Retro spruce-up House of the Dead: Remake is making the jump from Switch to PlayStation, Xbox, and PC next Friday, 28th April. Developed by Forever Entertainment and MegaPixel Studio, which previously collaborated on the similarPanzer Dragoon remake, this updated version of Sega’s beloved 1997 arcade rail-shooter, delivers all the ludicrous zombie blasting action (and wonderfully awful dialogue) of the original, albeit with a fresh lick of modern-day paint. Alongside its enhanced visuals, which you might scrutinise for yourself in the trailer below, House of the Dead: Remake also features a new Horde mode that increases the on-screen enemy count, updated controls (what with modern hardware largely being upsettingly lightgun-free), two-player local co-op, a photo mode, gallery, leaderboards, and achievements....

Orisan to go back? Yes, the infamous party-wiping mounted chaingun of a character can now move around while in turret form. Bastion is completely transformed - and is not the only one. The vibe seems to be to keep the pace up and keep things moving. Aiding this is a throwable bouncy bomb in place of Bastion’s old repair/heal. She doesn’t have a shield now at all, in fact, and her damage-buff Ultimate has gone....

“We need to see the difference that exists in the world reflected back at us.” Selene isn’t your typical video game protagonist. Perry explains how Anne Beyer, Selene’s face model, spun the Twitter remarks into a positive. And so being able to play Selene was my chance to not be that'. “I thought that was such a profound and wonderful statement,” says Perry. And I just think, why the fuck not?...

“The ‘true’ ending is the one you got and experienced.” Spoiler warning: This piece contains spoilers for Unsighted. Every once in a while, along comes a game I just can’t stop thinking about. Or like how Nier slowly lets you in on its story through multiple playthroughs. More often than not though, it’s because of how the world is realised. And I don’t think 2021 had a more fleshed out world than the metroidvania Unsighted....

Partly, though, I wanted to take phone pictures of Tokyo-To as a tourist would. I ended up taking screenshots of the actual screen. Okay: so while I was doing this, it felt super stupid. If I already sound like an idiot here - and I’m pretty sure I do m8s! I definitely felt like one. It was not at all like being a tourist in a city. Here’s the thing....

“You do you.” Well, it’s here, and boy has it delivered. Everything from your teeth to your car’s horn can be made just the way you want. You want to roll up to a job with a car that sounds like a clown mobile? And the customisation doesn’t stop there.

“It’s the year 2022 and some of this stuff doesn’t age well.” Challenges include options which restrict gameplay to just knives or rocket launchers, or shroud the map in fog. That’s the concept there. “But there’s also things that are fundamental changes to the rules of Mercenaries,” Ivey continues. Here, instead of the usual two-minute starting clock, things get more frantic. And then I pick it up and I get maybe like 20 more seconds....

Nanite and Lumen are incredible - but the performance implications are daunting. Unreal Engine 5 recently emerged from early access, with a full version now available to games creators. So what have we learned from this release? Put simply: it’s demanding. Creating and rendering cityscapes of this level of detail is no walk in the park. Previous UE5 demos had been limited to linear, uniform, rocky landscapes. However, the results in this demo speak for themselves....
