Remedy Entertainment has been busily finishing things up with their latest surreal survival horror game, Alan Wake 2. Can one ever truly be prepared to take on The Dark Place again after all this time? We managed to sneak through Los Angeles traffic for a press event to get some hands-on time with the much-anticipated sequel, and have our impressions ready for you now.
A Fresh Face
Our session saw us start with the new protagonist, FBI Agent Saga Anderson, as she is deep in the woods and exploring the quaint mountain town of Watery. This is her third mission – the introduction was not spoiled for us. This area featured a “live” singer at a local bar, and started off simply enough. We were trying to find more information on the whereabouts of “The Clicker,” a cut-off light switch that Alan Wake had when he was a child. After talking to the locals, a lead can be found that leads Saga to a place known as Coffee World, a locally-owned and terribly-themed amusement park. You can guess what its theme is from the name. The whole time, other characters whom Saga has never met before talk with her as if she is a local, even helping her find the keys to “her” trailer. It’s all surreal and trippy, and there are of course Taken enemies to fight. Not that we needed evidence that the game was in active development, but we were warned ahead of time to not mess with a cleaning station that looked like it was ripped straight out of Control. This seemingly innocuous object was actually how players are allowed to change characters – but the mechanic had a bug that would likely cause our demo to glitch out in session-ending ways — something which we’re hoping will get fixed before launch.
Saga brings with her the same combat mechanics as Alan, but also something called a Mind Place. It exists as a construct in Saga’s mind, and is a 3D location the player can walk around in, at almost any point while playing as Saga. It’s part of the pause menu, in fact. However, the world outside of this Mind Place continues to move along, so the player has to be wary about using this when in combat or near enemies. Alan Wake has a Writer’s Room, which is a similar space that the player can walk around in and perhaps figure something out to move things along. Saga can use a case board to intuit the connection between two seemingly unrelated pieces of information. You sift through various clues collected by picking items up, talking with people, or observing events. Then, you literally pin photos and notes on a board, and if they are placed in the right spot, Saga explains the connection.
The Plot Thickens
Alan, meanwhile, has access to a Plot Board. As his adventure progresses, Alan will remember different Scenes of the area he currently finds himself in. Then, by performing certain actions, interacting with, or finding some items can unlock Plot Elements. These are descriptions that can be applied to the Scenes he has unlocked. While we didn’t have a lot of time with this particular mechanic, we were able to make places haunted by discovering a plot element. This has the effect of changing the look and feel of a Scene, while also altering it in some way that may help Alan to find a way forward. This is no doubt possible thanks to Remedy’s work in Control, where the levels would alter themselves right in front of you, and it will be interesting to see all the different ways that Alan’s surroundings can be changed by the mere application of some words.
Combat has taken on a more central role in Alan Wake 2, though of course it is not the only way you progress as puzzles are also present. With a Resident Evil-like grid-based inventory system, resource management will no doubt be crucial in higher difficulty settings or later in the campaign. Besides a new melee attack, both Alan and Saga have access to pistols, shotguns, and more, and so you won’t feel so helpless against the monsters of the darkness. Light still plays an important factor in fights, as you can use your flashlight to perform a charged attack which temporarily stuns most enemies. In addition, most enemies have a dark aura about them which acts like a shield against most damage, thus necessitating that you remember to wield your flashlight as a weapon ahead of pumping those enemies full of lead.
Survival of the Sanest
Games like Alan Wake take some time to get acclimated to, and it has been a couple of years since I last played Remedy’s last major non-remake release, Control. As we didn’t have all the time in the world (indeed, our play session was only a couple of hours in length, divided by an intermission as we transitioned from playing as Saga to playing as Alan), members of the development team were on-hand to help guide us through some of the game’s more abstract puzzles. And they definitely were abstract, requiring, for instance, the use of an “Angel Lamp” that Alan had in his possession to acquire a limited number of charges of light in order to change which version of the city he was currently walking through. My game glitched and my game’s UI was apparently not showing the number of charges collected; a known bug Remedy was due to fix prior to the game going gold.
Enemy encounters may be more bullet-filled than prior Alan Wake games, but there is still plenty of tension to be found with limited health and ammunition, fast enemies, and a finite inventory space. Another pre-release glitch we encountered prevented us from picking up items even when we could hold more of that particular item (such as healing items). Only by dropping an item already in our inventory could we then pick up what we wanted, even though we would only end up stacking it anyway. Dropping items also immediately removes them from the game, which feels like a last-generation feature and was a surprising limitation to keep in mind when deciding which items to keep, and which to leave behind.
Time to Get Excited
While we’ve experienced a few bugs here and there in our preview build, I won’t lose any sleep over it considering Remedy Entertainment’s track record. Inventory issue aside, the other issues seen were visual and did not detract from the experience. The game looks, sounds, and feels like an Alan Wake game, perhaps the best iteration yet thanks in no small part to the learnings acquired during the development of Remedy’s other titles such as Quantum Break and Control. It’s exciting to be able to finally get back into the mind of Alan Wake, and now, Saga Anderson, with some new mechanics to conquer and also cases to solve.
Graphically, Alan Wake 2 is a feast for the eyes. Of course, we were playing on PCs no doubt spec’d out with the latest CPU, RAM, M.2 SSDs, and RTX GPUs on the market, on 65-inch OLED TV sets. Even so, Remedy Entertainment has left the previous generation of consoles behind, so this no doubt raises the minimum fidelity of Alan Wake 2. Some environments looked incredibly realistic, especially Alan Wake’s mission when he walked around the city. Audio work is first-class: you’ll probably get more intense moments playing this game on a good pair of headphones, or at the very least a surround sound system.
Alan Wake 2 is on track to be the perfect kind of creepy, mind-bending game to take us into the holiday season when it launches on October 27. Some of its puzzles will stump gamers for a while, and in a single-player game that is part of the appeal. Get ready to set the stage for some delightfully eerie encounters that only Remedy knows how to craft best. Alan Wake 2 will release on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series consoles.

