Why The Rain In Returnal Feels So Damn Good
13.5.2021
Returnal, a PS5 game based entirely on Vaas’ iconic refrain from Far Cry 3, is an impressive game. But few things are more impressive than its rain, which feels unnervingly real in your hands, a result of the PS5 controller’s advanced haptic feedback. Today, in a post on the PlayStation Blog...

Ethan’s Severed Hand Is More Than A Gory Resident Evil Gag
12.5.2021
We’ve established by now that Resident Evil Village puts protagonist Ethan Winters through a great deal of unpleasantness. But the already-iconic visual of Ethan’s hand being slashed and sliding off isn’t just a good running gag or Capcom at its most masochistic. It’s also a clue to an end-game...

Let's Remember Gran Turismo 5's Intro, Which Was A Masterpiece
12.5.2021
