Resident Evil 2 is to be Remade Not Remastered

Capcom stated that Resident Evil 2 is going to be a “from the ground up remake,” not a remaster. This is some pretty exciting news considering all of the remastered video games that come out regularly.

Capcom’s investor report stated RE2 would be remastered, but Stuart Turner, Capcom UK’s senior marketing director, said it was a “mistranslation.”

Capcom originally confirmed the remake is August. Considering that I have only played a little bit of Resident Evil 2, this is pretty exciting knowing that I can experience the entire game in a remastered format.

The breakout hit video game of 2015 was recently rated on the Taiwanese Game Software Rating Regulations board. This leads to speculation that an announcement could be coming soon.

Rocket League is currently available on PS4 and PC with cross-play functionality between both platforms. If Psyonix is able to break down the console barriers even further and have cross-play between all 3 platforms, this could be the start of a wonderful thing. There is no word on when this will happen, but I will keep you updated.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutants in Manhattan has been listed on the Australian classification board. The best part is it’s being developed by Platinum games. The same company that brought us the Bayonetta series, Transformers Devastation, and the upcoming Star Fox Zero.

The game has also been rated in Brazil recently and says “not recommended for children under ten years,” so it will more than likely be rated T for teen.

TMNT: Mutants in Manhattan will be published by Activision  and will be appearing on PS3, PC, Xbox 360, PS4, and XB1.

The first Overwatch, invite only,  beta test weekend starts this Friday. It will run from Friday, November 20th through Monday, November 23. Blizzard will be letting in “a lot” more players from the American and European regions.

Accounts will be flagged this Thursday, November 19th, during a scheduled maintenance. If you get flagged, it would be wise to go ahead and install the game so when the servers go live on Friday, you can just jump in.

Check out the Overwatch Blog for more details.

Looks Like The Star Fox Zero Delay is Paying Off

Originally coming out this Fall/Winter, Nintendo decided to delay Star Fox Zero to further polish the game.

Back in September, Shigeru Miyamoto posted on Faceboook that development was going well, but “we want players to experience in the game by using two screens, and further polishing the level designs and perfecting the tone of the cut scenes.”

The Japanese website recently posted a couple of videos and they look fantastic. The visuals look a lot better compared to what we saw from E3 this year. I’m definitely more excited to play this game now. Check out the videos below.
