BIOHAZARD RE:4

Launched in 2005, Biohazard (Resident Evil) 4 is hailed as the franchise's greatest of all time because every single console made from the time of its launch to today has one. Such longevity prompted the producers to give the franchise's GOAT a much-needed remake for the new generation, harnessing the power of the RE ENGINE to the iconic installment.

BIOHAZARD RE:4 (PS5)

BIOHAZARD RE:4 is the long-awaited remake of the 2005 original installment that caused a lot of stir since its launch. The greatest installment of all time has been reborn for the new generation of consoles.

Fans of the original BIOHAZARD 4 are heavily familiar with the story. Set six years after the Raccoon City incident from the previous installments, Leon S. Kennedy, now a US government agent, is on a mission to rescue the president's daughter, whose whereabouts are hidden throughout a mysterious village inhabited by Ganados, humans plagued by the plaga unleashed by a sinister cult known as the Los Illuminados.

Every memorable moment from the installment, the memorable cast of characters, and everything fans loved about this franchise has been faithfully recreated by the power of the RE ENGINE first debuted in 2017's BIOHAZARD 7, giving a fresh lease of life to the greatest installment of all time. From every angle, the RE ENGINE made RE:4 even more realistic compared to the original BIOHAZARD 4.

The gameplay mechanics from BIOHAZARD 4 still works in this remake but with a couple of changes such as crafting ammunition and healing items, and of course, the parry and evade system where, at the right time, you can parry and evade enemy attacks, which are life-saving as expected.

As expected, the shop system is still there in the remake. If you need new weapons, upgrades, repairs, or selling treasures, feel free to visit the merchant. Plus, you can take on side requests where you can earn spinels when completed and use them in exchange for rare items. Talking about treasures, there are some treasures that can be sold at an ultra-high price when you combine them with various jewels. Match the same jewel colors in a treasure and the selling price will be better. Try it.

A masterpiece 18 years in the making, BIOHAZARD RE:4 brings the iconic installment to a whole new meaning for the new generations of gaming consoles. The greatest installment of all time has been reborn and it's one of the must-play horror games of the year.

Gran Turismo 7

So, what to start? The look and feel of the game, of course. Thanks to its dramatic visual changes, a new physics simulation model, and dynamic natural changes, GT7 never felt so alive on-screen, and thanks to ray-tracing provided for PS5 users, it feels so realistic to witness this game on a grander scale.

GT7 features over 400 cars from over 60 car brands across the globe. Whether it's a classic racer, a cult classic, a high-performance European exotic, a JDM street racer, or an American muscle car, this game has everything that caters to your needs. You can buy one in either Brand Central, Legendary Car Dealership, or the used car dealership, which made its return to this installment. They're almost all tuneable in order to give you an edge in races.

Want to make it truly yours? Go to GT Auto! Aside from the usual car maintenance inside and out offered, you can also kit them with aero parts, wheels, as well as custom liveries curated by you or the GT7 community.

Having enjoyed your new favorite vehicle, why not take a picture of it at either Scapes or during a post-race replay? It's a great way of showing off your favorite cars to the world.

Aside from the car roster, GT7 features a wide variety of racetracks spanning from 34 locations with 97 layouts; be it a world circuit, a city circuit, a GT original, or a dirt track. In addition, iconic GT original tracks such as Trial Mountain, Deep Forest Raceway, and High Speed Ring made a comeback in GT7. Of course, there will be more to come in future updates so stay tuned.

Rather than being just a racing game, GT7 features various modes to get yourself accommodated such as the License Center, which is strongly recommended for those who are starting the game for the first time, Missions featuring unique mechanics worthy of a challenge, and a rather peculiar Music Rally mini-game where players drive while listening to music.

Let's not forget multiplayer. Being a proper racing game for all; GT7 offers various ways to enjoy with other players such as the two-player split-screen race for some old-school fun with friends and family, Lobby if you want to race online for fun with the other players, and for serious players, there's Sport Mode. New to GT7 is Meeting Places, where online players gather and show off. A PlayStation Plus subscription is required for Online Multiplayer.

So, is GT7 the best Gran Turismo game yet? You'll have to try it first but still, the long-awaited arrival of GT7 on PS4 and PS5 kickstarts Gran Turismo's 25th anniversary this year. With gameplay back to its roots, larger than life visuals, and hopes for post-launch content coming soon, this is Gran Turismo nearly returned to its former glory and the most enjoyable racing game of the year. Welcome back to the world of Gran Turismo!

