Resident Evil Veronica Can Only Be Played in Third-Person

Alex Co — Wed, 10 Jun 2026 20:39:08 +0000

Having trouble viewing the text? You can always read the original article here: Resident Evil Veronica Can Only Be Played in Third-Person

If you saw the teaser for Resident Evil Veronica earlier this month, you might be wondering whether the game is following Resident Evil Requiem’s footsteps in that it can be played in first or third-person.

We’re here to squash those hopes, as Capcom has confirmed the game is set entirely in third-person, which isn’t surprising given the original game is in third-person too.

Resident Evil Veronica Handled by Dev Tean Who Crafted RE2 and RE4 Remakes

In a Q&A conducted by Capcom after the reveal (via IGN), the remake’s producer Yoshiaki Hirabayashi said, “this game will be a third-person game,” squashing any hope for those thinking it might offer a first-person viewpoint.

Hirabayashi also confirmed that RE Veronica is being developed by the same dev team that produced the RE2 and RE4 remakes, stating, “However, the team behind this remake is the same team that handled the Resident Evil 2 and Resident Evil 4 remakes…So if you looked at the past remakes that this team has created, you can probably sense a certain mindset that we have when we make a game, and that mindset includes preserving those iconic and key aspects of the title. So again, if you look at our work, you can probably get kind of a good sense of what kind of approach we’re taking here, and maybe you can imagine what that might look like for this remake.”

As someone who prefers playing Resident Evil in third-person, I understand why Capcom wouldn’t want to add a first-person view to every Resident Evil game. Sure, it worked in Resident Evil 7 and RE8, but that doesn’t mean the developers have to implement it in every Resident Evil game — especially one that’s a remake.

After Veronica, the next remake won’t be Resident Evil 5 it seems, as our digging from eight months ago confirms a Resident Evil 0 remake is in development, and we have the first details about it.

Halo: Campaign Evolved Can Be Played From Start to Finish in Third-Person

In just a month and a half, Master Chief will assault the Covenant once more with the release of Halo: Campaign Evolved. More than just a remaster, this re-release of the Chief’s first adventure brings new visuals, new cinematics, expanded combat and more.

For those who have already played the game before, or those who get dizzy playing first-person shooters, Halo Studios has something new for you, and that’s playing the game in third-person.

It’s not just snippets of it, as the entire game can be played in this perspective.

Check it out in action in the latest gameplay trailer for the shooter.

Halo: Campaign Evolved Third-Person Might Be the New Preferred Way to Play

The description reads, “A first look at 3rd Person gameplay from the Halo: Campaign Evolved mission, The Silent Cartographer, on a pre-release build. Enabled with the all-new “Perspective” Skull, this third-person camera angle allows players to experience iconic Halo missions like never before.”

I don’t know about you, but I might just jump in via third-person for this one.

Halo: Campaign Evolved is set for release on July 28 on PS5, Xbox Series X|S and PC. The FPS title can be played solo or up to four-player online co-op with full crossplay and cross-progression support.

In related Xbox news, the division’s CEO has commented on console exclusivity, and it’s pretty apparent what they want to accomplish.

Xbox CEO: We Are the #2 Publisher in the World; Aims to Do More Console Exclusives Once Business Is Healthy

Alex Co — Wed, 10 Jun 2026 17:45:36 +0000

Having trouble viewing the text? You can always read the original article here: Xbox CEO: We Are the #2 Publisher in the World; Aims to Do More Console Exclusives Once Business Is Healthy

With news that Gears of War: E-Day is now an Xbox console exclusive and most of the other titles are still set to drop on PS5, some might be wondering what direction Microsoft plans to steer this ship.

It seems we have that answer today, as Xbox CEO Asha Sharma recently commented on console exclusivity and the game business.

PlayStation fans can rest easy for now, since it sounds like Xbox won’t automatically make all their upcoming games exclusive to the platform, though that can change quickly.

More Xbox Console Exclusivity Titles Planned, But Not Right Away

Speaking in a video interview with Fortune, Xbox division CEO Asha Sharma talked about console exclusivity, though they want their games to be “everywhere.”

The CEO said, “I think that we are the number two publisher in the world, and when you do that you want your games to be everywhere..You’re stronger when the world plays with you. At the same time, we’re increasingly becoming more of a platform, and it’s hard to find examples of platforms out there that don’t have exclusive services and content. And so this is a journey for us. Our business isn’t particularly healthy as you noted, and so we’re starting by introducing one to two signature exclusives and, as the business is healthy, we will look to try and do more”

Can’t it be plainer than that, no? Sharma just confirmed that they are pushing for more Xbox console exclusives, and they can’t do that now given the state of their business isn’t really at a healthy state — what with the Xbox Series X|S trailing the PS5 by a very, very wide margin.

