The Eternal Life of Goldman looks like a movie you might have watched as a child. However, it is actually a new game set to be released on Steam.
What kind of game is it? The Eternal Life of Goldman is a platform adventure by Weappy Games, the creators of This Is The Police 1 & 2 and Rebel Cops. The game will be available for PC on Steam as well as for PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and Nintendo Switch.
The game weaves legends, fables, and myths into a story that transports the old Goldman to a hand-drawn archipelago. There, you need to find and defeat a mysterious deity.
In a video lasting about 8 minutes, the developers already show some initial gameplay. This comes from a demo version that was showcased at gamescom 2024.

The Eternal Life of Goldman: First Gameplay from the Hand-Drawn Platformer on Steam
What does the gameplay show? At first glance, The Eternal Life of Goldman looks like a classic 2D platformer. You move across the screen from left to right and must avoid various obstacles along the way.
The walking stick will likely be one of your most important tools. With it, you can grab onto rings or pull on them, creating new platforms or allowing your character to be carried over abysses. These mechanics can also be used in boss fights.
A game like an old cartoon
What makes the game so special? The probably biggest uniqueness of the game is its graphic style, reminiscent of old cartoons or animes. Everything – scenery, colors, animations – is drawn the old-fashioned way, frame by frame, and brought to life, the developers say.
Some of the creatures shown could easily come straight from a Ghibli film: like the tutorial ghosts that turn into text panels. The overall look of the game exudes pure nostalgia, from the individual designs of the characters to the drawing style as a whole.
The developers of the space MMORPG EVE Online have announced a new game. EVE Frontiers, according to the developers, relies on blockchain technology and will allow players to change the game.
What is EVE Frontiers? EVE Frontiers is the latest game from the studio behind the MMORPG EVE Online and was announced last year as Project Awakening. CCP, a subsidiary of the Black Desert Online creators Pearl Abyss, announced the survival MMO today with a trailer.
The game is set to be released soon for PC and Mac. The so-called founders will have first access. There is currently no specific date for the founder release or an official release. What is primarily known so far is that EVE Frontier will be based on blockchain technology and will once again take place in the EVE universe.

The official teaser for the new game in the EVE Online universe
The first MMO that can be server-side modded
What is Blockchain? Blockchain is essentially an expandable list of records. Later additions can build on earlier entries and verify them as correct. Thus, the entries are considered very secure, as no content or things can be manipulated or deleted without destroying further modifications.
Why does EVE Frontier rely on Blockchain? In an interview with PC Gamer, CCP CEO Hilmar Pétursson states that the idea behind EVE Frontier is that it is the first MMO that can be server-side modded by players.
EVE Frontier is to take place on a single large server, rather than on multiple different ones, as is common these days for online multiplayer games. The world of the game hosted on this server will ultimately allow players to permanently change it through the blockchain technology used.
But not only the game world is supposed to be customizable: Creating your own currencies and systems should also be possible.
What does server-side modding mean?
Mods are usually additional contents created by other players for games. For example, in Baldur’s Gate 3 you can download tons of new hairstyles as well as clothing, classes, and balancing adjustments. The same goes for Final Fantasy XIV. However, these mods are only visible to you on your screen. Other players – whether in co-op in Baldur’s Gate 3 or in a raid in Final Fantasy XIV – do not see this.
Server-side modding, on the other hand, means that the changes you bring into the game will also apply to all other players. The game will thus be permanently changed by your modification.
Is this a classic blockchain game? The CCP CEO firmly emphasizes to PC Gamer that EVE Frontier is not a blockchain game with cryptocurrencies and NFTs. His game is not a blockchain game, but a game that uses blockchain.
Many players are already showing frustration with the long development time of Star Citizen. Now, a report is circulating that, if proven true, could negatively impact the development of the sci-fi MMO once again.
What is this report about? Developer Cloud Imperium Games is said to have initiated a trademark application for a new project. Apparently, the application was already submitted in June, for a game called Soulsinger, which is classified as an “Online Massively Multiplayer Videogame”.
Unfortunately, the trademark application discovered by players on trademarks.justia.com does not reveal many further details. There are supposed to be online services that allow for gaming tournaments, as well as a fictional universe.
Is CIG not currently working on just Star Citizen and Squadron 42? Here is the trailer for the second game:
Start video

