For a very long time, it was rumored that Bluepoint Games was working on a Bloodborne remaster for modern hardware, but dreams of seeing Yharnam in all of its haunting glory on PlayStation 5 were crushed by the studio's unfortunate closure last week. Still, PC players can enjoy the classic FromSoftware action role-playing game with a slew of improvements on PC, thanks to the ShadPS4 emulator and the Bloodborne Remaster Project by fromsoftserve, which was updated this week to a new version featuring some major overhauls. The modding project's 0.99.2 version biggest changes involve modified classic gparams, bringing the art […]

Although Sony has brought some of its biggest PlayStation 5 games to PC, there are still a few that have yet to make the jump, such as Gran Turismo 7. While there is no indication of the game ever making the jump to other platforms (although a GeForce NOW leak from September 2021 seemed to suggest a PC version was in the cards), Sony and developer Polyphony Digital reportedly had it run on the system least expected to receive a port: the Nintendo Switch 2. Speaking during a recent episode of the Games Mess Decides podcast, Jeff Grubb revealed an […]

While it left something to be desired at launch, the PlayStation 5 Pro PSSR upscaler is still very notable tech as it is the first AI-powered upscaler to be available on a home console. In the months since the system's release, the upscaler has been consistently improved to deliver better image quality, and a future version could introduce some significant changes that would prevent frame rate drops in essentially every game. As spotted by Tech4Gamers, Sony Interactive Entertainment filed a new patent on February 4 detailing some new features that could be part of the upcoming PSSR 2.0. Chief among […]

Over the past few months, video gaming has become a rather expensive hobby, with hardware and game prices rising consistently, risking pricing out more and more gamers as the worldwide economic situation remains challenging. However, not every publisher is set to increase prices, and some, like Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 publisher Kepler Interactive, are set to continue employing a pricing strategy that is respectful of gamers' money and time. Speaking with the BBC, Kepler Interactive's CEO Alexis Garavaryan commented on the company's pricing strategy, which has "kind of taken the opposite action" to what most major publishers have done in […]

Final Fantasy VII Remake Part 3, Final Fantasy VII Rebirth Will Target Stable 30 FPS ‘Wherever Possible’ On Switch 2 and Xbox Series S, Director Says

Characters Tifa Lockhart and Aerith Gainsborough from 'Final Fantasy VII Remake Part 3' standing together.

Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade made its debut on Nintendo Switch 2 and Xbox Series consoles in January, and the Switch 2 port in particular has been praised as a solid port that accounts for the system's technical limitations compared to the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X, delivering the best possible experience. With Final Fantasy VII Rebirth and Final Fantasy VII Remake Part 3, however, achieving a high-quality port is definitely going to be more challenging, but the development team is set to deliver a 30 FPS on the weaker platforms, such as the Switch 2 and Xbox Series S, according to the […]
