Hideaki Itsuno Wants to Make Something New After Dragon’s Dogma 2 (Which Is as Long as the Original)

About a month ago, the Game Developers Conference 2024 schedule unveiled a new technology called Microsoft DirectSR. As one could easily guess from its name (Direct SuperResolution), it's an attempt to make the implementation of upscalers easier, and it was built in collaboration with all of the main CPU and GPU vendors (NVIDIA, AMD, and Intel).

Two years and a month after Horizon Forbidden West launched on PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5 consoles, PC gamers can finally step into the vast and gorgeous post-apocalyptic Western USA created by Guerrilla Games.

As I mentioned in my Dragon's Dogma 2 review, despite the announcement of NVIDIA DLSS 3 being available at launch, NVIDIA's frame generation technique is nowhere to be found.

Following Nintendo's decision to sue Yuzu, the popular Switch emulator, and the consequent shutdown of the project (with a massive $2.4 million to be paid in damages), two main forks have appeared: Suyu and Nuzu. While the latter turned out to be vaporware, Suyu is a real project with many dedicated developers behind it.

The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim is like the gift that keeps on giving, at least on PC, thanks to the seemingly unending support of skilled modders. One of them is undoubtedly 'doodlez', who made a ton of excellent Skyrim mods, such as the Light Limit fix that introduced unlimited dynamic light sources to the 2011 open world RPG.

There's great news for gamers interested in playing Dragon's Dogma 2 without having a beefy PC: NVIDIA has just announced that CAPCOM's open world game will be available at launch via its GeForce NOW cloud platform. Despite the fact that the previous installment is supported on GeForce NOW, the same was far from a given for the sequel. While the Japanese publisher has agreed to add games like Exoprimal, Resident Evil 2, 3, and 7, and Devil May Cry 5 to GFN, Resident Evil Village and Resident Evil 4 are still nowhere to be seen, and the same goes for Street Fighter 6.

Dragon’s Dogma 2 has arrived, and the game is a bit of beast on pretty much any hardware you’ll play it on. Not only is it a “dynamic” 30fps on current-gen consoles (in other words, often under 30fps) but not even a high end PCs are free from troubles – Wccftech’s reviewer Alessio Palumbo had issues despite rocking an RTX 4090 and a Ryzen 7800X3D. A lack of promised DLSS 3 at launch also means there are limited ways to smooth over the problems.

About a year and a half after the Riven remake's announcement, Cyan Worlds revealed today that the game will launch later this year on PC with support for VR platforms.

Convai, the conversational AI NPC platform for games previously featured in NVIDIA's Kairos demo showcased at CES 2024, just shared a slew of announcements for GDC 2024.

A while back, Fallout TV series creator Jonathan Nolan (who's also directing the first three episodes) likened the upcoming Prime Video show to a non-interactive version of Fallout 5, mainly because it would be an entirely new story set after the events seen in the games.

During the first day of the Capcom Highlights event, the Japanese publisher announced the release of a free character creation tool for Dragon's Dogma 2.

Today, Arrowhead announced a new Warbond called Cutting Edge, which is coming on Thursday, March 14 to Helldivers 2. A Warbond is effectively the game's version of a Battle Pass, in case you didn't know.
