Twitch product manager Jacob Rosok explained the new feature during the latest Patch Notes video on 30th September. [Read More]

They're what gives the game its identity. Games critics try to approach sequels with an understanding of what the franchise in question does well and where it could improve. Plus, most of all, the elements which define it as that type of game. [Read More]

Behind all the benchmarking, the MO for reviewing graphics cards is pretty simple - you figure out how fast the product is and then compare it to rival products of a similar price. But with the AMD Radeon R9 Nano, things aren't so simple - it's a complete one-off and for the time being at least, entirely unique. It commands an extreme price-point because there's nothing else like it and that's what tends to happen in the PC hardware market. [Read More]

 Posted on May 2, 2023  |  2 minutes  |  287 words  |  Trudie Dory

Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night, the Castlevania spiritual successor by Symphony of the Night producer Koji Igarashi, is coming to Switch. That's the good news. The bad is that the Wii U version has been canned. The reason for this is obvious: the Wii U will no longer be contemporary by the time Bloodstained launches in 2018. "During our Kickstarter campaign, the Wii U was at the height of its popularity, but the situation has drastically changed after the release of Nintendo Switch," [Read More]

Face-Off: Alien: Isolation | Eurogamer.net

 Posted on May 2, 2023  |  12 minutes  |  2382 words  |  Arica Deslauriers

First impressions of Alien: Isolation suggested parity between the PS4 and Xbox One versions, with both sporting native 1080p visuals while sharing an extensive range of assets and graphical effects. Performance is an issue though, with PS4 commanding a distinct advantage thanks to a more consistent frame-rate and a complete lack of screen tear. On the basis of those results, it seems like a clear win for Sony's system, but with the game available across no less than five different systems we were also interested to see how Creative Assembly's game translated onto the ageing Xbox 360 and PS3, and of course what benefits the PC version brings.
