I'm trying to untangle my response to how the Ocarina of Time remake looks
My first thought about the new art for The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time remake was: Oh, we're seeing too much. That was my first thought, but not my first reaction. My first reaction was pure emotional response. A familiar character turned around in the trailer and I literally recoiled, a move that I didn't even know I had in my arsenal. Read more

New FPGA Model 1 Emulator Core Runs Sega's Virtua Racing With Remarkable Precision
Core replicates 99% of original hardware speed. While emulation is constantly pushing forward from generation to generation, there remain some aged outliers yet to be completely conquered. Notably, the 3D arcade scene of the 1990s, despite its vintage, is particularly problematic when it comes to emulation - typically due to the very specific, formative, rare, and even experimental technology used during these early years of polygonal gaming. Still, the ever-faithful homebrew crew continues unabashedly, as demonstrated in this new emulation core from coder Alphanu1. The MiSTer FPGA core focuses squarely on Sega's Model 1 technology, which made its grand debut in arcade centres back in 1992, but remains one of the trickier platforms to duplicate. Alphanu1 has come extremely close, however, as the new core is capable of running Virtua Racing (the debut game for Model 1 technology) at "99% of its original hardware speed."

Hideo Kojima spy action game Physint switches publishing allegiance from PlayStation to Xbox, probably increasing the chances it'll hit PC
Physint , the action espionage game Hideo Kojima and Kojima Productions announced a couple of years ago , will no longer be published by initial backers PlayStation. Instead, it'll be published by Xbox, who're already handing those duties for upcoming Kojima horror flick OD . Sony have tried to paint this switch as an amicable parting of ways with the long-time Metal Gear Solid director's studio, but Kojima himself has claimed that PlayStation initially informed him they planned to cancel Physint, triggering a three month long hunt for a new publisher to keep the game alive.

Got to account for that system update. As if all of this week's Direct shenanigans weren't enough, Nintendo yesterday released a surprise Switch 2 system update , adding VRR modes when playing on the TV.

"Let's Get The Last Beautiful Things Hiding On Our Hard Drives Out There" - Project Dream, Rare's Unreleased Banjo-Kazooie Predecessor, Leaks Online
"There is little joy left in the industry". Well, this wasn't on my bingo card for this week. Out of the blue, yesterday, a user uploaded to the Internet Archive what appears to be a demo of the unreleased Rare title Project Dream for the SNES, the game that would later evolve into Banjo-Kazooie for the N64.
