What year is it? The ninja behind early 2000s internet video series Ask a Ninja clearly anticipated the reflexive reaction to his first new video in nine years, leading off with an instant parry. "What year isn't it?" he says within the first three seconds. "If you're still believing in time, my friend, I don't know what to tell you. Have you ever heard of the internet? Everything lasts forever on the internet! Except MySpace photos, or if you had a Flickr Pro account.

I sat down for a demo of Chinese action game Phantom Blade Zero with two main curiosities. First was how its combat compares to last year's Black Myth: Wukong, and it turns out: pretty different. Second was the backstory of S-Game studio founder "Soulframe" Liang, who started his career with an RPG Maker game while studying architecture in college. Where did I go wrong in my life that I didn't end up adopting a pseudonym like Soulframe?

As soon as I sat down to play it, the developers of Phantom Blade Zero were eager to tell me that they motion captured the movements from real kung fu masters to ensure their game was as "authentic" as possible. They're also very aware that when the game was first revealed, players thought it looked "too choreographed" to be real gameplay, and have made two separate demos in the last year to convince everyone it's the real deal. So far, I'd say it's working.
Today's RPG fans are 'very sensitive to feeling like they wasted time' when they die, says Metaphor: ReFantazio battle planner-but Atlus still made combat hard anyway | PC Gamer

According to HowLongToBeat, Atlus's 2024 RPG Metaphor: ReFantazio is a mere 65-and-a-half hours long—if you stick to the critical path.
