The Pokémon speak in Pokémon Pokopia . Usually, they're really cute and nice. Sometimes, they betray their very nature , or they're a little bit creepy or really quite sad . And sometimes, they're just silly and downright weird. If you’ve been waiting for years to hear what the Pocket Monsters have to say for themselves, now’s your lucky moment. While some of it’s exactly what you’d expect, other Pokémon are full of surprises. Read on to get filled in on some of the oddest dialogue we’ve stumbled across in Pokopia so far. source https://www.polygon.com/pokemon-pokopia-dialogue-weird/

During this year’s Game Developers Conference , Sandfall Interactive lifted the curtain on how it was able to create Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 with a small team of programmers. The studio’s secret? The studio barely wrote any code of its own and heavily relied on pre-built Unreal Engine tools to create features. source https://www.polygon.com/clair-obscur-expedition-33-gdc-panel/

For its remake of the 2003 third-person horror classic, Koei Tecmo can’t shy away from its past either. The new version of Fatal Frame 2 resurrects a beloved but imperfect cult classic by staying true to its quirks and emphasizing its enduring horror. That faithful task is counterbalanced by a more radical reinvention that struggles to rewrite history convincingly. The tension makes for an uneven remake that’s too eager to hide from its past in the safe shadow of modernization. source https://www.polygon.com/fatal-frame-2-remake-impressions/

As a result, Microsoft has abandoned the last vestiges of console exclusivity for any of its games, even including Xbox stalwarts like Halo, Forza, and Gears of War. Exclusivity to Game Pass on day one took the place the consoles had once occupied. But that service seems to have hit its ceiling, long before it can pay for itself. Microsoft has finally solved the drought of first-party games that plagued it during the Xbox One era and the first years of the Xbox Series — but, ironically, it has nowhere useful to put all those games (other than on PC and PS5). source https://www.polygon.com/next-xbox-release-date-price-project-helix/

Star Wars' upcoming film, The Mandalorian and Grogu , featuring bounty hunter Din Djarin (Pedro Pascal) and his companion Grogu, is edging closer and closer. We've had a Super Bowl trailer , a teaser spotlighting director Martin Scorsese as an alien , and an image shared of a seriously jacked Rotta the Hutt. What's next? An answer to a burning question for Grogu fans: whether the little guy will speak more than baby babble in his big-screen debut. source https://www.polygon.com/the-mandalorian-grogu-talk-kathleen-kennedy/

Despite competition from box-office-crushing hobbits, X-Men, and Autobots, Christopher Nolan’s Interstellar landed as one of 2014’s big theatrical hits . But its ultimate legacy wasn’t clear at the time of that success: Would the tear-jerking story of a father crossing the expanse of space to save Earth and his children back home go down as a modern classic, or just another notch on Nolan’s blockbuster belt? source https://www.polygon.com/interstellar-2001-space-odyssey-influence-project-hail-mary/
