Resident Evil 2 Remake
Bandai Namco

Release Date: January 18

Platforms: PS4, Xbox One, PC

I suppose by this point your either onboard with the Ace Combat series or not; a combat flight sim blended with a distinctly Japanese flavour - a bit like Top Gun meets anime. It's an acquired taste yet is also Namco's sixth highest selling franchise.

The newest entry strives to bring the satisfying action that fans would expect with top-notch graphics, but it's also packing an exciting caveat as well; full-blown VR levels (exclusively for the PS4) that have been praised in the preview circles.

The idea of doing an in-air dogfight in such an immersive manner will either have pulses pounding or people puking in their laps, either way, it has helped it garner excitement outside the usual fan-base.