In related news, Xbox VP Aaron Greenberg is on the hot seat, as he mentioned that the pullout of Gears of War: E-Day on PS5 was not a last-minute decision, though a recent trailer seems to contradict that.

Blizzard has released Diablo IV update 1.111 on consoles and PC, and this brings the game to build version 3.0.4. While we already received a significant patch two weeks ago that addressed base game and DLC issues, there are still a lot more bugs that need to be squashed.

Expect progression blocker bugs to be fixed, as well as portal-related issues and a more.

For the complete list of changes and fixes made, read on for the official patch notes.

Diablo 4 Updated on June 10 for Gameplay Fixes

Fixed an issue where socketed Runes or Gems would be lost when Recycling a Unique Item with the Horadric Cube.

There are still a significant number of bugs in the game even after all these patches, and the most recent ones complained about by the community include:

Valve Confirms End of Physical Steam Gift Cards

Taha — Wed, 10 Jun 2026 16:51:50 +0000

Having trouble viewing the text? You can always read the original article here: Valve Confirms End of Physical Steam Gift Cards

If you enjoy buying physical Steam Gift Cards, whether for yourself or as a gift for a friend, there’s some disappointing news.

Valve has officially confirmed that it is ending the sale of physical Steam Gift Cards.

The announcement was made through an update to the page that provides information about buying and redeeming the prepaid cards.

Valve Ends Physical Steam Gift Cards as Scammers Remain a Problem

The company says the decision was made because scammers kept finding new ways to misuse the cards. Valve introduced several measures to try to reduce the problem, but those efforts were not enough to stop it completely.

They said, “We’ve responded to gift card scams over the years by taking a number of actions to protect customers. As we have continued to put more and more restrictions in place, scammers have adapted. They continue to have an impact on Steam customers and other unsuspecting individuals. So we’ve made the difficult decision to end the Steam Gift Card program at retail stores.”

As a result, the company has decided to stop supplying physical Steam Gift Cards to retailers. “As Steam Gift Cards run out of stock at retail locations, we will not be restocking them. We expect all retailers to be out of stock by the end of 2026,” they added.

For those who already have gift cards and are worried, there’s no need to panic. Valve has confirmed that existing gift cards will continue to work, so you can still redeem them on Steam whenever you want

In other news, Steam is preparing a feature that would add a native 30-day price history tool directly to game store pages to improve discount transparency. Another feature reportedly in development is an estimated FPS display that would show how well a game is expected to run on a user’s PC.

Death Stranding 2 Update 1.015 Drops on June 10

Having trouble viewing the text? You can always read the original article here: Death Stranding 2 Update 1.015 Drops on June 10

While we’re not expecting Kojima Productions to release new content for Death Stranding 2: On the Beach without fanfare, that doesn’t mean we won’t be getting title updates for the game.

The developers have released Death Stranding 2 update 1.015 today, June 10, and this is another unannounced patch.

Given there is no announcement regarding the update, don’t expect much from it.

Death Stranding 2 Updated to Version 1.015 on PS5

As expected, Kojima Productions or PlayStation’s XDev have not commented on the update. Three months ago, we received new content for the game, and the studio hasn’t commented on the updates after it.

The PC version of the game received a patch last week, which included the following fixes:

Fixed a bug where VSync would not restore correctly after enabling or disabling frame generation.
Addressed an issue where VSync could remain enabled when turning on DLSS Frame Generation.
Improved distant terrain texture quality when using high or very high texture settings.
Added support for displaying PlayStation friends and PlayStation user avatars when signed in to your PlayStation account.
Updated Intel XeSS Frame Generation to the latest version, including bug fixes and support for Multi Frame Generation and XeLL on supported Intel GPUs.
Fixed a rare progression bug that could prevent the next Main Order from advancing after saving and loading in Magellan’s private room.
Resolved an issue where players could sometimes be unable to place or remove map markers when playing below 30 FPS.
Added support for C/GL/GR button icons for Nintendo Switch 2 Pro Controller.
Various improvements and bug fixes related to the user interface.
Various minor bug fixes related to localization.

We’re not expecting the same slate of fixes to be applied to the PS5 version, as we think it most likely just sorts out stability and other non-player-facing issues.

If we find any specific fix, we’ll update the article.

