Read about why there’s been a recent wave of 1990s games nostalgia in this week’s MCV

As a Resident Evil 2 remake is announced, we look at why the games industry is going back to the 1990s.

We speak to Playtonic Games boss Gavin Price as well as Capcom UK’s Brian Ayers and SCEE’s Jim Ryan about why the industry is turning back the clock 20 years.

Meanwhile, Bethesda marketing and PR boss Pete Hines tells MCV about its biggest 12 months in its history, with huge titles such as Fallout 4 and Doom.

Furthermore, we talk Oculus boss Brendan Iribe about the reality of VR, the firm’s Microsoft deal and why the big publishers aren’t backing the new tech just yet.

And Sony product manager Joe Palmer and Pete Samuels from developer Supermassive Games tell us about Until Dawn.
