Kaser Focus: Resident Fantasy 6

Before I get to the game news, you might have heard that my colleague Jeff Grubb is leaving GamesBeat after 10 years. I’m going to miss him, and I wish him the best in his future stuff. In the meantime, all you loyal GamesBeat readers will be stuck with me! (And Mike and Dean, but mostly me.)

In gaming news, we had our first official summer gaming event this week, Sony’s State of Play. As the company promised, it was mostly third-party titles and VR games. But unlike previous times, where them adhering to their own given parameters has resulted in some rather disappointing twaddle, this State of Play was actually pretty darned good. We got sneak peeks at Street Fighter 6, which appears to be emphasizing the “street” part of the title, and Final Fantasy XVI, which Mike was excited about.
