Katana ZERO ENDING Walkthrough Gameplay Part 5

I finish up my playthrough of Katana ZERO! I absolutely loved playing through this, even though it frustrated the hell out of me more than a few times (; Cannot wait for Katana ZERO 2 or Katana ONE. My favorite part was the aesthetic even though I’m not a huge fan of platformers nor pixel-art. But this one drew me in from the get-go and is one of my favorites. The story is a little weird and ends pretty abruptly, but I also really was fascinated by it. Thanks to those of you who watched all the way through to see the ending out!

GameStop Offering 48hr Grace Period On Returns For Full In-Store Credit, Starting With Days Gone

Will the ‘Guaranteed to Love It’ promo save GameStop?

A day after the new CEO, George Sherman, stepped into his new position, the video game retailer of new and used games is offering a brand new promotion. 

Titled “Guaranteed to Love It”, the program is allowing customers, starting with Days Gone releasing April 25th, 2019, to trade their game back in within 48 hours of purchase for full, in-store credit. It is currently unclear whether or not if every title following the release of Days Gone will be included or if only the standard edition of games will eligible for trade-in for full in-store credit. GameStop said in a statement to Polygon:

"True to our core promise, today’s announcement is a testament that GameStop is committed to giving power to the players — and our ‘Guaranteed to Love It’ trade promotion offers our customers the peace and mind of buying video games inside our retail stores at no risk, beginning with Days Gone next week." 

It will be intriguing to see how this affects GameStop’s sales as they reported a  a net loss of $673 million for the entire 2018 fiscal year. Will this create more loyalty and bring in more gamers to expand their base? I, personally, think this could be a great benefit for gamers but I’m unsure on how this will positively affect GameStop’s bottom line in the long-run.

Sony Reveals Next-Gen Console Details

Details on the next-gen console from Sony (PS5) have emerged and don’t worry, you’ll still be able to play your PS4 games as well as your current PSVR!

From an exclusive by Wired, details on the next-generation console from Sony, probably the PlayStation 5, have been announced. One of the biggest nuggets of information to come from this release is that all PS4 games will be backwards compatible on the PS5, so you don’t have to worry about any PS4 game being locked on that console. In addition to this, the console’s  CPU and GPU both have been beefed up to increase graphics, system memory, and speed of the system. According to the Wired exclusive,

The CPU is based on the third generation of AMD’s Ryzen line and contains eight cores of the company’s new 7nm Zen 2 microarchitecture. The GPU, a custom variant of Radeon’s Navi family, will support ray tracing, a technique that models the travel of light to simulate complex interactions in 3D environments. While ray tracing is a staple of Hollywood visual effects and is beginning to worm its way into $10,000 high-end processors, no game console has been able to manage it. Yet.

Another detail emerging and what Mark Cerny, lead designer and programmer on the next-gen console, calls “a true game-changer,” and “the key to the next generation.” That being the hard drive. The bigger a game is, the longer it takes for the system to access and load that information from the hard drive. With the new and improved SSD coming in the next-gen console, it takes advantage of its power to improve speeds in-game. Described in the Wired article,

To demonstrate, Cerny fires up a PS4 Pro playing Spider-Man, a 2018 PS4 exclusive that he worked on alongside Insomniac Games. (He’s not just an systems architect; Cerny created arcade classic Marble Madness when he was all of 19 and was heavily involved with PlayStation and PS2 franchises like Crash Bandicoot, Spyro the Dragon, and Ratchet and Clank.) On the TV, Spidey stands in a small plaza. Cerny presses a button on the controller, initiating a fast-travel interstitial screen. When Spidey reappears in a totally different spot in Manhattan, 15 seconds have elapsed. Then Cerny does the same thing on a next-gen devkit connected to a different TV. (The devkit, an early “low-speed” version, is concealed in a big silver tower, with no visible componentry.) What took 15 seconds now takes less than one: 0.8 seconds, to be exact.

That’s a significant improvement for sure. Those increased speeds also make it easier and smoother for players to move around in big, open-world games with increased rendering times. This will truly be an upgrade for the next-gen console. 

PSVR was touched on during the exclusive as well. While Cerny didn’t go into too many details, he did say that “the current PSVR headset is compatible with the new console.” These improvements on the internals of the console might suggest that a PSVR sequel could come in the future, though.

No details on price or release date were touched on, outside of that you won’t see the console being released anytime in 2019. Most speculation points to a 2020 release window for the next-gen PlayStation console. Whenever anything more is announced, be sure to check back here for the latest updates!

Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order Revealed, Teaser Trailer Debut

The new Respawn developed Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order was unveiled this weekend at Star Wars Celebration in Chicago, IL.

Fans finally got to witness the first look along with details about the new Star Wars game, Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order, which debuted this weekend at Star Wars Celebration in Chicago, IL. Details on the game aren’t too abundant currently, but we still have a pretty good idea of what the base game is.

Playable on November 15, 2019 on Xbox, PS4, and PC (via EA Origins), players will be taken through an extensive, single-player exclusive story of the protagonist, Cal Kestis. Cal is a Jedi Padawan in hiding as the story takes place during the time when the Jedi were being wiped out from Order 66. It is described as a third-person action game that will not feature any multiplayer or microtransactions as well as be combat heavy. 

A trailer was released during the panel at Star Wars Celebration, check it out below!