GRID Legends

The GRID franchise returns in the most dramatic installment where players will experience the most dramatic racing thriller ever witnessed as GRID Legends delivers the most intense racing experience for the racers who are new and familiar with the GRID franchise.

GRID Legends (PS5)

GRID Legends (Xbox)

GRID Legends is the first GRID game built in the time Electronic Arts took over the famed racing game developer Codemasters. Thanks to EA's takeover of Codemasters, this latest GRID game has the genes of the Need For Speed game, meaning this new installment feels like, you guessed it, a Need For Speed game.

This latest installment features the most intense campaigns ever made and the chance to create their own race rules, giving them endless possibilities to enjoy this latest GRID game their way.

So, what to start? GRID Legends features a story mode called Race To Glory, a live-action hybrid cinematic experience where players enter the world of GRID as a driver representing Seneca Racing where the fate of the racing team rests in your hands as you will take on rival teams such as Voltz and Ravenwest in the dramatic battle to become the GRID World Series champion.

Having enjoyed the game's story mode, you can experience Career mode, which is jam-packed with numerous races to take on. If you got what it takes to take on The Gauntlet, be prepared because you'll be going to need the right kind of cars to take on the most grueling races ever witnessed.

Unlike most racing games, GRID Legends features a teammate system and the return of the Nemesis system. Beginning with the latter, it's almost easy to turn your opponent into a Nemesis. If you harass your opponent long enough (like for instance, dirty overtakes, crashing to it several times, anything), your opponent will be tagged a Nemesis and the Nemesis driver will behave aggressively and chase against you, so watch out. 

As for the teammate system, you can give race command a call during the race to check on your teammate's status. You can also give your teammate commands such as holding the position or defending against a Nemesis-tagged driver. This is applicable for Career Mode and Quick Race and with enough funding, you can upgrade your teammate and mechanic skills for more efficiency and bonuses in future races.

Whether you're new or a fan of the series, GRID Legends is fit for all levels of driving. You can customize your gameplay experience by adjusting AI difficulty, driving aids, use of Flashbacks, and more.

Racing an MX-5 against a 787B? No problem. Trucks vs. Minis? You betcha. Hypercars vs classics? Yes, we can. With the power to create different kinds of races in GRID Legends, the possibilities are nearly endless so feel free to experiment with different races with different cars and see which one is the best for you.

From its intense story mode, expansive career mode, an array of vehicles, and endless possibilities, GRID Legends is by no doubt the most intense installment of the GRID series, and thanks to EA's takeover of Codemasters, this game could have been a Need For Speed game, if you know what I mean.

Kimetsu no Yaiba: Hinokami Kebbutan

From its best-selling manga, the hit 2019 anime series, to the ultra-blockbuster movie of 2020 that smashed box office records worldwide, the Kimetsu no Yaiba franchise became the IT trend of the anime culture. Every which way you go, there's no escaping the fact that everybody loves Kimetsu no Yaiba. As 2021 became a big year for the franchise because of the upcoming Entertainment District arc coming later this year, the video game based on the megahit franchise has arrived, giving fans and newcomers alike the taste of demon-slaying action the world can't get enough of.

Kimetsu no Yaiba:
Hinokami Kebbutan
(PS5)

Alongside his sister-turned-demon Nezuko and his friends, Inosuke Hashibara and Zenitsu Agatsuma, Tanjiro explores through the vast landscape of the Taisho-era Japan while mastering his Nichirinto to vanquish demons causing havoc in the dark.

The gameplay for the story mode has an RPG feel to it but as you are prepared to battle against enemies, it's a hack-and-slash fighting game that behaves like a fighting game with swords. It reminds us of you-know-what but still, like most fighting games, prepare for some intense button-mashing because at the right time at the right moment, you're going to execute some awesome deathblows as seen in the TV series. Simple as that.

When you're done reliving the entire Kimetsu no Yaiba storyline, you can invite a friend and battle each other in a two-player versus mode. Here, players can play as their favorite characters from the franchise, including popular ones like Giyu Tomioka, Shinobu Kocho, and Kyojiro Rengoku from the Mugen Train movie.

Be in no doubt that the Hinokami Kebbutan is the Kimetsu no Yaiba video game fans and newcomers can't get enough. Like it or not, this will be your newest favorite game to get hooked on as much as the whole world got hooked on Tanjiro Kamado slicing demons in the neck with his Nichirinto. Enjoy!