In a surprising move, Electronic Arts (EA) has taken down all FIFA games from digital storefronts. The agreement between EA and FIFA ended with FIFA 23, and the new game has been rebranded as EA Sports FC 24. Nevertheless, no prior notice or alerts were provided before the removal, catching everyone off guard.
There is a possibility that these games will return to the stores again, likely with a new name. However, this is all speculation for now, and we hope that EA addresses this issue sooner rather than later.
As EA remains tight-lipped about the motivations behind this unprecedented move, the gaming community awaits further information, hoping for clarity regarding the fate of their beloved FIFA titles and the future direction of EA Sports’ football gaming offerings.

Those not familiar with the game, here’s the official Steam description:
ABOUT THIS GAME
RISE ABOVE OUR RUIN
Join Aloy as she braves the Forbidden West, a deadly frontier that conceals mysterious new threats.
This Complete Edition allows you to enjoy the critically acclaimed Horizon Forbidden West™ in its entirety with bonus content, including the Burning Shores story expansion that picks up after the main game.
– Brave an expansive open world – discover distant lands, new enemies, rich cultures and striking characters.
– A majestic frontier – explore the lush forests, sunken cities and towering mountains of a far-future America.
– Confront new dangers – engage in strategic battles against enormous machines and mounted human enemies by using weapons, gear and traps crafted from salvaged parts.
– Unravel startling mysteries – uncover the secret behind Earth’s imminent collapse and unlock a hidden chapter in the ancient past… one that will change Aloy forever.
In case you’re curious whether it’s worth the money, go read our (spoiler-free) review right here. While Horizon Forbidden West making its way onto PC isn’t that much of a surprise, the fact that it has been announced and we’re just about a year from its release is what’s kind of shocking. For reference, Horizon Zero Dawn was released back in 2017, with the PC version making its way out on August 2020.
The president of Capcom, Haruhiro Tsujimoto expressed his belief that video games prices should be higher. Speaking at Tokyo Game Show 2023, Tsujimoto discussed various topics, including the rising expenses associated with the game development. He said that video game prices should align with escalating development costs, and that they are currently undervalued.
Personally, I feel that game prices are too low. Development costs are around 100 times higher than they were in the days of the Famicom (NES), but the price of software hasn’t risen so much.
In addition to his remarks on the need for higher game prices, Tsujimoto emphasized the importance of raising wages within the industry to attract talented individuals.
There is also a need to raise wages in order to attract talented people. Given that wages are rising across the industry as a whole, I think the option of raising unit prices is a healthy form of business.
In conclusion, Tsujimoto stated that high-quality games will maintain strong sales even in the midst of a recession.
Just as the recession doesn’t stop people from going to the cinema or going to their favorite artist’s concert, high-quality games will continue to sell well. Even during the Lehman Brothers collapse, games sold well.
It should be noted that Capcom is one of the very few publishers to not raise the price of their games. Both Resident Evil 4 Remake and Street Fighter 6 cost $60 at launch, while other major publishers are slowlyraisingtheir pricesto $70. Although this is commendable, the comments from Capcom’s president indicate that they are certainly intrigued by the price hike from other publishers.

