The PlayStation 5 Pro brings considerable visual and performance improvements in several titles, including Resident Evil Village, Resident Evil 4 remake, Demon's Souls, and others. In the tests conducted by Brazil Pixel, the latest two entries in the CAPCOM survival horror series powered by the RE Engine show considerable performance improvements.

The Resident Evil 4 remake, on the other hand, doesn't reach the same locked 120 […]

Huawei was previously rumored to have been receiving 7nm chip shipments from TSMC, but the only way that could be possible was through proxies. While the Taiwanese semiconductor giant has re-assured that it will take prompt action if found violating the trade sanctions, with Donald Trump being re-appointed as the U.S. President, you can strongly believe that his administration will be locked in on China. According to the latest report, TSMC has notified its Chinese customers through email that all 7nm and below chip shipments will be halted starting next week. Companies that relied on TSMC’s 7nm process and newer […]
Yesterday, BioWare released the first Dragon Age: The Veilguard patch after the game's launch on October 31. The patch, around 1GB in size, is largely focused on a variety of bug fixes: Fixed an issue where DLSS options could end up “grayed-out” on a 40-series Nvidia GPU.

Fixed an issue where some customizations were not applied to the Inquisitor correctly Fixed a bug that caused Companion Skill Points to reset.

Sony has reported its Q2 2024 financial results today, revealing that its PS5 console has now reached 65.5 million units sold. Hardware sales were slightly down year-over-year: whereas 3.8 million PlayStation 5 consoles were sold this past quarter, Q2 2023 saw 4.9 million PS5s sold.

It's been nearly three years since Deadline first reported that Amazon was closing on a deal to adapt Mass Effect into a TV series for its Prime Video channel. Today, Variety says that the deal is finally done, featuring Daniel Casey as the writer and executive producer of the show.

Anyway, Variety also reports that Karim Zreik will executive produce under his Cedar Tree Productions banner. Ari Arad and BioWare's Michael Gamble will […]

Star Wars Jedi: Survivor is notorious […]
Sony has presented the PlayStation 5 Pro as the quinessential mid-generation refresh, boasting far more impressive graphics and fidelity from the base console. At a price point that some gamers will find difficult to justify, Sony has a long road ahead of themselves to prove why gamers need such an impressive graphical powerhouse when a powerful GPU upgrade could be obtained for the same price on PC.