BIOHAZARD VII_I_AGE

For 25 years, the Biohazard (Resident Evil) franchise introduced gamers to the world of survival horror. From complex puzzles, terrifying monsters, powerful weapons, a memorable cast of characters, and complicated ways to survive, the pioneer of the survival horror genre keeps on evolving, and in honor of the franchise's 25th anniversary, a new terrifying installment has arrived and it's going to be the most unforgiving installment to date.

Biohazard Village (hereafter, it’s BIOHAZARD VIl_l_AGE because of the Roman numeral VIII on it, meaning eight) is the newest chapter of the Biohazard franchise and the most unforgiving installment ever made, daring players to survive through a mysterious new setting by all means necessary.

Set years after the Baker Mansion Incident from the previous game, Ethan and Mia Winters are living in a quiet life with their newborn daughter Rosemary when suddenly, Chris Redfield and his men raided their home, shot Mia to death, taken the baby away, and dragged Ethan to a faraway place. Now dragged to a new kind of hell, Ethan must survive through the Lycan-infested village to avenge Mia’s death and save his baby while a sinister group of villains led by Mother Miranda is watching his every move.

Back to being a first-person survival horror game, Village uses the tried-and-tested know-how from Biohazard 7 and expands it further to a terrifying new setting where villagers cower in fear, Lycans run amok, and terrifying new villains await your untimely demise.

As a game that is recommended to play on the newest consoles such as the PlayStation5 and the Xbox Series X, Village features near cinema-grade graphics that bring life to the terror it delivers. There’s so much to appreciate its dynamic graphics but that’s all there is.

Oh, and if you're playing it on a previous-gen console like the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One, you are eligible for a free upgrade when you got the newest generation consoles. Village really is a cross-gen Biohazard game for brave gamers from all walks of life.

As a proper survival horror game, Biohazard Village requires some serious tactics for players as they navigate through the horrors of the mysterious village, solving puzzles, surviving through nefarious swarms of Lycans, and more, requiring the right kind of items for the job at hand. How will you use them is up to you.

When things get rough, it’s good to know that Village brings back the shop feature where players will encounter a mysterious merchant named The Duke. If you see him, feel free to sell some treasures, buy items, refill some supplies, and upgrade your weapons. It’s just like the one from Resident Evil 4 in so many ways.

As part of the 25th-anniversary celebration, Biohazard Village players will have access to an online game titled Biohazard RE:VERSE, where players play as their favorite Biohazard heroes and villains in a no-holds-barred deathmatch where players get turned into a bioweapon and go all-out against the competition.

So, what do you think about Village? Yes, because this is by no means the most unforgiving installment ever made, expect your gameplay experience to be a lengthly one because of the puzzles to solve, Lycans to fend off, villains to take on, and a twisted storyline full of plot twists. Either way, unforgiving and lengthly is what a real survival horror is all about and Village really is the best 25th birthday present to the Biohazard franchise.

So, are you prepared to enter the village?

Project CARS 3

The Project CARS series was known to be quite a worthy contender to the sim racing genre since the first one came put and with the arrival of their latest installment, titled Project CARS 3, the folks from the Codemasters-run Slightly Mad Studios and Bandai Namco are at it again to deliver the most enjoyable Project CARS game to date.

First up, the newest installment features over 200 vehicles to choose from. Ranging from JDM street racers, American muscles, European exotics, and a slew of racing machines including those from IndyCar and for the first time, Formula E, these machines can't wait to be driven.

To make it more unique for the players, Project CARS 3 allows them to buy, tune, and customise their cars to their liking. 

This is true in a newly revamped career mode as players need to get through specific driver levels to unlock new vehicles to buy for future events to take on such as championships, hot laps, regular races, and new modes such as Breakouts (score points by hitting boards within the time limit) and Pace Setter (set the fastest average time within three laps).

Gain experience by racing regardless on which position you're on, drifting, mastering a corner, overtaking, and so much more. As you gain enough experience, you can win cash prizes as well as discounts on upgrades for cars even you haven't owned. When you gained enough experience, your Driver Levep goes up, unlocking new rides to purchase.

In tuning side, players can upgrade their cars by purchasing upgrade parts to boost the car's speed, handling, and performance. Mind the performance index, though, because when this is way over the required index, it can't participate so think carefully on how you tune your car.

