The team behind Ghost of Yotei has released a video on the official PlayStation YouTube channel detailing the New Game Plus update, which is coming as part of the free patch 1.100.000. This mode lets you start the game over with all your previously unlocked equipment and abilities, giving you a head start in combat.

This isn’t the first time King’s story has been adapted for the screen. Back in 1987, Arnold Schwarzenegger starred in The Running Man, but it was quite different. Instead of keeping the dark and realistic tone of the book, the movie went for a more humorous, over-the-top, and visually flashy approach with plenty of action. While reviews were mixed when it first came out, it’s since gained a dedicated following as a cult classic.

The game’s art style immediately stands out. To create this look, Square Enix actually made physical dolls of each main character. This allowed them to carefully craft details like clothing textures. They then scanned these dolls to use as digital models, and built the entire game’s visuals to match. The result is a handcrafted aesthetic that feels surprisingly warm and inviting. While the game is viewed from a classic RPG top-down perspective, the characters are remarkably detailed, and you get an even closer look during cutscenes and battles.

The 2010s saw a remarkable run of excellent sequels. Many of these films surpassed their originals, even when the first movie was already well-regarded. These sequels achieved both massive commercial success and critical acclaim, proving they were improvements on what came before.

The first issue of I Am Santa definitely sets a unique tone for this holiday-themed series. It boldly introduces the genuine Santa Claus into the world of Spawn, but with a dark twist: Santa is tracking a cruel killer who has made things deeply personal.

I was particularly curious about the art style changes in this remake, without getting into specific plot details. Dragon Quest VII has been remade before – the 3DS version had a major visual overhaul compared to the original PlayStation game’s angled perspective. This new remake, Dragon Quest VII Reimagined, aims for a look closer to the original, but with a unique approach. The main characters were first designed as physical dolls, which then served as the foundation for their in-game appearances. I even saw these dolls at the Tokyo Game Show, and the way they were translated into the digital game is surprisingly realistic.
