This week's launch of NVIDIA DLSS 4.5, following the company's traditional CES keynote, has been yet another monumental step for the technology. Now available via a new driver and NVIDIA App update, every game that supports previous versions of the technology can take advantage of the 2nd-generation Transformer model to enjoy superior image quality, which often matches or even surpasses that delivered by native resolutions in both older games like Red Dead Redemption 2 and in newer titles like Sandfall Interactive's celebrated role-playing game Clair Obscur: Expedition 33. A new comparison video shared by Bang4BuckPC Gamer on YouTube puts the Game of the Year […]

While Final Fantasy VII often dominates the spotlight, its 1994 predecessor, Final Fantasy VI, remains the "holy grail" for many long-term series fans. It pioneered the "magiteck" aesthetic and delivered one of gaming’s most chilling antagonists in Kefka Palazzo. However, if a modern reimagining of Terra’s story ever breaks ground, it won't be under the direction of the man who spent the last decade rebuilding Midgar and the world of Gaia In a new interview with GamerBraves, Hamaguchi-san talked about his love for Final Fantasy VI: "I grew up admiring Final Fantasy VI and VII as a child, and they […]

One of the most significant flaws of Monster Hunter Wilds when it launched earlier this year was the low challenge level offered by the launch content. The general consensus on this issue wasn't fueled by the opinion of veteran players only. Myself, a hunter far from being a series veteran, found the game way too easy, and with the launch endgame not offering anything significantly challenging, I left the game behind, returning to Monster Hunter Rise Sunbreak for my Monster Hunter fix. However, the game's producer claims that this issue has been resolved, urging lapsed players to return to the […]

Although its popularity doesn't reach the heights of other established series like Final Fantasy and Dragon Quest, the Octopath Traveler franchise is proving to be rather seminal for the JRPG genre as a whole, mainly thanks to its HD-2D visual style which has been employed to great success in other titles, including the tactical role-playing game Triangle Strategy, the upcoming action role-playing game The Adventures of Elliot: The Millennium Tales, and remakes of classic games such as the first three entries in the Dragon Quest series and in Star Ocean: The Second Story R, remake of the second entry in […]

Those who still have to purchase a Nintendo Switch 2 can rest easy, for the time being, as Nintendo expects the console's price to remain stable, unless significant changes occur. Speaking during a shareholders' Q&A session, Nintendo's president Shuntaru Furukawa touched upon the system's price, saying that the company expects to "maintain the current level of profitability for hardware for the time being unless there are significant changes in external factors, such as a shift in tariff assumptions, or other unexpected events." While the danger of a price increase caused by the rising prices of certain components remains a risk, […]