There are some road cars that can be converted to race cars but also be mindful to that because once done, you can't revert it back unless you buy another one.

Also new is the ability for players to personalize their cars with the new livery editor, which is nice, but unlike other racing games, the livery editor is a bit limited and you can't freely make designs you want. Bad mark to this game, though.

In tradition, Project CARS 3 features the most authentic race tracks spanning across different continents with new additions such as Laguna Seca, the streets of Havana, Shanghai, and others. These tracks can adapt through numerous weather conditions so if you're playing on a Custom Race, feel free to experiment various weather conditions while racing.

To further up the ante, Project CARS 3 gives players a chance to shine by taking on numerous multiplayer online races and rivals events that can change from everyday to every month, giving them plenty of opportunities to take on.

So, what can I say about this game? Although the car list seems too small on sim racing standards while the livery editor feature's a bit too limited, not to mention the choppy graphics, the same Project CARS science is still working on this new installment and this is a must play for people who want to race at home in the midst of the new normal.

Project CARS 3 is available to download on PC via Steam and Xbox One. PS4 version available on the 10th of September, both download and physical.

GT SPORT: RX-VISION goes racing

Mazda is the first and only carmaker in the world to have vehicles powered by the unique rotary engine that has been used in numerous models such as the Cosmo, the RX-7, and the RX-8. Even though they've stopped making one, the hope of a rotary revival lives on.



As the motoring world continues to celebrate Mazda's centennial anniversary by all ways and means, the folks from Gran Turismo made their centennial birthday present to the Hiroshima-based carmaker and it's none other than the racing version of the concept car that should have been made as a promise for speedo boys everywhere.



At first glance, it looks like the RX-VISION CONCEPT first seen at the 2015 Tokyo Motor Show but look closely that this concept car's been muscled up for track duty. This is the RX-VISION GT3 CONCEPT, A centennial birthday present Gran Turismo made to Mazda.



Before taking it for a spin, let's take a close look about this car. The RX-VISION CONCEPT made a world premiere at the 2015 Tokyo Motor Show and this future sportscar incorporates the full potential of the company's Kodo -Soul in Motion- design philosophy and the game-changing SKYACTIV TECHNOLOGY that has been around for almost a decade since the third-generation Demio facelift in the summer of 2011. The RX-VISION features next-generation SKYACTIV-R rotary engine that delivers the ideal blend of performance and efficiency while letting the legendary rotary engine sound loose. It should have been one of the most promising ideas Mazda ever made but even though they have no plans to make it into production, they are still working hard on the return of the rotary engine by any ways and means.

The GT3 CONCEPT turns the already vivid RX-VISION CONCEPT into a racing machine that complies to the game's Group 3 regulations. The track width's enlarged, wheel arch width increased, aerodynamics and downforce beefed up for track duty, lighter weight, better center of gravity, improved SKYACTIV-R rotary engine, and has near-perfect weight distribution. Simple as that.



The main idea about putting the RX-VISION to race duty is because Mazda wanted to use the popularity of e-sports to expand their presence and that's why they teamed up with Gran Turismo SPORT to bring this dream machine to virtual life and those who signed up for Mazda in-game will have the chance to drive the RX-VISION GT3 CONCEPT at the FIA-certified Gran Turismo Championship.

Anyway, enough about that because let's talk about how it feels like driving this car and with that, I went to Suzuka Circuit to explain what I'm on about.





Because of its aerodynamics, low center of gravity, and the near-perfect weight distribution, the RX-VISION GT3 CONCEPT is the perfect definition of what a Group 3-class race car should feel like. It clings through the corners, it almost behaves like a proper race car, and overall, it's a real blast to drive but despite its top-notch dynamics that can upset even the most sophisticated Gr.3 machines in the roster, it can get carried away if it goes too much but who cares?

Having my first dibs on this car, it's time to take this one for a quick lap round Suzuka just to see how much of a racecar this RX-VISION GT3 CONCEPT is.

After a quick lap round Suzuka, I managed to post a 2:08.414 lap time, which is by my own terms, better than my little experiment with the Toyota GR Supra Racing Concept! That's amazing!



The RX-VISION GT3 CONCEPT really is one heck of a centennial anniversary present for Mazda and looks like they have made a decent Gr.3 competitor that can take on the best. Let's wish this rotary-powered racecar the best of luck as it prepares to take on the FIA GTC at the hands of players who have signed up for Mazda.

