Game Spark published a retrospective on the early 2010s horror game scene, arguing that indie titles like Cry of Fear and Amnesia gained prominence as major franchises like Resident Evil became more action-oriented. The piece highlights Cry of Fear, a free Steam title originally a Half-Life mod, and its design that fuses psychological horror with inconvenient gameplay systems.
In an interview with Automaton, Capcom and Sony Interactive Entertainment discussed the graphical evolution of Resident Evil Requiem, including its support for the evolved PSSR (PSSR2) on PS5 Pro. Capcom's Masaru Ijuin detailed improvements to hair rendering, subsurface scattering, and texture streaming, while SIE's Toshimasa Aoki outlined the philosophy behind updating the super-resolution technology.
Capcom launched its Mid Year Sale across Steam, Xbox, Epic, and Nintendo eShop, with Resident Evil Requiem receiving its first discount at 20 percent off. The sale also includes deep cuts on Monster Hunter Double Cross for Switch, Street Fighter 6, and multiple Resident Evil titles, running through June 30 at various storefronts.
