Is PS VR2 the last time we’ll get a Mario 64 moment?

February 17, 2023VG247

Gaming tech hasn’t seen a revolution for a long time, but Sony’s latest hardware could be one. Tom’s a bit smitten with PS VR2, but I, a Virtual Reality Sceptic, have my doubts. So Tom donned the headset in an attempt to convince me that yes, Sony’s newest VR platform is the real deal, and well worth the buy-in. In fact, he says, it’s the most exciting leap forward in gaming since Mario 64. But I have to wonder if this costly peripheral is more akin to the Mega Drive’s 32X — an impressive add-on, but fiddly to use, and…

Resident Evil Village will be free-to-play on Sony’s PSVR2

December 15, 2022VG247

Provided that you already own a copy of the game. Resident Evil Village, the latest instalment in the prolific survival horror series from Capcom, will be available to play on Sony’s PSVR2 at launch. The headset, which is set to be more expensive than the PlayStation 5 console itself, will arrive on February 22, 2023. Resident Evil 4 Remake lets you move and shoot, but remains staunchly authentic. For those of you who already own a copy of Resident Evil Village, you’ll be able to jump into Castle Dimitrescu in PSVR2 for free on release, with the VR Mode essentially…

Capcom are holding a Resident Evil showcase this week

October 18, 2022RockPaperShotgun

It’s officially the spooky season now, so that makes it a highly appropriate juncture for some survival horror. Good job that Capcom have announced they’re streaming a Resident Evil showcase this Thursday, October 20th, then. They’ve even roped in Resident Evil Village’s Merchant to narrate the trailer for it.

Lady Dimitrescu’s castle gets a jammy new makeover in Resident Evil Village’s Shadows Of Rose DLC

September 17, 2022RockPaperShotgun

Castle Dimitrescu was one of the many highlights of Resident Evil Village, so it makes sense that Capcom are returning to it in the game’s upcoming DLC adventure, Shadows Of Rose. Set 16 years after the events of Village, this story expansion centres on Rose, the daughter of Village protagonist Ethan Winters, as she comes to terms with her emerging mold powers. She was just a teeny, tiny baby when her dad was fighting off the very tall vampire lady in the base game, but now she’s all grown up and wants to be rid of the supernatural spore abilities…

Resident Evil Village: The Mercenaries trailer shows off a playable Lady Dimitrescu

July 22, 2022VG247

Play as the vampire lady herself. Capcom has released a new trailer for Resident Evil Village Gold Edition and the Winters’ Expansion DLC. The latest video also shows The Mercenaries Additional Orders. It introduces new playable characters, more stages, and additional improvements. The Winters’ Expansion is set a few years after the events of Resident Evil 7 and resumes the Winters family saga. It finds Ethan hunted by new foes in an isolated village. In Mercenaries, a new ensemble of heroes and villains join protagonist Ethan Winters as playable characters in The Mercenaries Additional Orders. This Winters’ Expansion content update…

Everyone needs to be normal about this three-foot tall Lady Dimitrescu statue

July 10, 2022VG247

If you’ve got £1200 to spare, this might be the statue for you. If you’ve got about £1200 just laying around, and you love Resident Evil Village, then this 1/4 scale figure of Lady Dimitrescu is the one for you. There are a variety of ways to display wealth. Book cases, ones that are filled with books, are a pretty good signifier of having a solid amount of money. Or maybe you own an expensive car. But now, figure manufacturer PureArts is offering you the chance to buy a three foot tall statue of Lady Dimitrescu so you can say…

Our eight favourite games from not E3 2022

June 17, 2022RockPaperShotgun

Not E3 2022 is over. It’s done. I think? I mean there’s a Nacon showcase in July but, I mean come on now, we can’t start classing events that occur outside of June as being part of the event formerly known as E3 can we? That would be preposterous. Before long it would spool out across the entire year, absorbing every month until E3 is a constant series of video events that could happen at any point. Do you want to live in a world where Geoff Keighley is allowed to drop a World Premiere at 4PM on Christmas Day?…

Cyberpunk 2077 manages to be a top seller on Steam in 2021

December 28, 2021VG247

A terrible beginning didn’t stop the RPG from CD Projekt Red from ultimately being successful. Kotaku reported some interesting tidbits from Valve’s recent stat dump for Steam, most notably that Cyberpunk 2077 quietly became a top seller in 2021. This might come as a surprise to many, as CD Projekt Red’s game has been controversial for being buggy and unfinished. That might be turning around, though. While the very top of the charts are populated by games like New World, Valheim, and Naraka: Bladepoint that generate revenue continuously even after someone starts the game, Cyberpunk managed to make the Silver…

Best of 2021: The Forgotten City, and James’ other GOTY picks

December 23, 2021VG247

The *correct* Game of the Year choices, thank you very much I don’t know about you, but people keep saying to me there weren’t any great games this year. I’ll admit, there weren’t any generation-defining classics from the likes of Popstar, BadDog, or CD Projekt Red Dead Redemption 6. But genuinely, how could there be when Covid measures have contributed to more delays than even the merest hint of snow does to all UK public services? On top of that, it’s very easy to forget that access to the best places to play these games sucks harder than Kirby on…

Resident Evil Village, Metroid Dread are the most finished games of 2021

December 20, 2021VG247

At least, according to the data from HowLongToBeat. Resident Evil Village may just be the most completed game of the year if game time tracking website HowLongToBeat is accurate. As reported by Axios (via Kotaku), the site listed off the most completed games of the year, with Village leading the list, followed closely by Metroid Dread. Rounding out the top 5 are Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart, It Takes Two, and Super Mario 3D World + Bowser’s Fury. Also interesting is the most “retired” (read: abandoned) games, with Valheim topping the list, with 12 Minutes, Loop Hero, The Ascent, and…
