plethora of great exclusives and timed exclusives ranging from the Gears of War series to Mass Effect. Beyond exclusivity, there was generally a large collection of great games and new IP during that console generation. Like every generation though, there were also some stinkers, such as Sonic the Hedgehog, more commonly known as Sonic '06.

A new leak associated with Xbox Game Pass has revealed ahead of time when the service will be adding two new titles from publisher Ubisoft. A little over a month ago, Ubisoft itself announced that it would soon be partnering with Xbox to bring both For Honor and Assassin's Creed Origins to the subscription service at some point in the future. And while no further details regarding this collab have since come to light, it now seems that we know when each game will land on Game Pass.
