Sonic the Hedgehog 3 zipped into theatres this past weekend, and so far we're having a pretty good time with it. Amid the delight of learning there would be a fourth Sonic the Hedgehog film and finding out that the film's ending teases yet another new Sonic character for that film, there's still one major question on everyone's minds: where is Big the Cat?Okay, sure, it's maybe not the most pressing question ever, but we did have a chance to sit down with Sonic the Hedgehog trilogy writers Pat Casey and Josh Miller to ask where everyone's favorite fisherman kitty has been all this time.

The Borderlands Movie hit box offices back in August to poor results, to say the least. But Take-Two Interactive CEO Strauss Zelnick doesn't think the film hurt the Borderlands video game franchise at all. In fact, if anything, he thinks the movie was good for the games.Speaking to IGN ahead of the company's Q2 earnings call today, Zelnick admitted that Borderlands hadn't performed as well as he'd hoped, but that he doesn't feel too torn up about it:"Obviously that movie was disappointing," he said. "That said, it actually sold more catalog. So, I don't think it hurt at all, if anything I think it may have helped a little bit.

Most games, when they launch, experience an initial rush of sales that quickly tapers off to a steady tricky over time. If you're a live service game, you're lucky if you can keep your returning and new player numbers steady long-term. But The Sims 4 is currently dealing with the exact opposite of that trend: ten years after launch, it just brought in over 15 million new players in a year.This comes from EA's Q2 earnings, which released today. The 15 million figure is fairly shocking for a ten-year-old game, even given that the base game has been free-to-play since 2022. For some perspective, it took The Sims 4 four years after launch to reach 20 million unique players (this was back when it was a premium game). When it first went free-to-play, it gained a whopping 31 millio…

Prime's Like a Dragon: Yakuza series is out now, and while it's certainly an interesting adaptation of the infamous Like a Dragon series, we weren't totally keen on it for a number of reasons.Among its many glaring omissions is most of the silly, recreational goofiness that Kiryu and his buddies get up to in the games. But fortunately, Prime Video tried to rectify that just a little bit by posting a clip of Kiryu at karaoke, singing one of the series' most iconic songs:And now, a song. #LikeADragon @PrimeVideo pic.twitter.com/8npKGvYFcC— RGG Studio | Like a Dragon & Yakuza Series (@RGGStudio) October 26, 2024 That is, of course Baka Mitai, or I've Been a Fool, Kiryu's signature song from the games that he's been able to sing at just about every poss…
