Some people have specific tastes when it comes to their field of view in games. Being able to customize this setting from within a menu is always appreciated, but it’s still not something I would expect to see in every major PC release. WhileDishonoreddoes include an FOV slider, it doesn’t go quite far enough. At least that’s the impression I get based on the popularity ofthis Reddit thread, which delves into what it takes to further increase the FOV....

Hopefully, this is more proof of concept than literal vision of what’s to come....

Sometimes I feel alone in my dislike for most of the Wii’s Virtual Console releases. Most titles are ones that I already have multiple versions of, and I feel that many of the titles are a tad bit overpriced. The only titles I’ve never had a problem dropping a bit of change for is the re-released TurgoGrafx-16/PC Engine titles, and recent news about upcoming TG-16 CD titles for Wii’s Virtual Console has me adding points to my account in preparation....

The studio has big fixes incoming forModern Warfare II Getting to play a game’s beta before its release is definitely exciting, but it’s not without its downsides — because said game isn’t out yet, it can come with a whole slew of bugs that still need working out, which can range from minor inconveniences to game-breaking issues.

Out now Re-releases of retro games can be super finicky, especially depending on the platform and who is handling them. Technology that existed back then (think CRT monitors, legacy graphics processors likethe Super FX chip) might not run as smoothly now — a case that’s most evident in the emulation community when folks try to get older projects running on newer hardware. TheMega Man X Legacy Collectionworks great for me on PS4, but apparently on PC it has a few latent issues that need cleaning up....

New English boss fight trailer Are you ready for Platinum Games’ latest action romp? Personally, I can barely contain myself, but thisconstant streamofvideos from Konamicertainly helps. Next up on the plate is the “Desperado Elite” trailer, which showcases some of the more formidable foes in the game’s lineup — specifically, the game’s bosses.

An eldritch blessing You won’t be up against monsters or jump-scares in Colorfiction’sOde to a Moon; instead, you’ll find an unsettling atmosphere and the knowledge that something has gone terribly, horribly awry. There’s probably nothing you can do to set things right, but pack your bags! We’re headed for New England.