Now that I had fun with this machine, that leaves me a big question; is the RX-VISION GT3 CONCEPT the best Mazda ever made in my little list of top 100 Mazdas in history? Stay tuned!

BIOHAZARD RE:3

Last year, fans of the BIOHAZARD (Resident Evil) survival horror game franchise got blown away into terror with RE:2, the remake of the 1998 hit installment, BIOHAZARD 2. Despite its terrifying success, many are left wondering if there will be a remake to BIOHAZARD 3: LAST ESCAPE (Resident Evil 3: Nemesis). Worry no more because the long-awaited remake of the third installment of the BIOHAZARD franchise has arrived and it completes the retelling of the Raccoon City saga while incorporating the same knowhow from last year's installment.

BIOHAZARD RE:3 (PS4)

Like the original BIOHAZARD 3 game, RE:3 is set prior to the events to the previous installment while incorporating new ways to play never applied to RE:2. It was September 28, 1998, months after the mansion incident, where all hell breaks loose in Raccoon City due to the T-Virus outbreak. S.T.A.R.S. member Jill Valentine is pursued by a deadly bioweapon codenamed Nemesis as she tries to survive through the zombie nightmare. She then teams up with U.B.C.S. member Carlos Oliveira and then work their way to escape the hellhole they set foot by all means.

Just like last year's RE:2, RE:3 delivers the most fearsome experience in stunning detail courtesy of the RE ENGINE that powers it and while it delivers the same third-person perspective as last year's installment, RE:3 features new ways to survive the zombie attack. As Jill, you can side step to evade zombie attacks and if you get the right timing, you can execute the perfect dodge and better aim for a short period of time. Use your side steps wisely when you want to save some ammo for tougher fights and your life.

Also, there are materials that can be blown away when shot such as a barrel of gas, which is useful to blow away chunks of enemies, and power generators that can stun enemies around.

In addition to zombies and the familiar face we all know and feared, RE:3 features new creatures never seen in the original such as the Drain Deimos, the Hunter Gamma, the Ne-α parasite, and the Hunter Beta. Better watch out for these creatures impeding your progress.

As you progress through the story, you will gain new weapons and upgrade parts to power up your weapons such as the standard-issue handgun, the trusty shotgun, the ever-favorite grenade launcher, and more.

In later parts, you can play as Carlos as he's on the hunt for the scientist who holds the answer to this outbreak. While armed with an assault rifle, Carlos can execute a tackle to stun enemies and at the right time, he can trigger a cross punch attack. Put his abilities to good use!

When you think you had enough fun just because you finished the game on the first try, don't stop because there are plenty of challenges to complete and for every challenge completed, you'll earn points that you can spend on powerful items essential to your next gameplay. The easiest way to rake up some points you want for the rocket launcher with infinite ammo is focusing on the kill count challenges. Simple.

As RE:3 really is the much needed closure from last year's RE:2, there's more with this came from because when players bought the RE:3 game, they'll get access to the BIOHAZARD RESISTANCE multiplayer game. RESISTANCE is a 4 vs. 1 multiplayer game where four survivors work together to survive against hordes of monsters, with some unleashed by the mastermind. As a survivor, utilize on your signature abilities and then team up to survive all the way to the finish line. As a mastermind, meanwhile, it's up to you to make your opponents miserable by unleashing cards full of monsters, traps, and when necessary, a bioweapon. Each survivor has different abilities to master and each mastermind has a set of cards to make them more miserable.

The long awaited remake to the third BIOHAZARD game is no means one of the most thrilling survival horror games to play at times like this and with the addition of the RESISTANCE game, fans will love it even more. Enjoy playing RE:3 before that special someone comes to get you.

GT SPORT: Supra is back for more

The Toyota GR Supra, the first JDM sportscar of the Reiwa era, has been on the road for a year now since it went on sale days after the official start of the Reiwa era, and although not a proper rival against the JDM supercars like the GT-R and the NSX, it still impresses speedo boys with legendary Supra performance and the BMW connection lurking through its DNA. European blood aside, the Supra is still a JDM masterpiece and it behaves just as the speedo boys want.



The big question to this JDM hero of the Reiwa generation is how do you make it even better than before? Simple, really. Make it better, of course!