The rumor mill is churning
What is being speculated online? Currently, a Discord post is circulating via imgur.com, sharing alleged further details about Soulsinger, supposedly sourced from an internal, anonymous source:
Soulsinger is said to possibly use the Star Engine and become a game with a fantasy setting
In a meeting, the game was reportedly just presented recently. Currently, only a small team is supposedly working on Soulsinger, directed by Tony Zurovec (the director of the persistent universe of Star Citizen).
Without official confirmation, of course, you should take these rumors with caution.
How does the Star Citizen community react to the news? On Reddit, the rumors and hints are already being hotly debated. Many view a potential third project at Cloud Imperium Games with concern or frustration.
THUORN complains (via Reddit): “Using money intended for one purpose secretly for something else is classic behavior from CR and Friends. That’s why MS kicked him [editor’s note: CIG head Chris Roberts is meant here] out of his last game project. And it’s the reason why he got booted from the film business. The buddy is simply a fraud.”
Snugrilla takes it with sarcasm (via Reddit): “They said: Hey, we made three-quarters of a billion dollars because we haven’t finished our first two games. What if we don’t finish a third game?”
PopeofShrek vaguely remembers (via Reddit): “Haven’t there been a few other scam MMOs with Kickstarter roots that did that?”
Some of you may know one of the possible answers to this question. Think of Camelot Unchained, which was stalled for a while after a long development time so that they could use the collected crowdfunding money to develop the mediocre co-op hero action slasher Final Stand: Ragnarok.
How can you briefly explain the premise of Lollipop Chainsaw to someone? Maybe like this: “Cheerleader slices up trash-talking zombies with a chainsaw and a ton of weird shit happens.” If that sounds appealing to you, the recently released remaster for Steam and the new consoles might interest you.
What kind of game is it? Lollipop Chainsaw RePop is a remaster of the hack & slash game Lollipop Chainsaw, which was released in 2012 for PS3 and Xbox 360. The remaster was created by Dragami Games in collaboration with developers of the original.
Lollipop Chainsaw RePop was released on September 12, 2024, for PC on Steam, PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and Nintendo Switch.
We will show you the release trailer here:
Start video
Lollipop Chainsaw RePop: The Release Trailer for the Remaster of the Cult Game on Steam and Consoles
What is the game about? You once again take on the role of Juliet, an 18-year-old cheerleader with a penchant for lollipops who belongs to a family of zombie hunters. Her weapon of choice is a chainsaw that she swings like a baseball bat.
One day, Juliet is greeted by her schoolmates on her way to high school, all of whom have been transformed into zombies. From this point on, the game becomes even more absurd, the characters wackier, and the humor more crude.
By the way, the story comes from the pen of James Gunn. He has made a name for himself mainly through his work on Guardians of the Galaxy and is currently working on the DC Universe.
Violent representations are replaced by glitter
What’s new in the remaster? Lollipop Chainsaw RePop offers 4K support and 60 FPS on PC and the new consoles. The Switch version runs in Full HD and at 30 FPS. Additionally, we can expect shorter loading times and further improvements to the game.
with the right stick, you can now look around better
the developers have improved the button input, making it easier to execute combos
attack speed increases with the number of consecutive hits
All characters move faster
For those who find the depiction of violence in the game a bit much or want something new, the new RePop mode replaces blood with colorful glitter effects and hearts. A detailed list of all changes can be found at repop.lollipopchainsaw.com, the official website for the game.
How is the game being received? Out of only 114 user reviews on Steam, 78 percent are positive. Many players complain about the lack of graphics options, even though they enjoy the game. Currently, only the resolution can be changed.
With a standard price of 44.99 euros, the remaster is not cheap either. So if you really want to catch up on the game on PC, you might want to wait for further updates or a sale.
Annapurna Interactive is currently struggling. All 25 employees are said to have submitted their resignations. Nevertheless, the company is trying to maintain contracts with its partner studios.
Why did the resignations happen? The head of Annapurna Interactive, Nathan Gary, was in negotiations with the founder of Annapurna, Megan Ellison. He demanded that the gaming division of the company be spun off to become independent. However, Ellison withdrew from the negotiations.
What was the result? As a consequence, Gary resigned from his position. All other team members, including the co-leads of the department, joined him in resigning. They revealed to Bloomberg together:
All 25 members of the Annapurna Interactive team have resigned together. This was one of the hardest decisions we have ever had to make, and we did not take this decision lightly.
Annapurna Interactive has become known for games like Stray. Check out the trailer for the game here:

Stray: The launch trailer for the game
Annapurna Interactive must sort itself out after mass resignations
What happens next? While negotiations were still ongoing, Annapurna Interactive had already hired former Epic Games manager Hector Sanchez and Paul Doyle. They were brought on as heads of interactive and new media, as well as head of strategy. After Gary’s departure, Sanchez has taken over the leadership.
Sanchez is said to have spoken with all affected partner developers this week, assuring them that existing contracts would continue. All employees who resigned are to be replaced:
Our top priority is to support our developer and publishing partners during this transition. We are committed not only to our existing games but also to expanding our presence in the interactive space, as we continue to look for opportunities to pursue a more integrated approach to linear and interactive storytelling across film and television, games, and theater.
What is Annapurna Interactive known for? The game publisher has specialized in distributing indie games, many of which are award-winning. Some of the studio’s most well-known titles include:
Stray
What Remains of Edith Finch
Outer Wilds
Journey
Solar Ash
Neon White
The publisher was founded about seven years ago. If Annapurna Interactive can indeed manage to replace the entire workforce, it could be that the mass resignations remain without consequences for the company.
Since the release of Diablo 4, fans have been wondering: Is there actually a secret cow level? It has not yet been found, but the search for it has kept tens of thousands of users occupied for months. Now they are facing a preliminary end, but it looks like it will continue soon.
Blizzard firmly claims that there is no cow level, but that is of course not true. Even in Diablo 4, there are already initial steps towards the cow level.
What is already known: After months of hard work and active exchanges on Reddit, as well as a Discord created specifically for the cow level hunt, the treasure hunters are currently facing unsolvable puzzles.
The current status of the search for the cow level is:
You need to obtain lucky coins, which you can only get if you find a special world event under the effect of a greed shrine where a demon kills a villager. You can then loot the corpse for the coin.
After that, you need 4 teammates, as every class must be represented once. Each player needs a coin, which you then take turns throwing into the well. A small event follows with fire from the sky, and everyone receives a Ring of Misfortune.
For the next steps, the Spiritborn is probably required:
Start video
Diablo 4: The trailer for the first new class, the Spiritborn from Vessel of Hatred
Vessel of Hatred brings new items and secret quests
Here, data miners found five new items that are obviously related to the cow level in the data. Additionally, there seems to be a new item, the “Luckier Coin,” a coin for even more luck. What exactly these items are for is still unknown.
In the “Not Finding A Cow Level” Discord, there are also two new finds. Experts have found clues to quests and some descriptions in the data:
A secret quest apparently leads even deeper into the cow cave (“Level 2”). How to get there is still unknown, but one user suspects that if a Spiritborn throws a 6th coin into the well, the portal will open.
There should be a way to travel to the bottom of the wish well through a portal. Allegedly, there is a skeleton there.
Somewhere in the new content there should also be another ring hidden, the “Ring of the Jinx,” roughly translated: Ring of Hexing or Ring of Pranks. The ring destroys items around you.
The skeleton in the well is particularly interesting because texts have already been found here. The deceased apparently wanted to warn readers and writes that one should not do what he did: hunting “vermin” and something with Nahantu, the new region from Vessel of Hatred.
Detective Conan now has over 1,100 episodes. In many of these episodes, there is a character whose appearance we do not know. The character has reached the point where there is now a separate anime series about them – even in Germany.
Which character is it? In almost all episodes where the identity of the perpetrator is still unknown, a black silhouette appears instead. This does not reveal who is behind the crime committed in the episode.
The perpetrator almost always looks the same.
The perpetrator is completely cloaked in black and has no distinctive features:
The body shape is always the same, regardless of the perpetrator’s gender and size. There have only been isolated cases where female breasts were suggested.
With several suspects, the perpetrators differ in body shape and speech.
Thus, he gives no hint of the criminal. The viewer has the perspective of Detective Conan and must also puzzle over who is behind the crimes. The silhouette creates tension in many cases and has a menacing aura.
The idea for the perpetrator figure was taken by Gosho Aoyama from the manga The Kindaichi Case Files, as he once revealed. However, the creepy figure has now made it so far that there is a separate spin-off about it.
The latest movie about Detective Conan has just recently been in theaters:
Start video
Detective Conan Movie 27: The 1-Million-Dollar Pentagram – The 2nd Teaser in German
The perpetrator from Detective Conan has its own anime series
What kind of series is this? Detective Conan: The Culprit Hanzawa is an anime series with 12 episodes, each episode lasting only 10 minutes. It is more of a parody of Detective Conan, in which you can experience the everyday life of the perpetrator figure in the crime-ridden city of Beika.
Thus, the perpetrator has their morning routine, works as a cashier, and in the meantime plans new murders. Several characters from the main series appear as well. However, the spin-off is not from the pen of Detective Conan creator Gosho Aoyama, but from Mayuko Kanba.
Where can I watch the series? The complete anime can be watched in Germany on Netflix. You just need an active subscription with the streaming service to watch the series. Alternatively, you can purchase the accompanying manga volumes. The 9th volume is supposed to be released in October 2024.
To give you an overview of which anime streaming services are available in Germany, MeinMMO has put together a suitable overview. There, you can find out what costs you will incur with each provider: Anime Streaming in Germany: Which provider is right for me?