Mediatonic has released Fall Guys update 1.26 (PS5 update 1.022) today on all platforms. This update brings the Fall Force patch to the game with new obstacles and more. Check out the Fall Guys September 27 patch notes posted down below.
Fall Guys 1.26 | Fall Guys Update 1.022 Patch Notes | Fall Guys September 27 Patch Notes:
We’re going Fall Force in the latest Update, a monstrous update in more ways than one! It’s packed with tricks for Fall Guys Creative, and there are treats for everyone in the Trick or Yeet Fame Pass and more. You may also notice that we have chucked on a fresh coat of paint, sporting our brand new theming for Fall Guys moving forward!
New goodies for Fall Guys Creative will fill up the Blunderdome. We’re adding Buttons, Bean Barriers, Carriable Punching Blocks, and more, and there are new Rounds to showcase the chaos that these new items are capable of.
Our autumnal additions are also aesthetic! A new splash screen greets everyone, and new Backgrounds bring brilliant backdrops to your Rounds. Continue reading to find out more
NEW ITEMS THAT PACK A PUNCH!
Throwing you in at the deep end, we’ve got a load of obstacles for you to create with. Builder Beans get some new toys to play with in Fall Guys Creative! We’re particularly pleased about the Carriable Punching Block for obvious reasons. Drumroll please!
Buttons and Pressure Plates
Get switched on with the new Buttons and Pressure Plates. Buttons can be pressed to activate items in the level, while Pressure Plates need to be held down. Both can activate Fans, Conveyor Belts, and Bean Barriers. What’s that? We don’t have Bean Barriers?
Bean Barriers
We do now. A Bean Barrier can act as a wall or a bridge, depending on the orientation. They can be turned on and off, opening or blocking paths, and create terrifying bridges that can be flicked off.
Speed Arches
These Speed Arches will speed up anything that passes through them. Anything. They’ll blast Beans across the level, and if you throw an item into them, like a Carriable Puncher, the fist will go flying.
Carriable Punching Block
The handsome, handheld Carriable Puncher is a portable fist capable of booping opponents away and boosting Beans with an uppercut to higher platforms. It’s objectively hilarious.
Background Selector
A Background is the backdrop of the level, an environmental wallpaper that covers the vast sky in the Blunderdome with delightful designs. You now have five to choose from when making your Rounds, using the Background Selector. The designs are:
Original
Digital
Medieval
Future
Falloween
Go on, get building!
REJOICE! OLD ROUNDS AND NEW!
With the Fall Force Update, we’ll be releasing a handful of brand new Rounds for players to dig their beans into! The following Rounds are being released across the next 2 weeks:
Breezy Buddies
Remote Control
Cubic Conundrum
Chain Reaction
We’re also continuing to unvault more Rounds throughout the coming months, including the following rounds being unvaulted next week:
The Trick or Yeet Fame Pass will help pack the Blunderdome with fanciful, fearsome fancy dress.
Highlights include the gnawsome Bat-Tastic Costume for bitey Beans. The Buff Guy Costume that adds insta-muscles without the workout. Scary never looked cuter than the Bad Beast or Pawly Repaired Costumes.
Rising from the depths is the Clockwork Calamari Costume, while the Squawks Sprockets Costume sees all. Not from above, but with its cool goggles. The Jack-o-Lantern Wearable looks gourdeous, too!
With Emotes and more free Wearables, it’s a seasonal bounty of a Pass, available from 10AM GMT 3rd October to 10AM GMT 7th November.

