Take-Two Boss Gives Hope For LA Noire 2 And Other Sequels

Take-Two Boss Gives Hope For LA Noire 2 And Other Sequels https://ift.tt/EKd1RNT At the inaugural iicon event in Las Vegas today, Take-Two boss Strauss Zelnick gave a speech in which he gave some hope--but not much--for sequels to L.A. Noire and others. Zelnick was asked if Take-Two was planning to do more with L.A. Noire. He said, "Yes," before saying, "You never know," according to Game File . More broadly, Zelnick said Take-Two is constantly thinking about where it could take all of its franchises. "The answer broadly is we're looking at doing something in the future with all of our intellectual property, but nothing to announce," he said, adding that any announcement about a Rockstar franchise would come from Rockstar, not Take-Two.

Best Of 2023: Hi-Fi Rush's Roquefort Fight Proves That Boss Battles Can Still Be Exciting

Best Of 2023: Hi-Fi Rush's Roquefort Fight Proves That Boss Battles Can Still Be Exciting https://ift.tt/QtxUSEq

Following the lukewarm reception to its latest horror game Ghostwire: Tokyo, few might have expected the next game from the Shinji Mikami led-Tango Gameworks to be a brightly colored, rhythm-based character-action game. Hi-Fi Rush saw a surprise release early in 2023, arguably kicking off the stellar year of unexpected brilliance with its tightly designed combat, incredibly likable cast of rebels, and standout boss fights. Each one of Hi-Fi Rush's numerous boss fights is memorable for one reason or another (the scale and complexity of the final fight against Kale is as awe-inspiring as the first fast-paced duel with antagonist-turned-ally Korsica), but none come close to comparing with what might be the most adrenaline-fuelled three-phase fight of the year: Roquefort.

Like much of Hi-Fi Rush, Roquefort isn't memorable because of his outright challenge. The character-action presented in Tango Gameworks' latest pairs rhythm-based sensibilities with the flow of traditional character-action, equipped with an engaging scoring system that judges your aptitude at balancing both. Smart touches around each stage consistently remind you of the beat you need to keep when inputting presses for combos, while enemy attacks (mostly) adhere to the same beat, only breaking out in half-steps when trying to trip you up. Roquefort is the culmination of everything you've learnt about this blend of genres to that point, acting as the penultimate boss that is meant to gatekeep your progress from the game's eventual most-challenging foe, both figuratively and literally.