The loot shooter The First Descendant is extensively played by many players. Some even bought a new mouse because their character suddenly stopped shooting. Now the community has discovered that the problem is not with the hardware at all.
Do you know this? You play The First Descendant as a Bunny or another character with a skill that continuously drains MP, you are in the middle of a fight, but suddenly your character stops shooting, no matter how hard you press your mouse?
This phenomenon happens to various players repeatedly in The First Descendant, even though it seems hard to trigger intentionally. Most players’ first thought is a hardware failure of the mouse, but as it turns out, that’s not the case. Instead, it is a bug.
Here you can see the trailer for Season 1 of The First Descendant:
Start video
The First Descendant presents Season 1 in the trailer
A Bug, Not a Hardware Problem
How did the players find this out? While players have occasionally complained about the problem on social media, no post had become well-known enough to find like-minded individuals. However, this was achieved on Facebook, and the post spread from there over Reddit.
In the comments, many players find the post to be like a salvation. Most believed that their mouse was broken. Some, like Reddit user uaua3 even bought a new mouse to fix the error: “This happened to me too. I thought my mouse was no longer registering clicks. I now have a new mouse, same problem. It’s the game.”
Where does the error come from? The exact reason for the error is not known. Players jointly noted that it occurs mainly with Bunny when the ability “Speed of Light” is active. But other characters are also affected.
The users speculated a bit and were at least able to narrow down the error. The problem seems to occur particularly frequently when characters use a skill that continuously drains MP. However, what exactly causes it is not entirely clear.
Can you fix the error yourself? Not really. You only have the option to not play a character with such abilities or to release and press the mouse button again. Then your weapon should fire again.

On September 11, 2024, the new update for Lost Ark was released, bringing players both bliss and despair.
What does the update bring? You can expect a new 16-player raid against Behemoth, as well as new quests, some general additions, and many events. The complete patch notes can be found on the following page. Prior to that, MeinMMO summarizes the highlights for you.
Lost Ark received a strong boss that will push players to their limits without proper preparation and transcendence. The crux of the misery is that you will receive the necessary materials from Behemoth to master weapon transcendence.
By defeating Behemoth, you will unlock weapon transcendence that will enhance you significantly. However, this does not deter players. Many are excited to take on the new challenge.

Lost Ark also for mobile? See for yourself with this trailer:

Lost Ark Mobile – Teaser from G-Star 2023
What do I need to know about the Behemoth raid? The dragon is supposed to be manageable at item level 1,620, as the raid has been slightly simplified compared to the Korean version. Nevertheless, Behemoth is a tough nut that should not be underestimated. After the first day, some have already dared to face the new raid.
H3PPYx wrote (via Reddit): “The thing is, many 1,620 players rush into Behemoth without doing transcendence, it is also possible without, but it is difficult.”
Puddinginging says (via Reddit): “We did it on day one, but it seems very difficult below 1,630 at the moment.”
Kuki1537 says (via Reddit): “With the right 1,620 gear and full elixirs / transcendence / good gems, as well as some rounds of experience, it should work. However, most who attempt do not meet these requirements. I am not saying that the raid wouldn’t benefit from being easier, but it’s not that it’s impossible at item level. People just forget that you really should pump at minimal item level to succeed. Which is kind of hard when you are not used to the boss yet.”
What’s coming with the update
What else does the September update include? Aside from the heavy raid boss and weapon transcendence, you can expect some enjoyable events where you can rack up many rewards. Mokoko fans, take note: The “Blooming Mokoko” event is back and brings you more Bound Gold than ever before.
What’s next for Lost Ark? On October 9, 2024, the new endgame class 4 will be released with many innovations, such as the fortress Kenuart, the continent North-Kurzan, and the new hack-and-slash content Kurzan-Frontline. So you should start preparing now, which the current events will help you with.

