From Pokémon to game mechanics, there has been plenty of missed opportunities on the production side. Though most have legitimate reasons for not seeing the light of day, fans still have plenty of fight left for the forgotten pieces. Usually, when the team leaves something behind in the dust they don’t go back to get it....

The Pokémon series has been a major phenomenon ever since its debut.

After months of rumors and speculation, Pokemon GO has finally released the first teaser trailer for the game’s addition of Gen 4 creatures. The trailer looks great, but is thin on details, aside from some teasers about iconic Pokemon who will appear when the new generation is added to the game.

Although console generations are typically about moving forward by building upon a previous generations’ success, occasionally to move forward also means eliminating useless or unnecessary features. With Sony’s PS4, for example, the console maker is making some substantial changes with its DualShock 4 controller, both by adding new design tweaks, and eliminating unsuccessful features from the DualShock 3. One such feature that Sony has decided not to include in the DualShock 4 is analog face buttons....

Now gamers in that region can expect to pay just a little less than before, something the PlayStation Blog in Brazil attributes to lowered taxes on gaming.

When it comes to passion projects brought back solely through fan demand, few can match Double Fine’s Psychonauts 2, which was resurrected solely through the dedication of its cult-fanbase. Funded through Fig, the project amassed millions of dollars and quickly became the poster boy for the potential of crowd-funding. As many will know, the project got even more financial backing after Double Fine was acquired by Microsoft back in 2019. While that may seem like it was merely an added bonus for the development of the long-awaited sequel, it turns out the support of Microsoft was more important to the project than some might expect, with Tim Schafer telling GamesIndustry....

Rage 2 is now available to the masses, giving fans of the franchise their chance to explore a post-apocalyptic wasteland. However, like other open world games, it can sometimes take quite awhile to get from one area to the next, and so some Rage 2 players may be wondering how they can fast travel to speed things up a bit. Fast travel in Rage 2 is a little confusing for one reason: players need to be near their vehicle to do it....

The first few hours of Rage 2 are fantastic. The game’s opening mission is thrilling, action-packed, and shows that this game had a ton of potential to be a truly great FPS. After the first few missions, though, Rage 2’s momentum comes to a screeching halt, and while there’s still plenty to like about the game, its full potential was clearly squandered. Rage 2 is an open world game, but its open world elements are what drag it down from being something special....

Rainbow Six Siege is getting a loot box system next month during the limited-time Outbreak event. Only cosmetic items will be available in these loot boxes, but with all the criticism surrounding microtransactions right now, it is to be expected that some players are not happy about this announcement.