Dying Light 2 The Breach Update Adds Two Kinds of UGC via Patch 1.92/1.092

Alex Co — Wed, 10 Jun 2026 14:33:47 +0000

Having trouble viewing the text? You can always read the original article here: Dying Light 2 The Breach Update Adds Two Kinds of UGC via Patch 1.92/1.092

Want something new in Dying Light 2: Stay Human? If so, Techland has you covered. The developers have released The Breach update for the zombie game, which is for developer version 1.28.

For console gamers, you’ll see this download as Dying Light 2 update 1.92/1.092, and this should be a hefty download.

Players can expect two kinds of UGC (user-generated content) in the form of featured maps in close collaboration between Techland devs and selected creators, and standout mods chosen “for their bold ideas and fresh takes on the Dying Light formula.”

Dying Light 2 Major Update Expands UGC Starting on June 10

Patch 1.28 launches the program with its first chapter, Survival Archives. Fan-favorite characters Tolga and Fatin have torn the fabric of the universe, unleashing hand-picked maps that range from co-developed scenarios polished alongside our studio to raw community submissions that take the world in unexpected directions. Expect a variety of new gameplay options, including third-person traversal, low-gravity parkour, hardcore survival pockets, and experimental modifiers that twist the core formula in ways the main game never could.

The Breach also gives players plenty of reasons to keep coming back. Players earn XP in both the main game and in new maps and modes, so progression carries over wherever you play. Each chapter also brings new weapons and gear to chase.

Patch 1.28 also delivers significant improvements to the core game. From day one, our goal has been to make Dying Light 2: Stay Human feel as smooth and gripping as possible. We have rebuilt the opening hours to smooth onboarding for new players, rebalanced the early game – encounters difficulty and early loot accessibility – to get players into the core experience faster.

We also updated the game’s visuals, including environment elements, cutscene lighting, and overall color balance, to improve immersion and bring the tone closer to the broader Dying Light universe. Alongside that, we resolved a wide range of community-reported issues.

The Breach is built on three pillars:

Curated by Techland. Every chapter is reviewed, selected, and shipped with our studio’s stamp.
Powered by fans. Selected creators work directly with our developers, and the wider community shapes the content pool.
Always something new. Themed worlds drop on a rolling schedule with new rewards in every chapter.

There’s a lot to take in, so read the developer blog about it.

Techland isn’t done updating the game, as the studio claims this is ” just the first step,” and opens the door for more UGC content.

The devs have more ideas they want to explore in the future, and even released a roadmap for what’s planned until July.

After using the HD-2D style in games like Dragon Quest and Octopath Traveler, Square Enix has finally decided to bring it to the Final Fantasy series.

During the latest Nintendo Direct event, the company has announced Final Fantasy Resonance, which will launch on October 22 for Nintendo Switch 2, Switch, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, and PC.

The game is based on the first story arc of the mobile game Final Fantasy Brave Exvius.

Final Fantasy Resonance Announced as the First Final Fantasy With HD-2D Style

As mentioned earlier, the game was shown during the Nintendo Direct as the first Final Fantasy with HD-2D style, the same visual style used in Octopath Traveler and many other Square Enix games. This style mixes 3D backgrounds with 2D characters.

Final Fantasy Resonance will also include some characters from the series, such as Cloud, Tidus, and Warrior of Light, all presented in stunning, retro-inspired HD-2D graphics that push the limits of pixel art.

“Return to the pixel‑art world of FINAL FANTASY, evolved from its classic roots. Travel with companions bound by fate and call on Visions, echoes of beloved FINAL FANTASY characters, to aid you in battle to uncover the truth behind a force that threatens to bring everything to ruin,” the official game description reads.

It’s worth noting that preorders for the game are now available. A Digital Deluxe Edition will be available as well, including the base game and useful in-game items. There will also be a Collector’s Edition, which includes the base game and four special physical items, such as an artbook, a soundtrack, and a unique Trading Card Game promotional card.

Black Ops Cold War Update on June 9 Mysteriously Released as Version 1.041/1.42

Alex Co — Tue, 09 Jun 2026 20:55:13 +0000

Having trouble viewing the text? You can always read the original article here: Black Ops Cold War Update on June 9 Mysteriously Released as Version 1.041/1.42

Activision has silently pushed out a new Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War update on June 9, and this is available on consoles and PC.

Console gamers will see this as Black Ops Cold War update 1.041/1.42, and this shouldn’t bring any new content.

The file download clocks in at & GB on both PS5 and 3 GB PC, and it seems this patch has caused issues more than anything else.