Today, on September 12, 2024, the new expansion Land of the Morning Light: Seoul for Black Desert is released. You can expect challenging boss fights, detailed recreations of Korean regions, and much more.
What do I need to know about Land of the Morning Light: Seoul? The new expansion of Black Desert is released on September 12, 2024, for PC, building on the hugely successful add-on Land of the Morning Light from last year and takes you to the second half of the Asian-inspired continent.
The main features of Land of the Morning Light: Seoul include:
The continuation of the story from Land of the Morning Light and a reunion with various familiar characters from the previous expansion.
8 longer quest lines in which you can make smaller decisions to influence the respective ending. You can expect a mix of political intrigue and Asian folklore, as if the series (or the movie or the book) “Shogun” and the classic “A Chinese Ghost Story” had a child.
10 new instanced bosses that you can challenge as a 5-player group on two difficulty levels to climb the related leaderboard and earn special loot. At launch, 6 of the bosses will be available, with the remaining ones following gradually.
4 new world bosses spread across the new region.
New “Lord” weapons that not only can be upgraded but also customized with up to five different enhancement effects (and visually).
There is a new estate that you can earn.
The trailer for the new expansion of Black Desert – Land of the Morning Light: Seoul:

Hits for bosses and love for guilds
How can I earn loot for the entire guild? The aforementioned instanced boss fights were part of the “Black Shrine,” which was introduced last year with Land of the Morning Light. Until now, challenges there were aimed at solo players. The new adversaries, however, target 5-player groups.
If you want to have fun with four guildmates instead of random dudes, you can look forward to additional rewards, not for yourself, but for the entire guild. The more internal guild groups your community can inspire for the “Black Shrine,” the more loot you can expect – an exciting concept!
What else is special about the new expansion? Similar to the previous expansion, the Korean developers at Pearl Abyss are using the opportunity to bring you a little closer to Korean heritage through the setting. They collaborated with the Cultural Heritage Administration to recreate famous places like the majestic Gyeongbokgung Palace in the game.
The Gyeongbokgung Palace in Black Desert.The Gyeongbokgung Palace from Korea.
How beginner-friendly is the Seoul expansion? Unlike Land of the Morning Light from last year, the freshly released expansion will not bring another starting point for beginners. The opposite is even true: If you want to play the new Seoul quests, you must have mastered the main quests of the last addon (up to the quest “A Hint at the Truth”).
Moreover, the new challenges are aimed at characters level 56 or higher and a certain equipment quality. The most challenging difficulty of the new “Black Shrine” bosses will likely make even experienced veterans sweat.
What does the further schedule look like? Still in September, the new class awakening of the Dosa should be introduced, which fits perfectly into the Asian setting of the expansion with its focus on “Yin and Yang” gameplay.
As soon as possible, the Dehkia lanterns will also follow at Tier Level 2, which you can use to upgrade selected monster zones for grinding. Tier 2 will be significantly more challenging than the already available Tier 1 lanterns.
Finally, there should also be a management system for the palace in the new regions, based on nodes that will once again be connected to the production chains from crafting and trading between players.
Important: Like previous expansions, Land of the Morning Light: Seoul is also available for free download to all owners of Black Desert. On Steam, you can secure the MMORPG for just under a Euro until September 19. Whether Black Desert is worth it at all in 2024, you can find out here.

With Space Marine 2, a new action game for Warhammer 40k was launched just a few days ago, and the debut has been quite successful. Only a small annoyance clouds the joy over high player numbers and good ratings.
What is this annoyance? Anyone who buys and installs Space Marines 2 on Steam automatically gets the online services from the major competitor Epic Games on their hard drive. This does not sit well with parts of the community for several reasons:
This automation or compulsion is not communicated or explained on the Steam product page of Space Marines 2. You only notice it when a corresponding window opens during the installation routine.
Many players want to install as few platforms and launchers as possible and actively avoid the Epic Games Store and its associated launcher.
Additionally, initial explanations from publisher Focus and Epic Games cause confusion instead of providing clarity.
Space Marine 2 is a crisp, bloodily staged action fest – here is the trailer:

Der Launch-Trailer zu Space Marine 2, dem neuen Koop-Shooter in Warhammer 40k
Crossplay is to blame
What does the publisher Focus say? In the forum, those responsible explain that they have noticed the concerned feedback regarding the installation of the Epic Online Services. This was implemented to support crossplay between the two platforms Steam and Epic and to be able to synchronize the friends lists of the two stores.
It further states (via community.focus-entmt.com): “Please note, however, that linking your Steam and Epic accounts is not necessary to enjoy the game. These features are completely optional and will not affect your gaming experience in any way.”
What does Epic have to say about it? A representative from Epic Games explained to eurogamer.net:
Cross-play across all PC stores is a requirement of the Epic Games Store for all multiplayer games to ensure players and friends can play together, regardless of where they purchase their games. Developers are free to choose solutions that meet this requirement, including Epic Online Services, which may require a second installation to enable the social overlay (friends lists, cross-platform invitations, etc.) on PC.
According to pcgamer.com, this requirement has been in place since 2023, and according to steamdb.info, nearly 1,000 games on Steam are currently using Epic Online Services – including games like Elden Ring, Palworld, Hogwarts Legacy, and Hades.
If you are now also wondering why pure single-player experiences like Hogwarts Legacy and Hades appear here: The Epic Online Services also handle features like cross-save, anti-cheat, analytics, and more. Additionally, these services can be used when a game utilizes Epic’s Unreal Engine.
Are Epic Online Services now mandatory or not? In response to an angry critique on Steam, a developer from Space Marines 2 finally gives the crucial hint: Those who do not want the Epic services on their computer can uninstall them quite easily through Control Panel / Programs and Features.
However, note that in that case, no crossplay will be possible with players who are not playing on Steam, and this affects not only Space Marines 2 but also all other games that rely on Epic Online Services. If you want to dive deeper, check out dev.epicgames.com.
How well is Space Marines 2 received? On metacritic.com, the action title currently holds a score of 81 to 83 across all platforms, with a user score of 8.0. Steam users have given “Very Positive” in more than 41,000 reviews, with 80 percent positive reviews. The peak on Steam stands at a strong 225,690 concurrent players.
Currently, more than 160,000 Steam users are simultaneously playing Space Marines 2. Of course, this also includes Epic and console players. Note that some buyers are complaining about technical issues and bugs.

