Alan Wake Remastered Gives New Hope to Long Overdue Sequel

New DVD release, , ,
Developer Remedy Entertainment has confirmed that they’re finally remastering their largely underrated horror masterpiece, Alan Wake. We don’t know much about the simply titled Alan Wake Remastered at this time, but it is currently scheduled to be released in fall 2021 for Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One, PC via the Epic Games Store, PlayStation 4, and PlayStation 5. Believe it or not, this will actually be the first time that Alan Wake will be officially available for PlayStation platforms since the original game’s 2010 release date. While it’s easy enough to look forward to any chance to play Alan Wake…

Marvel’s Spider-Man Remastered Recasts Peter Parker’s Actor

New DVD release, , , , , ,
Insomniac has revealed new details about Marvel’s Spider-Man Remastered, and the biggest news may just be that the extent of the remaster’s visual upgrades required the studio to recast Peter Parker’s actor. “In order to bring the best performances to players with our next-generation Marvel’s Spider-Man games, we have recast the face of Peter Parker,” reads a blog post from Insomniac Games community director, James Stevenson. “We loved working with John Bubniak on the original game; however, to get a better match to Peter Parker/Spider-Man actor Yuri Lowenthal’s facial capture, we have cast Ben Jordan to be the face model…

Marvel’s Spider-Man Remastered: Why Peter Parker’s New Design Is Controversial

New DVD release, , , , , ,
Developer Insomniac Games has recast Peter Parker’s face model in Marvel’s Spider-Man Remastered in an attempt to better utilize the visual upgrades offered by the PS5 and to set the series up for its future on the next-gen console. When Peter Parker appears on the PS5, it’ll be with the face of Ben Jordan and not John Bubniak. As you might expect, the fan reaction to this change has been…interesting so far. In fact, the first thing that most people pointed out is that Peter Parker’s new face actor bears more than a passing resemblance to current big-screen Spider-Man actor,…

Marvel’s Spider-Man: Remastered PS5 Upgrade Options Explained

New DVD release, , , , ,
Excitement quickly turned to confusion when Sony announced that a remastered version of Marvel’s Spider-Man would be released for PS5 as part of the upcoming Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales Ultimate Edition. What should have been a simple cause for celebration was complicated by questions regarding how this remaster would fit into the sometimes confusing world of next-gen upgrade options. See, if you buy the recently confirmed PS4 version of Spider-Man: Miles Morales, you can upgrade to the PS5 version of the game at no extra cost. By that logic, some fans assumed that those who own the PS4 version of…

Crysis Remastered Review: Best Left in the Past

New DVD release, ,
The “But can it run Crysis?” meme may be the game’s longest lasting legacy, but when considering whether Crysis Remastered is worth your time, the better question is, “How well can it run Crysis?’ Even on medium or high settings in good old-fashioned 1080p, the visuals have obviously been improved in this remaster. With sun rays poking through the treetops, the foliage of the fictional Lingshan Islands looks almost real enough to touch. As explosions tear apart enemy huts, shrapnel flies in all directions, as flames shoot up into bright blue tropical skies over crystal clear oceans. It’s all very…

Kingdoms of Amalur: Re-Reckoning Review – Barely Remastered

New DVD release, , , , ,
In Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning, you play as the “Fateless One,” a hero unique in the world for his ability to change the fates of others however he or she sees fit. So it’s ironic that, given the opportunity to do whatever they wanted with this last-gen cult classic from 2012, developer Kaiko and publisher THQ Nordic did so little to improve the experience for the remaster. Honestly, it’s a struggle to even note much of an update to the graphics. Character models are a little bit smoother. Parts of the varied fantasy world look a little bit brighter, but…

Event Horizon: Plans for Remastered Blu-Ray Release Unveiled

New DVD release, , , , ,
It seems a little hard to comprehend now, but Paul W.S. Anderson’s Event Horizon totally flopped back in 1997. The sci-fi horror project just did not find the audience it was looking for, but like many genre films, it went on to became a cult classic. Starring Sam Neill, Laurence Fishburne, Joely Richardson and Jason Isaacs, Event Horizon sends its characters to explore the titular ship, which disappears and then reappears after opening a rift in the space-time continuum. It’s all downhill for them after that, as a nightmare of discovery unfolds at a brisk pace. Of course, it’s set…
