Xbox Game Pass vs PlayStation Now: Which Service is Better?

Streaming video games is becoming more of a reality than ever, with internet speeds and bandwidths increasing with every passing day and therefore, related issues becoming less of a concern. The Netflix model of service-subscription is growing in popularity in a very similar vein, and developers and publishers have certainly taken note and are pursuing the model, now more than ever.However, with more players in the field comes more competition. While such a thing is ultimately best for the end-consumer, it can make siding up with one choice a daunting task, given how similarly priced most alternatives are. The two…

Mass Effect 4 Should Follow in the Franchise’s Cancelled Han Solo-inspired Spin-Off’s Footsteps

Mass Effect 4 is on the way and seems to be taking the franchise back to its roots after the initially disappointing reception of Mass Effect: Andromeda. The upcoming title's trailer hints at a return to the Milky Way, returning companions like Liara T'Soni, and perhaps even the survival and return of Commander Shepard as the game's player character.Earlier this year, BioWare's former Development Director, Dorian Kieken, discussed an abandoned Han Solo-inspired spin-off which would have seen players explore the Mass Effect universe from the perspective of a smuggler or thief. While it's likely that not all of this idea…

Unbeatable Brings a Charming 1990s VHS Anime Style to Life

Many anime-inspired games follow a similar formula, which makes outliers somewhat unique. Even among anime-inspired games that aren't fighting games, few have such a unique lineage as Unbeatable, the upcoming rhythm game from D-Cell Games. The game's developers recently spoke to Game Rant about the anime series that inspired them, and how this impacted the game's art style, pacing, and tone. Specifically, seminal anime series from the 1990s and early 2000s played a major role in influencing the game's aesthetic, which the developers compare to watching a 1990 anime on VHS.When citing their influences, Unbeatable's developers were quick to name a range of…

Unbeatable Complements Rhythm Gameplay With Persona 5-Styled Exploration

As those who have played games like Persona 5 know, working against a time limit can be an exciting challenge. This is especially true when player choices about what to do with limited time come to influence the story and the player character's personality. While its principal focus is on fast-paced rhythm combat, the upcoming game Unbeatable also spends time following its protagonists as they explore the game's sci-fi-inspired world. Thanks to the implementation of a day-night cycle similar to Persona 5, players with need to decide how protagonist Beat should spend her time—with potential consequences for the story later on.

Video game controls and controllers have certainly evolved over the years, and now, players have many different options at their fingertips. Traditional controllers from Xbox and PlayStation have stayed true to the core of their original designs, but have been deepened as technology advances.

Microsoft responded with the Xbox Kinect motion control system in 2010, which advertised a controller-free gaming experience.Touch screens have also revolutionized the way gamers can interact with content, and now…

Pokemon’s Strange Relationship With Mega Evolution | Game Rant

From 1996 to 2013, the mainline Pokemon game formula remained largely the same: players begin an adventure as a new Pokemon trainer, choose their starter Pokemon, set out to fill out their Pokedex while competing in the Pokemon league, and take down a villainous organization in the process. For the most part, everything was cut and dry for the better part of the series' lifespan, aside from additions like new Pokemon, new types of battles, and changes in mechanics.However, it's safe to say that all of that changed with the introduction of the Pokemon X and Y games in October of 2013, which marked the…

Super Mario 3D All-Stars Games Might Come Back Some Day

The fated day of March 31 has come to pass. Mario hasn't exactly 'died', as all the memes said he would, but it was certainly a sad and important day for the Mario franchise. Nintendo has taken Super Mario Bros 35 offline, and it's no longer producing copies of Super Mario 3D All-Stars. This collection was a truly delightful thing to see assembled for the Switch, bringing some of Mario's best adventures together under one roof. Many fans are surely still upset with Nintendo for making Super Mario 3D All-Stars a highly limited time event. All three games on it were more than worthy of a…