The character Deacon St. John from Days Gone for PS4 and Steam has probably become dear not only to his fans but also to his developer. Recently, the developer has been upset that “Deek” seems to only be good for advertising.
What advertisement is being talked about? The new PlayStation game Astro Bot has brought over 150 characters from the best PlayStation games into its world. Among them is also Deacon St. John, short “Deek”, from the zombie game Days Gone.
To celebrate the release of Astro Bot, the developer studio Bend Studio, which is behind Days Gone, published a post on X.com. In it, they congratulate the developers of Astro Bot on the release of the game and share a cute piece of artwork showing the Days Gone character “Deek” looking at two robot dogs playing with a water ball.
Here you can see the post from the developer studio:

The post, which can partly be seen as advertising for Astro Bot, does not evoke joy in all those involved. The developer of “Deek” actually finds the post really stupid.
Here you can see the trailer for Astro Bot:
Start video
The new trailer for Astro Bot shows many old acquaintances from PlayStation in a crazy platformer
Deek is only good for advertising other games
Who is upset about this? The former creative director of Bend Studio, John Garvin, thinks the advertising for Astro Bot is not good. He shared the post on X.com from his former employer with the message: “Somewhat sad that Deek only advertises for other games… well done, Bend Studio! This is how you protect your legacy!”
However, the fans of Days Gone find his reaction out of line. @Gabrieljesusyt writes on X.com: “Calm down, my brother. Just because Sony doesn’t have the prestige to produce Days Gone 2 doesn’t mean you have to be so harsh on the whole studio. […]”
Others also criticize that Garvin should actually be happy that one of his characters made it into the game, as this is considered the 30th anniversary of PlayStation and other characters did not make it.
However, John Garvin’s comment is probably not an exception. The former creative director was said to have been fired because of his “disturbing personality”.
Will there be a sequel to Days Gone? Days Gone is one of the most successful PS4 titles and later also proved successful on Steam. There, the game now has 92% positive reviews based on over 60,000 user reviews.
Despite the success, there will probably never be a second part of Days Gone. This is at least clear from the head of the game, Jeff Ross, on X.com. According to him, Sony was never a fan of Days Gone, as evidence he shows a poster of many characters from PlayStation games, on which there is no trace of Days Gone.
Palworld has become a surprise hit on Steam. However, those without a PC have only been able to experience the game on the XBOX Series X|S until now. Now, the game is supposed to be released on PS5, but the hints about it were quickly deleted.
What kind of leak was that? On x.com, the social media account of the gaming news website Gematsu.com shared a table with all the participants of the Tokyo Game Show 2024. The Tokyo Game Show is one of the largest and most important gaming fairs in the world. In 2023, nearly 250,000 people attended the fair.
For many developers from Asia, the fair is significant and an opportunity to present their major news. The developer studio Pocketpair, behind Palworld, will also be showcasing their games there.
In the shared table from Gematsu.com on x.com, the entry for Palworld can be found on page 30. The table also lists all available platforms. Surprisingly, PlayStation 5 is also listed for Palworld. For many fans, this means that a release on Sony’s console is just a matter of time. But everything could turn out differently.
The big Sakurajima update has brought a whole new island to Palworld:
Start video
In Palworld, you can explore a new island with the Sakurajima update
The hints have been deleted
Why is this no longer so certain? The table containing the crucial hint has been changed. However, if you check the table now, the entry for Palworld only lists Steam and Xbox Series X|S. The entry for PlayStation 5 has been removed.
On the other hand, it is also conceivable that the fair itself made a mistake and that Palworld will not announce a PS5 version at the Tokyo Game Show either.
What is known about the PS5 version? It has been known for a long time that the developers of Palworld have been working on a PS5 version, and this was also confirmed by Shuhei Yoshida, former president of PlayStation, with a simple “Yes” regarding the release on the console.
Whether Palworld will delight players with a PS5 release for its birthday at the beginning of next year is not certain as of now. The Tokyo Game Show from September 26 to September 29 will likely reveal whether everything was just a mistake or if the release has indeed been leaked.

Currently, Amazon is releasing the series The Rings of Power via the streaming service Amazon Prime. Many fans of Tolkien’s Middle-earth universe are not convinced of this. One of the showrunners is also pleased about this.
Warning, Spoiler: The following news contains spoilers for The Rings of Power and the Silmarillion.
In their reviews, viewers criticize that the series does not adhere to the book template, Tolkien’s Silmarillion. On reddit, users have compiled the differences. Here are just a few examples:
The three Rings of the Elves are forged last and by Sauron in the book. In the series, Galadriel, Elrond, and the master smith Celebrimbor take on this task.
Sauron’s persona as Halbrand does not exist in the book.
Galadriel’s husband Celeborn is supposedly dead in the series. In the source material, he is very much alive and not spatially separated from his wife.
Middle-earth fans are complaining about the many differences en masse via social media and also in detailed analysis videos on YouTube. One of the showrunners has now spoken about this.

Negative feedback on YouTube? We are glad to have you too.
What does the showrunner say about this? J. D. Payne, one of the two showrunners of The Rings of Power, reacted in a conversation with colleagues from The Hollywood Reporter to this:
The fellowship had to rely on each other and those who support them and remember what they are fighting for.
And when we see that millions of people [watch the series] and respond so positively, then that is what we are fighting for. And those who watch every episode and [negatively] post about it on social media and make YouTube videos, we are glad to have you too. It wouldn’t be a journey through Middle-earth without a few trolls on the roadside.
What does that mean? Basically, this means that the showrunner is happy about everyone who engages with his series. Payne specifically speaks about those who watch every episode […].
He presumably means to say that in order to be able to make posts and videos, everyone with a negative opinion has watched his series on Amazon Prime. This, in turn, means more views, which positively impacts Payne: series with high viewer numbers are preferred by streaming services when distributing budgets.
For J. D. Payne, therefore, everyone who watches his series is a win.

