The difficulty option lands smack dab in the middle of Oblivion's existing ones, with the patch notes stating it is meant to "act as a better bridge between Adept and Expert for players."That's not the only difficulty change coming in the update. It will additionally introduce specific settings for player combat damage and enemy combat damage, allowing players to further fine tune their experience.Continue Reading at GameSpot (https://www.gamespot.com/articles/oblivion-remastereds-next-update-will-add-a-brand-new-difficulty-option-full-patch-notes/1100-6533089/?ftag=CAD-01-10abi2f/)

Additionally, developers should not "ask customers to review" games from within the game itself.

https://www.gamespot.com/articles/ea-japan-gm-criticizes-microsoft-layoffs-and-cancellations-as-harmful-to-the-industry/1100-6533083/?ftag=CAD-01-10abi2f
Last week, Microsoft announced sweeping layoffs and restructuring efforts (https://www.gamespot.com/articles/xbox-layoffs-begin-with-200-cuts-in-europe-report/1100-6532905/), much of which targeted the tech giant's Xbox division. Multiple games were canceled and projects defunded, and thousands of workers were let go. This move induced widespread condemnation and an outpouring of sadness from the industry, including from EA Japan's general manager, Shaun Noguchi.Noguchi, writing in his personal capacity, posted (https://x.com/SeptillionGames/status/1940932053299876351) on X about how disappointed he was to see more waves of layoffs and cancellations. He wrote (in Japanese and translated by IGN (https://www.ign.com/articles/ea-japan-gm-speaks-out-on-microsoft-layoffs-and-cancellation-of-games-like-everwild-and-perfect-dark-if-a-game-was-in-development-for-710-years-canceling-feels-like-the-worst-move)) about how the trend in Western companies to chase short-term profits and reduce long-term payoffs or stability has led to damaging the game industry as a whole. "The game industry is held up by every single creator and member of staff who diligently develops games on the ground," he wrote. "As someone in the same industry, I feel deep pain regarding this decision."He later reiterated (https://x.com/SeptillionGames/status/1941631379411976521) (in English) that Microsoft's decision to kill off projects that had been in the works for many years was deeply regrettable. Although companies justify canceling projects to cut losses and avoid the sunk-cost fallacy, Noguchi expressed specific concern for the staff who would have nothing public to show for their work. "This is just my personal opinion but if a game was in development for 7~10 years, canceling feels like the worst move. That's a decade of work, potentially a quarter of someones [sic] entire career completly [sic] lost," he argued. "Even if the final product isn't what people originally expected, I think it still deserves to ship. Something is better than nothing for both the team and for the players."Continue Reading at GameSpot (https://www.gamespot.com/articles/ea-japan-gm-criticizes-microsoft-layoffs-and-cancellations-as-harmful-to-the-industry/1100-6533083/?ftag=CAD-01-10abi2f/)

You Might Be Losing Mario Kart World Races Because Of Charge Jumps
https://www.gamespot.com/articles/you-might-be-losing-mario-kart-world-races-because-of-charge-jumps/1100-6533081/?ftag=CAD-01-10abi2f
Seasoned Mario Kart players know to drift often to build up boosts and get some extra speed coming around corners. With charge jumps, Mario Kart World (https://www.gamespot.com/games/mario-kart-world/) seemed to add yet another technique to get some marginal gains and edge out opponents--but the story isn't that simple.Charge jumps, which are essentially drifts done on straightaways instead of corners, come with all the same visual indicators of granting a speed boost as classic drifting, but it turns out that the technique may technically slow you down. Following intensive investigation from the Mario Kart community, fans have seemingly confirmed that normal acceleration on a straight is preferable to charge-jumping. YouTube user Karting All Day comprehensively explored the differences in speed between charge-jumping and normal racing in the video embedded above. Kotaku (https://kotaku.com/mario-kart-world-charge-jump-speed-boost-too-slow-1851785905) also independently confirmed the results across different top-speed builds.Continue Reading at GameSpot (https://www.gamespot.com/articles/you-might-be-losing-mario-kart-world-races-because-of-charge-jumps/1100-6533081/?ftag=CAD-01-10abi2f/)

This looks like it'll be another enjoyable build, as there are 1,505 pieces in this kit. The Decepticon communications specialist will stand 33cm tall in his robot mode and he comes with minifigures of Ravage and Rumble that can transform into cassette tapes.Just like the G1 version this figure is based on, Soundwave's partners can fit inside of his cassette bay in their transformed state. The best thing about the figure is that it also comes with a sound-brick, and when activated, Soundwave will spout newly recorded lines.

Blue Archive PC Release Appears To Break Steam Rules
https://www.gamespot.com/articles/blue-archive-pc-release-appears-to-break-steam-rules/1100-6533084/?ftag=CAD-01-10abi2f
Following a successful four years as a mobile exclusive, Blue Archive (https://www.gamespot.com/games/blue-archive/)released on Steam earlier this month. On face value it seems to have been a successful launch, topping 20,000 concurrent players and 10,000 Steam reviews. However, according to a now-removed Nexon forum post (https://imgur.com/a/Hd10zoJ), the developer ran an in-game event incentivizing players to leave reviews on Valve's platform, something which is clearly disallowed in the Steamworks documentation (https://partner.steamgames.com/doc/store/reviews).The in-game event description explained that once Blue Archive's Steam review count had reached 10,000, all players would receive five Gift Choice Boxes and five Beautiful Bouquets in-game. The event was due to run from July 4-11, but there is no longer any mention of it when opening Blue Archive. Interestingly, the Steam reviews have exceeded Nexon's goal of 10,000.

With the Nintendo Switch 2 now out in the wild, it's reasonable to expect that Nintendo might make a few policy changes to better reflect the company's intentions for the console. At least one of those changes comes with a cost, however: the Nintendo Switch Game Voucher program will be discontinued (permanently this time (https://www.gamespot.com/articles/last-chance-for-this-great-nintendo-switch-game-de/1100-6468736/)) on January 30, 2026.The Nintendo Switch Game Voucher initiative allowed Switch owners to essentially pre-pay for two Nintendo Switch games--so long as they were included in the program (https://www.nintendo.com/us/store/games/game-voucher-eligible/?srsltid=AfmBOoqBUETKdbeFodjuwuZJG0ArxVxXn91WyMjd4epmGfhgH22e08Bl)--through the purchase of two Game Vouchers; the vouchers cost $100, while two games purchased separately would normally cost $120. Many of Nintendo's first-party releases--including Super Mario Odyssey, Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, and The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, were included in the program. The official Nintendo support site (https://en-americas-support.nintendo.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/70933/kw/vouchers) made the discontinuation of the program official, saying that "as of 11:59 PM Pacific Time January 30, 2026, it will no longer be possible to purchase Nintendo Switch Game Vouchers." The post does mention, however, that any vouchers purchased between now and the end of the program will be redeemable for 12 months after the date of purchase.Continue Reading at GameSpot (https://www.gamespot.com/articles/nintendo-is-ending-the-nintendo-switch-game-vouchers-program/1100-6533082/?ftag=CAD-01-10abi2f/)
