This is a horror story in the purest sense - it’s gloriously wretched, haunting stuff. In the course of the war, one of the computers becomes sentient and combines with the other two. It then exterminates all of humanity except for five people, who it spends the next hundred-odd years torturing....

“Nothing has happened yet” with a potential Split Fiction movie. In Hollywood, nothing is ever certain, and that’s something that Fares firmly believes. “I believe it when I see it, because nothing has happened yet,” Fares toldVariety. Sometimes there’s a lot of talks, but nothing happens. So we will see." This doesn’t necessarily mean a Split Fiction movie will happen soon, or ever. Before making games, Fares made movies.

Assassin's Creed Shadows PC: the best settings for smooth performance and ray traced visuals

Even mainstream GPUs can handle the game’s cutting-edge effects. Some controls tweaks still require a full game reload, while toggling other options can have strange performance impacts.

So, what’s the problem with PlayStation? If you have a VRR-compatible panel, you may have access to a refresh rate monitor....
