Damn, looks like intense stuff, particularly when you know some of the things the game is doing to earn its M rating. Need to know more? Here’s the game’s official description… “Final Fantasy XVI brings players into Valisthea, which is studded with Mothercrystals—glittering mountains of crystal that tower over the realms around them, blessing them with aether. For generations, people have flocked to these beacons to take advantage of their blessing, using the aether to conjure magicks that let them live lives of comfort and plenty....

Speaking to Gamesradar, Final Fantasy XVI producer Naoki Yoshida explained that the increasingly realistic graphics in games is making it harder for some fans to accept the old-school turn-based combat system. It’s definitely a fair point to make. That doesn’t mean Yoshida believes this is the end of turn-based combat in Final Fantasy games, though. He reckons the next game might as well feature pixel graphics and turn-based combat, since the defining feature of the IP is, after all, its ability to completely change between various installments....

In a new PlayStation Blog post, Forspoken lead visual effects artist Ryota Nozoe describes the philosophy behind the creation of the game’s spells. “We put a great deal of time and thought into how we visualise the spells in Forspoken. First and foremost, we wanted to stay away from having things like fire or rocks just suddenly appearing out of nowhere. While that certainly would have been fine, and wouldn’t have caused any issues, doing that felt too expected and boring – especially for a game so focused on magic....

This is done to ensure that there is battery saving.

Samsung Decides to Go Back on Their Statement About the Galaxy S22 and S22 Plus Refresh Rates Varying refresh rate is nothing new....

As you make your way through Tokyo, you’ll inevitably run into supernatural beings called Visitors, malevolent foes that stand in Akito and KK’s way....

The rating, which can be found on the Korean Game Rating and Administration Committee website, doesn’t reveal much about the game, the fact that it has been rated suggests that a release date announcement could be imminent. With so many high-profile games getting delayed to 2023, such as Bethesda’s Starfield, it is not unlikely that the same could happen to God of War Ragnarok. According to Sony Santa Monica Animation Director Bruno Velasquez, the game is coming this year, but in a recent message from Cory Barlog, it has been revealed that the team is not yet ready to show the game again, so it definitely sounds like things are a little uncertain as of now....

A new video shared on YouTube by Digital Dreams shows Grand Theft Auto V running at 16K resolution, which is reached by using double resolution scaling with a 7680 x 4320 resolution.

Returning to GTA Trilogy, during an interview with GamesIndustry.biz, Zelnick promised more fixes and improvements are on the way… Hopefully we can trust Zelnick’s words and future GTA releases won’t be as messy as GTA Trilogy’s....

While only available in the Fidelity Mode (which is locked at 30 frames per second), the RT reflections do provide a significant improvement, especially since GTA V and GTA Online didn’t have good screen space reflections to begin with. Twitter user @videotech shared a lot of footage and images, which we’ve gathered below. — Ben (@videotech_) December 13, 2022 — Ben (@videotech_) December 13, 2022 — Ben (@videotech_) December 13, 2022...

The PS5 and Xbox Series X offer identical visual modes – Fidelity gives you native 4K, ray tracing, and 30fps, Performance offers native 1440p at 60fps, and RT Performance offers dynamic 1440p, ray tracing, and 60fps. Based on the analysis above, it seems PS5 holds pretty much rock solid in all modes, with only small 1 or 2 frame dips in Performance mode when things get crazy. Meanwhile, the Xbox Series X really seems to struggle in RT Performance mode, dropping all the way down to the 30 to 40fps range, and Performance mode dips to the low 50s....