The Toyota GR Supra is now improved for the year 2020 and compared to the previous model, you can really feel the improvements when you get inside the updated GR Supra.





Updated for 2020, the GR Supra's 3.0L BMW-derived TwinPower Turbo engine on the flagship RZ variant has been boosted by 47PS, resulting in a 387PS power output. This means the 0-100kph time has been improved from the previous model's 4.3 to 4.1 seconds. In addition to the added power, the GR Supra 2020 Model features a revised chassis consisting of lightweight aluminum braces, front and rear bump stops, and new damper tuning. The EPS, AVS, VSC, and Active Differential have been reprogrammed in time with the hardware changes to make it more stable through quick transitions.

The GR Supra 2020 Model gained new colors including the special Horizon Blue exterior paint, which is offered as a special model.

Although slightly heavier than the previous GR Supra, the added power, revised chassis, and lowered suspension really mean that this Supra has the urge to keep drivers driving for more until they are fully satisfied. I know I tried, and speaking of trying, I come back to Fuji Speedway to see how much the 2020 model has improved compared to the last one.







Moments ago, I conducted a little experiment using the previous GR Supra against the Lexus LC, and to my amazement, the GR Supra is almost a second slower than the Lexus LC, making it a close alternative to the expensive latter. What? They're both machines used for Super GT duty and now that the Lexus LC's days as a Super GT racer are done, the GR Supra takes the cake but sadly, our dream of watching the Super GT GR Supra battling against GT-R and NSX racers have been put on hold due to the coronavirus.

Anyway, long story short, we have the updated GR Supra ready to roll and it's time to see how much the new model has improved from last time. Ready, go!

After my little experiment, the updated GR Supra did it in 2:00.190, meaning not only it's quicker than last time, but it's also quicker than the LC by a long shot!



This calls for donuts!



The added power and improved dynamics are what really sum the latest GR Supra update up but despite improvements, Toyota will never stop improving the GR Supra because by next year and onwards, they will keep perfecting the GR Supra for more until they have enough. They will keep improving as far as they go so the next time they are fully satisfied with the recent update, they will swap out to the next update and see if it's even better than before.

The GR Supra will never stop improving and expect more to come for Toyota's reborn sportscar anytime soon.

GT SPORT: Hashire, Hachiroku

The Toyota 86 has been one of the most popular Japanese sportscars ever made when it first went on sale in the Spring of 2012 and although not as fast as the expensive European imports, its accessible handling, value for money, and wide street cred made the Toyota 86 an icon of the modern era where Japanese sportscars are diminishing at an alarming rate.



The pre-facelifted 86 is nice but most demanding for the facelifted 86 to come in video games are sure in a painful situation at the time when Toyota road cars are now Gran Turismo-exclusive and after years of deceit, the facelifted 86 arrived in Gran Turismo SPORT and this version tries to see how much it was improved compared to the pre-facelift model.



Launched in the second-half of 2016, the 86 minor change features a small power increase from its 2.0L boxer-4 engine and improved dynamics underneath, not to mention some design revisions inside and out. To make the 86 minor change handle better than the pre-facelifted model, it's been given improved springs and dampers as well as increased spot welding points on the rear pillars, allowing for better steering response and ride comfort and with the optional Sachs dampers, handling can be slightly improved. Under the hood, the FA20 D-4S two-litre 4-cylinder engine adds 7 more PS to its engine output, resulting to 207PS of power and 212Nm of torque output but only the manual transmission variants are welcomed by this power increase because models with 6-speed automatic gearbox still offers the same previous output as the pre-facelift model.

A certain TV motoring show made the 86 their reasonably fast car for their celebrity guests to take a lap round the show's test track.





This car really is reasonably fast because the Toyota 86 is made to be a reasonably fast car in the first place. With such improved handling dynamics and small power increase compared to the pre-facelift model, there are several reasons why they will like the facelifted 86 better than the old one. Not as fast and powerful as they hoped but it's even more enjoyable than before and you can really drive one as long as you really want until you are fully satisfied with it.

To see how much this 86's improved from the previous model, I went back to Tsukuba Circuit and find out.







Several moments ago, I drove the pre-facelifted 86 round the track as part of my little experiment over which modern Heisei-era Japanese sportscar is the best and I lapped it round the track in 1:11.302, which is second-to-last compared to the Mazda Roadster ND. With the facelifted 86 set, it's time to find out how much this model's improved. Roll the tape.

