Check out Resident Evil 4 Remake’s short but sweet anime trailer

March 20, 2023VG247

It’s an awfully cute take on Resident Evil 4. It’s safe to say that Capcom’s marketing for Resident Evil 4 Remake is well under way. After a horde of stellar reviews were shared last week, declaring the remake a complete success (our own 5/5 review included), Capcom has more under its sleeve to get players excited. Capcom, of course, knows full well the chokehold that Resident Evil 4 has over its fans, both old and new. As such, a short, but sweet anime trailer for the game has been released showing off fan-favourite characters in a more charming, whimsical scenario…

Survival horror, VORAX, looks to give The Forest fans a thorough single-player experience

March 17, 2023VG247

Set on yet another island, of course. Just last week, developer IndieGala announced its latest game, VORAX.

Catch the full VORAX trailer here. As a mercenary who’s wound up on a Mediterranean island, you find that a mysterious pathogen is infecting its inhabitants.

Resident Evil 4 remake review: an exceptional return to one of the greatest action games of all time

March 17, 2023RockPaperShotgun

In the run-up to its original 2005 release, Capcom was refreshingly – and publicly – clear about their intentions for Resident Evil 4. Feeling that the classic top-down formula that had seen the series thrive during the 90s had grown stale, this follow-up was to be a total reinvention of survival horror as a concept. Something fresh. Dynamic. Exciting. The slate was wiped completely clean, and from that blank canvas, something exceptional was created. A game that not only redefined the franchise, but third-person action games as a whole. For eighteen tumultuous years, Capcom has tried to surpass the success…

“Much more” to be shared about The Last of Us multiplayer spin-off this year

March 15, 2023VG247

Not soon enough, if you ask me. The Last of Us’ upcoming multiplayer spin-off is a game we’ll “hear much more about” this year, according to TLOU director, Neil Druckmann. Which game should NEVER be a TV show? Talking about the game in a ‘spoilercast’ for HBO’s TV adaptation of The Last of Us Part 1 (thanks, GamesRadar), Druckmann explains more details on the multiplayer title are coming soon. This spin-off is also Naughty Dog’s “next big title.” “It’s an interesting experience for me because it’s the first The Last of Us game where I’m not a primary writer, I’m…

Myst FPS is a hilarious dig at the classic adventure game, and it’s free on Itch.io

March 14, 2023RockPaperShotgun

Over the last 30 years, the classic adventure game Myst has been rereleased in countless forms, resurrected in 25th-anniversary boxsets, VR takes on the game, and even a full remake in 2021. But the power of the internet determines that nothing is sacred, and even the point-and-click Myst can be turned into the point-and-kill Myst FPS. Yes, developers Steven Nass and Peter Henningsen have released Myst FPS on itch.io, a free browser-based shooter that’s a good laugh, and an even better shitpost. Read more

Look at the trailer for Stalker 2: Heart of Chornobyl here. As a result of this breach, the developer took to Twitter to explain the situation and warn keen fans of leaks that may emerge. “Recently, our employee’s account for a collective work-with-images application was hacked.

Destiny 2 servers go offline as players get booted from instances a day before raid release

March 9, 2023VG247

All appears to be fine now, but will things improve with The Root of Nightmares? Destiny 2: Lightfall servers suddenly went down last night, as players were experiencing huge login queues, connectivity issues, and abrupt booting into orbit. This comes only a day before The Root of Nightmares raid. Announced via the official BungieHelp Twitter account, the game was brought down temporarily to “assist in investigations into error codes, inability to log in, and login queues.” The servers are back online now, but with an additional maintenance period due today, fingers are crossed the upcoming raid release goes smoothly. Watch…

Starfield launch date trailer reveals September 6 release

March 8, 2023VG247

A bit later than expected. Starfield will release on September 6 2023, according to a brand new launch date trailer. In this trailer, not only do we get a cool cinematic teasing some of the space-bound mystery, we also get a quick update from Todd Howard himself, who reveals that a dedicated Starfield Direct will occur on June 11.

Additional surpises come from the appearance of one Tim Lamb, who was present in the…

Source 2 memes run wild following reports of CSGO 2 coming soon

March 8, 2023VG247

Why spend time in a grenade practice map when you can do sick BMX grinds in Dust 2? Following reports of CSGO 2 being both real and playable in the near future, people online have been using their imagination (and sense of humour) to imagine what the future of map, Dust 2, may look like. This has all been popping up on Twitter, which as we all know is the hub for all of the best games industry gags. It’s clear that while competitive FPS fans are desperate for an official reveal, the memes are going to kep on flowing….

Destiny 2 Lightfall, one week later – the good, the bad, and the very, very ugly

March 7, 2023VG247

Bungie has once again kicked it out of the park with some elements of Destiny… but completely dropped the ball with others. It’s becoming a pattern. Destiny 2 Lightfall currently sits at ‘mostly negative’ on Steam. Twitter and Reddit are awash with posts complaining about, highlighting issues with, and outright mocking the latest expansion. Even MyNameIsByf, a longstanding Destiny loyalist with a razor sharp eye for criticism and commentary, has expressed his profound disappointment with Lightfall and the future it sets up for Bungie. Byf makes some very, very good points in this video. But, all that aside, Lightfall isn’t…

Warframe gets a roguelike-inspired experience with the upcoming Duviri Paradox expansion

March 5, 2023VG247

The expansion is due out this coming April. Warframe is getting its next expansion in April, titled The Duviri Paradox, promising to be “a roguelike-inspired and emotionally-driven Open World experience.” Earlier this week, developer Digital Extremes showed off a short cinematic trailer giving us a first glimpse of the upcoming Duviri Paradox expansion. In this next adventure, the Drifter ends up “stuck in a massive colour-changing and reality-fractured world,” the titular Duviri. In terms of story, players should, “prepare to experience an emotionally-charged and wondrous world where visual and gameplay experiences shift and transpose as the mood of the Child…

Gears Of War isn’t just a game, it’s tradition

March 3, 2023RockPaperShotgun

I’m going to Japan in a couple of weeks, and I am beyond excited. It’s been 15 years since I last visited family in Yokohama, and my last memory is one where I’m miserable and I’m staring out of a cab window going back to the airport. I didn’t want to leave. It sounds corny as heck, but I can’t wait to sucker punch that memory with a swing that’s been building for 5478 days, then jab it full of happy ones. Really, I imagine what will happen is I’ll get weirdly emotional as the plane touches down and my…
