I didn't think the writing of Horizon could get worse but the writing in the Lego game was horrible. Game does look fun despite the gross fortnite humour.
Speaking of which, that fortnite controller looks awful.

There's been a thread about the fog in the new game and despite it using volumetric voxel effects in the remake it looks worse than the PS2 version which moves realistically with wind movement and had textures applied which funnily enough is something that isn't possible on the deferred renderers engine of the new game.
Basically the new game is using a very advanced and intensive effect to make accurately volumetric fog that manages to look less realistic than the fog effects on the original that were all hand crafted right down to movements to simulate wind.

Must look that up. Dont remember the blood effects, I'm guessing they are just the little puff of alpha claret that most games of the time used. I do remember being very impressed by the burning staircase scene with Angela near the end of the game. Might be the nostalgia mixed with how devastatingly power the whole scene was so must take another look. I think we've only had decent fire effects relatively recently.

Always wondered what happened to it. I guess it was just too complicated and launched at a time when the likes of unity made getting into game dev easier than ever. Why make something in Dreams when you could make it just as easily in unity and sell it.

Its sad to see print media going the way of the dodo but from what I know of the OPM in the PS1 and PS2 era, it's was pretty much bottom of the barrel when it came to writing and reviews. I bought it about twice for demos but the magazine felt like it was for children.
At least it never got as bad as the official Irish PlayStation magazine. That was a Trainwreck.

I always got a few different magazines here and there. Probably didn't read any of the articles in any great detail, but aside from demo disks and the like they were just something to flick through. My mother nearly flittered me when I came home with a magazine that was just cheats and walkthroughs because it had Lara Croft in a towel or something on the cover.
"But Mam… I swear I only got it for the GTA3 cheats!"
Edit: Ha, actually found it

Yeah I do remember having to convince the newsagent and my parents that this magazine was purely about PlayStation games!
I used to love getting Amiga magazines though because these disks you’d get were fantastic. There’d be some demos, but mainly some great hobbyist applications or full games in there that I’d spend hours playing.

PC Gamer was a treasure trove of demos and shareware. Played plenty of demos of games that never even came out. It was also the only way to get patches for games before the intrawebs.
I know a few years ago there was a big campaign to try and preserve the UK OPM demo discs as they were the only place that the homebrew Net Yaroze PS1 games were ever made available outside of the closed Net Yaroze servers. They managed to archive them all and are freely available now.
