‘MediEvil’ Remake Developer Diary Released
On the heels of the gameplay footage that was revealed at Game XP, Sony have posted a new developer diary for the upcoming remake of MediEvil.
The three-minute clip explores the key aspects of remaking a 20-year old PlayStation classic by referring back to the original development team. “Our credo was: Do what they did, and don’t change anything unless you have a good reason to change it,” said Jeff Nachbauer, executive producer on the remade MediEvil.
“There’s comments in the original source code of what music the developers were listening to at the time they were first making the game, which helped us understand what they were getting at when they first coded that area.”
MediEvil is due out for PlayStation 4 on October 25.
A month after hitting the PlayStation 5 and the Xbox Series, Fancy Games and Blackbird Interactive’s Escape The Backrooms has landed on the Nintendo Switch 2. And like the PS5 and Xbox, the Switch 2 version of Escape The Backrooms includes the the Winter Wanderer and Chinese New Year cosmetic items, with more content to be added in the future.
No-clip beyond the bounds of reality and explore haunting liminal spaces, from iconic yellow hallways and echoing pool rooms to horrific hotels and bone-chilling birthday parties. Wander solo or with up to three friends in online co-op, hunting for exits to help you descend further into the Backrooms. Beware, as those teammates who no-clip into other areas of the map leave every member of your team must find the exit alive to escape.
Luckily, you can communicate with your teammates with proximity voice chat. However, the terrifying entities that stalk your every move and hear your every conversation, so stay quiet whenever you’re near any danger.
The Backrooms are only seemingly endless… right? Find out for yourself by returning to the Backrooms to uncover secret levels and unlock new endings. Test yourself in Nightmare Mode, where a single death leads to a full restart.
You can also grab Escape The Backrooms on Steam, which currently has a 20% discount during the Steam Summer Sale.
