    If Game Developers Steal One Thing From No Law, I Hope It's the Open-World Game's Ridiculously Detailed Corner Shops

    No Law is an open-world immersive sim from Neon Giant and Krafton set in Port Desire, and its 4-Ever Open corner shop is absurdly detailed. Every item on the shelves can be picked up and used, with a shopping basket and running bill shown on screen, and leaving without paying summons the police or leaves a black mark on your reputation. The shops also open and close with the day/night cycle, and killing the owner means the store never opens again.

    Sony Confirms Refined QSSR Upscaler for Base PS5

    Sony is rolling out a new QSSR (Quick Spectral Super Resolution) tool for developers, a refined version of the PSSR tech found on PS5 Pro that lets base PS5 games render at lower resolution and upscale the image. According to Digital Foundry, support is currently limited to Marvel's Wolverine and Ghost of Yotei, both of which are updated today, with the tools to be made available to all developers. Digital Foundry says the quality boost in Marvel's Wolverine is exceptional and that QSSR could approach the speed of the more commonly used FSR 3 upscaler, though more testing is needed.

    Following the lifting of the Gears of War: E-Day review embargo, raw gameplay footage of the Xbox Series X and Series S versions has surfaced, including a Digital Foundry tech deep dive. Series X offers three modes at native 1152p/30FPS, 1000p/40FPS and 936p/60FPS, while Series S runs 729p/30FPS, 648p/40FPS and 576p/60FPS, all upscaled via TSR. Digital Foundry calls it a landmark showcase for Unreal Engine 5, though performance remains rocky in open segments, especially on Series S where the 60FPS mode sees frequent frame-rate drops that 120Hz VRR displays can mitigate.

    Nvidia Says My RTX 4070 Super Can't Do Multi Frame Gen, but This Unofficial Unlock Feels Surprisingly Smooth

    A PC Gamer editor used unofficial ReShade HDR Installer mods to unlock Multi Frame Generation beyond the official 2x limit on an RTX 4070 Super, testing up to 6x MFG. Testing was done at 1440p with High settings and DLSS Balanced, limited to single-player games to avoid anti-cheat detection. In several games, unlocked 4x MFG raised average frame rates well above 2x, such as Black Myth: Wukong Benchmark Tool going from 99 to 170 fps.

    After Eighteen Years of Jaggedy Bowling, a New Mod Bestows GTA 4 With DLSS and FSR Support

    ChunkLeChuck's DLSS IV mod adds DLSS, DLAA, and FSR support to 2008's Grand Theft Auto IV, improving the base game's infamously jagged and shimmering anti-aliasing while remaining HDR compatible. The mod appears to use FSR 3, so it isn't as sharp as Nvidia's tech but should work on any functional GPU from any manufacturer. Warcaco's RTX Remix mod had previously brought DLSS alongside high-rez textures and path tracing, while DLSS IV looks like a lighter, quicker fix.

    Steam Machine handles Control Resonant capably, but promised Steam Deck support is a letdown

    Control Resonant runs at a playable 40-50fps at 1080p on Medium settings on the Steam Machine, but struggles on the Steam Deck, where even the Handheld preset with FSR Performance rarely reaches 30fps. The game also has a 105GB install size and lacked public SteamOS hardware compatibility ratings a day before release. The author does not recommend playing it on the Steam Deck and advises against enabling ray tracing.
