Besides announcing the Resident Evil Code Veronica remake, which is dropping the “Code” from the original's name, CAPCOM had other announcements to share during this year's Summer Game Fest showcase. Among them was a massive expansion to Monster Hunter Wilds called Monster Hunter Wilds Ascendance, which is launching on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S sometime in 2027. The announcement trailer provided the first look at a brand-new location filled with floating islands and ruins, which already looks significantly more vibrant than anything in the base game. In addition, the trailer also provided a look at the core new […]

Besides working on their own IPs like the Bayonetta series, Japanese development studio PlatinumGames has worked on games based on popular properties such as Transformers and Avatar. In 2016, the studio also worked on Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutants In Manhattan, and it seems like the Japanese developer wasn't done with the franchise, as they are working on Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Last Ronin. The new action game was announced today during Summer Game Fest with a short teaser showcasing just enough to get players excited. Sadly, no release window nor platforms have been confirmed, suggesting that the game […]

Following the successful release of Resident Evil Requiem earlier this year, the beloved survival-horror series by CAPCOM will return in 2027 on PC, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and Nintendo Switch 2 with Resident Evil Veronica, a remake of the classic entry in the series originally released on the SEGA Dreamcast back in 2000. The rumored remake was announced during today's Summer Game Fest showcase just as previously rumored with a deceptive trailer that only showed the modern recreation of Claire Redfield at its very end, alongside the game's name, which will drop "Code" from the original. Unfortunately, a precise […]

We have seen very little of The Witcher 4 to date, so we still have no idea how the game will play and how different it will be from its predecessor. However, a recent discovery suggests the new entry in the series may address what is widely considered one of the series' biggest issues: the combat system. As spotted by Reddit user Lymbasy, Jacqueline Kate Salsman, former senior combat designer at Santa Monica Studio for God of War and God of War Ragnarok, has joined CD Projekt Red as an Expert Gameplay Designer, and is now working on The Witcher 4.

With God of War Ragnarok bringing the Norse saga to an end for Kratos and Atreus, the next entry in the series by Santa Monica Studio is set to feature a completely different setting and ancient gods for the two to wrestle with. Rumors of a possible ancient Egypt setting have been circulating for some time now, and they may not be too far off the mark, as newly discovered information hidden inside God of War Ragnarok’s files heavily hints at such a setting. Over on the God of War Ragnarok subreddit, user TheMorse_ reported having found a couple a hidden cutscene inside the game's file, which could be the […]

This week's launch of NVIDIA DLSS 4.5, following the company's traditional CES keynote, has been yet another monumental step for the technology. Now available via a new driver and NVIDIA App update, every game that supports previous versions of the technology can take advantage of the 2nd-generation Transformer model to enjoy superior image quality, which often matches or even surpasses that delivered by native resolutions in both older games like Red Dead Redemption 2 and in newer titles like Sandfall Interactive's celebrated role-playing game Clair Obscur: Expedition 33. A new comparison video shared by Bang4BuckPC Gamer on YouTube puts the Game of the Year […]

While Final Fantasy VII often dominates the spotlight, its 1994 predecessor, Final Fantasy VI, remains the "holy grail" for many long-term series fans. It pioneered the "magiteck" aesthetic and delivered one of gaming’s most chilling antagonists in Kefka Palazzo. However, if a modern reimagining of Terra’s story ever breaks ground, it won't be under the direction of the man who spent the last decade rebuilding Midgar and the world of Gaia In a new interview with GamerBraves, Hamaguchi-san talked about his love for Final Fantasy VI: "I grew up admiring Final Fantasy VI and VII as a child, and they […]

One of the most significant flaws of Monster Hunter Wilds when it launched earlier this year was the low challenge level offered by the launch content. The general consensus on this issue wasn't fueled by the opinion of veteran players only. Myself, a hunter far from being a series veteran, found the game way too easy, and with the launch endgame not offering anything significantly challenging, I left the game behind, returning to Monster Hunter Rise Sunbreak for my Monster Hunter fix. However, the game's producer claims that this issue has been resolved, urging lapsed players to return to the […]

The core survival-horror elements of Resident Evil Requiem have been showcased effectively in recent events (such as Gamescom 2025), but a crucial part of the experience, combat, has remained unseen until today. Unfortunately, the reveal wasn't accompanied by the confirmation all fans are waiting for: the presence of Leon Kennedy in the game. A few hours ago, new Resident Evil Requiem combat footage started making the rounds online. The short clip was shown in a series' special program which aired in Japan earlier today. This clip showcases a brand-new area and Grace fighting multiple zombies using a handgun in some […]

Although its popularity doesn't reach the heights of other established series like Final Fantasy and Dragon Quest, the Octopath Traveler franchise is proving to be rather seminal for the JRPG genre as a whole, mainly thanks to its HD-2D visual style which has been employed to great success in other titles, including the tactical role-playing game Triangle Strategy, the upcoming action role-playing game The Adventures of Elliot: The Millennium Tales, and remakes of classic games such as the first three entries in the Dragon Quest series and in Star Ocean: The Second Story R, remake of the second entry in […]

Those who still have to purchase a Nintendo Switch 2 can rest easy, for the time being, as Nintendo expects the console's price to remain stable, unless significant changes occur. Speaking during a shareholders' Q&A session, Nintendo's president Shuntaru Furukawa touched upon the system's price, saying that the company expects to "maintain the current level of profitability for hardware for the time being unless there are significant changes in external factors, such as a shift in tariff assumptions, or other unexpected events." While the danger of a price increase caused by the rising prices of certain components remains a risk, […]
