Sony hasn't forgotten about the Vita just yet
Update 3.60 arrives in tandem with new PS4 firmware.
Things might have gone quiet on the Vita front, but that's not to say Sony isn't supporting its handheld. Not to be left out by the relatively feature-rich firmware update for the PlayStation 4, headlined by the introduction of remote play on PC and Mac, the Vita's got an update all of its own. Sadly, version 3.60 doesn't seem to add much beyond some tweaks to quality of the system performance.

Feature | How bad exactly is Atari's Rollercoaster Tycoon World?
Snark and rides.
Atari's reputation as a gaming label is now so far down the pan that virtually every release is met with a mixture of resigned inevitability and something akin to a macabre glee. Recent abominations such as Alone in the Dark: Illumination and the bizarre survivalist reboot of Asteroids haven't simply been bad, but so explosively atrocious that the games transform into a circus of mockery and ridicule. In the centre of the ring is a lousy clown who remains entertaining purely because the audience gets to throw pies at him.

Feature | There's no need to worry about Star Fox Zero's strange controls
Video and impressions of Platinum's latest.
The Star Fox series has its own particular catchphrase, of course, but there's another line that's lingered with me a little longer. You'll know it, I'm sure; the crudely digitised bass bark of General Pepper as you shoot out into Corneria for the first time, full of hope, excitement and, if you're an 11-year-old just back from a Rumbelows in Chesham with a box-fresh SNES hastily plugged into your CRT, pure wide-eyed wonder at this dazzling new world of wireframes and polygons. 'Good luck!'

Digital Foundry | Face-Off: Resident Evil 6 Remastered
1080p60 PC port or something more?
It's exciting times for fans of Resident Evil. Remastered versions of the last three series entries are on their way to current-gen systems, while a remake of the second game is also in development. Resident Evil 6 is the first of these titles to land, and the PS4 and Xbox One releases bring upgrades to both resolution and frame-rate over the last-gen versions. With the recent GameCube remakes capped at 30fps, we were concerned that Capcom would go down the same route for the other titles in the series. Thankfully, that isn't the case for Resident Evil 6, which hands in a superb 1080p60 experience. But aside from resolution and frame-rate boosts, just how far does the remastering process extend across the game?
