Digital Foundry have managed to get their hands on some work-in-progress footage of a cancelled Shenmue 1 & 2 remake project. Unlike d3t’s Shenmue I & II, this would have been a complete remake of the game with more detailed assets, textures and lighting. Check out the video below to see a comparison of this footage versus Shenmue I & II:
There’s a full article that breaks down what is being shown in the footage and what it does differently to the eventual release of Shenmue I & II. There’s also some speculation as to why these remakes were cancelled in favour of the upscaled HD ports we eventually got. Digital Foundry suggests the remakes were cancelled due to budget restraints and delays.
The upcoming digital re-release of Resonance of Fate for PC and PS4 will offer users a high definition texture pack as a free downloadable content pack.
The tri-Ace JRPG is being re-released on October 18th as Resonance of Fate: 4K/HD Edition. The base game is 16gb in size, but with the high definition textures pack installed, that bumps the game’s footprint up to 83gb.
Resonance of Fate was originally released on Xbox 360 and PS3 back in 2010.
A 4K/HD remaster of tri-Ace JRPG Resonance of Fate is due for release on PS4 and PC via Steam on the 18th of October 2018.
Resonance of Fate originally launched for PS3 and Xbox 360 back in 2010 and received positive reviews for its unique gun-based battle system. Pre-ordering the game on PS4 will give you access to a free theme and avatar while pre-ordering on Steam will give you access to exclusive trading cards. More details can be found on the official website.
On the SEGADriven YouTube channel today is our first look at an After Burner fan game. This game is called Master Burner and it apes the super scaler look of After Burner but replaces the characters for those from the Touhou Project series. Check out our video to see the game in action:
As previously reported, Team Sonic Racing will be on show at Gamescom from the 21st to the 25th of August 2018 and will feature a new Ice Mountain track to play on the show floor. A new trailer for the game has just gone live that features the first footage of the Ice Mountain track, but also goes in depth as to what abilities teams can use in the game. Check it out below:
Team Sonic Racing will release on PC, PS4, Xbox One and Switch this Winter 2018. The game is being developed by Sumo Digital and features new music from Jun Senoue and Crush 40.
Two Point Hospital finally has a release date! The first game from ex-Bullfrog developers Mark Webley and Gary Carr and their new studio Two Point will launch on the 30th of August for PC.
You can visit the store page on Steam by clicking here or you can pre-order the game now and get a 10% discount to bring the price down to £22.49. If that sounds tempting then click here to pre-order.
Two Point Hospital follows the formula of Bullfrog’s own Theme Hospital and is promising to deliver a similar set of laughs and overall absurdity. One of the illnesses you have to cure is one that turns the infected’s head into a light bulb.
There’s also a new trailer to look at, so why not click the embed below?
In one of the most bizarre discoveries of recent memory, it turns out you can greatly improve the enemy AI in the PC version of Aliens: Colonial Marines by fixing a typo.
This can all be done with a quick edit in the PecanEngine.ini file. A modder on Moddb explains the process:
A new update will be coming soon with this change included, however after getting reports back from several players on how much this effects the game, I just had to post it now
Inside your games config file (My Document\My Games\Aliens Colonial Marines\PecanGame\Config\PecanEngine.ini) is the following line of code :
If you fix it to look like the above and then play the game, the difference is pretty crazy!
Why is this line important? There are two reasons :
1) AttachXenoToTeather doesn’t do anything. Its basically empty or stripped
2) AttachPawnToTether does ALOT. It controls tactical position adjustment, patrolling and target zoning
When a Xeno is spawned, it is attached to a zone tether. This zone tells the Xeno what area is its fighting space and where different exits are. In Combat, a Xeno will be forced to switch to a new tether (such as one behind you) so as to flank, or disperse so they aren’t so grouped up etc. (*disclaimer* this is inferred opinion, I cant see the actual code only bits)
Whenever the game tried to do this, nothing happened. Now it does!
So if you fancy a dip back into Aliens: Colonial Marines and own the PC release, you can now play a considerably more challenging version of the game with this quick fix.

E3 is almost upon us, and SEGA fans already have somewhere to look – PCGamer’s PC Gaming Show event, part of the expo that runs June 11th.
The event has stated several companies will be presenting “world premiere” announcements and “enticing reveals” at the show, and amongst the companies listed is SEGA. There’s a wide array of possibilities as to what this could be – we could see something from SEGA Europe’s more strategy-orientated side, or it may be time to fire up the good ol’ porting machine again. Certainly there’s no shortage of requests for SEGA ports to Steam, so it’d be welcome; though likewise I’m sure there’s plenty of strategy fans waiting for the latest from SEGA Europe’s studios. Of course, perhaps it could be something completely different!
The PC Gaming Show is on June 11th at 3pm PT – that’s 11pm UK time.
