PlayStation VR 2 isn’t here quite yet, but at the very start of 2022 Sony revealed the first detailed specs for the headset.

Way back in 1987 the arcade scene saw the release of the original Street Fighter. For those less than 20 years away from becoming an AARP member (hey, I’m not happy about it either), you may remember it as that big machine with the two pads you had to punch that never worked. Thankfully for the world of gaming, and especially Capcom, its successor, Street Fighter II, changed the video game industry. Now, Capcom is kicking off the series’ birthday bash with a brand new logo for the Street Fighter 35th anniversary.
With a bold 35 emblazoned on the front in the classic Street Fighter style, and some classic Super Turbo-esque font, this new logo is the official start of the series’ year-long celebration. Despite getting off to a rough start with the Capcom Cup being cancelled due to rising COVID-19 cases, there is still more to come from the World Warriors. Although Capcom hasn’t actually said the words “Street Fighter VI” yet, we know that the game h...

Team of the Year season is finally upon us, with EA Sports announcing the TOTY voting for the best 11 in FIFA 22. Here's when TOTY should arrive in FIFA 22.
Sega’s CEO Haruki Satomi has said that the company may ‘experiment’ with NFTs (non fungible tokens) within video games but they are fully aware of the negative reaction from gamers. “If it is perceived as simple money-making, I would like to make a decision not to proceed,” he concludes. Here is the full statement taken from a recent management meeting: In terms of NFT, we would like to try out various experiments and we have already started many different studies and considerations but nothing is decided at this point regarding P2E (*Play-to-Earn: Mean to earn while playing). There have been many announcement about this already including at overseas but there are users who shows negative reactions at this point. We need to carefully assess many things such as how we can mitigate the negative elements, how much we can introduce this within the Japanese regulation, what will be accepted and what will not be by the users. Then, we will consider this further if this leads to our mission “Constantly Creating, Forever Captivating”, but if it is perceived as simple money-making, I would like to make a decision not to proceed. The statement is almost the exact opposite of fellow Japanese publisher Square Enix. Square Enix President Yosuke Matsuda spent a fair chunk of his New Year message explaining that they were ploughing ahead with NFT’s despite gamers clearly stating they don’t want them. “I realize that some people who “play to have fun” and who currently form the majority of players have voiced their reservations toward these new trends, and understandably so,” he said. “However, I believe that there will be a certain number of people whose motivation is to “play to contribute,” by which I mean to help make the game more exciting.” So far every attempt to add NFT’s to games has failed miserably. Ubisoft launched Quartz to try and sell 3,000 NFTs in Ghost Recon Breakpoint but a recent check revealed that despite the NFT’s costing thousands of dollars the company has only sold fifteen with a total value of the sales is about $1800. Other publishers such as Wired have firmly stated that they will not support NFT’s in games and Steam currently bans any games that use them. Source: Sega via Tweaktown
