One of my only complaints about the original release of
Final Fantasy VII Remake was the texture pop-in and weird, blurry texture of Cloud’s apartment door in the Sector 7 slums. I am pleased to report that these issues have been resolved in the PlayStation 5 version, though Cloud still refuses to close the damn door.

How many minutes were wasted last year as
Final Fantasy VII Remake players waited for the door texture of Cloud’s apartment to finally render? The path to the run-down flophouse room was filled with blurry signs that only sharpened when we got close, so it made sense that maybe that same phenomenon was making the apartment door look like smeared shit.

Get ready, Metroid fans, because everyone’s favorite bounty hunter Samus Aran has an all new look! That’s right, it looks like the dry cleaner lost her iconic Power Suit, so now she’s wearing mesh shorts and an XXL Big Dogs T-shirt.
