Games based off of various foods and snacks are common, mind you. The Burger King 360 games, Chex Quest, M and M's Kart Racing are some examples. Yet even with all those examples, I think I found the biggest "why" in retro gaming, in terms of brand tie ins. ...this exsists. This is... Read more

Pure Xbox14:37And it may indicate where Xbox is heading in the future as well. As you may have seen over at our sister site Push Square today, Sony has announced that AI upscaling is coming to the base PS5 in the form of something called QSSR, which is very similar to the PSSR upscaling on the PS5 Pro. In a nutshell, the idea here is that QSSR analyses game images on a pixel-by-pixel basis, and then applies AI upscaling to essentially add clarity to details that would otherwise look more blurry. You can see an example of this from Ghost of Yotei up above, which is one of two games that the tech is debuting for (the other being Marvel's Wolverine). Read the full article on purexbox.com

In my time as a videogame partaker, I have crawled through approximately three billion airvents. I may well have crawled through more vents than you've had hot dinners. As such, any videogame that can get me excited about loosening a barred hatch and hauling my heavy ass into a square tunnel is doing something right. The Wild Gentlemen's new sci-fi immersive sim RetroSpace gives pretty fair vent. It hides them all over. You'll walk along a dilapidated, meandering corridor and your eye will be caught by a certain combination of shadows, flirtatiously screened by pipes. 'Can I fit behind there?' You ask yourself, and lo, you have revealed a shortcut to the head engineer's office. Elsewhere, switches peek from behind stacks of luggable crates, and bent guard-rails draw your eye to a footwide ledge leading around the next pillar. In general, RetroSpace does a nice job of squirrelling secrets into even the smallest chambers, and if the secret is very often a "rocket doughnut" or other inventory-clogging flotsam, sensing the prize and snuffling after it is a thrill. I hope the thrill will intensify as RetroSpace goes on, perhaps leaving a few of its obvious influences behind. Read more

More news for fans of Sega's legendary arcade racers, as homebrewer alphanu1 has coded a PC port of crowd-pleasing IndyCar title Daytona USA , originally released in 1994. If alphanu1's name rings a bell, then that's probably because they were featured recently on Time Extension for creating a new FPGA Model 1 core - best utilised in another classic Sega arcade, Virtua Racing . The new port works by recompiling the code of the Daytona USA Deluxe '93 ROM into C++, allowing the game to run natively on Windows without the need for an emulator.

With the review embargo now having lifted for Gears of War: E-Day, that means we've also finally got some raw gameplay footage of both the Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S versions of the game.

Note from James, 02/10: We've heard your complaints that some of the wording in this piece - a lot of which, if I'm honest, was added/changed by me in the edit - overstates the chair's potential health benefits. The HBADA’s X7 chair may reduce back pain during long periods of sitting at your desk but it will not literally fix your spine. While it is and will remain the RPS way to indulge in some occasional hyperbole, we don't want to suggest that swivel chairs cure physical conditions, so I've clarified these bits to avoid confusion. AI is everywhere, exhausting to keep up with, and increasingly perceived as harmful to games. But that’s mostly generative AI; the more limited, less media-scraping and energy-hungry breeds of artificial intelligence can still play a harmless, maybe even useful role, especially on the hardware side . Even if it finds itself in some unexpected places, as is the case with HBADA’s X7 chair . While AI-powered lumbar support sounds like the kind of gimmicky nonsense that’s become all too common in 2026, I’ve been using an X7 for a week, and it’s... surprisingly effective? Definitely for straightening up my posture, which I'm hopeful will help with my recurring back pain issues. It’s been a very pleasant surprise. Read more

Push Square09:30Working towards a "crossover" in the future. Capcom's own Resident Evil remake initiative is proving so successful that it will one day run out of mainline games to actually modernise, but the developer has been planning for that possibility all along. With two "tracks", as producer Jun Takeuchi puts it, through the Resident Evil series — the remakes and the brand new titles — Capcom has been anticipating a "crossover" between the tracks. "Someday, the remake series will catch up with the era of the numbered titles, and we are already thinking about what we will do when that happens," he then continued.

