Tales of Berseria will be the new remaster from Bandai Namco

Bandai Namco has revealed that Tales of Berseria, a title released in 2016, will receive a remaster for PS5, Xbox Series X, PC, and Nintendo Switch. This decision has generated some confusion among the series’ fans, given that there are several older titles that could benefit from this treatment. The remastering of recent works is not unprecedented, especially in a context where titles like Horizon Zero Dawn and The Last of Us Part 1 have undergone similar revisions.

Bandai Namco has revealed that Tales of Berseria, a title released in 2016, will receive a remaster for PS5, Xbox Series X, PC, and Nintendo Switch. This decision has generated some confusion among fans of the series, given that there are several older titles that could benefit from this treatment. The remastering of recent works is not something unprecedented, especially in a context where titles like Horizon Zero Dawn and The Last of Us Part 1 have undergone similar revisions.

Not the Tales of that their fans were expecting

However, the inclusion of Berseria in the Tales Remaster project feels out of place, considering that it is already available on PS5 and PC through their respective platforms. Additionally, the remastered version will not be compatible with the new Switch 2 console due to “game progression issues,” leaving Xbox as the only new platform on which the title will be available.

The reactions on social media reflect the confusion and discontent among many users, who argue that older titles in the franchise, such as Tales of Abyss or Tales of Destiny, deserve this kind of attention. “I feel like I just finished the game,” commented Erik Mabry, QA manager at Zenimax Media, while other users expressed their frustration over the lack of remasterings of other iconic titles in the series.

Despite these doubts, Bandai Namco has stated that the remaster of Tales of Berseria will include new gameplay mechanics and quality of life features. This release is scheduled for February 27, and although it has generated debate, it also promises to offer players a renewed experience of a story cherished by fans.

These new adversaries can only be faced in online mode, adding a level of cooperation and strategy that will test the skills of the most dedicated players.

The expansion of Elden Ring Nightreign has begun with a new challenge that promises to intensify the gaming experience: the Sovereigns of Eternal Darkness have burst into Limveld, introducing a series of more powerful and aggressive temporary enemies. These new adversaries can only be faced in online mode, adding a level of cooperation and strategy that will test the skills of the most dedicated players.

If what you enjoy are challenges and having a hard time

According to an announcement by FromSoftware through the Bandai blog, the first Sovereign, known as Adel, Baron of the Night (Gaping Jaw), will be available until June 26. To challenge these enhanced versions, players must have previously defeated the standard version of the enemy. With each new Sovereign introduced weekly, starting with enemies like Gaping Jaw and Darkdrift Knight, the community is expected to come together to analyze and decipher the attack patterns of each enemy before they disappear from the map.

These encounters not only provide a greater challenge compared to the base game, but they also reward players with Sovereign Seals, unique items that can be exchanged for relics and other valuable items. Additionally, achieving an initial victory against each Sovereign will grant extra seals, encouraging participation in these special temporary events.

Bandai Namco has warned that encounters with the Sovereigns will require a high degree of precision and cooperation, as they feature renewed patterns and improved statistics. This new phase in the endgame of Elden Ring Nightreign not only marks the beginning of the so-called cycle of the Eternal Dark Sovereign but also a significant challenge for players who thought they had completed their experience in the game. The fight against darkness has begun, and only the most prepared will emerge victorious.

One of the world’s most beloved extraterrestrials returns to anime for its twentieth anniversary

Sergeant Keroro returns in anime form to celebrate its 20th anniversary, more than a decade after the conclusion of its first adaptation.

Twenty years are not celebrated every day. In addition, round numbers usually have a special meaning. Turning nineteen or twenty-one feels less like an event, perhaps because they are not as resonant numbers. Round. That’s why it shouldn’t surprise us that, when reaching this type of figures, popular franchises usually have some kind of triumphant comeback. Something that has happened with the 20th anniversary of Sergeant Keroro.

Bandai Namco Pictures announced on July 31st that they are producing a new anime based on the adorable manga by Mine Yoshizaki, Sergeant Keroro. Although they have not yet revealed the format, whether it will be a weekly series, a movie, or some kind of special, they have released a brief teaser to show us the return of our favorite frogs.

The anime series Sergeant Keroro began airing on April 3, 2004, with a total of 358 episodes over seven years. However, they have not adapted the entire manga, which began publishing in April 1999, is still ongoing today, and has already listed all its work in 33 volumes. This includes the publication of a dedicated magazine, Kerokero Ace, where other manga from Bandai Namco franchises, such as Cardfight!! Vanguard, are also published.

For those who are not familiar with anime or manga, Sergeant Keroro is the story of five alien soldiers in the form of frogs from the Planet Keron, who arrive on Planet Earth, which they call Planet Pekopon, on a conquest mission. Unfortunately, upon discovering that frogs are dissected on Earth, they decide to disband, leaving their leader, Sergeant Keroro, abandoned under the care of the Hirata Family, who treat him as a family pet.

Sergeant Keroro is an extremely popular anime and manga that has left a mark on an entire generation, and especially during the airing of its anime it reached a level of fame similar to other great animes, like One Piece. That’s why its return to the anime is great news, after 20 years of Keroro making us happy with his obsession with building plastic robots, rather than conquering the Earth.

The Naruto game accused of using AI for the voices… was only a product of Bandai’s ineptitude

It turns out that the title, which has been released for every imaginable console, had such low quality in the English dubbing that there are quite a few fans who have jumped to say that they had surely used artificial intelligence to save a few euros.

After a year of back and forth with artificial intelligence, the art world has finally started to realize the real (and negative) importance that generative AI can have. From creating questionably quality covers to producing primitive and dull writing, talentless individuals finally believe their time has come and they can compete on par with professionals. Consequently, the public has begun to raise eyebrows at all low-quality content, believing that AI is behind it… as if there haven’t been poor-quality products all along.

AI, absolutely!

That’s how we got to the game ‘Naruto x Boruto Ultimate Ninja Storm Connections’, which seems like a tongue twister in itself. It turns out that the title, released for all imaginable consoles, had such poor quality in the English dubbing that many fans have jumped to say that surely they had used artificial intelligence to save a few euros.

The surprise was even greater when Bandai Namco admitted that they hadn’t used AI, but simply, when editing and mastering the voices, there were inconsistencies, and therefore, the game was left (and released) in that state. By the way, the voice actors don’t share the same opinion: Mike Flanagan posted on Twitter (and then deleted) “I can guarantee that I didn’t say that line in that way,” and others, like Michael Schwalbe, have expressed the same about their own performances.

In fact, Schwalbe claims to have run the dialogues through a program that detects AI and it came out positive, contradicting the producer’s statement. Whether they used AI or not, the truth is that the game, which is actually a compilation of others with a couple of new screens, has not succeeded at all and has not gained any notoriety beyond the disastrous use of sound. Bandai Namco has tried to put out the fire with a water pistol by assuring that the dialogue will be heard correctly thanks to a future patch.

Honestly, by this point, we can begin to sense that AI is a solution to a non-existent problem, and it’s only going to serve a handful of millionaires to save a few thousand euros… which they’ll later have to spend again to fix crisis campaigns due to things like these. And this is just the beginning.
