Capcom has released another Resident Evil 2 trailer, but this one’s a little different. It’s actually a live-action video, and something of a tribute to the late, great George A. Romero, who directed a similar ad for the original Resident Evil 2 in Japan back in 1998. The ad features both Leon and Claire attempting to survive against zombie hordes in Raccoon City’s infested police department, and it looks pretty cool....
A viral outbreak has occurred, the city is on lockdown, and infection is rapidly tearing through the streets. These might seem like stories ripped from modern headlines, but in this case, they are the events leading into the story of Resident Evil 3. Capcom has announced that its upcoming Resident Evil 3 remake will see a demo come March 19. As well, its new multiplayer title, Resident Evil: Resistance, will see an open beta on March 27....
Capcom has announced as part of last night’s Resident Evil Showcase that it is partnering with Armature Studio and Oculus Studios to bring classic Resident Evil 4 to VR exclusively for the Oculus Quest 2. Though details are a little on the thin side, the accompanying gameplay trailer below indicates it’ll be porting as much of the game as possible into fully immersive 3D VR, with even the game’s famous inventory briefcase screen present and correct....
Just Cause 4’s latest trailer is all about facing the eye of the storm, and that’s not a metaphor for anything: Rico literally launches himself into the midst of a massive tornado, as you do. Developer Avalanche has already confirmed that the weather will play a huge factor in Just Cause 4, with the revamped Apex game engine allowing for all sorts of extreme conditions such as tornadoes and tropical lightning storms....
Valorant’s anti-cheat measures are not trawling players’ PCs, claimed developer Riot Games, after players voiced concerns about the extent of the software inside their machines (via ScreenRant). It may look like Counter-Strike crossed with Overwatch, but Valorant is offering something that will set it apart from its competitors and foster and support competitive players in its community. With “dedicated 128-tick servers for all global players, for free; a custom-built netcode in pursuit of precise hit registration; server authoritative game architecture and proprietary anti-cheat prevention and detection from day one,” the game is going to be “expanding upon the traditional tac shooter experience and bringing something new to the genre....
Last year was huge for roguelike titles. We had the releases of Hades, Spelunky 2, Rogue Legacy 2, and many others. But by far the most chaotic roguelike to come out (officially) last year was Risk of Rain 2. The game is centered around creating the most broken build possible so you can spend hours on the same run. A good player will know when to call it quits in Risk of Rain 2, but a great player sees the end and says “we must go further....
Overwatch 2 players will be able to play alongside original Overwatch players and will take their unlocked cosmetics for the original roster with them into the new game (via Windows Central). This is reassuring because I had concerns that the new Switch players would have been left in the dust, even though they’d only recently joined the fray. In a press release, Blizzard stated clearly that it will continue to support the community and that the sequel will let Overwatch players jump into the PvP modes of Overwatch 2....
South Korea is going hard on video game hacking, as the Icheon District Court just sentenced a man to one year in prison for selling illegal programs. This case is of note because the hacker in question collected quite a large amount of money for distributing thousands of aim assistance programs to Overwatch players. However, it’s but one of many arrests made this year thanks to a collaboration between Overwatch developer Blizzard and the South Korean police....

Remember when it seemed like the Persona games would never come to PC? And then Persona 4 Golden randomly showed up on Steam out of seemingly nowhere? The time has finally come for Persona 5 Royal to kick off its console shackles and reach an entirely new audience on PC and, to anyone who has yet to play it, the wait will likely be worth it. This is easily one of the best JRPGs in existence, featuring well over 100 hours of gameplay and one of the best stories in the medium....
UPDATE: Vice says that it too has heard that Sony will be revealing PlayStation Neo in New York on September 7. “One source, who chose to remain anonymous, described the upcoming event as a “technical showcase”,” the site said. ORIGINAL STORY: Sony will reveal PlayStation 4 Neo during a special event being held in New York on Wednesday, September 7, according to a report by French outlet Gameblog. A rough translation of Gameblog’s report says that “while all indications pointed to an announcement of the PS4 Neo at the Tokyo Game Show in September, our sources tell us an announcement on 7 September in New York....

PlayStation VR will launch at a price point in line with a new gaming platform, Sony Computer Entertainment CEO Andrew House has confirmed. House didn’t give any specific numbers, but his comments indicate a price somewhere in the range of £200 to £300 which in turn would suggest a VR setup with a PS4 would cost something in the region of £500. PlayStation VR is targeted for a first half 2016 launch....
Retro game remakes are tough to do well - in addition to making old games playable on modern hardware, you’ve also got to understand the intent of the original creators to keep the spirit of that game alive, especially if you’re looking to produce a proper remake rather than a mere remaster. Perhaps that’s what makes Pocky and Rocky Reshrined, a 2D scrolling action game for Switch and PS4, so compelling: it was developed by the same core staff that created the SNES version of Pocky and Rocky 30 years ago....

Starter Pokémon have always been seen as iconic, dependable companions. Ever since the days of Pokémon Red and Blue (and Green), they’ve been by players’ sides, the Pokémon that we tend to form the closest bonds with (just ask the dedicated Mudkip meme brigade). At the same time, though, starters don’t tend to be Pokémon that set the competitive world alight. There are exceptions, though, and some of these critters are real powerhouses....
In Pokémon Sword & Shield, trainers are introduced to this wonderful thing that’s possible in the Galar region called Dynamaxing. In battle, trainers can Dynamax their Pokémon for 3 turns which results in the creature growing extremely large and gaining a power boost. Certain Pokémon can take this to the next level and do a thing called Gigantamaxing which is just like Dynamaxing except for the Pokémon’s physical appearance also changes for those 3 turns....
Pokémon Go’s Gen 4 will offer 107 new Pokémon, the second largest addition of new creatures to the game since its summer 2016 debut - topping the 80 or so added in Gen 2, and close to the numbers we’ve seen in Gen 3. As the name suggests, Gen 4 Pokémon are from the franchise’s fourth generation of games - Pokémon Diamond, Pearl and Platinum - and feature many evolutions of creatures from previous generations, as well as some new baby Pokémon and, as always, brand new Legendary creatures....
Pokecord was undoubtedly one of the most popular Discord bots that let players collect, battle and trade Pokemon.