Which characters were shown? The new trailer for Dragon Ball: Sparking! ZERO focuses exclusively on GT characters. Dragon Ball GT is a continuation of the popular Dragon Ball series that first aired in Japan in 1996 and takes place after the events of Dragon Ball Z.
In the trailer, we see many familiar characters in their GT versions, which especially fans of Goku can look forward to.

One example is Goku in his GT exclusive Super Saiyajin 4 form or the fusion of Vegeta and him as Gogeta.
Community reactions: The reactions to the trailer video on YouTube have so far been mostly positive. Many users emphasize that it was suspected the GT characters would only appear with a DLC, and they are now even more pleased that this is not the case.
Some users comment under the video:

Richard Leadbetter, technology editor at Digital Foundry, shared his assessment of the performance of GTA 6 on the PS5 Pro in an interview with IGN.
Who is the expert? It is technology editor Richard Leadbetter, who writes for the platform Digital Foundry. This platform specializes in technical analyses of video games. They test and evaluate the performance of games, consoles, and hardware.
In the course of an interview with IGN, the expert was asked whether he thinks players will experience GTA 6 at 60 FPS on the PS5 Pro. His answer is likely to be disillusioning for fans of the series. Sony recently announced the release of their latest model, including a price of 800 €.

How likely are 60 FPS for GTA 6?
What is Richard Leadbetter’s assessment? The expert’s assessment is unlikely to be very pleasing for many fans. When asked if he thinks that GTA 6 will run at 60 FPS on the PS5 Pro, he simply replies “no”.
The PS5 Pro features an enhanced GPU that offers up to 45% faster rendering as well as ray-tracing capabilities. Nevertheless, Leadbetter remains skeptical that this new version will be sufficient to bring GTA 6 to 60 FPS.
Another factor he mentions is the CPU of the new Sony console. According to him, GTA games have always utilized complex simulations that heavily tax the CPU, which is why earlier titles launched at 30 FPS or less.
The processor in the PlayStation 5 Pro is the same as the one used in its predecessor. This, according to the expert, is the main reason he believes that achieving 60 FPS in GTA 6 will be challenging.
Does the PS5 Pro also offer advantages for GTA 6? According to Richard Leadbetter, the new console does present an advantage over its predecessor. He states that despite the FPS limitations, he expects GTA 6 to look visually more impressive on the Pro, thanks to the improved GPU.
Rockstar Games has not yet confirmed whether they are aiming for 60 FPS in GTA 6, and the expert sees no signs at present that this may be the case.

The new war bond for Helldivers 2 has been announced. Chemical Agents lets you become a pest control expert. Toxic gases, new stratagems, and armor await you. We will show you the items in detail.
What is included in the new war bond? With the upcoming war bond “Chemical Agents” releasing on September 19, new content is coming for all you Democrats out there. With it, players will receive two new stratagems and two weapons:
Secondary Weapon: P-11 Stim Pistol
A pistol that shoots healing
Grenade: G4 Gas Grenade
A grenade that sprays toxic gas
Stratagem: TX-41 Sterilizer
A gas launcher
Stratagem: AX/TX-13 “Guard Dog” Dog Breath
A flying turret that sprays toxic gas
Additionally, there will be new emotes, two capes, and two armor sets. As for the effects of the armors, they will be better able to withstand toxic smoke than armors without. However, the biggest highlight alongside the useful stratagems could be the pistol.

Helldivers 2: The Official Trailer for Chemical Agents Warbond
Helldivers are now becoming the best medics in the team
What is the highlight of the war bond? The highlight of the war bond is the pistol “P-11 Stim Pistol”. The weapon is not a weapon in the traditional sense, but rather a support tool. With it, you can shoot your colleagues from a distance to heal them directly.
This is very useful considering how stressful it can be in higher difficulty levels. There are often moments when team members desperately try to escape from a horde of automatons or terminids. Being able to provide that life-saving healing boost from a distance with the pistol is very helpful for the team.
What do fans say about the new war bond? They are excited about the upcoming content of the new war bond. Besides the pistol, the new stratagems are also being celebrated. The following can be heard on YouTube:
“This stim pistol will DO WORK.” – Illuminautable
“Finally a medic build” – izumocore
“With this and all the improvements that are coming, I think HD2 will finally get its second wind.” – Egalia_1
“I can’t wait to have 1+ person on pure gas build and 1+ person on pure napalm build. The bugs will never see it coming.” – kenjihamasaki9587
Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 has 22 weapons that you can use to slash down the hordes of Tyranids. We ranked all the weapons in a tier list.
How is our tier list structured? To deliver the best possible results, we looked at other tier lists, gathered opinions, and played ourselves. We also provide a short justification behind each weapon name, explaining why we ranked it where it is.
In total, there are 22 weapons that we have rated and included in the list. The weapons were evaluated based on ammunition capacity, firepower, and utility. S-tier represents the highest rank while C-tier represents the lowest.
We did not include heavy weapons in this list. You will receive them during the campaign when you need them in the section. We recommend using them then; however, you won’t gain an advantage if you carry them beyond that.

