The RE Engine logo.

The RE Engine logo.

Every Resident Evil since 7, Devil May Cry 5, Ghosts’ n Goblins Resurrection, Monster Hunter Rise, Street Fighter 6, Exoprimal, and now Resident Evil Requiem were all created with the RE Engine.

How did Capcom create such a versatile tool? gameinformer.com/2023/07/03/h...

That last part is especially what’s taken hold amongst readers, too. Even with Marathon’s server slam this weekend, I’m seeing so many takes informed seemingly exclusively based on Steam charts with regards to success/failure/quality/etc, and it’s such an extrapolation

Yes, I feel that so much! Like, our industry’s overemphasis on including it so much in reporting is doing the work of these companies for them and giving them stories to point toward

There is value in Steam metrics, yes, but man, why is it SUCH a focus in reporting about games these days (especially for games that were/are also on consoles)

I’ve largely figured out what the menu and HUD means and how it works but I still couldn’t tell you how my health is doing mid-match or what happens when I press down to heal (I think it heals…something??)

According to a new report, Bluepoint Games did pitch a Bloodborne remake to PlayStation, but it was rejected because FromSoftware didn't want it to happen. More here: gameinformer.com/2026/02/27/r...

This is such a poor showing for the same service that gives us Fallout, which looks excellent by all measures

Yes, that's why they're weak to fire – because it cooks them and they become delightfully tasty and then the trainer eats them and the battle is over

That is a fair point! But, if a passage takes too long to parse through, I might just DNF the book!
