This was honestly shocking to me... What the hell?!??

100% in agreement with you there.

Yeah, I’m with you there, John. I wouldn’t even touch games like this with a ten-foot pole. I’ve just started playing Shenmue I for the first time, and I’m absolutely loving it. If they keep pumping out MP, survival slops like this, I’ll stick to retro games.

Uncharted 4 turns 10 this year, along with the PS4 Pro. Make of that what you will. Personally, I’m choosing to believe 2016 was fairly recent.

This video took a while to make but it’s finally out! A lot of the capture work for Part 2 is complete as well. I’ll finish that after the holiday! Enjoy.

Finally! And it’s already looking great.

Dying Light: The Beast - Unlocked FPS Performance Test on PS5 vs PC + PS5 Equivalent Settings
Dying Light: The Beast - Unlocked FPS Performance Test on PS5 vs PC + PS5 Equivalent Settings YouTube video by Analog Foundry

My Dying Light: The Beast video -- I break down PS5-equivalent settings, replicate them on PC to show notable performance gains vs Max settings, plus extended direct FPS comparison with PS5's unlocked Performance mode frame-rate.

Dying Light: The Beast's unlocked FPS in the 120Hz VRR Perf mode on PS5 helps give this direct comparison vs PC. In this scene, where the PS5 renders at 1080p, an RTX 3070 using PS5 settings at 1080p is roughly 45% faster. Not a new revelation, of course, just another data point.

How do you navigate the settings menu in Battlefield 6 to make the game run and look its best for multiplayer? With @iamrayy-0.bsky.social's help, we make optimised settings to get you on your way. I also talk about bugs and BF6's unambitious graphical presentation. Enjoy!

Battlefield 6 on PC delivers exceptional scalability -- and with fine-tuned optimised settings, there’s substantial performance gains to be had with virtually no loss in visual quality. We also look at how it compares to the graphics settings found in both modes of the PS5.

Two days late to the news, but there it is β€” the gold master πŸ“€ of #DeathStranding2. We don’t see gold masters much anymore, not like we did back in the PS4 or PS3 era.

How does the new Assassin's Creed Shadows run on Low spec PC GPUs and CPUs? How is the PC user experience? Smooth or with issues? Why do cutscenes look so choppy? All that and much more in my PC review featuring optimised settings with help from

The Complete Guide to SK Improving games since 2015 β€” with the occasional crash along the way

Lol, here's everything you need to know about it and download: wiki.special-k.info

Correction: it's being ported by both Iron Galaxy and Nixxes. Interesting.

Using Special-K to cap the frame-rate fixed those spikes for me.

Tutorial level is very much GPU bound. The bottleneck shifts to towards CPU once you enter Vatican with Full RT on. It's super heavy on CPU. I imagine non-X3D Zen 3 for e.g. will likely see dips well below 60fps, even though GPUs like the 4070 and up would be capable of more.

That's a generational leap.

Nixxes is handling the TLOU Part II PC port. Nice.

Iron Galaxy were the ones to handle prior Naughty Dog ports including TLOU Part I, IIRC.

How to Improve Shader Performance by Resolving LDC Divergence
How to Improve Shader Performance by Resolving LDC Divergence YouTube video by NVIDIA Game Developer

Thread divergence during constant buffer reads can have a big perf impact, this presentation discusses how to detect this on NVidia GPUs using GPU Trace and Shader profiler. Also shows how useful access to ISA is for understanding what the shader does under the hood. www.youtube.com/watch?v=HSsP...

You eagerly check Amazon Prime for a movie you've been anticipating, only to find out... it's for rent.

Man, the mid-2000s rock scene paired with PS2-era gaming was iconic to me. The energy, the soundtracks, the memoriesβ€”they defined a generation. It’s an era I’ll never stop loving.

This PC animation issue in stalker 2 when using FPS caps pointed out in this post is A LOT like the pre-launch issue on Xbox Series consoles. I have loaded up the game and tried out a 30 fps cap and have also seen the issue. Upvote this post to get the devs to see it. I will write an email soon.

It's been a while since the last DF Retro episodeβ€”this feels like the perfect occasion for a new one. Missing them a lot! :)

However, I'd wait at least 6-8 months before putting the game on disc, allowing time for all updates and patches with bug fixes to be released.
