Digital Foundry | Face-Off: Zombi
Undead or alive.
Considered a highlight of the Wii U's hardware launch, developer Straight Right decides that now is the time to give Zombi a run-around on PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC. The single-player game is in many ways identical, but this budget release does promise some interesting visual tweaks. The question is: does this extend much further than a quick resolution boost to 1080p? And how have Wii U's off-screen controls fared in the move to the more conventional gamepad?

Feature | Sky Rogue delivers the romance of aviation
And it's out now in Early Access.
I'm not ashamed to admit that, several years back, I bought Annie Jacobsen's weighty history of Area 51 to read about aliens. In the end, ETs turned out to be pretty thin on the ground, but I learned a lot about the Lockheed A-12 instead, and it was far more interesting than I had expected. Lumbered with Oxcart, the most perversely inappropriate code name in the history of espionage (maybe that's just espionage for you), the A-12 was a child's drawing of a jet plane, sleek and deadly and romantic. It was a Cold War horror show, of course, but it was enlivened by cheeky quirks, such as its insane speed, and the fact that one of its engines was prone to cutting out when it was travelling dangerously fast. The solution to this was not to fix the engine that cut out, incidentally, but to simultaneously cut the other one out, too. That saved the A-12 pilots from a nasty spin, perhaps, but as fixes go, it must have felt like a work in progress.

Video | Video: Ian plays the Black Ops 3 beta, is rusty
Special Farces.
I used to be really good at Call of Duty. I was ace at Call of Duty 2, no one could beat me on Carentan. In Call of Duty 3 if I got into a tank there was no getting me out again, and Modern Warfare... well Modern Warfare was just amazing. I must have lost days to that game, grinding my character up to prestige level eight before finally getting tired.

Video | Video: Can Sublevel Zero bring back Descent's greatness?
Subterranean homesick pews.
Despite the fact it launched over 20 years ago, there's still something special about Descent's six degrees of freedom (6-DoF) gameplay. For all the variety of today's new releases, finding that same blend of floaty, liberated movement and cramped bottleneck corridors is still something of a rarity.

Digital Foundry | Digital Foundry vs Everybody's Gone to the Rapture
One step closer to photo-realism?
From its opening shot, Everybody's Gone to the Rapture shows precisely how its three-year development was spent. It's an absolutely gorgeous PlayStation 4 title that puts its bucolic visuals front and centre - where CryEngine is tasked to render a picturesque Shropshire village. Developer The Chinese Room uses the engine's superb lighting and post effects to ramp up the atmosphere. But with such a determined drive towards photo-realism, has its frame-rate been overlooked?
