Poll Should Resident Evil Remain First-Person for Now?
The million dollar question
For many ardent fans, Resident Evil 7: Biohazard's switch to first-person proved a bigger fright than the game itself – but as reviews proved this week, the change works better than it has any right to. Even those that enjoyed Resident Evil 6 would struggle to argue against the staleness that Capcom's flagship franchise...
Guide Which Difficulty Should You Play Resident Evil 7 On?
Madhouse
There are three different difficulty settings for you to choose from in Resident Evil 7, but which one should you pick? Unlike in most games, the options do more than tweak health settings, so we figured that we'd break down all of the differences for you so that you can choose which one is for you. We should stress straight away that...
News Resident Evil 7's First DLC Launches Next Week on PS4
Cut content?
Hmmm. While we're champing at the bit for more of the excellent Resident Evil 7, we're not sure how we feel about the first pack being released so early. Nevertheless, Banned Footage Vol. 1 – which is available as part of the game's Season Pass or on its own for $9.99 – will deploy next week (31st January) on the PlayStation Store,...
Guide Four Resident Evil 7 Tips Which May Save Your Ass
Baker foil
Resident Evil 7 is a ruthless game. The antagonistic Bakers ain't messing about, and they will take you down.

News Resident Evil 7 Sharpens Up the Scares on PS4 Pro
Sony's new hardware leveraged to great effect
Resident Evil 7 is a stunning game. Running at a near locked 60 frames-per-second, the release has some ridiculously good lighting, which makes its Louisiana setting sing on the PlayStation 4. But the title's also making use of the PS4 Pro in some pretty positive ways, as this comparison between the two...
Feature Is Resident Evil 7 Any Good with PlayStation VR?
Back to the Kitchen
Resident Evil 7 is something of a rarity: it's a major PlayStation 4 title which can be played in virtual reality from start-to-finish using PlayStation VR. There are very few cut corners here – aside from the pre-rendered cut-scenes which annoyingly play in Cinematic Mode – and Capcom deserves credit for that; at a time when...

Review Resident Evil 7: Biohazard (PS4)
Bayou hazard
Ever since BSAA beefcake Chris Redfield exacted grievous bodily harm on a boulder, the Resident Evil franchise has been on a bit of a downward spiral. Sure, the Revelations side-stories delivered disposable enough entertainment, but numbered entry Resident Evil 6 was a rotter through and through. Resident Evil 7: Biohazard aims to drag...
Video Should You Buy Resident Evil 7 on PS4?
The great bloody Baker off
Resident Evil 7 starts strong and then flunks the home straight a little bit, but it's still the best Biohazard in a long time. If you're looking for a video review to go along with our written report, then you'll find exactly that above. In addition to commentary on the game itself, this clip includes tons of spoiler-free...
News Resident Evil 7 Custom PS4 Controller Has Dummy Fingers for Triggers
You are dead
Vulpe Andrei is a dab hand at console and controller mods, having been behind some of our favourites in the past. But this custom Resident Evil 7 DualShock 4 is a cut above his usual work; the attention to detail is insane. While the pad's ugly by design, we absolutely love some of the touches, like the use of dummy fingers for the...

Feature 5 Crucial Resident Evil 7 Questions Answered
'Cos Capcom ain't sayin' much
Resident Evil 7 releases in less than a week, but questions are still circling Capcom's latest like a bad smell. Can you play the game without PlayStation VR? Is there a co-op mode? Are there even zombies in the game? Rather than leave you clawing for answers in the cemetery of dead hyperlinks that is Google, we figured...

Sick burn
Capcom's finally kicked Resident Evil 7's marketing machine into life, with this officially licensed "4D" candle designed to bring you closer to the game.

News Devil May Cry and Dragon's Dogma Director Says He's Making a New Game in 2017
Be still our beating hearts
Right, let's start 2017 off with some red hot hype peddling, shall we? Hideaki Itsuno, one of Capcom's most distinguished game directors, has tweeted that he'll be announcing a new title at some point this year. That's pretty exciting news in itself, but the hype rockets when you realise that Itsuno is best known for his...
Soapbox Street Fighter V Is the Best Worst PS4 Game of 2016
Sammy's losing faith in Capcom's fighter
I love Street Fighter V, but it doesn't love me. That's a bit of a cliché, I suppose – but I'm struggling to dream up a better sentence that best describes my relationship with Capcom's brawler. Here is a game that's both breathtakingly brilliant and mindbogglingly awful all at the same time; the Japanese...

News Capcom Reckons Resident Evil 7 Can Chew Through 4 Million Copies on Day One
Not dead yet
Earlier this year, Capcom stated that it expected to sell 4 million copies of Resident Evil 7 over its first couple of months on the market.

Demo update hitting tonight
One of the trailers debuted in Sony's blink-and-you'll-miss-it Playstation Experience conference today was for upcoming PlayStation 4 survival horror Resident Evil 7.

News Street Fighter V's Festive Holiday Costumes Are Not Made for Cold Weather
Brrr
Capcom's released the above trailer for Street Fighter V's upcoming downloadable content pack, and, well, the only thing that we've really taken away from it is that it includes a lot of skimpy Christmas costumes. Oh, and it's got an amazingly cheesy rendition of Jingle Bells playing over it. Apparently, we're getting a release date for all of...
News Resident Evil 7 PS4 Gameplay Reveals a Different Direction
Revived?
Resident Evil has been a little lost for a while now. While there have been decent entries like Resident Evil Revelations 2, the main series has been on a sharp decline since Resident Evil 5.

News Capcom to Remain Committed to PS4 Exclusive Street Fighter V Until 2020
Shoryuken handle it?
By all accounts it's sold disastrously, but Capcom isn't giving up on Street Fighter V anytime soon.

And speaking with Famitsu magazine, producer...
News Street Fighter V's New Stage Takes Off Today
Plane and simple
Capcom's continuing to plug away at Street Fighter V, despite the fighter failing to significantly grow its player base since launch.

Review Dead Rising Triple Pack (PS4)
They live again
With Dead Rising 4 mere months away – though not for PlayStation gamers – the time is right for an opportunistic re-release of some of the earlier games. Acting as a prefect primer for the series, this re-release triple pack includes Dead Rising, Dead Rising 2, and Dead Rising 2: Off the Record, and if you don't fancy shelling...
Video Does Dead Rising's PS4 Debut Delight?
He's covered wars, y'know
In the very early days of the PlayStation 3, there were plenty of people clamouring for Dead Rising to release on the system.

Capcom pledges full support for Sony's new platform
This author has already decided to play through the entirety of Resident Evil 7 in PlayStation VR, so given it's one of the fuzzier titles we've experienced in virtual reality thus far, it's good to hear that Capcom will be supporting the PlayStation 4 Pro at launch. Thus far it's not sharing...
A masterpiece revisited
"1998... I'll never forget it." Well, more like 2005 in regards to when this game first released, but you get where we're going with it.

Gamescom 2016 Resident Evil 7 Really Is Going Full Survival Horror
Scared?
This is tense, isn't it? Capcom's released a new Resident Evil 7 trailer to coincide with Gamescom 2016, and it really ratchets up the tension.

News Street Fighter V PS4 Finally Gets Features That Should Have Been There at Launch
Play against the computer at last
Street Fighter V: the best game ever made that doesn't want you to play it.