The facelifted 86 did it in 1:10.618, meaning this car is an improvement compared to the old one but still second-to-last with the Roadster should it managed to be part of my Heisei era JDM tribute several moments ago. Still, I'm glad I drove this current 86 with my own virtual hands.



The Toyota 86 proves that a good fun-to-drive sportscar doesn't need to be fast. In fact, it takes some dynamics to make speedo boys happy to come back for more and that is why the 86 is one of the best sportscars in the modern generation. Argue what you want but the 86 is always here to stay within the drivers' hearts and minds because driving for fun is the sole purpose of this car, no doubt.

DOOM Eternal

Following their success of the 2016 DOOM remake and last year's RAGE 2 that got the whole world burned with fire and fury for the players, the folks from id Software and Bethesda are at it again to continue the recipe for madness they made from the DOOM remake for the newest sequel to the reborn first-person shooter cult classic.

DOOM Eternal (PS4)

DOOM Eternal (Xbox One)

DOOM Eternal is the direct sequel to the 2016 DOOM remake where players pit on the role of the Doom Slayer as he's on the mission to save earth from a horde of demons, new and old, using the most insane roster of weapons to collect and master.

Playing on solo campaign modes, you can really learn the basics on how to slay demons with wide range of combat resources ranging from the Chainsaw, the Flame Belch, and the Glory Kill. With benefits such as replenishing ammunition, armor regeneration, and health regeneration, you'll be spending the rest of the game raining down destruction against demons for fun and once you get hooked, there's no way of stopping Doom Eternal's brutal addiction. It's inhumanely mind-blowing.

If you had enough fun with Doom Eternal, don't stop because if you are a more seasoned player, you can try out more difficulty settings and remixes of campaign levels if you are up for the challenge. Or, if you want some more, you can battle against two friends in a unique 2V1 multiplayer experience where two players team up as demons trying to take down the Doom Slayer. If you are a Doom Slayer, take them down, fast.

DOOM Eternal is very enjoyable to play at your own terms as you can unlock new skins, player icons, and nameplates whether if it's in-game or live in-game events to watch out for. Oh, and expect more to come in this game soon. You'll never know...

With such explosive single-player campaign and the new BATTLE MODE to thrash your friends online, DOOM Eternal is no doubt one of the must-play games of the season and those who are looking for a game that is dark, gritty, and raw should look no further.

GT SPORT: From Takumi to Kanata

Here's a question; what do Initial D's Takumi Fujiwara and MF GHOST's Kanata Livington had in common? They both drive rear-wheel drive Toyotas. The former drives an AE86 Sprinter Trueno GT-APEX while the latter drives its modern-day successor, the Toyota 86. Here in GT SPORT, it's time to pay tribute to Toyota's rear-wheel drive heroes featured in both of these mangas.



Before getting the taste of the rear-wheel drive racing manga heroes, let's get to know these two iconic Toyota sports cars first, starting with the legendary AE86.  Launched in 1983, the AE86 Trueno, including its Levin twin, has roots from the E80-spec Corolla/Sprinter range but when the E80 Corolla/Sprinter range became front-wheel drive, the sporty variants remained rear-wheel drive. Offered as a three-door hatchback and a two-door coupe, the AE86 is powered by a 1.6L DOHC inline-four engine with EFI-D and T-VIS, allowing it to produce 128hp of power and 109.9ft-lb of torque.

The Toyota 86, unveiled at the 2011 Tokyo Motor Show and went on sale in the Spring of 2012, is the spiritual successor of the legendary AE86. It was jointly developed by Subaru and it's powered by a FA20 2.0L boxer-four engine producing 197hp of power while mated to either a 6-speed manual or automatic. Thanks to its ideal weight distribution and low center of gravity, the 86 is one of the best-handling sportscars in ages and a hit among car enthusiasts in the beginning.



Comparing between the legendary AE86 Sprinter Trueno and the Toyota 86 is like seeing how much we, speedo boys, evolved from Takumi to Kanata. Takumi's AE86 has been known to challenge even the most intimidating street racers on mountain roads while Kanata's 86 has been known to take on all comers in a sanctioned street racing sport called MF GHOST. Although they're different, they sure know how to drive their Toyotas to the upmost limit and that gives me an idea to conduct an experiment to see how much the 86 progressed from the legend itself so I went to Fuji Speedway and find out.



