Fly away. If you’ve got a PlayStation 4, there’s probably a good chance you’re familiar with its absurd fan noise. While not everyone’s console sounds like a rocket – and there are steps you can take to reduce the sound – the reality is that the Japanese giant’s console is pretty, well, loud. In fact, […]
Resident Evil and Metal Gear Solid also represented. Classic comic books look incredible even by modern standards, particularly the likes of Tales from Crypt. These inspired designs by Rockstar North illustrator Mark Scicluna have really captured our imagination, then. We love The Last of Us cover most, but his adaptations of Resident Evil, Metal Gear […]
Inter-smellar. Secret World Legends developer Funcom dives into the ready-made well of creativity of H.P Lovecraft in Moons of Madness, a single-player cosmic horror title using modern generic tropes. Unsurprisingly, it takes similar thematic and aesthetic cues to last year’s Conarium, though in its mission to become the cosmos’ answer to Outlast, it never settles […]
An Epic move. The next games from the creators of The Last Guardian and Control will launch on the PlayStation 5, but they will not be published by Sony, as many had expected. The awkwardly named genDESIGN is helmed by legendary creator Fumito Ueda, who previously operated as part of Japan Studio before going independent […]
Now this is podracing. We all know Star Wars Episode I was a bit of a Phantom Menace, but its Nintendo 64 tie-in title Star Wars Episode I: Racer was a lot of fun. It also holds the Guinness World Record for best-selling sci-fi racer of all-time, beating out the cult classic franchises like WipEout […]
Jokes on you. Would PlatinumGames have wanted to do it any other way? We think not. The prestigious Japanese developer will be rounding out its collection of four announcements with a final reveal on April Fools Day. It will follow on from The Wonderful 101 Remastered, Project G.G., and the studio’s new team in Tokyo, […]
Liam wants the stats. I, surely amongst others, really enjoy tracking how much time I’ve sunk into a video game. From the grand looter shooters of Destiny 2 and The Division 2 through to huge RPGs such as The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt and Dragon Quest XI: Echoes of an Elusive Age, I always like […]
Going for gold? We reviewed SEGA’s brilliant Olympic Games Tokyo 2020 title last year, after importing the Japanese version. However, with today’s postponement of the event until 2021, the publisher now has big decisions to make. The release was scheduled to launch on the PlayStation 4 in Western territories this summer, ahead of the global […]
“My mind was racing”. Fans may be bickering about teraflops as PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X comparisons continue to dominate social media, but developers are clear: Sony’s next-gen system will fundamentally change the future of game design. Writing on ResetEra, Breakfall Games developer JasoNsider has echoed the sentiment of others in the industry, explaining […]
It’s been 64 years. It’s easy to forget that DOOM 64 is not simply a port of the original DOOM to Nintendo 64, but a fully-fledged sequel that was developed Midway Games. It’s even easier to forget that this was actually a pretty impressive step forward. While aiming is still archaic – lateral aiming only […]
