Feature | The day I killed my hero
Cool Jaz.
When I was growing up, I spent more money on the magazine Mean Machines than I actually did on the games it covered. Games were just games, after all. Mean Machines was a whole world, and the king of that world was Jaz Rignall, a quick-witted and amusingly-haired writer who always called things as he saw them.

Digital Foundry | Face-Off: Dragonball Xenoverse
Street Fighter 5 developer Dimps gets to grips with PS4 and Xbox One.
Already on call to develop Street Fighter 5, Dimps gets its mitts on early with PlayStation 4 and Xbox One to achieve very mixed results.

There are some interesting ideas here, but also areas where the tech shows its age on newer hardware.

Final Fantasy 15's demo gives us new hope for the series
Hitting the ol' Duscae trail.
I've spent hundreds of hours exploring the worlds of Final Fantasy. Between battling Ultimate Weapons, collecting Celestial weapons, playing cards, playing ball and hunting down secret summons and characters, I've lost days, possibly even entire weeks, to past series entries, all told. So, when I'm given just a single hour to explore a vast expanse of land in the Final Fantasy 15 demo, Episode Duscae, I panic.

CPS2 gaming on your television.

Video | Video: When video games got space really, really right
Plus more videos from Outside Xbox.
On account of being a whole bunch of almost nothing, real space is quiet, cold and frictionless. This makes it excitingly dangerous and inconveniently uncinematic, often at the same time, so that popular fiction has a tough time with accurate depictions of space.

Digital Foundry | Sony and the future of VR
Digital Foundry talks Morpheus with Sony's Shuhei Yoshida and Richard Marks.
For Digital Foundry, GDC 2015 ends as it began - in the company of Sony's president of worldwide studios, Shuhei Yoshida, and getting to grips with the firm's Project Morpheus VR demos. It's been several days since we first went hands-on with the London Heist experience, during which time we've enjoyed Crytek's Return to Dinosaur Island and WETA Digital's Thief in the Dark demos on Oculus Rift, and of course, Valve's immense HTC Vive-powered 'VR cave'. We've experienced the high-end of VR by the best in the business running on simply immense PC hardware. But what's clear is that thanks to Project Morpheus, console gamers aren't going to miss out, either.

Feature | Ellen Raskin: The children's writer as game designer
Absolutely a novel, absolutely a game.
For almost three decades I've lived with the memory of a building that wasn't quite right. Dim and flickering, I see it waiting for me at the edge of a vast, silver lake. "The sun sets in the west (just about everyone knows that), but Sunset Towers faced east. Strange!" How did this oddball phrasing take root? Last year, I gave in and googled it.
