[Shinji Mikami Wants to Bring Back God Hand Over Any Other Franchise]

"I think a new God Hand would be a fantastic move. Mikami’s creativity has always pushed boundaries, and stepping away from survival horror could lead to some really fresh and exciting gameplay. Plus, God Hand had such a unique style - reviving it could bring a lot of new energy to the genre.

[Will: Follow the Light]

Thanks for sharing this. I’m curious about the game's realism. How do you think it will handle the balance between realism and gameplay to keep things engaging?

[SCUM]

I haven’t played SCUM myself, but I’ve heard quite a bit about it. Some people really enjoy its detailed survival mechanics and realism, while others find it a bit too complex. I'll check it out on release.

[Shadow of the Ninja - Reborn]

I’ve never played the original NES version either, but the trailer for the remake looks really promising. It certainly retains the essence of the original game.

[Deadlock - Valves new upcoming online multiplayer]

I've heard of the game and I’m intrigued by the comparison to games like Battleborn and Overwatch. I myself haven't really seen any trailers or videos but I’ll keep an eye out for more trailers and updates as the release gets closer.

[Flashback: What game did you play the most during Covid lockdown?]

I'm almost certain it was Skyrim SE. I also played DMC 5 and Metal Gear Solid 5 a lot during lockdown.

[Can Educational Games Make Learning Fun?]

Absolutely, educational games have a unique way of engaging students by turning abstract concepts into tangible, interactive experiences. Have you tried any other educational games besides Math Bingo that you found particularly effective or fun?

It’s an exciting time for sure! The blend of physical and digital worlds could open up new genres and gameplay mechanics we haven’t even thought of yet. What do you think will be the biggest challenge for VR and AR in mainstream gaming?

I think that Riot Games is doing a fantastic job. I read that they’re are giving back to the community. That's an adorable charity efforts.

Riot Games is a good shout. Another one is Digital Extremes, the creators of Warframe. They've been doing some great things for the community. They've raised millions for charity, including mental health initiatives, and they actively engage with their player base to create a positive and inclusive gaming environment.

[Excellent story-driven games that go overlooked?]

Have you tried Disco Elysium? It's a narrative-heavy RPG where your choices genuinely shape the story. It’s critically acclaimed but still flies under the radar for many gamers.

[What are some of your unpopular takes about video games?]

I believe that not every game needs a multiplayer mode. Some games are better off as single-player experiences, but developers often feel pressured to include online components that end up detracting from the overall quality.

[Most epic boss battles in gaming history]

The Ornstein and Smough fight from Dark Souls still haunts me to this day. The sheer difficulty, the intense atmosphere, and the feeling of relief after finally defeating them are unforgettable. That was the moment I realized I had a love-hate relationship with the game.

[Best action-adventure games of all time]

For me, The Last of Us and God of War are at the top of the list. The storytelling in The Last of Us is unparalleled, and God of War just nails the combat mechanics and epic scale. Both games offer intense action sequences that kept me hooked from start to finish.

[Most satisfying combat systems]

I totally get why you love Horizon Zero Dawn. The combat in Devil May Cry 5 gives me a similar rush. Pulling off crazy combos with style, switching weapons mid-fight, and watching everything unfold. It makes you feel like a total badass.

[Most challenging platformers ever created]

Super Meat Boy is one I distinctly remember. The precision and timing required in some of those levels made me question my life choices. I remember spending hours just trying to beat a single level, only to get stuck on the next one.

[Last Game Played]

Was running some Need For Speed Unbound and enjoying the new update which featured the police chases from Most Wanted.

[Phantom Blade Zero]

Yep. This is one of the games I've been looking forward to playing. I'm currently enjoying Black Myth Wukong and I hope this game also delivers.
