The vibrant colors, fluid character animations, and meticulously detailed environments create a world that is both…

Modders released a full remake of Vice City in Grand Theft Auto IV. It might just be one of the biggest labours of love in gaming, so of course Rockstar tried to shut it down. Within about 30 seconds of installation, you’ll know why. There’s something amusing about s company as large and respected as Rockstar (or parent coming Take-Two) feeling threatened by a few of their fans. But after showing the project on YouTube, the Vice City NextGen Edition…

I’ve never been a man who needs much of an excuse to replay Sonic Adventure, but here’s a good one anyway. The Dreamcast classic has RTX Remix support – and it’ll test your PC like a near 30-year-old game never should.

A little over a week ago, Nvidia announced its new graphics cards would support multiple frame generation. That is for every single “real” rendered frame, the card will generate two or more additional frames. For some of us it was old news – we’d already been living the dream thanks to Lossless Scaling. This is a cheap, simple app available through Steam that enables you to play almost anything with additional frames. As though to add insult to injury when…

With the announcement of the 5000 series of graphics cards this week, there was an odd reaction. Even the highest end 5090 – £2,000 or more – wasn’t enough. The talk about “real” rendering vs processing like DLSS and frame generation came to a head in PC spaces.

That…