Street Fighter 6 Update 1.05 Fighter Balance Pass Patch Notes:
All Fighters
Assisted Combos
The following tweaks have been made in order to improve Assist Combo controls.
Each Assisted Combo’s input reception timing has been adjusted due to some Assisted Combos accepting inputs too quickly, and others having very small input windows that made them difficult to perform.
Made an adjustment so that when special move cancels are allowed, Assisted Combos will also be allowed. This is due to Assisted Combo input reception being too short and thus not allowing for cancels during the active frames of an attack. Please note that due to this adjustment, if your Assisted Combo input is too late, then there are situations where you won’t be able to connect to the special move that you cancel into.
Fixed an issue where if you stopped an Assisted Combo midway through and then tried to perform another Assisted Combo of the same strength as soon as possible, the buffered input would not work.
Fixed an issue where if you stopped an Assisted Combo midway through and then tried to perform another Assisted Combo of a different strength, that Assisted Combo may not be performed properly.
Made an adjustment to prevent rapid cancel attacks from being performed when pressing the Light Attack button while the Assist button is being held. This adjustment was made as it was difficult to perform Light Assisted Combos from rapid cancel attacks.
Forward Dash/Back Dash
Fixed an issue where inputting forward three times would result in two forward dashes being performed.
Increased the buffer input window from 4 frames to 7 frames
Input recognition frames
In order to reduce unintentional Super Art activations, the input recognition frames* of certain Super Art commands have been shortened. Due to this adjustment, players must input their commands faster or the Super Art may not be performed. Adjusted Super Art Commands are as follows: 1. ↓↘→↓↘→ 2. ↓↙←↓↙← *Input recognition frames are the number of frames you must input the next command in order for the game to recognize you are performing a specific attack. ex. In the case of the ↓↘→↓↘→ command, there are 9 input recognition frames between the first Down input and the next Down-Forward input, meaning if 10 frames pass between those inputs, the first Down input will be reset and the Super Art will not be performed.
Gauge gain on Perfect Parry
When perfect parrying certain multi-hitting attacks, there were cases where the Drive Gauge consumption was more than the Drive Gauge gain, so adjustments have been made. Perfect parrying strike attacks will now give an increase of 10,000 (1 block) while perfect parrying Super Arts will give an increase of 20,000 (2 blocks). Considering the ease of parrying them, projectiles other than Super Arts will be kept in their current state. For a list of moves affected by this adjustment, please refer to each character’s section.
Attacks hitting an opponent behind the player
Fixed an issue where some attacks attacks could unintentionally hit an opponent behind the character. For a list of moves affected by this adjustment, please refer to each character’s section.
Drive Gauge gain during Burnout
Due to a value setting error, there were some attacks that when blocked during Burnout, only increased the Drive Gauge by half of what would be consumed when blocking it normally (the same as overhead or low attacks). This has been corrected with this update. For a list of moves affected by this adjustment, please refer to each character’s section.
Chip damage during Burnout
Due to a value setting error, outside of Super Art attacks, there were some attacks that when blocked during Burnout only chipped 1/4 of the original damage value. This has been corrected with this update. For a list of moves affected by this adjustment, please refer to each character’s section.
