Netflix's top gaming boss, Alain Tascan, has said he questions whether or not young people these days even care about consoles. Speaking at an event at GDC 2025 recently, Tascan said he personally enjoys console gaming, but he's not sure if it's where gaming is headed in the future. Of course, Tascan would say this, as his company, Netflix Games, does not make consoles and is instead intent on pushing people toward streaming and subscription services. "[When it comes to] console, we started to look at the future where the platform is agnostic," he said, as reported by The Game Business. "Look at the younger generation. Are eight-year-olds and 10-year-olds dreaming of owning a PlayStation 6? I am not sure. They are wanting to interact with any digital screen, whatever it is, wherever it is, even in the car. With console you're thinking about high definition, you're thinking about the controller […] If we look at this older model, I think it will restrain us."Before this Microsoft Gaming CEO Phil Spencer has said for years that Microsoft is pushing beyond consoles into places like streaming and mobile to help reach a bigger audience. The audience for console gaming is only so large, Spencer and others have said. For what it's worth, Spencer has also said consoles will absolutely be a part of Microsoft's future in gaming.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

A new report is raising more questions about when Nintendo Switch 2 preorders will go live at major retailers, with two conflicting dates now circulating.The report comes from Insider Gaming, which states it has seen internal emails and documents from a large US retailer confirming the Switch 2 will release in June (as has been heavily rumored). However, the documents also state preorders for Switch 2 will go live on April 9, a week after a Switch 2-focused Nintendo Direct on April 2 that will offer more details about the console and, presumably, its release date and launch games. According to the retailer documents, the Nintendo Direct will state preorders will be "coming soon" and reveal a countdown clock that will end on April 9. This specific retailer, which Insider Gaming did not reveal, will also reportedly include an "exclusive collectible coin" for those who preorder the console. The retailer anticipates to sell out of its Switch 2 allotment on the first day due to a "limited unit allocation" from Nintendo, according to Insider Gaming.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

The Fortnite Festival Edition CRKD Neo S is on sale for $50 at Amazon during the retailer's Big Spring Sale. Normally $60, the $10 discount matches the best deal yet for CRKD's awesome wireless Nintendo Switch and PC controller. The officially licensed gamepad has a 5-fret button attachment, making it the ideal way to play Fortnite's Guitar Hero-esque game mode with a standard controller. CRKD Neo S Fortnite Festival Edition Controller for PC & Switch $50 (was $60) See at Amazon Released at the end of 2024 and designed by the team behind Guitar Hero and DJ Hero controllers, the Neo S Fortnite Festival Edition is reminiscent of the 4-fret attachment that slotted into the Game Boy Advance slot on the DS.

Dragonlance Chronicles Hardcover Omnibus $28 (was $35) See at Amazon See at Walmart The most celebrated Dungeons & Dragons novel series was reissued last month in a stunning hardcover omnibus edition containing the original three-part story. Written by Margaret Weis and Tracy Hickman, the 1,056-page Dragonlance Chronicles trilogy quickly became a bestseller, which has led to stock shortages at multiple retailers. Amazon just restocked this doorstopper and is offering a 20% discount that drops the price from $35 down to $27.83. Third-party resellers have the book listed for $29 at Walmart, but buying directly from Walmart (shipped and sold) will cost you $34.15.

As pleasant as it might be for us if the world were exclusively full of nice people, that's not necessarily the right formula for an entertaining life sim video game. If all the characters in InZoi only gave each other compliments, it would get boring immediately--fortunately, that's not what InZoi is like at all. Here's a full explainer of how InZoi karma works.Table of Contents [hide]InZoi karma explainedInZoi karma explainedIn InZoi, you can be a good Zoi or a bad Zoi, and your behavior is reflected by your karma level. InZoi's karma is not something that has a direct parallel in The Sims 4--the closest mechanic would be its reputation system, but that's based on what other characters think of you, and this karma system is more like the game's judgment of your behavior.With that being the case, it's best to think of InZoi's karma as akin to a dark side/light side meter in a Star Wars game, or the renegade/paragon system from Mass Effect. The more your karma slides one way or the other, the more options you'll have to do things that correspond with your alignment. If you have bad karma, you'll unlock new methods for being a jerk, like picking fights and shoving people to the ground for no reason. You'll even be able to start committing crimes, like robbing ATMs. You can go to jail for that kind of thing, though, so be careful.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

One of the more interesting aspects of any life sim for me is always going to be the generational gameplay. While the game worlds of InZoi and The Sims are frozen in time, the families that dwell in them are not. They live, work, have kids, and die, just like we do. It's a fun and not-so-serious way to reflect on some potentially very heavy subjects. But first things first: you can't have generational gameplay until you start making some babies. And in InZoi, making babies is slightly less straightforward than it is in real life.As it is in The Sims, your Zois cannot get pregnant in InZoi simply by having sex. Your Zoi can participate in all the carnal activities they can convince other Zois to do with them, but they're just not going to get pregnant by accident. To try to get pregnant, your Zois will first have to get married and move in together. It's obviously no minor task, of course, to attract a life mate, but we can help with that with Inzoi romance guide, which covers flirting, dating, getting married, and, of course, getting naked.How to have a baby in InZoiOnly female Zois can become pregnant, and there currently aren't any options for adoption, surrogacy, or any other alternative methods. But it's likely some or all of that will be added at some later time.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

While InZoi does many things that The Sims does not, some aspects of Krafton's new Early Access life sim are very similar to features we've seen The Sims 4. One of these is InZoi's Ambitions system, which is essentially identical to The Sims' Aspirations. You choose an ambition, like becoming an expert artist, and then you'll have to complete a series of related tasks that award a currency that will allow you to buy upgrades. But while these systems look the same, in execution they actually function very differently. Here's what to know about InZoi Donuts and hoe to get more of them.Table of Contents [hide]InZoi donuts explainedInZoi donuts explainedIf you've spent time with The Sims 4 lately, InZoi's Ambitions will be very familiar. When you're creating your Zois, you pick an Ambition for each of them, and each Ambition includes three waves of tasks. If you pick the Pro Musician Ambition, you'll start by buying an instrument and playing it three times; wave two requires you to play drums ten times, and play any instrument while feeling sentimental; and wave three requires you to max out your instrument skill (all instruments fall under this one skill) and play guitar 20 times.Each wave of tasks that you complete will award you with NyanCoins, with each successive wave of tasks giving more than the previous wave. And then you'll spend those NyanCoins on donuts, which you can purchase from the "Meow Coins" menu on your Zoi card. But these aren't just any donuts--these donuts come with a timed buff.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com
