Sonic x Shadow Generations review

It’s also releasingDLC to tie into the film, though that’s not available until December. Enemies are also smartly placed to keep the rhythm going, rather than offbeat interruptions. More importantly, Shadow’s basic moveset is a joy to handle. It’s like Sega’s ideas have at last clicked into place. It’s not all linear levels, though. That’s where Sonic x Shadow Generations, taken as a complete package, starts to fall apart. Side by side, the two campaigns invite comparison and Sonic, quite frankly, cannot compete....

Holstin doesn't hate you, it just loves classic survival horror

Then, I played the combat demo for myself, and came to a major realisation. Holstin isn’t looking to add modern conveniences for an easy win homage to 90s PS1-era survival horror. It can be brutal. Then, I’d die again. Something I never thought I’d say about a survival horror game.

PS5 Pro's PSSR upscaler tested against FSR 3.1 and Nvidia DLSS 3.7 in Ratchet and Clank: Rift Apart

Just one implementation in one game - but the results are compelling. To what extent can PSSR best the FSR-level technology typically used by consoles? And how close is PSSR to the acknowledged state-of-the-art: Nvidia DLSS? First of all, let’s discuss caveats and limitations. For now though, it’s very much just a Ratchet and Clank head-to-head.
