Unlike its immediate predecessors, Resident Evil 7 is a return to form for the survival horror franchise. Where Resident Evil 4, 5, and 6 are ostenbily all action games with horror flourishing (to varying degrees of success), Resident Evil 7 is pure horror from start to finish. The first person camera might seem like a reinvention of the series’ gameplay loop, but it’s more a recontextualization – Resident Evil’s means of keeping itself frightening and fresh in a modern age....

Capcom releases an official gameplay video demonstrating Resident Evil spin-off Umbrella Corps, and some of its core mechanics, including the zombie jammer. Capcom today released a narrated gameplay video demonstrating what gamers can expect from Umbrella Corps. The video shows some specific gameplay mechanics unique to Umbrella Corps and showcases the Alpha and Bravo teams facing off against each other in a zombie-infested area. The video, seen below, encompasses a three minute time-limit battle called “One Life Match,” meaning that a player only has one life, and once a team is wiped out, the opposing team wins....

3D Realms has announced that its retro action RPG Graven is now available in early access on PC. Available via Steam, GOG, and the Epic Games Store for $24.99 (with a 10% launch week discount), players will be able to explore the first of three planned regions that the game will offer. This should encompass a few hours of content and give players an idea of what the final game will be like....

Returnal is supposed to be Housemarque’s “most ambitious title yet,” so it’s strange to see how dated its design philosophy is. It’s even more odd to see the people working on it discuss “unconventional” aspects of its makeup, which are so overtly conventional that they’re actually harmful. Housemarque Games recently published episode 2 of its HouseCast series, which is designed to offer a deep dive into the development of Returnal. For the most part, the conversation is pretty standard, but there’s one moment exactly two minutes into the interview - which is embedded below - in which game director Harry Krueger references the game’s female lead....

This Riverdale review contains spoilers. Riverdale Season 5 Episode 17 “People believe what they want to believe.” It’s no secret that Riverdale has trouble sticking the landing. With the notable exception of the debut season’s finale, each year has seen the resolution of its respective core mystery solved in an acceptable, yet not entirely satisfying manner. (Please don’t get me started on how things wrapped up with the Gargoyle King)....

Ronin is one of the free Rogues you can choose to play as in Rogue Company, and she is definitely underrated. Her abilities combined with her loadout make her great for pros and beginners alike. Unfortunately, many players neglect to understand exactly what they need to do to become better when they choose to use her. It requires the perfect combination of shop items and strategy to be successful with Ronin....

With the official reveal of the Nvidia GeForce RTX 3090 almost here, some incredible benchmarks have leaked for the flagship graphics card, showing performance gains greater than even the most optimistic of current expectations. The source of these leaks is not verified so the information should be considered a rumor, but if accurate, it suggests that the 3090 will be well worth the apparent high price tag. The images in question are reportedly draft slides from an Nvidia presentation, and were leaked from a new Twitter account, but have been shared by respected leaker CyberPunkCat, providing the information with more credibility....

A new report suggests that Sony will be holding its follow-up State of Play event in early August. The leak comes from well-known scooper Roberto Serrano, who had previously announced the last State of Play on June 11th, in which the PlayStation 5 system itself was revealed, in addition to several interesting titles. The purported times and date for the upcoming live event are set for Thursday, August 6th at 1 PM PT/ 4 PM ET and can be watched via YouTube, Twitch, and even on the PS4 console itself....

If there’s something gamers can count on every year, it’s that another Call of Duty will drop. However, it seems publisher Activision appears to be ramping up the number of CoD games one should expect. For example, Warzone recently released, but a Black Ops Reboot is said to be in development for this year as well. It doesn’t end there either as information concerning 2021’s line up have seemingly trickled onto the internet....

In a bit of disappointing news, it has been confirmed that the upcoming Saints Row: The Third Remastered will be locked to 30 FPS on consoles. This includes even the PS4 Pro and Xbox One X with both platforms favoring visual fidelity over smoother performance. The details came from an IGN video posted by writer Ryan McCaffrey. While the PC version won’t have any framerate limitations, it seems THQ Nordic wanted to emphasize the visual makeover more than push the performance metric....

Kenshi is unique. Not because it’s a sandbox RPG with a massive map filled with competing factions and diverse characters. Not because it combines action and real-time strategy elements into a cohesive whole. And not because there’s an extensive crafting system or a Fallout-esque damage system where limbs can be broken and even severed, resulting in their permanent loss. No. Kenshi is unique because the player is not unique. The player is not the chosen one....

It should come as no surprise to anyone at this point, but scalpers are already selling PS5 consoles at an outrageously high price. Despite Sony’s and other retailers’ best attempts to limit purchases to one per person, many of the limited number of consoles went out to scalpers looking to make a quick buck at the expense of all those around them. For those that are unfamiliar with the term, scalping is when someone buys up the stock of a product before anyone else can and then tries to sell it at a higher cost in order to turn a profit....

When it comes to the issue of promotional codes being used to acquire video game content via product tie-ins, Destiny is neither the first, nor will they be the last to implement them. While such a move often smacks of goofy gimmickry, such as Assassin’s Creed: Unity’s attempt to get gamers to buy separate cans of Edge shaving cream for extra loot, occasionally the results can work decently. For instance, Call of Duty’s past cooperation with Mountain Dew for in-game cosmetic items actually made a lot of sense due to a majority of the series’ fan base already having an affinity for the soda....

Sea of Thieves currently stands as one of the biggest Xbox One console-exclusives of 2018, and while its full launch isn’t until March 20, fans will have a chance to try it out beforehand. Rare has announced the closed beta dates for Sea of Thieves, which will be accessible from January 24 to January 29. Since Sea of Thieves is running a closed beta instead of an open one, not all gamers will be able to participate....

Nearly nine years have passed since The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim released. In that period, players have spent thousands of hours scouring the Nordic region for new items and Shouts all while uncovering unique secrets. Some secrets in Skyrim have remained a mystery to this day while others have taken years to find. It goes to show just how massive a game like Skyrim is. Even fans of the franchise are sure to miss a few of Skyrim’s secrets....

Between Arrows, Bombs, and Slingshot Seeds, Link has quite a bit of ammo to micromanage in Skyward Sword. For the most part, The Legend of Zelda is fairly generous when it comes to feeding Link ammunition. Games like Ocarina of Time make it nearly impossible to run out of ammo, so Skyward Sword rebalances things. Inventory management is a core component of Skyward Sword’s gameplay and you can only carry so much ammo at a time without upgrading your items....

This Star Wars article contains major spoilers. Unlike the last few installments full of twists and turns, Solo: A Star Wars Story is a fairly straightforward romp through space starring Han, Chewie, Lando, and newcomers Qi’ra and Tobias Beckett. With Solo, we get to finally see (in the new canon, anyway) how young Han Solo became the scoundrel we know and love from the Original Trilogy as well as how he met his loyal Wookiee companion, Chewbacca, and Lando Calrissian, his charming frenemy from The Empire Strikes Back....
