The company demoed these new capabilities during an early preview of Marvel 1943: Rise of Hydra, and it’s really quite impressive. The demo shows…

It's been almost three years since we found out that former Naughty Dog and Visceral Games writer and creative director Amy Hennig was working on a Marvel game with her team at Skydance New Media. During Epic Games' State of Unreal showcase at the Game Developers Conference, a new story trailer shed some more light on the game, which is called Marvel 1943: Rise of Hydra.As the name suggests, it's set during World War II in Occupied Paris. You'll play as four characters in this story-driven action-adventure: a young Steve…

Even though Silent Hill is coming back in a big way, many still wonder what could have been with P.T., which Konami pulled the plug on. While we’ll likely never see a Kojima/del Toro horror collaboration set in the titular foggy town, fans will never stop dreaming. In a video uploaded to YouTube (as spotted by DSO Gaming), user Maxim Dorokhov has offered their own interpretation of Silent Hill 4: The Room. That is to say, they’ve recreated the 2004 game entirely in Unreal Engine 5.…

The Callisto Protocol developer Striking Distance Studios has opened up some new positions for an upcoming project that’s being built in Unreal Engine 5. It seems the studio is on the hunt for additional talent, just months after last August’s layoffs.

Those who were around when the original Deus Ex released will no doubt have an appreciation for this pretty innovative RPG. While we’re still not 100% sure whether a new game is in development or not, there’s something interesting happening with the OG. As spotted by PCGamer, a modder is taking the 2000 Deus Ex title and putting it through an Unreal Engine 5 filter. That is to say, the quarter of a century old game is being given a bit of a boost, and it’s all possible thanks to a toolkit called DXU24.…

The Google antitrust lawsuit, based on filings by Fortnite publisher Epic Games has completed nine days, and in this time we have seen some big revelations being made. Google CEO Sundar Pichai revealed that the company pays Apple up to 18 billion dollars a year for the default iPhone search position, and Google's partnerships boss Don Harrison said that Spotify pays zero percent when users decide to use Spotify's payment system, and between 6 to 10 percent when it is made through Google's channels. On day nine, Epic CEO…

While the original Alone in the Dark arguably set the scene for modern survival horror, Resident Evil is the one most think of when it comes to the genre. Capcom’s legendary series has endured and while official remakes have been hitting the ground running, fan projects have also been attempting to leave their mark. Team Arklay has recently uploaded a trailer for its unofficial remake of the first Resident Evil entry. Simply called Biohazard RE1, the upcoming game is being made in Unreal Engine 5, and from what we can…

Having just passed its 12th birthday, Skyrim continues to take up real estate in the AAA gaming sphere. As one of the most successful RPGs in recent memory, Bethesda’s epic Elder Scrolls game is still quite pretty, but has evidently aged over the past decade or so. That’s where artist and YouTuber Leo Torres coming into the picture. As spotted by DSO Gaming, Torres has recently uploaded a new video showing what Skyrim would look like were it built today in Unreal Engine 5. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gpekak8QQpM…

When looking at the state of PC releases in 2023, it’s easy to start pointing fingers. The game isn’t optimized (whatever that means), or the publisher rushed it out too quickly, or the graphics cards Nvidia has been selling us come with too little VRAM. But these accusations, in most cases, are half-baked and presumptuous, and although they hint at reality, they don’t tell the full story. I wanted to know what was actually going on, so I sat down with a few developers to understand the state of PC games and why…