S-Tier: The Best Weapons
Chain Sword: The moveset of the chain sword is perfect for fighting your way out of a tight spot with large enemy crowds. After a slash with the sword, you can execute a shoulder charge, kick, or stomp that causes enemies to stagger backward, making them vulnerable to another strike.
The chain sword is the classic in Space Marine 2.
Plasma Pistol: The plasma pistol has the advantage that you don’t need to reload it and can always shoot with it. However, you should be careful not to overheat it if you fire too often in succession.
The plasma pistol has the advantage that you don’t need to reload it.
Heavy Bolt Pistol: The heavy bolt pistol does not deal as much damage as a fully charged shot from the plasma pistol, but it still packs a punch. Its rate of fire leaves much to be desired, but it impresses with its reload speed.
The heavy bolt pistol and the plasma pistol are almost alike.
Bolt Rifle: The bolt rifle is a standard weapon, but it holds its own against the other weapons. It is accurate, has average ammunition capacity, and deals the highest damage compared to other rifles (except for the stalker bolt rifle).
The bolt rifle is well-balanced.
The Fencing Variant (Melee Weapons)
What is Fencing? Fencing is a variant in the defensive style that can occur as a property on melee weapons. It is especially noteworthy as it can provide you with a huge advantage in combat.
Fencing allows you a larger window of time for perfectly parrying enemy attacks. This increases the chance for perfect parries and subsequent executions. In the game, parrying is very valuable and can quickly dispatch hordes of enemies.
Energy Hammer: You should avoid parrying with this hammer as it is very slow. However, if it hits, it deals a good amount of damage, making it most effective against large enemy hordes.
With the energy hammer, you feel like Thor.
Storm Bolt Rifle: If you like the bolt rifle and want a slightly higher rate of fire, you will feel comfortable with the storm bolt rifle. However, it has slightly less range and firepower.
The storm bolt rifle is the faster variant of the bolt rifle.
Combat Knife: The combat knife is the fastest melee weapon. It is perfect against Tyranid warriors or specific enemies. To combat groups of smaller foes, you can strike in a wide arc with the knife.
If you prefer a fast playstyle, the combat knife is just right for you.
Inceptor Bolt Carbine: This weapon is the perfect combination of ranged combat and high fire rate. It also boasts impressive precision thanks to the scope.
The Inceptor bolt carbine is the little brother of the bolt sniper rifle.
Energy Sword: With the energy sword, you can adopt two stances: one to deal damage and one to break through the opponent’s defense. This way, you can use the energy sword against hordes or bosses.
The energy sword has two stances.
Stalker Bolt Rifle: The bolt rifle with a bit more range. This rifle may not have much ammunition, but thanks to its scope, it can be very effective against distant enemies and specific foes.
The Stalker Bolt Rifle has approximately the firepower of the Bolt Rifle with greater range.
Bolt Pistol: The ammunition damage balance of the bolt pistol is balanced and works great for delivering the final blow to enemies that are just out of reach of your melee weapon.
The bolt pistol is the little sister of the plasma pistol, just with reloading.
Heavy Bolt Rifle: The strongest argument for the heavy bolt rifle is its large magazine, which can be perfect for shooting into large crowds of enemies. It has a slightly better rate of fire and penetration than the bolt rifle.
Shooting into masses of enemies is particularly fun with heavy bolt rifles.
Marksman Bolt Carbine: The marksman bolt carbine impresses mainly with its versatility. The precision of this weapon is extremely high thanks to the scope. The carbine delivers a steady and fast rate of fire. Even though it has only a slow rate of fire, you can deal considerable damage with it.
The marksman bolt carbine is versatile.
B-Tier: Weapons for Special Situations
Bolt Sniper Rifle: This sniper rifle has enormous firepower, but very little ammunition. It is quite useful for a defense mission or boss battles, but for other enemies you will need a different weapon.
This sniper rifle has only a small utility in a heated battle.
Energy Fist: The energy fist has powerful strikes, but they are often not far-reaching against large numbers of enemies. Additionally, you must charge the blows before they deal substantial damage; a time during which you are vulnerable.
The energy fist
C-Tier: Niche Weapons
Melter Rifle: At close range, the melter rifle deals a lot of damage. However, at longer distances, it has very little utility and takes a long time to reload.
The melter rifle is suitable only for close combat.
Plasma Burna: The plasma burna is a powerful weapon. Shots become stronger the longer you charge them. The problem is that if you fire a fully charged shot every time, you only have a total of 13 shots. Once you run out, you’ll be left weaponless.
The plasma burna has punch but a problem with ammunition.
Bolt Carbine: This carbine has a high rate of fire but at the cost of accuracy. The damage dealt by the bolt carbine is unfortunately not high enough to overlook its lack of accuracy.
The bolt carbine has a high rate of fire but cannot impress with its damage.
Occulus Bolt Carbine: The Occulus bolt carbine has the same problem as the bolt carbine: accuracy. It deals more damage compared to its predecessor, has a slightly lower rate of fire but retains the discussed issue of its predecessor.
The Occulus bolt carbine is a variant of the bolt carbine.
What else is there to consider? This tier list is only a reference that you can use as a comparison if you are unsure about the weapon selection. You can also mow down enemies with weapons that are ranked lower in our list.
The only 19-year-old Joseph Joon “Jojopyun” Pyun is considered the highest-paid player of League of Legends in North America. He has been playing professionally since November 2021 and has been with Cloud9 since 2023, but disappointed in 2024. As a content creator for LoL says, his team has now released him because he has been late to team appointments 43 times.
Who is Jojopyun? Jojopyun is a mid-laner. He was, together with Danny, the highlight of the Evil Geniuses team from 2021 to 2023: The two North American teenagers surprisingly broke into the scene and won the Spring Split in the USA in 2022, which no one expected.
After Danny’s career ended, Jojopyun was seen as the greatest talent in North America for years. In the Summer Split 2023, he was named the MVP of the league (via youtube). But Evil Geniuses withdrew from LoL and the LCS before 2024.
Jojopyun joined Cloud9 in November 2023. According to his teammate Blaber, Jojopyun is likely “one of the highest-paid players in the league.”

Content Creator says: Cloud9 has fired Jojopyun
These are now the new rumors: As the prominent content creator IWillDominate states in a video, Cloud9 is said to have fired the 19-year-old.
The reason is that he constantly arrives late to all team events, meetings, training sessions, scrims, and other commitments.

