Star Wars discounts aplenty today.
Welcome back to another wonderful week of discounts with the guy who lives and breathes gaming. And not just any games, my friend—the best ones actually worth buying / playing / storing in a shameful pile to probably never be touched again. Personally, I’m all about the surprisingly early 30%+ discounts I’m seeing on Dragon Age Veilguard and Star Wars Outlaws. So maybe start saving there.
In retro news, I’m commemorating the 19th anniversary of Resident Evil 4, a port that blew PS2 owner minds like a .223 calibre Semi-Auto Rifle round to the melon. Though I’d already dropped about 60 hours incessantly replaying this via my (better looking and sounding) GameCube version, I recall being instantly re-smitten when I booted this on ‘Station. The new big cherry on top? Separate Ways, a roughly 2.5-hour mini adventure that slipped us into the impractical heels of a TMP-packing Ada Wong. Truly, RE4 was in the top 3 games of a console flush with all-time greats. Anybody who skips the Remake is Ganados levels of loco.
Happy Bday Resident Evil 4

PS5 Pro Enhanced Bargain
Need a cheap Pro showcase title?
Demon’s Souls – $124.95 / $104
Even without a Pro Enhancement, the visuals of this ’24 remake of a ’09 PS3 classic already knocked my chainmail socks off. That said, there is indeed a vaguely described “PS5 Pro” toggle in the Display Adjustment menu. It seems to be a 4K-like 60fps Fidelity Mode, which, I think, looks noticeably better than the base experience thanks to additional tessellation density and a new contact shadow system that adds finer micro-detail to stonework (which is everywhere). Basically, I’m fixing to replay this all over again now. As a busy reviewer who’s always on The Next Thing, I need a bona fide reason to look backwards; PS5 Pro Enhancement feels (and looks) like a worthy one.
