While proprietary engines aren't all that common at many studios--given the fact that they're just simply difficult to make--Capcom has found a lot of success with its own one, RE Engine. It's been used across all of the studio's games since 2017's Resident Evil 7, with the upcoming Pragmata being no different. However, a small thing you might not think about being important is that Diana, the game's deuteragonist, has very long hair. According to producer Naoto Oyama, the RE Engine actually...
What's the most important thing that EA's new Skate game needs? Contrary to popular belief, polished gameplay and fun environments aren't at the top of the list, because that's a spot reserved for the soundtrack. If we're talking sub-genres within the playlist itself, then naturally, we have to know just how much of it is reserved for the best music to power a kickflip: ska. So just how much ska is in Skate?

Ever since Resident Evil 7, the horror series' non-remake games have opted for a first-person perspective over the third-person perspective Resident Evil 4 set as the de facto choice in 3D games. Resident Evil Village was made with first-person in mind, though it did get a third-person camera mode post-launch.

Cult filmmaker John Carpenter seems to have been having a moment at Gamescom 2025. Not only does his name grace the title for Toxic Commando, Saber Interactive's fun evolution of the zombie co-op FPS, but his sci-fi horror, The Thing, is also a key influence of the upcoming Directive 8020. Topping it off, it was during the show where the previously announced Halloween, based on the horror classic with Carpenter himself attached as executive producer, had its first trailer it was announced...
The Outer Worlds was widely seen as a decent stab at mapping Obsidian's first-person RPG style onto a new retro-future sci-fi setting, but what really set it apart was its satirical sense of humor. Unlike similar series like Elder Scrolls or Fallout, the spacefaring setting gave it new avenues to mock corporations and governments. For The Outer Worlds 2, Obsidian is doubling down on those qualities with a premise that's more immediately satirical and opens more options to poke at the edges...
