It’s easy to think ofStar Wars Jedi: Survivorin terms of its predecessor. Fix those, you reckon, and there’s probably a very good game here. Star Wars Jedi: Survivor review Mostly, Jedi: Survivor has fixed all that. Or at least patched it up. There’s much less backtracking this time, thanks to new and plentiful fast travel points. Plus one hard crash - but broadly, those gripes have been tended to. On top of that, Jedi: Survivor’s systems have expanded beyond Fallen Order’s....

Optimised prefs, performance testing and more from DF’s newest contributor. For those wondering, consoles are fixed hardware platforms, so shaders are shipped with the code. Wider ultra-wide aspect ratios are cut back dramatically to 16:9 for cutscenes, but otherwise work pretty well. Loading times are also rapid, in line with the SSD-equipped current-gen consoles. Ultimately I opted for TAA here. Another oddity is how reflections are handled. I did see similar issues on PS5 too, so hopefully a fix can be provided in the future....

To live and dinosaur in LA. Yes, they still terrify me. There’s not even time to reacquaint yourself with the control scheme, either. Instead, we’re instantly thrown into the fray. The problem with Aloy’s new adventure, however, is that she hasn’t learned from the last. but now they feel omnipresent, thanks to the truncated runtime. How strange it is that Guerrilla made such poignant character development entirely optional. It doesn’t matter how much I level up Aloy’s combat prowess, either....

Behind one of gaming’s least helpful trends. It’s unfair to single Tchia out. It offers a wealth of accessibility options. “Miniscule text is by far the most common accessibility complaint,” Hamilton tells me via email. A lack of understanding of typography and its app isn’t exclusive to the video game industry. The erosion of basic design principles is leading to typographic failings throughout the design industry and beyond. But it’s especially glaring in games....

And we have thoughts. For those keeping track, this trailer is the finished product from last week’sleaked footage. Titled “it’s possible for you to do what?! “, the TV spot highlights some of Link’s new abilities, such as Fuse and Ultrahand. We can see Link creating a hovercraft of sorts to coast over the lands of Hyrule. Does this mean towers themselves have changed slightly as well? Secondly, this trailer also gives us a glimpse of a new, dark area....

A fresh plate of steaming hot crab on the floor? Look for that podcast to air the week of 10th May. We had the first Emma’s Adventures column a few weeks' back. Case in point, hermaking a fashion boutique in the contested wastelands of Fallout 76. And this time, it’sElden Ringshe’s immersed herself in, with an equally inadvisable idea. Here’s a snippet from the beginning - it’s one of the best introductions I’ve ever read....

Hidden in plain spike. Are you reading this, Muszkatuł Gałkowy? Up yours, you spike-obsessed, wall-faking, bomb-dropping disgrace. I’ll get you. I’ll get you. Oh, sorry everybody! This article began life as an expletive-filled Xbox Live message. It’s sort of Mad Max by way of Warhammer 40,000. Meet Your Maker’s base-building is as intuitive as the average base is nightmarish. Indiana Jones would have a really bad day here. I’m currently on my 15th attempt....

And what is the gayest sport? This landmark game’s sequel arrived into a very different landscape from the first. “There weren’t any Western visual novels that looked like what I was trying to make. The closest thing I had as reference was Brendan Hennessy’s 2015 text adventure Birdland. I felt like I was wandering into uncharted territory. Or like I was driving to a restaurant I’d never seen before, without GPS....

Qui-Gon to the dogs. In the first three Star Wars movies, the Jedi and Sith are dwindling embers. The film’s opening act is basically a 30-minute-long rockstar kneeslide. The lightsaber fights are often called its redeeming feature. Indeed, I think it’s a superior realisation of certain of the film’s supporting principles. Jedi Power Battles isn’t a triumph, by any stretch. He fights one-handed, slicing horizontally and vertically with contemptuous flicks of the wrist....

From Quake 2 to Cyberpunk in just four years - this is how it was done. The question is, how? It managed to initiate the game rather well at around 1080p, capable of 60fps with room to spare. Developers are working hard to increase efficiency on the software side too. The story has to begin somewhere though and the advances in the latest graphics hardware are impressive. For example, each new Nvidia architecture has respectively doubled the triangle intersection testing throughput in the RT core....
