The scene showcased above has to be one of the most terrifying cut scenes in survival horror history. And while Resi aficionados often recall that head-turning Spencer Mansion zombie as the series’ most iconic fright, nothing comes close to our first encounter with the second game’s Licker species for me. The Resident Evil 2 remake’s reworked version of the familiar slack-tongued beast is, as you might expect, a sight to behold. This from Kyle Campbell on how the Resident Evil 2 remake is a gros

An excited Intel held a livestream earlier this morning to formally introduce its initial 9th generation Core processors consisting of three SKUs: Core i9-9900K, Core i7-9700K, and Core i5-9600K. Intel cranked the hype dial to 11, stating that it’s “breaking the laws of physics to bring you these parts” and trumpeting the Core i9-9900K as “the best gaming processor in the world, period.” The Core i9-9900K and Core i7-9700K are Intel’s first mainstream 8-core processors. As previously rumored, th

Monster Hunter: World is getting delightfully spoopy with its Autumn Harvest in-game event, bringing catty little jack o’ lanterns and witchy, warlocky new hunting garb. Those that log in during the festival will get extra rewards—most notably doubled lucky vouchers for quest rewards, a character change voucher, and Autumn Harvest tickets for seasonal armor. All the seasonal armor for this event is layered armor, meaning you can use it as an appearance over your regular sets for the perfect blen

After a few days of tweeting cryptic gifs, the Heroes of the Storm Twitter account has put out an image of a full-on Warcraft Nathrezim Dreadlord. It’s about time for the game to get a new character, so we’re expecting that this big demon is it, and it seems like the demon may well be Mal’Ganis. An exciting prospect if you’ve played Warcraft 3, since Mal’Ganis is so pivotal to that game’s plot. Well, he’s the green one in Warcraft 3, and the dreadlord Blizzard has posted is in green armor. Final

In good news for anyone who loved Troika’s classic RPG Vampire: The Masquerade—Bloodlines and especially that one dude keeps trying to shoehorn it into the PC Gamer Top 100 every year (hi! ), Nighthawks has hit its Kickstarter goal. Nighthawks is being developed by Wadjet Eye Games, most recently behind adventure game Unavowed, and has Dave Gilbert as its executive producer and overseer, and PC Gamer contributor Richard Cobbett as its writer.

Assassin’s Creed Odyssey won a lot of praise from Steven this week, and it’s undoubtedly the highlight of a series that’s had a pretty up-and-down history. It would also benefit the Assassin’s Creed series generally. I’d love to see something like Assassin’s Creed Sumeria, Africa, or Mesoamerica. Will Assassin’s Creed ever be ready for proper gunplay, though? It has the blend of real-life big characters and social change that would make a good backdrop to Assassin’s Creed, picking up a little la

Capcom has confirmed plans to make a live-action Mega Man movie. The film—tentatively entitled Mega Man—will be written and directed by Henry Joost and Ariel Schulman, and is scheduled to be produced by Chernin Entertainment and Masi Oka, who some of you may remember portrayed Hiro in “save the cheerleader, save the world” superpower series, Heroes. “Based on the influential and globally beloved Mega Man franchise, Capcom aims to appeal to a diverse audience, including not only game players but

Nightdive Studios has shared footage of System Shock’s alpha test, showing off new textures and environments from the rebooted classic. “Welcome to the System Shock: Adventure Alpha! “These are the original textures and not final art,” the video description adds . After a little confusion in the comments, Nightdive added: “These are the original levels using the original textures from the game. “Nightdive Studios’ 2016 campaign to crowdfund a remake of System Shock was a huge success, smashing

And it looks pretty good in this form, letting you create a student and explore Hogwarts, while also battling wizards. But light intrigue is a nice feeling: some devs whose work I like are tinkering with a genre I like. Evan Lahti: Smooth sailingI’m always looking for games that are going to push the 144hz ceiling of my Acer XB270HU . Why would you offer a boost that means people effectively don’t have to play your game as much? That said, the good news is all of this stuff is tucked away and do

Epic has announced a new Fortnite limited time event that’s quite a bit different from its previous limited time efforts. From that, players can enter the Epic tag of whichever Creator they want to support.

Fortnite Creators who want to sign up for the program can do s
