In 2019, the head of Bayonetta developer Platinum Games, Atsushi Inaba, said he was not all that impressed by the next generation of consoles from Sony and Microsoft. He said they offered “more of the same,” and those comments led to some debate and discussion.

Inaba has now clarified his comments, telling Video Games Chronicle that his original words led to “a little bit of backlash” and the perception that he was a snob. Inaba now says he’s excited by the fact that the new consoles will allow developers to “do more” as it relates to graphics and technology. However, he stands by his estimation that the leap from the PS4/Xbox One era to the PS5/Xbox Series X era won’t be as dramatic as the shift that occurred years ago during previous console transitions.

“If you think back to the generation between Super Nintendo and PlayStation, and how we went from pixel art to 3D polygons… nobody could have ever imagined that a few years prior,” Inaba said. “When that stuff started coming out people were just blown away: they weren’t ready for it, they weren’t anticipating it… it was just so new.”

LittleBigPlanet developers Media Molecule released their latest game Dreams for the PS4 in February, and now they’re looking for help to refine the game’s VR features, Video Games Chronicle reported.

The testing positions are open to European players, and while the company hasn’t specified what it’s looking for in a tester, the application form asks about location, availability, previous testing experiences, and which devices you have available.

Testers will have to sign an NDA if accepted for the two-week process, which involved a preliminary briefing, two weeks of reporting based on short periods of gameplay, and a debrief session. Participants will be paid £200 (around $250 US) at the end of the testing period. Applications are now open for the limited positions here.

The evidence that 2020’s Call of Duty game is a Black Ops title continues to mount. It’s now been discovered that the battle royale game Warzone was recently updated with another Black Ops easter egg.

In one of the map’s buildings, an RCXD–which is a popular killstreak from the Black Ops series–can be clearly seen sitting on a table. You can check out some images in the embedded tweet below.

This follows from the recent discovery that Warzone’s Bunkers can now be opened, and at least one of them contains another Black Ops-related tease. Bunker 11 was discovered to contain a nuclear warhead. Sources told Video Games Chronicle that this very warhead will be used in the game to change the map and give it a Cold War theme as a tease for the new mainline release. Players have also discovered a Cold War-era spyplane in Warzone by glitching through walls.

This year’s Sonic the Hedgehog film was one of the final blockbuster movies released in theatres before the COVID-19 shutdown. The movie was a big success, surpassing Detective Pikachu to become the highest-grossing video game movie of all-time in the United States.

Sonic Studio’s chief brand officer, Ivo Gerscovich, has now commented on the success of the film and how it’s shaped the Sonic brand overall. Gerscovich said in a Reddit AMA that the movie helped re-invigorate the Sonic series and help it become even more relevant.

“The success of the film has positively impacted many areas of the brand from bringing in a new generation of fans to reaching fans in places all over the world that may not be as accessible for us alone,” he said.

You don’t have to be a sports fan to be gripped by the story of Michael Jordan’s last season with the Chicago Bulls, as played out in ESPN’s documentary series The Last Dance. Licensed by Netflix for the international market, it seems the rest of the world is just as taken by the quintessentially American story.

In a tweet, Netflix revealed its viewership numbers for The Last Dance, with 23.8 million households checking out the basketball documentary.

While the way Netflix counts viewers is a little less rigorous than it used to be, we can compare this number with some other figures recently released by the streaming network. Quirky doco hit Tiger King counted 64 million household views in its first month, while at the time of the report Ozark Season 3 was projected to reach 29 million households, closer to the number who’ve checked out The Last Dance.
