If you saw Resident Evil Veronica's announcement trailer during last week's Summer Game Fest, you might reasonably assume it'll be continuing the modern series' forays into first-person horror. However, Capcom has now confirmed its Code Veronica remake is hewing more closely to the original, and will once again be played from a classic third-person perspective.

It wouldn't be a Fable preview if I wasn't at least a little bit wary of encouraging you to get your hopes up. But, forgive me, I'm going to. I've seen a good half hour of continuous gameplay and, although it comes with plenty of caveats, it really was fantastic. Playground Games' Fable reboot looks to be silly, crass, British, beautiful, systemic, and maybe a little overambitious. In other words it looks like Fable. Indeed few things are more Fable than promising the Moon, after all - 1,000 unique, romanceable, morality driven NPCs!

I even cited examples from the very minds that made the original game when Bungie was but a fledgling studio with dreams of grandeur; it wasn't just me that felt this way: even the series creators did. Vindication!

Hidetaka "Swery" Suehiro's oddball roguelike Hotel Barcelona didn't impress us when it dropped last year, but there was something charming and earnest about it. But months later - and many updates later - Swery and White Owl appear to have turned opinion around.

Summer might be right around the corner, tempting us out toward sun, sand, and sea, but that isn't stopping Sony from releasing a strong list of PS Plus Premium and Extra games in June that might just tempt you to stay inside.
