Japan Studio is an odd little outfit, and while you’ll be familiar with the logo from start-up screens from countless PlayStation classics, most of its work has been done in tandem with external partners. Demon’s Souls, its most recent release, was in partnership with Bluepoint Games; The Last Guardian, one of its most high profile, was in tandem with Japan Studio alumni Fumito Ueda’s team at GenDesign. The last game that was an original Japan Studio joint was Knack 2, though it might perhaps be kinder to remember the developer by 2013’s much-loved Puppeteer, its last effort before it was tasked with bringing Mark Cerny’s vision to life....

We’ll be explaining how it plays differently, and what else you should look out for, in our Final Fantasy 15 Episode Prompto guide and walkthrough below....

Producer Naoki Yoshida confirmed the news in an interview with IGN, although he said that recent open world games have provided “inspiration”. “We’ve found in our extensive user research that many of the younger generation of gamers have never played a Final Fantasy or don’t have any interest in the series. To create a game that might excite and resonate not only with our core fans, but also with that new generation, we played a lot of games ourselves, and so yes, in [Final Fantasy 16] you’ll find inspiration from recent triple-A open world RPGs,” said Yoshida....

It feels like there’s something of a mechanical keyboard renaissance recently, with boutique brands producing some stunning keyboards with unique designs and advanced features for surprisingly little money.

The comment was made during a recent preview session attended by Eurogamer, and was part of a section dedicated to the game’s performance capture.

The comments above were made by BAFTA-nominated performance director Tom Keegan, who is overseeing performance capture on Forspoken....

Then followed an extended 30-minute event mode where players were tasked with reforging the Island anew, using a mix of familiar and fresh locales that look set to appear in Chapter 4....
