See Resident Evil’s freakish bio-organic weapons in high definition

Remaster still on for ‘early 2015’ Capcom has uploaded new screenshots from its high-definitionResident Evilremaster for PC, PS3, PS4, Xbox 360, and Xbox One. There’s a greater range of scenes and mutated enemies in this batch, including a Crimson Head, Lisa Trevor, Yawn, and those damned sharks.

The last we heard about a potentialSly Cooper 4was in Sucker Punch’s last game,inFAMOUS, where the title was teased in a very subtle Easter Egg. Not much happened beyond that, but this new teaser has pretty much sealed the deal....

Sonic is a demon in this Shin Megami Tensei crossover

The blue devil I always felt like Sega and Atlus being part of the same company is a little weird, and now they’re making it official. In case you missed it, Sega releasedShin Megami Tensei: Liberation Dx2in 2018 worldwide, and you guessed it, it’s a gacha game. But what’s exceedingly more interesting than the monetization scheme is the various crossovers it entails. Like this one, from Sonic! Announced on the game’s official site, Sonic will be a “limited time only” demon,as a celebration of his 30th anniversary....

Sony explains why you’ll have to pay for online with PS4

Will Sony fans get used to the idea? Pretty much the only thing people didn’t like about Sony’s E3 conference was that tiny little part where they announced that you’d have topay a subscription fee (PS+) to play games onlinewith the PS4. It was kind of a bombshell for some, but for others, it made sense giventhe value of PlayStation Plus. After being asked what went into the decision to charge for online gameplay, Sony explained that online features and services are going to be a “big pillar” of the PS4 experience....

Not only did it mark the return of the hilariousUnbreakable Kimmy Schmidton Netflix, but here in the States we finally gotBravely Second: End Layer.

Super Meat Boy might ditch WiiWare, go retail

I recently had the opportunity to talk with Edmund McMillen, co-creator ofSuper Meat Boy. We talked about tons of stuff, most of which I can’t repeat. I can repeat this though, fromTeam Meat’s Twitter–“if we decided to try to find a publisher & do a boxed version for $20 (with extras) but come out later on the wii, would you hold out?“ Edmund asked me the same question. I told him that if there is any home console where a 2D platformer has a chance of succeeding at retail, it’s the Wii, as proven byKirby’s Epic YarnandNew Super Mario Bros....

That glorious Mega Man X Sigma figure is now shipping

He’s almost too nefarious This morning, I woke up to a rather nice email from Amazon, noting that Bandai’sbadassMega Man XSigma figurewas shipping out. It came as a bit of a surprise, especially considering that the toy in question had a “TBA” date for months, but alas, it’s out now should you want to pick it up. Confusingly enough the page is still asking for pre-orders, but just know that if you’re willing to plunk down the $56 for the non-poseable statue, it has the distinct possibility of shipping any day now....

The Last of Us on PS4 almost didn’t fit on the disc

An interesting take at the start of a new generation The Last of Us: Remasteredis a real thing that’s happening on the PS4, and the visuals are reportedly too “remastered” that they almost didn’t fit on a standard Blu-Ray disc. Speaking to Edge, creative director Neil Druckmann stated, “Our cinematics are now running at 1080p and 60fps, and that involved rendering them all from scratch. It’s interesting that now instead of a technical bottleneck, the bottleneck is can we fit all this on the disc?...
