This year, Pixar will release both Hoppers, a delightfully original tale about a girl implanting her consciousness into a beaver, and Toy Story 5, another installment in the iconic, beloved animated franchise that kickstarted the studio’s legendary run of films.When we met with Hoppers director Daniel Chong – who worked for Pixar from 2009 to 2014, then returned in 2019 – in London to talk about his new film, we asked for his thoughts on how Pixar is balancing the past and the future.”I think Pixar is still doing a great job of being able to do sequels, which I…

Life is about the simple things. Sunshine. The smell of freshly cut grass. Fluffy animals. It’s a trend we’ve seen take over videogames, too: Powerwash Sim, American Truck Sim, hell, there’s even A Game About Digging a Hole, and yes, that is its name. While Expedition 33’s spectacular world and hard-as-nails combat has its allure, as do the vast plains of Rockstar’s Red Dead Redemption 2, sometimes you just want to sit down and chill out. One of this week’s Epic Games Store free offerings, Boxes: Lost Fragments is perfect for doing just that, and while boxes and videogames already…

Resident Evil: Requiem is available now, and it’s a modern Resident Evil game that splits the series’ two distinct styles straight down the middle.On the one side, we have Grace’s trip through the Rhodes Hill Chronic Care Center, which is clearly inspired by Resident Evil 2’s RPD. On the other hand, we have roundhouse-kicking Leon Kennedy, who returns to Raccoon City for the first time since the incident and cracks skulls in true Resident Evil 4 fashion. For more opinions on the game, make sure to read our full Resident Evil: Requiem review.In this hub, we’re breaking down the game…

Naoki Hamaguchi, director of the Final Fantasy 7 remake trilogy, says he’s surprised by how fans reacted to the news that the trilogy finale would be developed using Unreal Engine 4, rather than the more recent Unreal Engine 5.In an interview with Automaton, Hamaguchi explains he was unaware that people were so invested in the team’s choice of engine for the Final Fantasy 7 Finale. “After I mentioned in another interview that we would continue using Unreal Engine 4 for the third game, it became quite the topic online, and it made me realize anew how much interest people have…

Been a while since I’ve done one of these. Been even longer since I didn’t have a complaint about wonky performance or some manner of debilitating stutter issue to open it with. Nope, Resident Evil Requiem is, on the technical side, a big and shiny blockbuster like they should be made: a good looker and a smooth runner both, almost regardless of graphics card heft. It is, as Capcom promised, the anti-Monster Hunter Wilds. Not a bad shooty-horror game, either.

Resident Evil Requiem is finally upon us. The much-anticipated return of Leon S. Kennedy, accompanied by series newcomer Grace Ashcroft, has been met with near-unequivocal praise. Capcom has pulled from the decades-long history of the survival horror games to craft something that lands neatly between the intense atmosphere of Biohazard and the full-tilt action of RE4 Remake. But as you prepare to dig up every hidden clue, keep your eyes peeled for one particular secret that appears to have so far eluded even those with early access. Dig into the Resident Evil Requiem challenges menu, and you’ll find all manner…

If there’s one TV show that I both love with all my heart but also find frequently, naggingly frustrating, then it’s The X-Files.I’ve been obsessed with Chris Carter’s sci-fi mystery series since I saw the first episode on BBC2 in the UK, all the way back in 1994. I was there to witness the show’s rapid ascent to a buzzy, cult sensation and then a proper mainstream success. And I was there to witness its protracted decline into conspiracy arc plot incoherence.The moment where The X-Files started to lose its way is a matter of some debate, though most fans…
