Tekken 8 finally gives fans a definitive answer about whether or not Kazuya is actually evil or if he's being controlled and influenced by the devil gene.

Naughty Dog is known for pushing the boundaries when it comes to graphics.
We can still remember being in awe at Nathan Drake's clothes looking wet when he first climbed out of the water back in 2007.
The first Uncharted was later remastered for the next generation, which is a trend Naughty Dog has done with every game since.
The latest is The Last of Us Part 2 Remastered, which releases on Friday 19th January. It takes the original 2020 game and polishes the graphics a bit, as well as adding Lost Levels, new modes and new trophies.

What's even cooler is that you don't have to pay full price if you already have the PS4 version.
Here's how to upgrade to the remastered version for cheap if you have your old copy!
If you already own The Last of Us Part 2 on PS4, you'll be able to grab the remastered version on PS5 for just £10! A much nicer option than the full price of £44.99. But how do we do this?
Firstly, if it's a physical copy that you own, make sure it's inserted into the PS5 disk drive (we're afraid you won't be able to use your physical copy if you have a digital-only PS5). Once you've done this, head to the PlayStation store and you should have the option to upgrade to the remastered version for a tenner. Bargain!

You can read our full review of The Last of Us Part 2 Remastered now, but let's take a quick look at what's changed, and the new features.
The graphics have had an upgrade, but it's not a huge step up like other remasters. But that's fine with us, because Part 2 already pushed the PS4 to its limits, and still looks spectacular today. The real selling point to this remaster is its extra modes.
No Return is a roguelike version of the game, in which the story is swept under the rug for an intense gameplay experience. You unlock more playable characters as you go, and it's fairly addictive.
Lost Levels have been included, too, which are basically sections from the game that didn't make the final cut. Our reviewer likened them to the deleted scenes we used to get so excited about on DVDs.
Finally, there's a cool little mode called Free-Play Guitar. It's essentially the guitar sections from the game, but you can jump straight to it and strum away whenever you want.
The game's composer, Gustavo Santaolalla, is a playable skin, which is a nice touch.

The Last of Us Part II Remastered arrived last week, and if the cutscene commentary from the game's director, writer and key actors wasn't enough for you, Naughty Dog has another behind the scenes piece coming. Grounded II: Making The Last Of Us Part II, a documentary on the game's creation, will arrive on February 2 at 12PM ET on YouTube as well as in the game itself. There's a trailer in the remastered game currently, and the full documentary will be added via a downloadable patch. That patch will also have some new skins for Ellie and Abby in the main game.
Earlier this month, developer Naughty Dog announced Grounded II: Making The Last of Us Part II would be coming to its recent release, The Last of Us Part II Remastered, in a post-launch update for the game. Now, we know exactly when this behind-the-scenes documentary will be live: February 2.
Rewards from new boss encounters, hero skins, and game-changing mods are all available in when you complete different challenges in the roguelike No Return mode. The survival missions your chosen character can attempt in a run could unlock additional features. It may take time to meet every goal, but each challenge offers an exciting opportunity.
Aang and the ga(a)ng are back in live action — and this time… it might be okay?
Sony is issuing refunds to those who purchased The Last of Us Part 2 Remastered full price by accident, if they have it on PS4 already.
The Last of Us Part 2 Remastered is a strange blend. On one hand, it’s a good excuse to revisit Digital Trends’ 2020 Game of the Year selection. On the other, it’s a bizarre package filled with tone-deaf bonus modes that water down the base game’s own message on cyclical violence. Considering that it’s not as much of a “remaster” as its title implies, I wouldn’t blame most players for skipping it.
The Scream 7 cast may not include Mindy Meeks-Martin actress Jasmin Savoy Brown, who co-starred with Jenna Ortega and Melissa Barrera in the previous two films.

The Last of Us Part II Remastered launches January 19, and we here at Naughty Dog are so thrilled to offer new and returning players the definitive way to experience Ellie and Abby’s story. Coupled with new behind-the-scenes features and new modes, Part II Remastered is intended to let players dive deeper into the story and gameplay than they ever have before.
It was a sunny spring day in 2020, amid the social isolation of the COVID-19 pandemic, when I beatThe Last of Us Part 2. As its long credits rolled, I paced around my small apartment living room unpacking what transpired. I adored the sequel’s first two acts and its multifaceted discussion of cyclical violence, but I found myself critical of its California-set finale. It seemed to backtrack on all the nuance of Ellie and Abbey’s struggle by introducing a definitively evil faction that I wouldn’t feel bad about shooting with a machine gun. It was a discordant note at the end of a symphony, but I was determined to dig below my surface and try to understand what Naughty Dog was going for. It had earned that.
Naughty Dog has released a new trailer for an upcoming behind-the-scenes documentary on the making of The Last of Us Part II.
