Unreal Engine 5 fan remake Gamma Emerald gets its first early access release

ICYMI: After being announced last year, the fan-made remake Gamma Emerald has finally gotten its first early access release. A complete rebuild of fan-favourite Pokemon Emerald in Unreal Engine 5, the game has amassed a sizeable following keeping up with the small developments as they've been posted. On the creator's YouTube channel, we've seen teasers for the battles, area design, and various menus. Not to mention showing off the Game Corner in its full glory.

A lot of effort has gone into...

Everyone thinks The Elder Scrolls VI will be called Sentinel

ICYMI: Over the past week, rumors have started swirling as Redditors (probably correctly) deduced the title of the upcoming Elder Scrolls game, which will apparently be Sentinel. Following a post from Xbox CEO Asha Sharma, who enjoyed a gameplay demo of the game at Bethesda, where she hinted that the name of the next game might be an 8-letter word, old easter eggs resurfaced.
There's a couple of reasons for that. For starters, it turns out that Bethesda Game Studios had been sneakily teasing it...

Limited Edition Zelda-themed Switch 2 images have leaked online

ICYMI: Images for the rumoured Zelda-themed limited edition Switch 2 for The Legend of Zelda's 40th Anniversary have started to leak online.

The leak shows only the cardboard box that holds the actual console, not the console itself, but it gives a good glimpse at what the console and its controller would look like. The console itself has Joycons with special green and golden colouring to them, with the right Joycon showing some green motifs, and the left Joycon having the classic Hylian symbol on...

It’s decent enough - an early look at Oblivion Remastered on Switch 2

ICYMI: So I got pretty lucky on this one. Having ordered the physical version of Oblivion Remastered on Switch 2, I had it delivered earlier today, beating out the official release date by a few days. With this being a port I figured people would be interested in, I’ve rushed to pop together some early impressions and a bit of footage showing the game in action so you can decide whether it’s one worth picking up. In short though? It is decent. Not perfect, but decent.

We’re looking at a 30fps...

Pokemon Emerald EX released, features new routes and towns alongside eight new gyms

ICYMI: Hoenn to the ROM hacking scene is like Kanto to the official games. It's everywhere. At this point you've probably played through Pokemon Emerald with a party of eight Pokemon, with an assortment of competitive teams, fake Pokemon, with no experience, and maybe even with a Game Boy Color-themed aesthetic. For those who like Hoenn but want a bit more to freshen up the experience, I might have a hack that's worth checking out.