Black Ops Cold War Receives Update on June 9

Understandably, Activision has not said anything about today’s file download. However, those in the community who have installed it have said that this patch made the experience worse.

One Reddit user noted, “I had an 7.322 gb update on ps5 pro and now it runs like ass. It’s very laggy with sound clipping like static. Is there anyone else with this issue? I’ve only had 2 hctdm matches Moscow (was really bad) and Satellite. I can even hear the static in the lobby rn just sitting on the multiplayer menu. Tf

The only thing I really noticed is connection meter works in the lobby now before the update it remained at zero.”

Another player mentioned how they are now seeing server latency in the game menu, since it wasn’t present pre-patch.

For those interested, the PC Steam version’s patch changes can be seen here, but this is gibberish for most of us. While nothing has been said by Activision, chances are, this patch is for security fixes and possibly adding a banner or two for Modern Warfare 4 since it’s releasing later this year.

If you spot any changes or fixes made, leave a comment and let us know.

Speaking of Black Ops, the first game in the franchise, as well as its sequel, have been uploaded to the PSN Store backend, which means a release is close to being announced.

For those looking forward to Modern Warfare 4, the devs have said that there won’t be any cartoon or celebrity skins in the game, and players can “keep the receipts” that they said that.

Gears of War: E-Day Pulled From PS5 Last-Minute Rumors Are “Untrue” Claims Xbox VP; But Yanked Trailer Says Otherwise

Alex Co — Tue, 09 Jun 2026 17:13:08 +0000

Having trouble viewing the text? You can always read the original article here: Gears of War: E-Day Pulled From PS5 Last-Minute Rumors Are “Untrue” Claims Xbox VP; But Yanked Trailer Says Otherwise

It’s been one heck of a weekend for both PlayStation and Xbox fans when it comes to game exclusivity.

While initial reports surfaced that Gears of War: E-Day would be released on the PS5, Microsoft’s XBOX division surprised everyone by confirming that Gears of War: E-Day will be a console exclusive to the Xbox Series X|S. Not only that, but XBOX further hammered the point home by confirming that this isn’t timed exclusivity either, as they have no plans to port it to the PS5.

What’s interesting here is that it’s been mentioned that E-Day being pulled from PS5 was a last-minute decision, and this is something Microsoft has denied, but people aren’t convinced that it was.

Gears of War: E-Day Trailer Featured a PS5 Logo Until It Didn’t

On gaming forum ResetEra, sleuths there discovered that in a post-reveal podcast for E-Day, Microsoft ran the gameplay video that was shown at the XBOX Games Showcase, but it seems someone forgot the memo that it was a console exclusive, as the trailer aired had the PS5 logo (it was shown at the 25:33 mark).

Microsoft has since made the video private, though not before people managed to screenshot it:

Here’s where it gets a bit more interesting. Over on X (formerly Twitter), Aaron Greenberg, VP of Games Marketing at XBOX, replied to a tweet claiming that Microsoft changed E-Day to be an Xbox exclusive at the last minute and said, “Hey Tom, I can confirm this is not true. We just limited the knowledge of this news to a very small internal group. Intention was to share this news first with our players and everyone watching showcase.”

When asked “what’s not true,” Greenberg doubled down stating, “It is not true that it was a last minute decision,” and when pressed on when the decision to make it a console exclusive was made, Greenberg answered, “A lot has changed since Asha came into role 107 days ago. We are moving fast and it’s frankly pretty energizing inside the hallways here. I was made aware of these exclusives roughly a month in advance. Hope that helps!”

Needless to say, people are not convinced. One person pointed out how Greenberg said they knew it a month in advance, yet no one removed the PS5 logo in the video.

Another person reminded everyone that Greenberg commented about console exclusivity on Starfield and how the RPG is now available on PS5.

Of course, it’s not just Greenberg who gets to decide on these things, so it’s understandable how things change. That said, based on the trailer that had the PS5 logo, it doesn’t seem like Gears of War: E-Day being pulled from PS5 was really a last-minute thing. Then again, what do I know, right?

While Gears of War: E-Day won’t be making its way to PS5 anytime soon, a lot of other Xbox-published games like Halo: Campaign Evolved, Senua, Fable and more are, and we’re left wondering which game next will be made available on multiple consoles in the future.

Do you think Gears of War: E-Day’s console exclusivity was something Microsoft and the XBOX division planned at the last minute or not? Sound off in the comments.

Gears of War: E-Day will be released on the Xbox Series X|S and PC on October 6.
