PaRappa the Rapper [Review]

Platform: PlayStation 4 Price: $14.99 Format: Physical and Digital Publisher: Sony Interactive Entertainment Developer: NanaOn-Sha and epics Release Date: April 4th, 2017 Age Rating: E PlayStation 4 Pro Support: Yes, Native 4K PaRappa the Rapper is a rhythm based game following a dog rapping his way to this girl he loves Sunny Funny’s heart. The original is now over 20 years old with the last in the series being PaRappa the Rapper 2 way back in 2002. Since the second title, we’ve only had a #PS2PS4 port of the second game and him being a playable character in PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royal way back in 2012. PaRappa has slowly over time became a PlayStation legend and will continue to be one. While I’m crazy in love with these games, I’m here to report some bad news. Each of the six levels features PaRappa’s journey doing various activities. He tries to bake a cake, get his licenses, learn karate, and more on his adventure.

EA’s E3 showcase last year was one of major spectacle, doing live online broadcasts with various famous people on their latest game.  Bethesda might be gearing to do something similarly exciting given their way of announcing their showcase event the Sunday before E3. Welcome to Bethesdaland, as the image reads, and shares the date we already knew (June 11) and when.  Bethesda will host their showcase at 6:30 p.m. in Los Angeles, but we still don’t know any specifics about what they’ll show.  According to GameZone, Bethesda will share details on how to get into their event soon. As E3 is just about two months away, we’ll likely hear more regarding various companies’ schedules the weekend before, as well as during the week of June 12.  Once we have a better idea why Bethesda has seemingly created an imaginary amusement park, we’ll up date you.  Until then, stay tuned to Rectify Gaming for the latest going into E3.

Activision is planning to bring Call of Duty to theaters near you

Following Activision Blizzard’s foray into game-universe productions with Skylanders Academy, The Guardian is reporting that the company is exploring the possibility of shaping the Call of Duty franchise into a cinematic universe.  Considering Call of Duty’s various settings and time periods, this could make for a broad selection of backdrops to future films. According to Game Informer, Activision Blizzard plan to “adapt Call of Duty into the world of film and television, drawing inspiration from the World War II era of the series, as well as the Black Ops and Modern Warfare eras.”  Apparently, the studio has already “put together this group of writers to talk about where we were going.  There’ll be a film that feels more like Black Ops, the story behind the story.”  The Guardian also reports that the movies are “going to have the same sort of high-adrenaline, high-energy aesthetic as the game, but it’s not a literal adaptation.” The most interesting aspect of this goal is a true cinematic universe.  Quoting Nick Van Dyk, co-president of Activision Blizzard, The Guardian writes about the aim of  mirroring how Marvel crafted “these individual universes that interconnect and a timeline that makes sense with consistent themes and Easter eggs.”  As with any video game movie, however, Call of Duty’s adaptation would have to first overcome the stereotype of being ‘made for the gamer’ and be not only accessible, but appealing, to a broader audience at the box office.  If we hear more on Call of Duty’s breakout-from-gaming debut, we’ll keep you updated, but until then be sure to stay tuned to Rectify Gaming for the latest.
