Detective Conan - Main Theme (1996)
Even the sky looks tired here
Sega is releasing a porcelain Sonic statue for the series’ 35th anniversary.
The piece is called Infinite Blue. Porcelain brand YOYOYO is selling 50 of them in Japan from October 9, at ¥1 million each (about $6,300).
Sega and YOYOYO say the blue comes from gosu, a cobalt pigment that does not fade. The work is split between two kilns from Arita, the birthplace of Japanese porcelain.
Five go first-come at a Tokyo pop-up. The rest are a lottery, and the store ships internationally.
Still… $6,300 for a porcelain Sonic is a lot of rings.

Watching over the Cyber City
Looks like Dead by Daylight is running a YoRHa-style transmission.
The teaser opens with “TO ALL” and says the signal is compromised.
It warns that recent messages are not to be trusted, then says “We are no longer the only ones broadcasting.”
The type and layout match a YoRHa boot screen. The studio still has not named the collaboration.

Activision is reportedly looking at a Halo reboot, with the work sitting inside Sledgehammer Games.
A report says the first campaign idea was a soft reboot that would skip Halo Infinite’s story without retconning older canon. A plan for two separate games was dropped for one title with campaign and multiplayer.
Teams have already prototyped basic mechanics, and the project is early enough that plans can still change.
Activision has only confirmed it is making the next Halo, on a team separate from Call of Duty.

Minecraft Dungeons II reviews are in, and the scores land in the mid-70s.
Nintendo Life’s roundup puts Metacritic at 75, OpenCritic at 77, and the user score at 8.2.
Destructoid went 9/10. IGN went 6/10. Most of the rest sit between those two.
Higher marks cite flashier combat, more builds, and the new Sift realm. The lower ones call the combat shallow and the endgame thin.
Nintendo Life’s own Switch 2 review is still on the way.

A new mod lets you play Diablo 2: Resurrected in first-person and third-person.
D2R-3D adds free camera control. F12 turns it on, the mouse wheel zooms, and holding the middle mouse button lets you drag the view.
You can run the whole game in third-person, or zoom all the way in for first-person. It does not change the core game.
The standalone build is still experimental. It can trip the game’s integrity check and crash after about a minute.

MGS2, 2001. Shoot the champagne bucket in a bar that never matters and the ice cubes melt until they’re gone. Most games still won’t bother. Kojima hid that detail on purpose.
Just a quiet night underground
i dont know why ppl still on PlayStation just switch to pc. Sony ditching discs, PS6 probably no drive, and people still acting like it’s the only option. Like what?? No resale, full price forever, and the fanbase just keeps lining up. PC got sales, mods, and you actually own your stuff.

Gen Urobuchi’s first ending for Walpurgisnacht Rising got reworked before it hit theaters.
Urobuchi, the main writer on Puella Magi Madoka Magica, told Kyodo News that director Akiyuki Shinbo wanted to “change the ending after all.” The team went back to his draft, with tweaks.
The story stays the same up to the midway point. What changed, he said, was the presentation, reworked so it “offers a sense of salvation.”
His usual habit is writing characters out of the story. This time, he said, there were no gasp moments. He called that a good decision, and said the film became a lighter watch.
So the ending he wrote stayed. What changed is how hard it lands.

Somewhere between the rails and the smoke
Serafini Productions has shown BrokenLore: MIKI-CHAN, a first-person horror game about a study AI that gets too close.
It follows Kazuaki, a student trying to pass the entrance exam for Teidai. He plugs in a USB study program, and the assistant on it, Miki-chan, starts taking a personal interest.
The studio said the idea dates to 2023, with full production starting last summer. While testing an early build, the team said, “our own character managed to scare us.”
No release date was given.
