For decades, the Mortal Kombat series has offered gamers brutal, adrenaline-pumping action, and its debut on the Nintendo Switch was eagerly anticipated by many. However, it seems that the performance of Mortal Kombat 1 on this platform hasn't fully met gamers' expectations. According to the co-creator of the Mortal Kombat series, Ed Boon, the Nintendo Switch version exhibits some graphical inconsistencies that didn't escape the eagle eyes of numerous gaming outlets. These imperfections may be surprising to some, especially to seasoned gamers like me, who have been in the realm of virtual combat for over 30 years.
Thankfully, Ed Boon has not left fans in the dark. As cited by VGC and the BBC, Boon announced that updates are inbound, promising a better gaming experience in the near future. For longtime fans of the series or those just diving into the Mortal Kombat universe, this assurance is golden. So, I'm curious - have you ever squared off against opponents in a Mortal Kombat match before?
Cyberpunk 2077, a game that generated buzz like few others in recent memory, is back in the spotlight. The release of its expansion, "Phantom Liberty," is on the horizon, and critics have already begun penning their written reviews. But for those waiting with bated breath for gameplay footage, a little more patience is needed. Video coverage will only be made public after its official release on September 26th, 2023. This information comes courtesy of sources like Mithrie - Gaming News and IGN.
An interesting recommendation has emerged from the game's developer. Before diving into Phantom Liberty, they advise players to restart Cyberpunk 2077 from scratch. This is to ensure gamers experience all the tweaks and improvements introduced in the recent update. Given my 30 years of gaming, this is an intriguing proposition. Does it entice you to revisit Night City from the beginning before the expansion's launch?
The RGG Summit, a much-anticipated event, did not disappoint. One of the most electrifying revelations was the announcement of "Like A Dragon Infinite Wealth," set to hit the shelves on January 26th, 2024. But that's not all the good news for fans of the Yakuza universe! "Like A Dragon Gaiden - The Man Who Erased His Name" is also en route, slated for a November 9th, 2023 release. This spinoff promises to bridge the narrative gap between the previous and upcoming 'Like A Dragon' games.
Both titles will be available across PlayStation, Xbox, and PC platforms. This news, backed by sources like VGC and official trailers by SEGA, has the gaming community buzzing with excitement. As someone with over three decades of joystick-wielding experience, I've had my fair share of adventures with the Yakuza and Like A Dragon series. What about you? Do you have a favorite title in these epic franchises?
As gaming technologies and narratives evolve, it's exhilarating to witness the industry's progress, especially through titles like those discussed. Whether you're a seasoned gamer or just embarking on your journey, the virtual universe awaits with endless possibilities.
