Gaming News PS5: Horizon Forbidden West, the forgotten game of the year?

A missed game?

Released just a week before Elden Ring, Horizon Forbidden West was a tech slap in the face for some. However, going out just before GOTY isn’t for everyone. For once, Sony’s game didn’t claim a lot of space in video game news. a little more annoying The game has not received any Game of the Year awards

when we look to the right and to the left. So here we are not talking about the Game Awards, but about the different games proposed in parallel by different media or ceremonies. And yet, this year wasn’t just for God of War: Ragnarök and Elden R ing. More than twenty different games have rightfully had that honor, but the Horizon Zero Dawn sequel isn’t collecting (almost) any laurels.

China opens again!

China approves 45 games for first time in months! For more than ten years, many brands in the sector have been trying to find a place in the Chinese market with the aim of one day softening the country’s policy on video games.

In fact, the publisher has received five publishing permits for its games, specifically imports like Riot Games’ Valorant.

A year ago, Resident Evil fans discovered on the Internet a completely free demo of a 100 percent amateur project! The group was formed by three friends who wanted to pay homage to the Episode Code Veronica, and had the graphic and technical elements of Resident Evil 2 Remake as support. In full development, the three friends will be approached by Capcom, the publisher behind the saga. After some friendly and benevolent email exchanges, another request comes to mind: abandon the project because it violates Resident Evil game copyrights. Following this strange request, we asked ourselves some questions about Capcom’s plans for Code Veronica. An adjustment in the next few years, for example? According to Yoshiaki Hirabayashi, the producer of Resident Evil 4, there are currently no concrete plans. He adds that if the opportunity arises, he might actually have a remake of this very special episode. The Daily is over!