Drive Impact
Fixed an issue where stopping a Drive Impact with another Drive Impact after absorbing a hit via armor would result in the two Drive Impacts canceling each other out.
Drive Parry
Fixed an issue where performing a Drive Parry from a crouching position would result in a different Drive Gauge consumption timing compared to one done from a standing position.
Fixed an issue where performing a Drive Parry from a crouching position with certain characters and holding the parry would result in increased Drive Gauge consumption. This has been fixed to match what happens when performing a Drive Parry from a standing position. Characters Affected – Luke – Kimberly – Zangief – Dee Jay – Rashid – Guile – E. Honda
Perfect Parry
Fixed an issue where if an upward direction (up, up-left, or up-right) was input after perfect parrying a projectile, the character would perform a jump even if the upward directional input was released before the character exited their recovery state.
Jump attack landing recovery
Fixed an issue where after having your jumping attack perfect parried, the timing for when you’re next able to perform a standing attack was 1 frame later than intended. Please note that no changes were made to Perfect Parries for this issue.
RYU:
Crouching Heavy Punch
Fixed an issue where the animation would go back if the attack hit on the 2nd active frame.
Fuwa Triple Strike (Medium Punch, Light Kick, Heavy Kick)
The Drive Gauge decrease for the final hit on Punish Counter has been changed from 0 to 10,000.
The 2nd hit of this string was increasing the opponent’s Drive Gauge by 2,000 on Punish Counter, but this has been changed so it now decreases their Drive Gauge by 2,000 instead.
High Double Strike
The Drive Gauge decrease on Punish Counter has been changed from 0 to 10,000.
Shin Hashogeki (SA2)
Applies only when using Shin Hashogeki charged to Level 2 or 3 during a juggle combo There was a situation where the attack hitbox would not hit an opponent if the player was right under them, so the following adjustments have been made to alleviate the issue. – The pushbox has been expanded upwards from the time the button is released until the end of the attack’s active frames. – The attack’s hitbox has been expanded inwards.
Shared adjustment: Drive Gauge gain during Burnout
The Drive Gauge increase gained by the opponent when they block the following attacks during Burnout has been adjusted. Jumping Medium Punch 2nd hit: From 1500 to 750 Collarbone Breaker (→+Medium Punch) 2nd hit: From 1250 to 625 Known Issue When only the 2nd hit of Collarbone Breaker lands the attack is considered a mid-level/overhead hit, but in this situation the 625 Drive Gauge increase for when the move is considered a high level hit is applied. This issue is scheduled to be resolved in the next update.
Shared adjustment: Gauge gain on Perfect Parry
The Drive Gauge increase from a Perfect Parry of the following moves has been adjusted. – Jumping Medium Punch – Collarbone Breaker (→+Medium Punch) – Solar Plexus Strike (→+Heavy Punch) – Axe Kick (←+Heavy Kick) – Overdrive Shoryuken (→↓↘+2 Punches) – Medium/Heavy/Overdrive Tatsumaki Senpu-kyaku (↓↙←+Kick) – Shinku Hadoken – Shin Shoryuken
Shared adjustment: Attacks hitting with an opponent behind you
Fixed an issue where the following attacks would hit an opponent behind Ryu. – Standing Light Kick – 2nd hit of Fuwa Triple Strike – Final hit of Shin Shoryuken
LUKE:
Overdrive No Chaser (↓↘→+2 Kicks, Punch)
The amount of Super Art gauge gained on block was not half of the amount gained on hit, so it has been adjusted from 500 to 600.

