RAManimator adds animated graphics to emulated games with no ROM editing

ICYMI: Back in April we covered the ROM hacking efforts to add fifth-generation animated sprites to third generation games. It remains a thoroughly impressive project, though naturally requires whatever game you're playing to have implemented these sprites into the larger hack. RAManimator takes a completely different approach to the same problem, instead manipulating memory in real time through scripts running in an emulator. The results are seriously impressive.

At the time of writing, all...

Monster Hunter Wilds DLC, Final Fantasy 7 Revelation, Resident Evil: Veronica, and more - the big reveals of Summer Game Fest

ICYMI: With the Summer Game Fest presentation having run its course yesterday, I'm here to compress the key announcements into one lovely post for your convenience. If you want to sit through the whole presentation, you can find it just above regardless. I will note there were technical issues throughout when watching live, with frequent audio desyncing, so it might not be the nicest watch unless they fixed those for the VOD.

Pokemon Infinite Fusion sequel announced, set in Hoenn region with more than 70 new Pokemon

ICYMI: For those who missed the original fan-game, Pokemon Infinite Fusion is a hugely popular title retelling the events of Kanto with a twist: every Pokemon can be fused with every other Pokemon. Combining typing, stats, move pools, and more, this created hundreds of thousands of combinations to make every playthrough genuinely unique. Add to this a new storyline that makes use of fused Pokemon with a genuinely challenging finale, and you have one of the best Pokemon fan-games to date. And with...
