Hideki Kamiya säger att han lägger ner "blod, svett och tårar i Okami-uppföljaren"
Capcom firar just nu 20 år med {Okami}. Samtidigt som vi blickar fram mot den kommande, efterlängtade uppföljaren - där originalskaparen Hideki Kamiya återigen står vid rodret, denna gång med sin studio Clovers - passar man också på att se tillbaka på seriens rika historia. Det görs med ett meddelande från Kamiya själv samt ett hyllningsinlägg från Capcom.
Den officiella 20-årssajten är nu lanserad och innehåller ett vackert konstverk av Mari Shimazaki, en av originalets karaktärsdesigners. Bilden föreställer Amaterasu och övriga figurer från originalspelet, sammanbundna av ett rött band som symboliserar deras gemenskap. Kamiya själv skriver:
"Looking back, I still can't believe we got it out the door...but that's a story for another time! Seeing the support you've all poured into Ōkami since its original release, together with my immense pride for having worked on it, could not make me happier to celebrate this milestone. The enthusiasm and support you've all shown has helped sustain Ōkami's legacy for two long decades, in which time the game has had a second adventure, a striking HD remaster, and a range of official products and projects that make me as excited as a creator as I would be as a fan. I think the affection the staff has for Ōkami can be seen— No, can be FELT in each and every one of the things they create. Me and my collection of Amaterasu figures and plushies could not be more thankful.
Ōkami's influence can be felt in the connections people have built with the game, and with our continued support, I believe those connections will continue to deepen and expand well beyond its 20th anniversary. In the meantime, I'll be putting my blood, sweat, and tears into the new Ōkami sequel that you've all been waiting for!"
Vi har fortfarande inget lanseringsdatum för Okami-uppföljaren, men med tanke på att 20-årsjubileet infaller i år är det möjligt att vi får höra mer längre fram.
Hvem er de tyske pokalsemifinalister og kampene denne uge: Bayerns næste skridt mod treble?
Efter at Bayern München vandt Bundesligaen i sidste weekend med rekorden for flest scorede mål, vil de sigte efter at være det første hold til at vinde treble-titlen tre gange. I en af de sidste tilgængelige uger før semifinalerne i europæiske konkurrencer vil Tyskland være vært for DFB-Pokal-semifinalerne denne uge, den 22. april, onsdag og torsdag den 23. april. Bayer Leverkusen bliver Bayerns rival, mens Stuttgart, forsvarende mestre, vil sigte efter endnu en finale mod Freiburg.
I modsætning til deres dominans i Bundesligaen (alle 13 af de seneste 14 udgaver) har Bayern München kun vundet DFB-Pokal tre gange i de sidste ti år. De er stadig det mest dekorerede hold (20 titler i alt), men har ikke løftet det siden 2020, året hvor de også vandt Bundesligaen og Champions League.
I de sidste 15 år har der været otte forskellige tyske pokalvindere: udover Bayern inkluderer andre mestre Schalke 04 i 2011, Borussia Dortmund i 2012, 2017 og 2022, VfL Wolfsburg i 2015, Eintracht Frankfurt i 2018, RB Leipzig i 2022 og 2023, Bayer Leverkusen i 2024 og VfB Stuttgart i 2025.
DFB-Pokal semifinaler denne uge og finale
- Bayer Leverkusen vs. Bayern München: onsdag den 22. april, 20:45 CEST, 19:45 BST
- VfB Stuttgart vs. SC Freiburg: Torsdag den 23. april, kl. 20:45 CEST, 19:45 BST
- Finale: 23. maj
Vinderen af DFB-Pokal får automatisk kvalifikation til Europa League, en eftertragtet præmie til Stuttgart (fjerde i Bundesligaen), Leverkusen (sjette i ligaen) og Freiburg (syvendeplads). Vil du følge semifinalerne i den tyske pokal denne uge?
Cybersecurity expert turns cybercriminal, pleading guilty to 'conspiracy to deploy ransomware'
Getting hit with ransomware is seldom short of a nightmare situation. Finding out the call might just be coming from inside the house definitely kicks both the fear and the frustration up a notch. ipl-today.in
Three men who had previously worked in the cybersecurity industry have pleaded guilty to conspiring to deploy ransomware. Between April 2023 and November 2023, the group deployed Blackcat/ALPHV ransomware against a number of victims, extorting just one of these for $1.2 million in Bitcoin, according to the US Department of Justice.
The accused are Ryan Goldberg of Georgia, Kevin Martin of Texas, and Florida man Angelo Martino. Law enforcement has since seized $10 million worth of assets from Martino alone. This includes "digital currency, vehicles, a food truck, and a luxury fishing boat that Martino obtained using proceeds of the offense or acquired as a result of the offense."
While working as a ransomware negotiator for a cyber incident response company back in April 2023, Martino reportedly began to feed confidential information on five different ransomware victims to the very bad actors holding them to ransom. This info included the victim's insurance policy limits, thereby allowing the BlackCat bad actors to maximise the monetary amounts they were asking for.
After being paid by the attackers for his insider information, Martino allegedly began to launch ransomware attacks himself. He has since pleaded guilty to "one count of conspiracy to obstruct, delay or affect commerce or the movement of any article or commodity in commerce by extortion." Martino's alleged co-conspirators, Martin and Goldberg, pleaded guilty to the same charge last year. Each man faces the same maximum penalty of 20 years in prison.
BlackCat can refer to the ransomware written in Rust itself, or the threat actor group that used it. The 'cyber gang' also used the moniker ALPHV. The group previously hit Bandai Namco back in 2022, and Western Digital in 2023, though it is apparently now completely defunct.
That's in part due to the FBI cyber division's touted ransomware crackdown. That said, the Guardian reported that ransomware payments fell by $813 million globally in 2024 alone due to increased law enforcement efforts around the world, in addition to victims simply refusing to pay.
Most recently, we've seen hacker group ShinyHunters hold Rockstar to ransom mere months before GTA VI is set to launch. The deadline has since passed without Rockstar paying up, revealing ShinyHunters had little leverage in the first place.
Slay the Spire 2 bliver review-bombet af misfornøjede spillere
Selvom Slay the Spire 2 kom bragende ud af starthullerne med meget positive brugeranmeldelser, så har udvikler MegaCrit tiltrukket kritik fra selvsamme fans med efterfølgende opdateringer til spillet.
I skrivende stund er de seneste mange, mange brugeranmeldelser faldet til "Mixed" på Steam, hvor konsensus lader til at være at udvikleren har gjort spillet decideret værre siden lanceringen i starten af marts.
Der er relativ enighed om at udviklerne har gjort spillet for svært, og ikke på en strategisk spændende måde, men bare forringet kvaliteten af diverse builds og kort, samt "buffet" almindelige fjender til det punkt hvor det går ud over spillerens lyst til at eksperimentere.
"The game was very fun and interesting but changes have made so most choices are traps. In a game where you have such great variety and interesting designs, having mechanics that simply nulify 80% of the possible decks and will assure a defeat if you play outside of very narrow style is disapointing," siger én spiller.
Udvikleren har slået fast, at også de eksperimentere med balancering, og at spillere skal "trust the process".
