How Hellraiser made it through the ratings boards is beyond me. But I give the devs 10/10 with authenticity and sticking to what Hellraiser is.

Hellraiser franchise has had it's fair share of ups, downs, more downs and even more downs. But luckily Dimension doesn't have the movie rights anymore. And there is a rumour that Clive Barker is in fact writing and directing a new Hellraiser movie. So that would be amazing.

@Tea: I think Kena 2 was unfortunatly delayed. But its a small team. So its good they get more time.

@phreak - you what im waiting for ... the release date on Kena 2. The first game was a complete gem and likely my game of the year when it was released.

@VectorTwoSix

For now I would not be hopeful, this article was released https://wccftech.com/phantom-blade-zero-playstation-5-pulled-listings-no-physical-edition/ that shows for now, there is no intention for a physical release, maybe it will be like Black Myth Wukong where they will release physical later

Possibly after the timed exclusivity ends

Look I'm really excited for Phantom Blade Zero, but I refuse to buy it digitally. Much like Black Myth Wukong, I will wait if I have to, but if you're getting a physical, please sign me up (I heard rumours there would be some physicals released).

I'm very excited for FF Resonance.

I'm going to binge play Hellraiser the whole weekend. It's so freaking good. Hellraiser: Revival has such sights to show you.

Palworld Announced, and It's Basically Pokemon with Guns

by Sam Aberdeen on 07 June, 2021

Over the weekend, developer Pocketpair revealed the trailer for their new upcoming game, Palworld. The game is described as a "multiplayer, open-world survival crafting game", though you'll be joined on your adventures by some adorable Pokemon-like companions. All seems fine so far, until you realize that Palworld actually allows players to use another form of combat: guns.

Palworld's trailer starts off innocently enough, showing how humans co-exist with lovable-looking monsters that can harvest crops, build houses, and accompany them on adventures in a colourful open world. It would be a harmless Pokemon rip-off if it wasn't for the fact that you can use an assortment of guns in combat. Everything from semi-automatic rifles to shotguns and sniper rifles, Palworld seems to throw a few unlikely ideas into a blender. You can even use your animal friends as meat shields against gunfire, much to the dismay of one terrified sheep. Check out the life-changing trailer below:



Needless to say, Palworld's trailer has caught a lot of traction online. Memes have been assembled from some of the game's more bonkers moments, including the terrified sheep and a factory of furry companions making guns on a conveyer belt. You can even bring down entire buildings with a rocket launcher, Battlefield style. The ludicrous nature of the trailer has also been scrutinized for being a darker and edgier Pokemon clone, putting Pals in factories and workshops where their payment is nothing but food - or as the description reads, "it is essential for automation to let Pals do the manual work. Build a factory and place Pals in it. They will work forever as long as they’re fed until the end of their lifetime." Uh...

Palworld is set to release in 2022.
