Why One-Punch Man: Season 2’s Animation Is So Different
A new One-Punch Man Season 2 trailer has arrived, garnering nearly 1.5 million views on IGN in less than 24 hours - but after watching it, some fans feel like they’ve taken a punch to the gut, with the animation being far from a knock-out.
Many fan reactions on social media seem to criticize the trailer’s animation style, with viewers noticing the prevalence of 3DCG, lack of action, odd pacing, and overall less-than-stellar quality. Dozens of comments were posted on IGN's One-Punch Man trailer, including one from user omgseriouslydude which called the animation "plain" with "a lot of still frames and flash animation-like movements," compared to the Season 1 approach.

There ‘Never Was’ a Console for Google Stadia
Ahead of Google's official announcement of Google Stadia, rumors arose in the last months about what exactly the tech giant planned to do in the gaming space. But, as Google's Phil Harrison told me, those plans never included a proper physical console.
I spoke with Harrison at GDC 2019 following Google Stadia's official reveal keynote. He noted that particular interest in Google's game initiative came after last year's Project Stream collaboration with Assassin's Creed Odyssey. But despite whatever rumors may have popped up, Google did not intend to make a proper console like a PlayStation 4 or Xbox One.
"The world abhors a vacuum and when we weren't telling the full story coming out of Project Steam, inevitability there was going to be speculation," he said. "There was never a console, there was never going to be a console, there never will be a console."

How AC: Odyssey Indicates Google Stadia’s 3rd Party Plans
Google Stadia's announcement keynote at GDC included a few recognizable developers — Id Software with Doom Eternal and RIme developer Tequilia Works among them. But it's Google's partnership for Project Steam with Ubisoft and Assassin's Creed Odyssey that is the real indicator of what games Google plans to bring to its new streaming game platform.
Speaking with IGN at GDC 2019, Vice President and GM at Google Phil Harrison explained that viewers shouldn't "read too much into who we had on our stage."
"Don't read too much into who we had on our stage yesterday and who we didn't have on our stage," Harrison said. "
