Of all the genres that NetEase has had a hand in publishing, a competitive fast-paced FPS hasn’t yet been one of them. The newly announced FragPunk from Bad Guitar Studio, a subsidiary of NetEase’s ThunderFire Studio, aims to bring the competitive 5v5 gunplay to the masses with a unique twist: Shard Cards. We got to experience the chaotic clash firsthand with a few rounds accompanied by two of the lead developers on the project.

Wccftech recently had the opportunity to get an intimate behind-closed-doors look at Monster Hunter Wilds with a 30-minute gameplay demonstration from the Director of the title himself, Yuya Tokuda. During this hands-off demo, Capcom showcased a selection of early game content, from departing the main village and venturing out into the wilds with a map size that they’re already touting as over two times larger than previous titles and featuring a seamless transition with no loading from camp to quest. As the player Hunter ventures out from the base camp riding on a Seikret, the new pack animal and mount […]

PlayStation 5 Could Never Deliver Proper 8K@60 FPS With HDR Output, but The Xbox Series X Could

Wccftech.com - 0
Despite claims that were proudly displayed on the system's box, the PlayStation 5 could never deliver proper 8K resolution at 60 frames per second with HDR output due to some technical reasons. Commenting on the recent removal of the 8K sticker from the console's packaging, Digital Foundry provided a rather interesting explanation of how a proper 8K resolution output at 60 frames per second with HDR was never going to be a thing for the console. The system's HDMI output is limited to 32 gigabits per second, which is not enough for 8K resolution at 60 FPS unless some compromises […]

Well, about that… the folks at ElAnalistaDeBits have taken the Xbox versions of Hellblade II for a spin, and the results aren’t quite as solid […]