Medium/Heavy/Overdrive Vagabond Edge (↓↘→+Punch)
The amount of Drive Gauge lost when an opponent blocked the 2nd hit of this attack had an older value, so it has been adjusted from 2000 to 4000.
【Bushin Beats (SA1) / Bushin Thunderous Beats (SA1) / Bushin Scramble (SA2) / Soaring Bushin Scramble (SA2) / Bushin Ninjastar Cypher (SA3/CA)

This attack would come out unexpectedly when attempting to do a jumping attack, so the input recognition frames* have been changed from 20 to 12.

*Input recognition frame is the the number of frames you must input the next command in order for the game to recognize you are performing a specific attack. ex.

Speedy Maracas (↓↓+2 Punches)
In Street Fighter 6, when going from a Punish Counter state and transitioning to a move that can absorb attacks, the player is essentially in a Punish Counter state from the beginning. This is to prevent players from making mistakes during their combo selection, etc. when aiming for an opponent’s recovery period. By transitioning from Air Slasher to Speedy Maracas, Air Slasher’s Punish Counter state was being overwritten by a Counter state, so we have fixed this issue so the transition to Speedy Marcas will be in a Punish Counter state.
Fixed an issue so when Air Slasher hits on Counter/Punish Counter, is parried, or runs into Super Armor, you cannot transition into Speedy Maracas.

Street Fighter 6 Update 1.05 Fighter Balance Pass Patch Notes:
All Fighters
Assisted Combos
The following tweaks have been made in order to improve Assist Combo controls.
Each Assisted Combo’s input reception timing has been adjusted due to some Assisted Combos accepting inputs too quickly, and others having very small input windows that made them difficult to perform.
Made an adjustment so that when special move cancels are allowed, Assisted Combos will also be allowed. This is due to Assisted Combo input reception being too short and thus not allowing for cancels during the active frames of an attack. Please note that due to this adjustment, if your Assisted Combo input is too late, then there are situations where you won’t be able to connect to the special move that you cancel into.
Fixed an issue where if you stopped an Assisted Combo midway through and then tried to perform another Assisted Combo of the same strength as soon as possible, the buffered input would not work.
Fixed an issue where if you stopped an Assisted Combo midway through and then tried to perform another Assisted Combo of a different strength, that Assisted Combo may not be performed properly.
Made an adjustment to prevent rapid cancel attacks from being performed when pressing the Light Attack button while the Assist button is being held. This adjustment was made as it was difficult to perform Light Assisted Combos from rapid cancel attacks.
Forward Dash/Back Dash
Fixed an issue where inputting forward three times would result in two forward dashes being performed.
Increased the buffer input window from 4 frames to 7 frames
Input recognition frames
In order to reduce unintentional Super Art activations, the input recognition frames* of certain Super Art commands have been shortened. Due to this adjustment, players must input their commands faster or the Super Art may not be performed. Adjusted Super Art Commands are as follows: 1. ↓↘→↓↘→ 2. ↓↙←↓↙← *Input recognition frames are the number of frames you must input the next command in order for the game to recognize you are performing a specific attack. ex. In the case of the ↓↘→↓↘→ command, there are 9 input recognition frames between the first Down input and the next Down-Forward input, meaning if 10 frames pass between those inputs, the first Down input will be reset and the Super Art will not be performed.
Gauge gain on Perfect Parry
