October’s Official Xbox Magazine suggests that a full fledged Fable title will be hitting shelves by 2013, don’t confuse this with the other Kinect only Fable: The Journey.
The next OXM’s cover is above (click to enlarge) focusing highly on Halo’s 10 years. OXM also states that GearBox is working on a Duke Nukem Reboot “with the long-discussed Duke Begins, but not until Aliens: Colonial Marines is done”, The game will disappointingly run “at 30fps but with graphics that put id’s own Rage to shame” Well we’ll have to see if GearBox fulfills it’s claims.
Loinhead studios is currently working on the Kinect only Fable: The Journey so Fable 4 will probably their next worked on title. GearBox as aforementioned is working on Aliens: Colonial Marines.
Resident Evil 4 and Resident Evil: Code Veronica are getting a release on PS3 and Xbox 360. They will be fully HD remastered along with support for Trophies and Achievement Points. These new videos show us these remastered games in action for the first time.
Resident Evil 4 was one of the most critically acclaimed Resident Evil game of all time. It is one of my personal favorite and i have got a lot of fond memories with this game. This version will come with all the extras of the PS2 version which means we will also get Separate Ways, a side-chapter which dealt with the story of Ada Wong.
Since i personally played the PS2 version and never tried the Gamecube/Wii version, this gameplay video of Resident Evil 4 does appear to be a lot better and cleaner then its PS2 counterpart. The graphics appear to be better, frame rate appears much more smoother, as the PS2 version had slight hiccups on heavy scenes like shooting a exploding barrel and during some of the boss fights. The textures definitely look much better then the PC and PS2 version. You can see the gameplay video below. Make sure to view it in HD to see it in full glory.
Resident Evil Code Veronica was a Dreamcast exclusive Resident Evil game until it was later ported to PS2 under the title Resident Evil: Code Veronica X. I have personally played it on PS2 and i always heard that the Dreamcast version was the superior one with better graphics as compared to PS2. It is one of the many old-school style Resident Evil game which still retains the tank controls(Press up to go up, left and right to turn).
Based on the brief gameplay shown in this trailer. I can clearly see improvements compared to the PS2 version. The lighting appears to be better and the game has received a slight texture upgrade which makes it look better then PS2 version. Capcom claims that this version will have a new lighting engine and from this trailer, it certainly looks like it. See the video below and make sure to view it in HD.
Resident Evil 4 HD will be available on Xbox Live Games on Demand on September 20th while PS3 users will be able to grab it off PSN on 21st September. Resident Evil: Code Veronica HD will be available on Xbox Live Games on Demand on 27th September and PSN on 28th September. Both of these games will cost you $15 each($30 total for both) or equivalent to about 1600 Microsoft points.

From the images below, Resident Evil 4 HD still looks fantastic despite being an old game. It hasn’t aged much with respect to current technology. Resident Evil: Code Veronica, on the other hand – looks a little old school. Nothing to worry though, it was still a fantastic game. The main thing that matters is the story and gameplay and both were quite good in Code Veronica. You can also dual wield guns as shown in the gameplay trailer.

Tri-Ace one of the best JRPG developers of recent times have released a tech demo for their new RPG engine which looks brilliant. The specifications are as follows:
Rendered in real-time on Xbox 360 / PlayStation 3 Runs at 30Hz with 720p and is directly captured from the video output on the devkit Real-time lighting and shadowing used (no baked light maps)
Key features are physically-based shading models, physically-based lighting and image-based global illumination
In a time where most Japanese devlopers licence UE3 to give their games something new it’s nice to see veterans like Tri-Ace to keep improving and maintaining the typical JRPG style which we adore. Check out the tech demo after the break.
