‘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.

‘Godzilla: Destroy All Monsters Melee Remastered’ Announced for Consoles and Steam [Trailer]
Atari is reaching back for fans of the classic GameCube and Xbox fighter Godzilla: Destroy All Monsters Melee with a remastered edition that’s coming November 3 to PC via Steam, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, and the Nintendo Switch 2. The PS5 and Switch 2 will also be receiving physical versions that you can pre-order now.
“There is a real sense of responsibility that comes with working on Godzilla, especially with a fan-favorite title like Destroy All Monsters Melee,” explains Atari chief creative officer Mike Mika. “It is only natural that Atari, as the original publisher in 2002, would partner with Pipeworks, the original developer and kaiju experts to bring their creation back to center stage—bigger, better and more destructive than ever.”
The ultimate kaiju arena brawler is back, completely remastered. From Atari and original developer, Pipeworks, Godzilla: Destroy All Monsters Melee Remastered updates the 2002 fighter with enhanced visuals and quality of life improvements. Choose from one of twelve monsters, and battle it out with a range of brutal attacks through 8 locations, each with day and night variations. Battle through real-world cities, Monster Island, and the alien Mothership. Face off against your friends in local co-op or new online multiplayer.
Along with the updated visuals, Godzilla: Destroy All Monsters Melee Remastered also features gameplay updates, as well as an improved unlock system, so you can unlock monsters, locations, and gallery items in any order you choose.
