Digital Foundry:
Over the past few years the high-definition remaster has become a popular way to enjoy classic games, using more powerful hardware to deliver an enhanced, higher performance experience. Looking back, Sony Santa Monica's brilliant God of War Collection in 2009 was clearly the catalyst for this new trend, but the reality is that id Software produced a remarkable 1080p60 HD remaster that shipped at launch alongside the Xbox 360 four years prior. The game? Quake 2.
During a recent binge on retro games, we found ourselves marvelling at various console conversions of classic id shooters. The Xbox 360 conversion of Quake 2 was released exclusively as a bonus disc packaged with the horrific Quake 4, and we were impressed by what we found: an optimised 1080p, 60 frames per second rendition of the classic id shooter, released at a time when the console itself was physically incapable of producing a full HD output - which may explain why its charms were overlooked at the t...

| Heihachi Is Over 75 Years Old In Tekken 7
Added: 13.02.2015 11:10 | 2 views | 0 comments
Bandai Namco has now commented on how old Heihachi Mishima is in Tekken 7.
Katsuhiro Harada revealed on Twitter that Heihachi Mishima is over 75 years old in Tekken 7. In Tekken 6, he was exactly 75 years old. Many of the other characters in the game dont look that much older. Its entirely possible that Tekken 7 takes place only one year after the events of Tekken 6. This could mean Heihachi is now 76 years old.

| White House is Partnering With Pro-Gamers to Promote Your Health

The deadline for people to sign-up for health insurance through the Affordable Care Act, often colloquially called Obamacare, is February 15. With only a few days left, the White House has turned to several prominent esports stars, the White House highlighted the growth of esports as an increasingly important part of the media landscape. Over the last decade, eSports players, commentators, tournaments, and online streaming services have gained a following that rivals many traditional sports, including more than 31 million eSports fans in the United States alone. Today, a group of eSports industry leaders (ESL, Twitch.tv, and GEER) have collaborated to launch an effort encouraging gaming audiences to visit HealthCare.gov and sign up for an affordable health plan before the February 15 deadline. Their unprecedented effort to reach this important and growing audience stems from the fact that nearly one in four young Americans does not have health insurance — which is a risk not worth taking.
As esports continues to grow, it's unlikely that these kinds of promotions will be the last of their kind.