The team eventually noticed that Jojopyun was constantly late, began to keep a record of it, and terminated his contract after the 43rd delay. IWillDominate confirmed this with several sources.
IWillDominate believes that Jojopyun will never receive such a well-paid contract again like he had at Cloud9 – especially if the reputation sets in that he lacks the necessary attitude.
An official confirmation of the contract termination is still pending.
What is behind it? The site Dotesports immediately speaks of the suspicion that Jojopyun may also be suffering from burnout like his former teammate Danny. Otherwise, it cannot be explained how a professional player can be so late so often.
In the comments under the YouTube video, many users express their disbelief towards the young man. Being late so often is simply insane and shows a lack of attitude.
Another narrative is that Jojopyun is being made a “scapegoat” for the poor season of Cloud9 and is now being sacrificed. If Jojopyun arrives late, says another LoL coach, then that is a problem of the coaches and management.
Are you considering whether to buy an Xbox Series X or wait for the release of the PS5 Pro? MeinMMO presents both consoles and explains where the similarities and differences lie.
[toc]
With the PS5 Pro, Sony has introduced its next gaming console. But how does it compare to the competition? MeinMMO has looked at the PS5 Pro and Xbox Series and explains where the differences lie and which console ultimately performs better.
What performance does the PS5 Pro offer? The PS5 Pro is expected to come with a significantly faster graphics chip: The new GPU is supposed to have 67% more compute units than the current PS5 console and 28% more memory. Overall, it is expected to deliver up to 45% faster rendering. However, the CPU is not expected to be changed.
Additionally, the PS5 Pro features AI-powered upscaling, known as “PlayStation Spectral Super Resolution” (PSSR).
What performance does the Xbox Series X offer? The Xbox Series X still relies on the old RDNA 2 architecture from AMD. Nevertheless, the Xbox Series X has had an advantage over the standard PS5 in terms of GPU performance, as it achieves 12.155 TFLOPS. The standard PS5 only offers 10.23 TFLOPS.
The Xbox Series also uses a custom chip from AMD, which runs faster than the PS5: The CPU with 8 cores is clocked at 3.8 GHz, while the PS5 is “only” set to 3.5 GHz.
Comparison of Xbox Series X vs PS5 Pro:

Which is better? It is still impossible to say for certain, as we currently lack solid data from the PS5. The Xbox Series X is slightly ahead at this point, as the baseline performance is simply higher than that of the standard model.
However, the advantage of the Xbox could certainly change once solid benchmarks from the PS5 Pro are available. We will also only see how much “Spectral Super Resolution” (PSSR) impacts performance in practice later on.
Both consoles have so far offered 16 GB of GDDR6 memory, and the higher speed of the PS5 Pro could prove advantageous, especially at high resolutions (4K and 8K). Slower and especially smaller memory repeatedly proves to be a bottleneck for data at high resolutions.

What games does the Xbox Series X offer? The Xbox Series X offers around 500 games, including backward-compatible titles from older generations.
Which is better? The PS5 offers a significantly larger number of games overall, including many exclusive titles. On the other hand, you can use the Game Pass on the Xbox Series X and play many games directly at release for a small additional fee.
Nevertheless, the PS5 Pro has the advantage here. However, the difference is much less significant than it was back in the days of the PS4/Xbox One.
PS5 Pro vs Xbox Series X: Design
What does the design of the PS5 look like? The PS5 features a curved, white design. There are also small black accents, which are particularly prominent on the PS5 Pro.
What does the design of the Xbox Series X look like? The Xbox Series X looks like a cube and features a black appearance that resembles the Xbox One, which was also black.
For the Xbox Series X, there is no option to modify the external appearance. However, a white Series X is allegedly in the works.
Which is better? Both consoles have received criticism for their design: both the “fridge” and the “router” have received many nicknames. In the end, the design is really a matter of taste, and it depends on what you prefer to have in your home.
How much does the PS5 Pro cost? The PS5 Pro officially costs €799.99 at release. A DualSense controller is included in the package. A drive is not built in, but you can buy it later. You can purchase a drive for an additional €119.99. This would bring the price of the PS5 Pro to over €900.
How much does the Xbox Series X cost? Microsoft, like Sony, has raised the price of its gaming console. Officially, you pay €549.99 for the Xbox Series X. The package includes both an Xbox Wireless Controller and two AA batteries. The Xbox Series X comes with a built-in Blu-ray drive.
With Xbox All Access, you can also purchase the console monthly with a Game Pass subscription. A model of the Xbox Series X with 2 TB of storage costs regularly €649.99.
Which is better? The Xbox Series X is currently the better deal in terms of price. Even when comparing the expensive 2 TB variant of Xbox to the PS5 Pro, the PS5 Pro is still €150 more expensive, and €250 more expensive if you want a drive. An alternative could also be a gaming PC, which you can also buy for €800 to €900:
What speaks for the PS5 Pro: With the PS5 Pro, you get Sony’s fastest gaming console currently. Especially the performance leap, better ray tracing performance, and significantly better frame rates speak for Sony’s new console.
What speaks for the Xbox Series X: The Xbox Series X already offers native 4K support and now also comes in a 2 TB version. The Xbox Game Pass may not be as attractive since its price adjustment, but it is still an important draw for Xbox. After all, all modern titles can be played seamlessly on Xbox.
PS5 Pro or Xbox Series X: The PS5 Pro is the better choice for you if you want to play all of Sony’s exclusive titles, utilize the benefits of the DualSense, and have a setup that benefits from 4K or 8K. The PS5 overall has a huge game library that the Xbox currently cannot match. The PS5 and PS5 Pro also offer you access to virtual reality with PSVR 2, for which Xbox currently doesn’t have an alternative to offer.
However, it’s important to note: For both the game library and PSVR2, you do not need a Pro model. The standard PS5 is completely sufficient for that.
If you only want a fast console that doesn’t require a vertical stand and already has a built-in drive and 2 TB of storage, you can also buy the Xbox Series X for €649.99. Compared to the PS5 Pro, you save around €150, and even €250 if you want a drive. Dolby Vision is also only supported by the Xbox.
Most major titles of the year, such as “Assassin’s Creed” or the “Call Of Duty” series, can be played on both the PS5 and the Xbox anyway. And many exclusive titles on PS5 will eventually be available on PC as well.
PS5 or Xbox: With PS5 and Xbox Series X, you can purchase two powerful consoles. But which console should I buy if I have to choose one? MeinMMO explains the similarities and differences between PS5 and Xbox Series X. It also tells you which console you should ultimately choose: PS5 vs Xbox Series X – Which console should I buy?
