Soon after Silent Hill 2, another game will try to scare us to us, this time in a universe movie fans will be familiar with. A Quiet Place: The Road Ahead will indeed get released on October 17 on PlayStation 5, PC and Xbox Series X|S for €29.99/$29.99/£24.99. We're quite curious to see if the sound mechanic will be used to its full potential to make the experience immersive enough.

Silent Hill 2 will be back soon on PlayStation 5 and PC and though many fans still worry about Bloober Team's ability to deliver with such a legacy to respect, we have chosen to believe they will. Until we can find out, here is a new trailer focused on immersion.

Test Drive Unlimited Solar Crown had a pretty tough release due to the many connection problems players have encountered, preventing them from playing. Sadly, contrary to the first two games in the series, there is no offline mode available and neither the dev team or Nacon have said anything about its possible addition in the future. An importance server maintenance occurred this morning so some of the problems should be fixed but we'll need to wait for the first major update (coming soon) to see if the other issues have been addressed. Performance and optimization fixes will hopefully be part of the package as even the RTX 4080 of GeForce NOW Ultimate seems to struggle with framerate from time to time. We recorded some more gameplay footage of the game to show you, so join us inside and check it out.

Some will probably be disappointed that it's only available on YouTube, but at least this way you're getting a full English presentation of The Plucky Squire where I can share my thoughts about the game. I know I haven't really made any efforts to release content with English comments in the past few months, but we never really had any feedback indicating you enjoyed this type of video. So please, let us know if we should keep making them or if you prefer more raw gameplay footage. Our French video review of Dead Rising is up on the French side, and we didn't have the time to make an English one. That said, if the Gamersyde Offline format is to your liking, I could easily record one for Capcom's game as the embargo for walkthrough videos and streaming lifts tomorrow. Now I can also simply record some footage as I usually do, it's up to you!

Funko Fusion now being available, we are allowed to share some gameplay footage of the game. Inside, you will find a video of the PlayStation 5 version showing the two graphics modes that are included. Now the question is, will the PS5 Pro version be updated to allow for 60 fps and better visual fidelity in a few months?

It was no secret, a PlayStation 5 Pro was bound to get released, with rumors stating it would be for this end of year. Well, the rumors were true, and this new version of the console embarking a 2TB SSD will even be available sooner than some expected, as it will ship on November 7 2024. That's the good news. As for the rest, well, opinions will probably vary. Sony chose to showcase the new console by using "old" PlayStation 5 exclusive, like Rift Apart, Spider-Man 2, Horizon Forbidden West or TLOU Part 2 Remastered, the point being that players will be able to enjoy fidelity modes with higher frame rates. Nice, but will it be enough to make people want to play these games again? Not quite sure. The addition of ray traced reflections during gameplay for GT7 is a lot more interesting, but Hogwarts Legacy seems to still be locked at 30 fps with ray tracing. It's a shame more recent releases such as Star Wars Outlaws or Black Myth: Wukong were not mentioned, let alone future exclusive AAA by PlayStation Studios.That said, the worst surprise of the event was obviously the pricing, though we all expected the Pro to be expensive. Still, $699/€799/£699 is a lot of money, especially considering there is no disc drive and no stand... It's a risky bet in our opinion. What do you guys think?

It took us long enough but here is finally our PlayStation 5 coverage of Black Myth: Wukong in all graphics modes. Sadly, none of them are satisfactory in our opinion, mainly because of unsteady frame rates and, in some of them, disappointing image quality. Obviously, with a game that demanding, it's not surprising to see compromises on a console, but we believe there should at least be an option to cap the framerate at 30 in Quality mode (provided the game is properly frame paced). A 40 Hertz mode would also be a welcome addition instead of the current Balanced mode, but something should also be done to image quality to make it more appealing. The Performance mode isn't steady enough, which again is understandable to some extent with all the game is trying to do, but we also hope there is a way to improve image quality a bit. All this is all the more frustrating as the game is very engaging, combat is satisfying and the game world is exciting. Level design is a bit of a letdown though, but this is partly due to the use of awkward invisible walls - on a side note, it's also very annoying to see an enemy can push the hero over the edge of a cliff while it's impossible for to jump to his death on purpose, letting the player believe it's a safe spot to fight. Other than that, it's really a game we'd like to explore more, with improved performance and image rendering ideally.

Let's now take a look at Star Wars Outlaws on GeForce NOW Ultimate as the PC version can take advantage of more advanced technology such as DLSS Direct Illumination, which is close to path tracing, and DLSS ray reconstruction. DLSS DI is sometimes quite taxing though, in some specific spots at least, so it should (and will?) be improved. For some reason, compared to the last Alan Wake 2 video we posted here almost a year ago, our ping went over the roof yesterday.

With all the games which have come out since Star Wars Outlaws and the coverage we've had to take care of, we haven't been able to make good use of the two codes Game Science kindly sent us when Black Myth: Wukong launched on August 20. It's also true we ere unavailable for some time because of the summer holidays, and for that, we apologize. We'll have some PlayStation 5 coverage as soon as possible but for now, we'll start with the PC version on GeForce NOW Ultimate. We might make another one with optimized settings if we can find the time. On a side note, it's crazy to think that the game has sold 18 million copies so far. Hats off!

Space Marine 2 is obviously quite a demanding game on PC, so for those of you who do not wish to spend their hard-earned money on a powerful PC, NVIDIA's GeForce NOW Ultimate is probably the way to go. The service doesn't come cheap of course, but it's less far less expensive than buying a recent config.