The Fuji Speedway has been the favorite proving ground for every Toyota cars made and this is the ideal ground to conduct my hypothesis regarding these two Toyota sports cars. These two are taking on time attacks to see which one is the quickest and without further ado, let's roll the tape.

After a quick lap round the short version of Fuji Speedway, here are the results; the AE86 did it in 2:16.620 while the Toyota 86 did it in 2:08.972 so by comparison, it took almost 8 seconds to evolve ourselves from Initial D's Takumi Fujiwara to MF GHOST's Kanata Livington. Surprising.



Like the two racing manga heroes speedo boys idolize, the AE86 Sprinter Trueno and the Toyota 86 are the lightweight rear-wheel drive sportscars that gained a cult following in the beginning and despite the ever-changing automotive landscape, rest assured that these two legends will forever be stuck in our minds like every Eurobeat music to our ears. Drive them with some Eurobeat music playing on the stereo and you'll know that you're just like our favorite racing manga heroes we know and admire.

NFS Heat

Need For Speed is back with an all new installment where it truly reflects the ever-changing reputation of car culture where speedo boys spend their cold hard cash modifying their rides and then race against others, be it legal or illegal. NFS Heat is a flaming reflection of how speedo boys do in the ever-changing street scene thanks to its unique gameplay where they can risk everything they got to survive and thrive in the street scene.

Set in the beautiful Palm City, NFS Heat pits players on a high-speed journey to earn some street cred by winning against other racers, be it sanctioned by day or illegal by night, while avoiding the full force of the law. 

Starting at daytime, players can win cash by winning sanctioned races and with enough money, they can spend it on rides and parts to make it fast or look cool inside and out. Speaking of which, aside from personalizing your cars with upgrade parts, body kits, wheels, and others, did you know that you can now swap engine as well as change exhaust notes?

Heat offers a wide array of tuners, muscles, and exotics from all parts of the world, especially the all new Polestar 1 PHEV grand tourer, which is the cover car of the game. Whichever ride you want to drive, they're yours to personalize whatever you want.

After upgrading your ride, you can take on street races at night to earn rep. With enough rep, you can unlock lots of parts and cars to buy, but beware because at nightfall, you need to survive from the full force of the police. They may be less of a threat in the day but in the night, they are behaving like a pack of wolves and they are doing for one purpose: to make sure your ride won't see the light of day, so watch out for cop cars, helicopters, rhinos, and an elite force led by Travis.

Although it's enjoyable in solo, NFS Heat is even more fun in multiplayer, which is similar from Rivals years ago, and wherever the other player jumps into your fray, you can't tell whether if the other player is your friend or foe, but who cares?

It maybe almost perfect to play, NFS Heat is an addictive open-world racing game which heavily reflects the ever-changing street scene. Call them crazy but Heat is how the Need For Speed franchise rolls and there's no argument for that. If you are a speedo boy who's ready to risk everything, consider this set.

Call Of Duty Modern Warfare

The original Modern Warfare, launched over a decade ago as Call Of Duty 4: Modern Warfare, transitioned the COD franchise to a more modern-day conflict with modern-day weaponry, campaign missions drawn inspiration from real-world conflicts, intense multiplayer, and more, setting standards to Activision hit franchise. The 2019 reboot, now called Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare, promises to bring back the present-day conflict inspiration to the hit franchise with new and exciting ways to enjoy. Just what is it then this 2019 reboot?

Call Of Duty Modern Warfare is one of the long-awaited games of the 2019 autumn season that packs some explosive gameplay, both solo and multiplayer, but once players took a shot at it, they had a lot of questions regarding the latest installment.

First things first, there's the solo player campaign where players can jump through intense campaign missions to further understand how the game works, which is fine until the inevitable comes into view.

As players fully understand how MW works, they can jump through various multiplayer modes to use what they learned from playing campaign missions. They can either battle against other players through various multiplayer modes or team up in the new Special Ops missions, where up to four players can get cool rewards for finishing missions together. They're all sounds lovely but they lack the drive that previous installments offered but to cover up for all the shortcomings at launch, there are various DLC packs coming within a few months and they can be yours for no charge if you opt for the Battle Pass. For PS4 owners, they'll get early access to these DLCs, of course.

In short, the 2019 reboot of Modern Warfare lacks the speciality of previous installments offered, such as zombies and battle royale, but the folks behind it did their best to deliver the comeback fit for today's conflicts the world's facing.
