Per The Washington Post’s sources, Diablo IV development has been rocky, with numerous changes in direction resulting in discarded work. Of course, original project leads Luis Barriga and Jesse McCree were fired following the lawsuits and revelations about workplace harassment and mismanagement at Blizzard that surfaced in 2021. Additionally, an early script by The Witcher 3 creative director Sebastian Stepień that incorporated rape and other controversial subjects was canned. The turmoil on the Diablo team reportedly led to high turnover, with some teams losing half their members....

Turning to the software side of things, Elden Ring continued its impressive run, once again topping the charts (which its done in 4 of the 5 months since it launched). As for new games, it was a mixed bag – Mario Strikers: Battle League came in at #3, the only debut in the top 10. F1 22 came in at #12, although that can be explained by the fact that only those with early access got to play in June....

As of now, Microsoft will have to wait until November 8 to hear more about whether the European Commission will permit the deal to go into its next phase. The acquisition is scrutinized by global regulators amid antitrust concerns during a time of increasing consolidation in the gaming industry, after all, so every bit of scrutiny is justified. Now, several antitrust regulators from the EU are asking game developers whether Microsoft will be incentivized to block access to Call of Duty from rivals....

Here’s a lowdown on what PlanetSide 2 players can expect from Expedition: Oshur. We had the chance to briefly talk about Expedition: Oshur with Rogue Planet Games producer Michael Henderson. He was able to confirm that water mechanics will be added to the other continents (where applicable) shortly after the release of this update. We asked whether there were any plans to add more underwater weapons, given that only the aforementioned four will work below the sea level, and Henderson replied that it will depend on the player’s excitement for Oshur....

Fab Muoio, FIFA Presentation Producer, said: By far, the pitch is our biggest improvement visually in FIFA 23. We really looked at leveraging the power of the new hardware to make it look as realistic as possible where we went in, and we tuned the length of the grass and the color of the grass. We even show some of the dirt on the grass when it gets torn up through either a slide tackle or a knee slide, so we really kind of bring that pitch to life....

Well, Nintendo may be keeping quiet, but it seems the Fire Emblem floodgates have opened. According to longtime reliable Nintendo leaker Emily Rogers, the next Fire Emblem is an all-new game (rather than a remake) designed to celebrate the franchise’s 30th anniversary. As such, the game has a new mechanic where you can use “Emblems” to summon fan-favorite characters from the past to your team. It seems like the game may also have a somewhat more fantastical storyline, as Rogers claims the main character will have “strange” red and blue hair, owing to the fact that their mother is a dragon....

New Teardown Also Shows Improved Thermal System, Bigger Main Camera, but Smaller Battery than iPhone 13 Pro Max Getting inside was reasonably straightforward if you have the right tools and if you show a little patience, as demonstrated by PBKReviews in his latest video.

They don’t seem to be particularly demanding, though there’s no indication of the target resolution, frame rate, and settings preset, so it’s hard to say for sure. There’s no mention of ray tracing, either, even if that was confirmed a while ago to be available in the PS5 version of Ghostwire: Tokyo. The developers at Tango GameWorks were also featured in an official studio spotlight video interview published on Bethesda’s YouTube channel....

Anyway, I have fairly good news about Ghostwire: Tokyo on PC. First of all, the game supports several upscaling technologies, from the Unreal Engine’s own Temporal Super Resolution (TSR) to NVIDIA DLSS (Deep Learning Super Sampling) and AMD FSR (FidelityFX Super Resolution). You’re going to want at least one of these enabled if you also wish to activate the ray traced effects, such as shadows and reflections. Both are particularly suited to the atmosphere since Ghostwire: Tokyo takes place entirely at nighttime (at least as far as I’ve seen), right in the center of the Japanese capital’s neon-lit streets....
