That’s basically what Daniel Siemieniaco has done. Using their skills and experience as a 3D environment/prop artist, they’ve managed to recreate a moment from Resident Evil 4, only this time in Unreal Engine 4. This is, however, just a visual demo and they are not actually doing a remake of the game in the engine, but the sight of it in this murky lighting, and with Leon’s slow movement throughout the room really gives the scene a much creepier vibe....

Classroom of the Elite’s 11th episode showed how the Tokyo Metropolitan Advanced Nurturing High School students walk the thin line between what’s socially unacceptable and what is considered ethical.

The news media have backed off in their coverage, paying more attention to a prospective military clash with Iran and the Musharraf meltdown in Pakistan than the day-to-day turmoil in Iraq. “The media requires change, and the story hasn’t changed,” says Andrew Kohut of the Pew Research Center. “People’s mood about the war hasn’t improved, but they aren’t tracking it because they can’t find it....