When perfect parrying certain multi-hitting attacks, there were cases where the Drive Gauge consumption was more than the Drive Gauge gain, so adjustments have been made. Perfect parrying strike attacks will now give an increase of 10,000 (1 block) while perfect parrying Super Arts will give an increase of 20,000 (2 blocks). Considering the ease of parrying them, projectiles other than Super Arts will be kept in their current state. For a list of moves affected by this adjustment, please refer to each character’s section.
Attacks hitting an opponent behind the player
Fixed an issue where some attacks attacks could unintentionally hit an opponent behind the character. For a list of moves affected by this adjustment, please refer to each character’s section.
Drive Gauge gain during Burnout
Due to a value setting error, there were some attacks that when blocked during Burnout, only increased the Drive Gauge by half of what would be consumed when blocking it normally (the same as overhead or low attacks). This has been corrected with this update. For a list of moves affected by this adjustment, please refer to each character’s section.
Chip damage during Burnout
Due to a value setting error, outside of Super Art attacks, there were some attacks that when blocked during Burnout only chipped 1/4 of the original damage value. This has been corrected with this update. For a list of moves affected by this adjustment, please refer to each character’s section.
Drive Impact
Fixed an issue where stopping a Drive Impact with another Drive Impact after absorbing a hit via armor would result in the two Drive Impacts canceling each other out.
Drive Parry
Fixed an issue where performing a Drive Parry from a crouching position would result in a different Drive Gauge consumption timing compared to one done from a standing position.
Fixed an issue where performing a Drive Parry from a crouching position with certain characters and holding the parry would result in increased Drive Gauge consumption. This has been fixed to match what happens when performing a Drive Parry from a standing position. Characters Affected – Luke – Kimberly – Zangief – Dee Jay – Rashid – Guile – E. Honda
Perfect Parry
Fixed an issue where if an upward direction (up, up-left, or up-right) was input after perfect parrying a projectile, the character would perform a jump even if the upward directional input was released before the character exited their recovery state.
Jump attack landing recovery
Fixed an issue where after having your jumping attack perfect parried, the timing for when you’re next able to perform a standing attack was 1 frame later than intended. Please note that no changes were made to Perfect Parries for this issue.
RYU:
Crouching Heavy Punch
Fixed an issue where the animation would go back if the attack hit on the 2nd active frame.
Fuwa Triple Strike (Medium Punch, Light Kick, Heavy Kick)
The Drive Gauge decrease for the final hit on Punish Counter has been changed from 0 to 10,000.
The 2nd hit of this string was increasing the opponent’s Drive Gauge by 2,000 on Punish Counter, but this has been changed so it now decreases their Drive Gauge by 2,000 instead.
High Double Strike
The Drive Gauge decrease on Punish Counter has been changed from 0 to 10,000.
Shin Hashogeki (SA2)
Applies only when using Shin Hashogeki charged to Level 2 or 3 during a juggle combo There was a situation where the attack hitbox would not hit an opponent if the player was right under them, so the following adjustments have been made to alleviate the issue. – The pushbox has been expanded upwards from the time the button is released until the end of the attack’s active frames. – The attack’s hitbox has been expanded inwards.
Shared adjustment: Drive Gauge gain during Burnout
The Drive Gauge increase gained by the opponent when they block the following attacks during Burnout has been adjusted.