Normally, the right one compensates well enough, but in VR the blur becomes much more obvious. Also, they will protect the lenses from my way-too-long eyelashes. I paid €86 including shipping.

Capcom have done a brisk trade in Resident Evil remakes this past decade. They've gone back to formula with Resident Evil 2 , Resident Evil 3 , and Resident Evil 4 , not just bumping up the resolution and revarnishing the cutscenes, but writing new variations on the old survival horror fables. There's a Resident Evil: Code Veronica regurgitation due in 2027, and a Resident Evil 0 resurrection allegedly to follow in 2028 . The problems with this strategy are perhaps expressed by my previous sentence's struggle to come up with extra synonyms for "remake": sooner or later, Capcom are going to run out of original games they can credibly overhaul. Including the forthcoming or rumoured projects, they've only got Resident Evils 5 and 6 left now before they hit the "modern era" inaugurated by Resident Evil 7, the game that introduced the fancy RE Engine used by the remakes.

Ever since The Witcher 3 's decade-on expansion Songs of the Past was revealed not to be a windup nor a case of empthy rumourmongering, I've been eating up as many details about its story as CD Projekt Red have offered. The truth is that, outside of showing off the setting and a few of the characters Gerry'll chat to, they've kept their lips pretty tight. On one hand, I get wanting to keep narrative surprises intact, but on the other, it'd be nice to see the studio be less vague about this extra chapter of a story folks assumed they'd already seen through to a satisfying end a decade ago. So, in addition to scouring other interviews about the DLC, I flung my own questions at CD Projekt Red story director Marcin Blacha, who worked in that role and as a lead writer on TW3 back in the day.

Port Desire, the hemmed-in city setting of immersive sim No Law, is hard to place. At points, it reminds me of walking around Lisbon. It shares that Portuguese city's verticality, where hill-straddling streets shouldered by colourful houses and corner shops can feel like tiers on a wedding cake. The strong sunlight and bursts of foliage reinforce the mediterranean vibes. Yet, the port city's structure and history is much closer to Kowloon Walled City, the ungoverned Chinese enclave that existed within British-owned Hong Kong. Through the 1900s, with the British government taking a hands-off policy to the tiny district and the Chinese government exercising no control over its citizens, Kowloon became the most densely populated city on earth, with 33,000 citizens living in just 2.6-hectare borders. With virtually no official police presence, the city attracted anyone looking for a less-observed, less-regulated life – gangs, refugees, and a surprising number of unlicensed dentists. As one of No Law's creative directors, Tor Frick, tells it, Port Desire is very similar. Not specifically the dentists bit, more the general, isolated lawlessness. Read more

Nintendo Life05:00"we have been gradually preparing". Capcom has been proper busy over the last decade or so, pumping out a delightful mix of new Resident Evil titles alongside critically-acclaimed remake of its older entries. There's a lingering sense amongst fans, however, that at some point there will simply be no more remakes. The older games will eventually catch up with the new, and Capcom will need to prepare accordingly. Well, apparently it is! According to Jun Takeuchi, at least.

Final Fantasy is arguably the GOAT of all video game franchise OSTs with the sheer amount of quality it's produced.

Anyone who's played Octopath Traveler knows it's OST is one the series highlights, if not its greatest element.

I have an unopened copy on my shelf that I got when the Switch version came out that I never got around to playing. I have a bit of time this month to play a meaty rpg so I was thinking of just finally playing it.

Camelot's post-Mario Tennis RPG was a graphical powerhouse, filled with beautiful sprite work and a great soundtrack, fun characters, an interesting story, and one of those classic "only-in-the-early-2000s" save transfer tools where a code at the end of the game could allow certain transferring of data to its direct sequel.

As part of Valve's work on developing the Steam Frame VR headset, they worked on foveated rendering support for the Mesa Turnip driver that supports the Qualcomm Adreno graphics with open-source Vulkan API support. Foveated rendering is the technique to more closely mimic human vision by rendering high detail at your direct gaze point and lower quality in the peripheral vision. For computer graphics, foveated rendering for headsets can be beneficial for conserving power in areas of the render frame that are less important to provide more performance with your main area of focus...
