I’m not sure I like the Nemesis in Resident Evil 3 Remake . At one point I got stuck in an upstairs safe room, with a narrow stairway past Nemesis the only way out. Street lifeEverything else plays exactly as you’d hope, lifting Resident Evil 2’s excellent horror gunplay and placing it on the streets of Raccoon City. (Image credit: Capcom)On the whole, at least, the urban action of Resident Evil 3 feels good, with a grander, more immediate scale to complement Resi 2’s slow burn. Multiplayer flay

The debut video had 2.5 million views, and yet, did you know PlayStation was on TikTok? Galaxy brain thinking time: What if this is Sony’s w

Xbox Head Phil Spencer, in conversation with Insomniac Games President Ted Price, has revealed more about the future of Microsoft’s games portfolio, and more generally about his hopes for the industry at large. “One thing that’s bummed me out about console, is I usually have one TV in my house my console is plugged into. “I think I’m going to have a game console plugged into my television for the next decade plus. The best way for me to play on my TV is to have the local device, download, and pl

A new era of Star Wars stories is upon us. Previously known only as Project Luminous, The High Republic is a series of interconnected books and comics set 200 years before the events of the Skywalker Saga, and features everything from exciting new villains to Wookiee Jedi. There’s also a Marvel comic series, a High Republic Adventures comic book, plus a pair of YA novels to look forward to. It’s important to note, however, that The High Republic is sticking to the page – at least for now. Find o

Overwatch devs are looking to shake things up with the first Experimental card, and the biggest way to do that is to dramatically change the role queue. That’s right, heroes and omnics, we’re getting triple damage. Starting tomorrow, the Experimental card will swap out the two tank, two healer, two damage role queue in favor of one tank, two healers, and three damage slots. It’s called triple damage, and I can only imagine how the Genji mains are feeling right now. Keep in mind, experimental fea

Metro developer 4A Games briefly discussed its ambitions for next-gen graphics in a recent interview with Digital Foundry , and after the visual splendor of Metro Exodus , any graphics tease from 4A Games is mighty tantalizing. “We are fully into ray tracing, dropping old-school codepath/techniques completely,” says chief technical officer Oles Shishkovstov.

According to Spencer, Microsoft’s next-gen console will deliver 12 teraflops of graphics processing power, or “twice that of an Xbox One X and more than eight times the original Xbox One.” This lines up with rumors from December 2019 which suggested the Xbox Series X specs would more than double Xbox One X in many areas.

Harrison Ford has finally updated us on the sequel we’ve all been yearning for: Indiana Jones 5. The actor has hinted that Indy’s return won’t exactly be predictable – and compared the archaeologist’s comeback to the MCU. Ford isn’t returning just to deliver a formulaic entry in the long-running franchise, which has laid dormant since 2008’s Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. “We’re not going to make another Indiana Jones unless we are in a position to kill it,” Ford said.
