The longer you go as a video game franchise, the longer you’ll get to tell the story you desire, or the longer you get to impress gamers with your gameplay stylings and how you can improve things over time. For the Metal Gear Solid franchise, it’s always been about the story. Even from the game’s earliest days, you had deep stories and characters that helped make the game stand out from the crowd. The franchise is over 35 years old as a whole, but the “Solid” side is 25 years old, which got the PlayStation Blog to do a franchise breakdown.
Phenomenal retro FPS Dusk is getting an HD overhaul for its fifth anniversary
02.10.2023 - 09:53 / techradar.com
Dusk, a retro throwback shooter inspired by genre legends like Quake and Blood, is getting an HD overhaul in time for its fifth anniversary on Steam.
The update, known simply as Dusk HD, was confirmed via a teaser trailer posted to publisher New Blood Interactive's YouTube channel. The update is completely optional, but will completely revamp Dusk's textures, enemy and weapon models, as well as provide an overall cleaner image that should look great on modern displays.
The Dusk HD teaser trailer doesn't provide concrete a release date, but does state it's coming «on the fifth anniversary of Dusk,» which implies it'll land on December 10, 2023. A more comprehensive trailer will be released on October 31, too, as a nice little Halloween treat.
The Dusk HD update isn't just a visual overhaul, either. It'll launch alongside official SDK and mod support. Additionally, all the game's assets will be available to download via Steam Workshop, which likely means we're going to start seeing hundreds — if not thousands — of custom levels for one of the best FPS games in years.
There's currently no word as to whether the Dusk HD update will reach its console versions on PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and Nintendo Switch. But it'd certainly be nice to see a version of the game with slicker visuals displayed on the best gaming TVs.
Dusk is quite special in the retro FPS space because it's much more than just a graphical callback. The game features stellar level design in gorgeous and creative environments, alongside a large cast of nightmarish enemies to blast back to the hells they crawled from. It comes highly recommended if you're looking for a super-polished horror FPS experience that successfully marries design sensibilities both old and new.

"So this is home now?": World of Warcraft, Call of Duty, Starfield, and more collide in the utterly bizarre trailer Xbox made for its Activision deal
The fact that Xbox even made a trailer celebrating the closure of its Activision Blizzard acquisition, like it's the last big hitter of an E3 showcase, is bizarre enough, if unsurprising. But the sheer, goggle-eyed, 'Let's hear it for capitalism' chest-beating of the thing is, well, I wish I could say otherworldly, but absolutely strange to say the least.

IPhone 17 To Reportedly Adopt Resin Coated Copper Foil For Its PCBs, Freeing Up Valuable Internal Space For Additional Hardware
The limited space of a smartphone can often be daunting for companies as they have to work out new techniques to cram in as much technology and features as possible. One method Apple is reportedly employing in an attempt to free up space is the adoption of RCC or resin copper coated foils for iPhone PCBs. Unfortunately, one analyst claims that we are not expected to witness this change until the iPhone 17, and there are several reasons that prevent the company from transitioning to this material almost immediately.
