  02-10-2026 13:33 via gamesradar.com
  
  MediEvil, the iconic gothic PS1 platformer, is the latest classic to get the PC recompilation treatment, and I'm thrilled to confirm AI isn't involved. I'll admit that my heart initially sank given that the retro recomp scene is currently plagued with vibe-coded projects, and while the artist and voice behind Sir Dan has appropriate words for anyone who's thinking of doing that to the classic caper, this specific project is officially made with "human hands."Highlighted by Gallowpedia, the MediE

  02-10-2026 12:34 via gamesradar.com

• One of Diablo 2's most coveted items surprise-drops in Diablo 4, and it's just as OP as 25 years ago

  01-10-2026 23:50 via gamesradar.com
  
  Old Diablo heads will remember the Annihilus charm from Diablo 2 as one of the iconic ARPG's most powerful and coveted items. Even in its worst-rolled form, having one in your inventory granted +1 to all skills, +10 to all attributes, +10 to all resistances, and +5 to XP gained. It's the only small charm in the game that grants bonuses to all skills and attributes, and because it's small, it only takes up a single inventory space. It's the crown jewel of Diablo 2's endgame, and now it's in Diabl

There are data breaches from Meta, AI-generated restaurant menus that make burritos look like they've been shot with a gun, and other evidence that technology is constantly distorting and desecrating our lives. Upcoming Silent Hill-ish horror game Signal Veil understands the weight o

• RPG legend behind Fallout: New Vegas does "everything" he can to stop save scumming

  If you've played XCOM, you know the feeling of seeing a 95% chance to hit, taking the shot, and missing. But that's just how statistics work sometimes. Josh Sawyer, the legendary RPG director behind Fallout: New Vegas and Pillars of Eternity, really wishes players understood that – or, at least, he wishes he'd been more cynical about player behaviour when designing some of his games.The crux of the issue is this: players see a 95% chance of a given action being successful, and they're shoc

• How Silent Hill: Townfall’s “Creepy Game Boy” Weaponizes Nostalgia For The Better

  01-10-2026 23:00 via gamespot.com

  I have a complicated relationship with the 1990s, an era remembered for its hazy pre-HD tech and early signs of broader connectivity without the mentally taxing standard of an always-online world. Lately, I've found the aesthetics of that era calling to me in the books I read, the shows I watch, and even in my social media feeds that regularly spit out "remember when?" reels that dredge up imagery of classrooms and malls that I never actually set foot in yet feel familiar. Instagram seems to t

• "AI upscaling is coming to PS5": Sony's base console is getting its own version of a PS5 Pro feature

  01-10-2026 21:34 via gamesradar.com
  
  For almost two years, I've watched various friends, family members, and co-workers adopt the PS5 Pro, and I've largely been managing my jealousy with one notable exception: PSSR. The PS5 Pro's AI-powered upscaling tech is genuinely next-gen stuff, and makes games that already look exceptional on the base PS5 appear noticeably sharper and more detailed. It's not so impressive that I want to spend $900 to upgrade to the PS5 Pro, but it's enough to make my six-year-old PS5 look even dustier than it
