The video appears to be captured from a co-op heist mission. There are clearly four players infiltrating an enemy stronghold, grabbing the money, and trying to survive before they can extract the loot.

The new footage, shared on YouTube by Famitsu as part of their Tokyo Game Show 2022 coverage, highlights how much gameplay, expecially combat, has been improved over the original PSP release. The footage also showcases a brand new gameplay mechanic that allows players to interrupt a boss special attack by depleting a gauge, which is definitely a welcome addition.

A lot has been said and written about expansions for Cyberpunk 2077, and although fans already received the first bits of DLC for the game, we’re still waiting for the game’s first major expansion. Back in 2020, CD Projekt Red said that their latest title would have at least as much DLC as The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, but where the first expansion for that game (Hearts of Stone) was released less than 6 months after the release of the main game, we have yet to learn more about Cyberpunk 2077’s expansions....

Dead Island 2 is, as a matter of fact, not set on an island. The game’s set in “Hell-A”, a post-apocalyptic word pun on LA. Segments of… Right, maybe I’m a miserable git, but I’m not going to call it “Hell-A” from here on. Yes, it’s quirky, but no. I prefer other comical elements of Dead Island 2. Anyway, as I was saying, the setting is not an open world, with LA has been split into segments, some bigger and others smaller, each with their open area, featuring core and side missions....

The game throws us into the age of the hippie craze of the year 1969, ten years after the first game. It turns out the Russians were aware of what was happening behind the scenes back when Crypto-137 was making his rounds in America and now the KGB wants to essentially conquer the world and destroy America while restoring the glory of the Soviet Union. Like that’ll ever happen, amirite?...

However, a few hours ago, PotatoOfDoom uploaded an NVIDIA DLSS mod for Judgment, the 2018 game made by Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio that was released this week on PC alongside its sequel, Lost Judgment. As we noted in our port report, both games support AMD FSR 1.0 and FSR 2.0, but no DLSS. With this mod, DLSS replaces FSR 2.0. To make it work, follow the creator’s instructions outlined below....

Needless to say, Apple’s engineers did a fantastic job with the final product, despite the fact that they had to dynamically change the way they work. Apple’s senior vice president of hardware technologies, Johny Srouji, discusses these challenges, how they overcome these barriers, and more, in the latest interview. Srouji Reportedly Did Not Want to Delay the M1 Launch, so He Devised a New Way on How Its Validation Phase Would Be Completed Talking to The Wall Street Journal, the paywalled report (via MacRumors) discussed with Srouji on how he and his team, who are over a thousand engineers and located in different regions, handled the global health crisis....

The video, shared on YouTube by Bub, showcases some unused assets discovered in the game’s 1.4.0 patch, which went live last month. According to the datamined information, this potential story DLC will feature, as mentioned above, a gladiator theme, a new opera house location called Opera Astrid, and two different endings. Dying Light 2 has been released earlier this year on PC and consoles after a rather long wait. The game is a more than worthy sequel to the original, despite some issues, as highlighted by Nathan in his review: Dying Light 2 Stay Human is another exhilarating parkour and zombie-pummeling playground from Techland, although at times, the seams holding it all together are a bit obvious....

Of course, that doesn’t mean Techland is done working on it. Speaking to Gamereactor, Techland’s animation director Dawid Lubryka confirmed that the developer will fix and improve the existing issues of Dying Light 2, even though they’re still proud of what they were able to launch on February 4th. The first Dying Light had an incredibly long tail when it comes to patch and DLC support. The developers even set up another event in late January, as a matter of fact....

— Dying Light (@DyingLightGame) January 19, 2022 We’ve looked into other comparisons ourselves. The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim had 47K lines of dialogues, while Oblivion stopped short at 30K. This figure highlights the shift towards roleplaying games made by Techland with Dying Light 2. While the first game was definitely an action/adventure title, this one was designed around the idea that players would be able to influence the story, much like in an RPG, through a choice & consequence system....

Indeed, as we’ve discussed previously, players will have a lot of agency regarding their choices....
