Meanwhile, Horizon Forbidden West, recently released on PC, has 93% positive reviews. It peaked at 40K online and keeps growing every day. Seems like another good result for #PlayStation after Helldivers 2 earlier this year.

Meet Industria 2: the original game was memorable due to very nice #ArtDirection and horrible performance (due to their shadows implementation).
It was created with Unreal Engine 4 by a tiny team and they only used Blueprints with ZERO LINES of C++
Let's see if they gonna make a better game this time!

Dragon's Dogma 2 is very CPU limited while you are exploring the open world and not pushing very hard on GPU compared to other modern games.
To be absolutely clear, Ryzen 5000 will not give you solid 60 FPS same as Intel 12. And this can't be fixed by image scaling since the issue is clearly on the CPU side and assets streaming.
The game also seems barely playable on handhelds, since even the desktop version (8700G with Radeon 780M) shows horrible performance on any resolution.
Someone went further with #ImmersiveSim games: if you have a key, you are still free to use it the other way than just opening the lock!

New #GodotEngine tutorial, fairly short one, but you will be able to make a full 2D game in Godot 4.2!

The Witcher 3 at home: the Russian game Smuta that takes place in 1612, will only be available in the local game launcher and was co-funded by the government is now available as a demo.
Since we are in Europe, we can't play it. But locals report that it kinda works, looks ok, and obviously lags more than Dragon's Dogma 2 (thanks to Unreal Engine 5). Anyway, people expected something worse due to the extremely short development cycle.
But the release date is set to April 4 which guarantees that it will not be fixed at launch.

Gamers Nexus provided in-depth review on Dragon's Dogma 2 performance: not only what but also why. The game reviews on Steam are at 51% overall due to technical issues and greed — even fast travel is a paid DLC.

The location, usually used for the biggest video game expo in Moscow (in Autumn), has been attacked by terrorists this evening. The expo itself takes place in October but thousands of people were in the mall and concert hall areas.
We express our condolences to all those affected and condemn the violence.
Famous Apex Legends hacker gained access to computers of high-ranked esports players right when they were playing on a championship and streaming, and enabled cheats on their computers.
He claimed that it's possible due to security issues of Apex servers and the app itself. Technically, the app is gaining fairly high level of access to players' computers and he found a way to install any software remotely to any player's computer when this player is online in Apex.
Some security professionals doubt this specific way of injection and suggested that both players got their computers infected any other way (for example, via sponsorship deals malware).
But the same issue with remote access happened with Dark Souls 3 (and to fix this the whole game went offline for 6 months). Which let us to conclude: hacker's statement is possible.
This is how #NVIDIA is growing so fast: they are no longer a gaming hardware company

Helldivers 2, Ubisoft, EA, Dead by Daylight, NBA2K, Minecraft, Destiny, Diablo IV and GTA V were all down for a few hours. Not a gaming night, huh! The majority of connection issues were spotted on #PlayStation.

How you like me now? Warzone has been launched for mobile platforms for real. The previous COD Mobile BR was a joke but this is almost the same Warzone as on PC.
— #Unity has been replaced with IW 9 (Infinity Ward Engine 9) which made possible to draw enormous maps.
— The biggest downgrade is the resolution: it currently can't be set separately from graphics presets.
— The game plays well and has optional auto shooting (if the enemy is in your crosshair)
— Looks good, plays well on my Red Magic 6S Pro with built-in side triggers. Drains battery though.

Cyberpunk we deserve by #NVIDIA and #DISNEY. Fun fact: some robots in the most recent entities of Star Wars on TV are actually robots.

Cascadeur has been updated: in 2024 there are better animations retargeting, animation on baking, animation from video, and more!
Unfortunately, the app is commercial (and free version doesn't have proper export and not allowing commercial usage anymore).

Your games suffer from it too: why clean image isn't what the audience may really need?
— Not everything should be in focus
= Defocus distance and sides
— Not everything perfectly lit
= Wisely add and subtract light
— Good environment isn't perfect
= Make the world dirty and livable
= Use particle effects
= Use volumetric fog
= Use smart materials and decals
— Camera is artificial
= Obstruct view with objects
= Use lens effects wisely
= Watch through frame/glass
= Play with angles
⚠️ Do not use motion blur and chromatic aberration by default, they are causing motion sickness!
