Far Cry 6 narrative director Navid Khavari has issued a lengthy statement on the politics of the game, following a backlash to a quote of his last week.

It's time to stop making excuses for myself - I care a lot about the rules of narrative, right until I obviously don't. Otherwise there's no way to explain my fascination with World's End Club and the many convenient excuses it makes for itself. While this is the first Too Kyo game both Zero Escape director Kotaro Uchikoshi and Danganronpa creator Kazutaka Kodaka have worked on together, Uchikoshi designed the scenario, and the story at least seems to bear his handwriting. World's End Club is reminiscent of Uchokoshi's approach to storytelling - he famously admitted to wanting to tell a story people remember, whether it's good or not.

Exactly five years ago, Digital Foundry Retro was born! At the time, it was an experiment more than anything else, focusing on just one version of id software's Quake - the astonishing Sega Saturn version, built from scratch by Lobotomy Software.

A half-decade on from the release of that video, DF Retro returns to Quake, this time covering it in its entirety: the game, the technology, the ports and the legacy.

With E3 fast approaching, video game news is cranking into gear. This week, we reported on Nintendo's plan to announce the Switch Pro ahead of June's show, with an autumn release date in the schedule. If the Nintendo Switch Pro launches in time for Christmas, does that mean Breath of the Wild 2 is out then, too? And what about Metroid Prime 4?

The coins were all it took. A sudden burst of them, twisting into the sky and then scattering along the ground. Thick coins and golden, edges wide enough to spin and spin and never fall flat. Mario has the best coins I guess, using dancing, dipping lines of them to lead and to teach. But Wonder Boy has my favourite coins, each downed baddy lobbing them into the air in greedy gouts.

The premise is exquisite: a peek beyond the gates of that curiously nondescript Kyoto office block that Nintendo calls home to see how the magic is made; not so much getting a golden ticket for the factory tour and more about getting a step-by-step guide from Wonka himself on the process, so you might see where all that sweetness and light comes from. The execution seems typically Nintendo; often inspired, at other points frustrating but never anything less than fascinating.