CHUN-LI:
Jumping Heavy Punch
Jumping Heavy Punch’s damage was 800 on grounded opponents and 500 on airborne opponents, but the damage on counter/Punish Counter on airborne opponents was set to the grounded damage of 960, so it has been adjusted to 600.
Lotus Punch (↓↙←+Punch, Heavy Punch)
The hurtbox on the head unintentionally shrank between frames 3 – 28, so it has been expanded
The 2nd hit was considered a high attack if the first attack whiffed, but it has been fixed to now be a mid-level/overhead attack. The 2nd hit is still a high attack if the 1st attack hits.

The amount of Drive Gauge lost when an opponent blocked this attack was unintentionally set at a low value, so it has been corrected from 3000 to 6000.
Borscht Dynamite (360+Kick while jumping)
This attack would come out unexpectedly when attempting to do a jumping attack, so the input recognition frames* have been changed from 20 to 12.
Fixed an issue where the amount of Super Art gauge gain on Punish Counter was 150 less than on normal hit.
*Input recognition frame is the the number of frames you must input the next command in order for the game to recognize you are performing a specific attack. ex.

Fixed an issue where JP’s Drive Gauge increase gain would only be half when the first attack is blocked by the opponent while they are in Burnout.

DEE JAY:
Assisted Combo 1
Fixed an issue where the Quick Rolling Sobat would not be performed by pressing forward and the Special Move button from the first hit.
Assisted Combo 3
Fixed an issue where Maximum Strike would have additional scaling added to it if the 3rd attack’s input was late.
Overdrive Air Slasher (Charge ←, →+2 Punches)
Implemented a fix so only Overdrive Air Slasher is performed when holding back and using the Special Move button in Modern Controls. Previously, if a charge was ready, Overdrive Jus Cool or Overdrive Double Rolling Sobat could not be performed.
Speedy Maracas (↓↓+2 Punches)
In Street Fighter 6, when going from a Punish Counter state and transitioning to a move that can absorb attacks, the player is essentially in a Punish Counter state from the beginning. This is to prevent players from making mistakes during their combo selection, etc. when aiming for an opponent’s recovery period. By transitioning from Air Slasher to Speedy Maracas, Air Slasher’s Punish Counter state was being overwritten by a Counter state, so we have fixed this issue so the transition to Speedy Marcas will be in a Punish Counter state.
Fixed an issue so when Air Slasher hits on Counter/Punish Counter, is parried, or runs into Super Armor, you cannot transition into Speedy Maracas.
Marvelous Sunrise Festival (SA2) / Headliner Sunrise Festival (SA2)
Fixed an issue where the first frame of the normal attack could not be kara-canceled*. *Kara Cancel: Canceling the start up of a move into another move.
Drive Reversal
Updated the hurtbox to match the appearance of the attack from the end of its active frames to the end of the attack. Originally, the hurtbox was too small compared to the reach of the attack, making it extremely difficult to counter attack compared to other characters.
Shared adjustment: Drive Gauge gain during Burnout
The Drive Gauge increase gained by the opponent when they block the following attacks during Burnout has been adjusted. Normal/Overdrive Funky Slicer (↓↙←+Kick, Light Kick) From 2000 to 4000 Normal/Overdrive Waning Moon (↓↙←+Kick, Medium Kick) From 2000 to 4000

LILY:
Jumping

Thunderbird (SA2) / Soaring Thunderbird (SA2)
Adjusted the Drive Gauge gain when parrying the Windclad version of Thunderbird and Soaring Thunderbird, as it was less than when parrying the normal version of those moves.

Console: Version 1.81.2
What’s New?
Today’s update has a variety of improvements across different features in the game.
The Recipe UI has received a well deserved update, bringing filtering to your fingertips. Now you can filter recipes by: “All, vegetarian, lactose free, meat, seafood, and sweets!”
Let them eat (cup)cakes!
Speaking of sweets… this update includes freeing the sweetest treat, cupcakes! Your Sims can now prepare delicious cupcakes by using an oven, in addition to the traditional method of using the Whipped Dream Cupcake Factory. Plus, Toddlers can now experience the joy of eating a delicious cupcake.
We’ve delved deep into cooking, recipes, and ingredients. Expect to see the quality of food that’s prepared better reflect your Sim’s skill level, current mood, and appliance quality. Additionally, recipes across the Cooking, Gourmet Cooking, and Baking skills have been updated to better utilize more of the expected ingredients of the food that’s being prepared. One example of these updates: Players who own both Cottage Living and Get To Work can use the sugar, flour, and egg ingredients from the former with the baking recipes from the latter.
The updates don’t stop there. We gave the Cool Kitchen Stuff Pack some love too! I scream, you scream, now Child Sims can scream for Ice Cream! Child Sims can now use the Sweet Tooth Ice Cream Machine.
One last update we’d like to tell you about relates to the Small Appliances in game. We’ve added the ability for many different small appliances to be dragged around within the game world while in Live Mode, as well as being able to place small appliances into your Sim’s inventory to take them with you on your travels. Find the full list of compatible appliances below:

Gelatin Rainbow Cake isn’t Vegetarian?! We’ve updated a lot of recipes that weren’t properly flagged as Vegetarian-Safe – and some that shouldn’t have been flagged in the first place.
