Feature: VideoGamer.com Plays, 30th November 2014

The one where everyone was on holiday or ill.




This week I finally got around to playing Resident Evil Remake HD Remaster: the Essential Collection. No surprises with the game's structure – it's still brilliant – but I was impressed with Capcom's efforts to enhance the aesthetics. Rather than just cashing in, the publisher has actually done a very good job of bumping the resolution and cleaning it up in other areas without ruining the original feel.

Where did the year go?

News: Xbox Japan boss steps down

What next for Xbox which has never gained a foothold in Japan.




Takahasi Minami, who joined Microsoft in July having spent 25 years with Sony, will take over as the head of Xbox Japan.



Minami faces a mammoth task if he is to turn around Xbox fortunes in Japan. The Xbox One launched in September with lacklustre sales of 23,562 units. Since then this figure has risen to only 38,461 units.



So poor has the system sold that it's actually tracking behind the original Xbox and the Xbox 360. Most recent sales reveal the console sold only 776 units during one week, compared to 12,400 PS4s and 9,600 Wii Us.

Essential remaster, or cheap cash-in? Steve finds out.




At its core, this is the same Resi that launched on GameCube 12 years ago: there don't appear to be any no new weapons or items, characters or side modes (although you can now play through the game in Chris and Jill's Resi 5 outfits). Barry's eyes are still too close together, Wesker still isn't voiced by DC Douglas. If you fondly remember crashing around in the Spencer Mansion on a console that for some reason had a fucking carrying handle, then you'll be right, er, at home.

Much of the hype surrounding the new-gen upgrades has been around the visuals. Most of the roster in the game has been face-captured, and it certainly pays off. Stars like Ryback, John Cena, Daniel Bryan and Triple H look eerily like their real-world counterparts. However, the face-capped wrestlers only help to emphasise how bad the non-captured personalities look, with WWE boss McMahon looking like Morph with Tony Hart’s hair, and Shawn Michaels inexplicably sporting purple chest hair.

Feature: Why Pagan Min's continued absence is key to Far Cry 4's narrative success

As a large part of Ubisoft's marketing campaign, some have moaned that the flamboyant antagonist isn't in Far Cry 4 as much as he should be. Steve argues that his absence is integral, not detrimental.




The week of Far Cry 4's release saw some interesting reactions to Pagan Min's presence in the game. Or, more precisely, the supposed lack of it. Howls of derision filled certain message boards, complaining that he didn't have as much screentime as befits a man who so confidently appears on both the boxart and in the main marketing campaign. Surely he should have shown up more, strutting around in that pink suit and troll hair, stabbing people in the throat, demanding more of your careful attention, like a Kyrati Beat Takeshi in Battle Royale.



This is, of course, utter nonsense....
