Silent Hill 2

Last night, a half-hour presentation for Silent Hill f took place, showcasing the new chapter of the legendary horror series. Unfortunately, the developers did not reveal any gameplay, slightly dampening the overall impression of the broadcast. However, they did share a fresh trailer and numerous intriguing details, allowing us to get a sense of some aspects of the game. Here are the key takeaways.

It seems like once every decade, Resident Evil drastically changes its formula. After the horror-driven installments with fixed cameras, the franchise transitioned into third-person action games. Then, it partially returned to its roots with a first-person perspective. The series is constantly evolving, and it’s entirely possible that the next stage of its evolution is just around the corner. In this article, we’ll explore which mechanics and ideas Capcom could implement in future Resident Evil games to refresh the gameplay. Many of these elements already exist in projects from other studios.

In this article, we've gathered outstanding classic games that are at least twenty years old. The main selection criterion is that, despite their age, they still captivate with their gameplay.

Some particularly successful virtual entertainment titles leave a lasting impression not only on gamers but also on developers. When an excellent game pushes an entire genre forward, it sometimes sets trends for the industry, inspires studios, and becomes a model for imitation. This article will focus on such projects — those that have influenced many modern games.

During one of the first PlayStation 5 presentations, we got our first look at Unreal Engine 5: Epic Games showcased an impressive demo with unprecedented photorealism running on PS5. Later, the technical demo The Matrix Awakens was released, further proving that current-generation consoles can indeed deliver hyper-realistic graphics. The future of Unreal Engine 5 seemed promising. However, when games on the engine finally started coming out, many gamers' enthusiasm quickly faded. Here's why some players are unhappy with Unreal 5.

A compelling story is a priority for many gamers. If the narrative is engaging, a significant number of players are willing to endure dull gameplay, technical issues, or mediocre graphics. However, some games excel in storytelling without requiring any compromises. This article highlights such projects — top-quality games that are outstanding in every aspect, but most notably in their narratives.

The release of the next Resident Evil isn’t happening anytime soon. When it comes to Capcom projects, the company’s games typically launch about a year after their first trailer drops. But in the case of Resident Evil 9, we don’t even have a trailer yet, only official confirmation that the game is in development. That’s it. So, to help make the wait a little more bearable, we’ve put together a list of games that capture the Resident Evil spirit, along with movies and TV shows that share its eerie atmosphere.

Yesterday, Konami boasted about the sales of the Silent Hill 2 remake and thanked gamers for their support. The fact that the publisher is so eager to share these numbers is already an important indicator of how satisfied the Japanese company is with the results. However, a significant number of gamers online have panicked. How come — only 2 million copies? Is the franchise doomed? Their concerns are understandable: in the case of AAA games, such sales figures do not always cover costs. But let’s break it down — should we really worry about the future of Silent Hill?

Last week, Sony announced that it is ceasing production of recordable Blu-ray discs. PlayStation fans immediately grew concerned. Could this really be the end of physical media? No need to panic right now: the announcement specifically concerns recordable media, so it doesn’t affect movies or games on discs. Nevertheless, this trend is still not a positive one. Let’s figure out what to prepare for in future if you enjoy buying physical copies of games.

The announcement of NVIDIA's new RTX 50 series graphics cards at CES 2025 has been met with enthusiasm across the internet. Many social media users were pleased with the advertised features: improved gaming performance with ray tracing enabled, higher clock speeds, and access to the latest and greatest versions of DLSS and frame generation. However, not all gamers, hardware reviewers, and industry experts share the general enthusiasm. Their main argument is that if you strip away all the "crutches" of the new cards, the actual performance increase might not be as significant as expected. And there are concerns about those "crutches" too.

The announcement of a console from one of the market leaders is always an exciting event that sparks heated discussions online. Everyone talks about the device's design, specs, and features. However, gamers primarily purchase gaming platforms not for their looks, screen size, or special buttons, but for the games. Unfortunately, there’s little official information about future titles for the Nintendo Switch 2, and it’s unlikely we’ll learn much before April. So, while we wait, let’s analyze the situation and speculate about what we might play on this highly anticipated hybrid console in the coming years.

Over the past few years, the graphics in games have hardly changed. We have become accustomed to high detail, high-quality textures, and realistic faces of characters.
