Oh, by the way: I am the host of this on Friday! Please come along for my chat with the cast & director of the FF7Rs. As you'd expect, I can guarantee a level of nerdy deep dive that might not always occur on such panels...

RIP to Itagaki, whose poisonous (but totally kayfabe) vendetta against Tekken was a relentlessly entertaining thread out of the early 2000s Japan dev news scene. You knew you were in for a treat if you got an interview with him.

Videogamer's new logo a screaming exclamation mark on the 'support independent games media' argument. Legitimately thought this was someone taking the piss when it was first posted in a discord, but no, it's on the site. You have to laugh (or else you'll cry)

Caesars are absolutely losing it. Triple zero is a disgrace in itself, but now these nonsense side bets?? Quick beer mat maths, the house edge on this side bet would be about 23% lol

An extremely fun & imo directorially rich moment in that Bond demo - what appears to be Bond's first on-mission kill being framed like this so it looks like the gun barrel sequence, despite being an in-gameplay, player-in-control moment:
