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…
One of the most infamous easter eggs in the original Resident Evil 2 is that if you check Albert Wesker’s desk 50 times, you’ll see a picture of rookie recruit Rebecca Chambers in a sporty outfit.The easter egg has been referenced before, and since we return to the Raccoon City Police Department in Resident Evil: Requiem, it only makes sense that the easter egg returns. If you’ve been playing through the game and you’re missing one or two files in the Raccoon City area, then you’re in luck, because we’ve got the solution you need.You weren’t being ignorant: these two…
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…
Most of the time, life sucks. On rare occasions, however, the moons line up. Having spent a few hours this past weekend playing the Steam Next Fest demo of cosy campervan survivabuilder Outbound, I returned to my desk on Monday and stumbled across a campervan mod for my long-time vice Cyberpunk 2077. Naturally, I wasn’t going to turn down the chance to compare the experience of driving around the countryside in a mobile home twice.
All of the best RPGs give you plenty of freedom of choice: your stats, your gear, the order you take on questlines, decisions that create branching narratives… your hair color in the character creator. But in most cases, there is still a main, hand-crafted storyline that guides you through. Well, here’s a surprising spin on The Witcher that gives you choose-your-own-adventure levels of narrative flexibility. It’s called Reigns: The Witcher, and it’s out now. This isn’t a mod or a fan project – this is an officially licensed title in the Reigns series, following in the footsteps of its Game…

Valve’s Lionel Hutzes have been summoned to slide down the fireman’s pole and deal with yet more legal wranglings involving the behemoth behind Steam.
