Halo 1 Remake Lets You Play In Third-Person, And It Looks Great

Gears Of War: E-Day Skipping PS5 Means Reaching Fewer Players, And Microsoft Is OK With That
via gamespot.com
Gears of War: E-Day was reportedly planned for PlayStation 5, but Microsoft has opted to skip a Sony version. The decision was apparently not made at the last minute as some suspected. In any event, the developers at The Coalition are OK with the game skipping PS5, even if it means reaching fewer players, and presumably making less money, overall.
The Coalition studio creative director Matt Searcy told Eurogamer, that, "We never talked about" bringing E-Day to PS5 in the first place. That is tru

Players Think Kingdom Hearts’ New Art Is AI-Generated

Yesterday's Nintendo Direct certainly got Kingdom Hearts players talking--but it's not the kind of discourse Square Enix was probably hoping for after unveiling a new Kingdom Hearts 4 trailer and announcing that native versions of the entire Kingdom Hearts trilogy are coming to Switch 2 on October 8. Instead, eagle-eyed players are focused on what appears to be AI-generated key art, which Square Enix shared on X shortly after the announcement of the Kingdom Hearts Collection [I-III]As pointed ou

via gamespot.com
Resident Evil: Veronica was announced during Summer Game Fest to plenty of buzz and excitement, as it's arguably the classic Resident Evil game most in need of a remake. However, while it is indeed a reimagined version of a game from more than 26 years ago, there is one major way Capcom is treating it like a mainline, modern game.
During an interview with GameSpot, Capcom explained that, because the other modern mainline Resident Evil games have one-word subtitles, this should apply to a remake
