It feels like racing games are often excused from needing to tell stories; even as players, we’ve been trained to expect little more from the genre than schlocky tales of midnight street racing, if there’s even any context to the action at all. That can be just fine as many players only care about the feel of the driving, but there’s so much potential for fresh ideas. That’s why I’m curious about Resistor, an upcoming racing RPG whose lead developer, Violet McVinnie, previously worked on cinematics and narrative for titles like Mass Effect and Dragon Age. There’s a lot of potential for Resistor to be something unique, and while my brief demo only let me preview a small slice of the game, I’m hopeful it will prove that racing games can indeed tell deeper stories than they typically do.
Wondering where to find Raging Bolt as part of Pokemon Scarlet and Violet’s The Indigo Disk DLC? We’ve got you covered there.
Raging Bolt is a past paradox form of Raikou, and it’s brand new to the DLC. Whereas Raikou is a pure Electric-type Pokemon, Raging Bolt is an Electric/Dragon-type modeled after a dinosaur. Walking Wake, a fellow member of its trio, was already available in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet’s base game via a limited-time Tera Raid Battle event. That’s not the case for Raging Bolt, however – as long as you’re playing Pokemon Scarlet (the game it’s exclusive to), you’ll be able to catch it for yourself with no time limit.
Bandai Namco has put out the official opening movie for Spy x Anya: Operation Memories. Snippets of gameplay and other scenes are sprinkled throughout.

A new round of gameplay is here for Metro Quester, a hack and slash dungeon exploration RPG. Kemco published it digitally this week.
For more information about it, read the following overview:
Square Enix is ringing in the winter season with one of its biggest sales yet, as a bunch of games are at their lowest prices ever on the Switch eShop – notably Final Fantasy VII, VIII, and IX plus Star Ocean: First Departure R, Romancing SaGa 2, and more. Over fifty games are included.
Here’s the full rundown:
Falcom recently held a financial results briefing, and during the event, one investor had some criticism for the graphics in Ys X: Nordics. President Toshihiro Kondo responded with some interesting comments.
Kondo mentioned that Falcom is giving consideration to the graphics in its games, but the main issue seems to be time. With the company looking to put out at least one new game each year – whether it’s Ys, The Legend of Heroes, or something else – maximizing visuals isn’t an easy task. Falcom is also putting out new titles with under 100 employees.
