Just wanted to thank the reader who did the F1 Manager 2022 reader review. Resident Evil 4 was a vital milestone in the evolution of modern third person games but the only modern version that we’ve ever found worthwhile is the Oculus Quest VR one, because it’s both significantly removed from the original experience and yet also echoes its sense of being on the cusp of a technical revolution. GC: We haven’t played that particular mod but the game was very much a product of its time and we’re not really sure if its appeal will be fully apparent now, especially not if that mod enables walking and shooting at the same time (if it does, turn it off). More importantly, as you, and I suspect any number of readers, are authorities on the game, any tips for a first time playthrough? What guns to get and upgrade, that sort of thing? Has GC had the chance to play this in light of the standard HD versions apparent graphical shortcomings? If the upcoming remake drops the ball somehow this could be the next best thing. Thing is, as I’m coming to the game fresh, I’m not intimately familiar with the 2011 console/PC re-releases graphics, and so the enhanced textures, lighting, and visual effects the mod promises are probably a bit lost on me (unless I do another playthrough with the enhancements turned off). I remember GC lamenting the lazy effort to update the graphics for the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 and more recently the Switch versions, so I’ve installed the Resident Evil 4 HD project 1.1 mod.

I’ve finally got round to starting Resident Evil 4 for the first time on PC. Not a bad way to the end the gaming year at all really. A couple of outliers if I have the time are SIGNALIS and Scorn. Then to finish the year off I think it’ll be High On Life. A day one purchase for me, which I can’t wait to get wrapped up in. Then it’s the big one: God Of War Ragnarök. Looks a lot of fun and a first party Microsoft exclusive this year is nothing to be sniffed at.Īfter that I think it’ll be A Plague Tale: Requiem, as I very much enjoyed the first game. So I think I will instead play Grounded 1.0, which releases today and is the full single-player game. Sounds like it’s got some design decisions that take it from satisfyingly hard – that’s what she said – to just annoying. I had planned to then play Moonscars, a 2D Soulslike, but having read a few reviews today have decided not to. I’m currently playing Beacon Pines, which is a charming narrative game that I’m invested in enough to want to see what’s up. Just wondering what new releases everyone else has lined up to play for the rest of the year. So while going third party is usually thrown around as an insult I actually think it could be part of a very successful future for PlayStation. If I could have only one, I’d get a streaming PlayStation+ long before Game Pass, simply because Sony has all the best games.
