Title: At Gamescom 2025, NVIDIA DLSS 4 and Ray Tracing Come to This Year’s Biggest Titles Date: Mon, 18 Aug 2025 19:30:01 +0000 Link: https://blogs.nvidia.com/blog/gamescom-2025-dlss-4-ray-tracing/ With over 175 games now supporting NVIDIA DLSS 4 — a suite of advanced, AI-powered neural rendering technologies — gamers and tech enthusiasts everywhere can experience breakthrough performance in this year’s most anticipated titles, including Borderlands 4, Hell Is Us and Fate Trigger. Plus, path tracing is making its way to Resident Evil Requiem and Directive 8020, as well as ray tracing in upcoming releases like Phantom Blade Zero, PRAGMATA and CINDER CITY — enabling crystal-clear visuals for more immersive gameplay “DLSS 4 and path tracing are no longer cutting-edge graphical experiments — they’re the foundation of modern PC gaming titles,” said Matt Wuebbling, vice president of global GeForce marketing at NVIDIA. “Developers are embracing AI-powered rendering to unlock stunning visuals and massive performance gains, enabling gamers everywhere to experience the future of real-time graphics today.” These announcements come alongside a new NVIDIA GeForce RTX 50 Series bundle for Borderlands 4 and updates to the NVIDIA app — a companion platform for content creators, gamers and AI enthusiasts using NVIDIA GeForce RTX GPUs. DLSS 4 Now Accelerating Over 175 Games and Applications Launched with the GeForce RTX 50 Series earlier this year, DLSS 4 with Multi Frame Generation uses AI to generate up to three frames for every traditionally rendered frame, delivering performance boosts of up to 8x over traditional rendering. In addition to Multi Frame Generation, DLSS 4 titles include support for DLSS Super Resolution, Ray Reconstruction and NVIDIA Reflex technology — unlocking incredible performance gains and responsive gameplay for every GeForce RTX 50 Series owner. New titles announced at Gamescom that will support the latest RTX technologies include: Directive 8020 and Resident Evil Requiem, which are launching with DLSS 4 and path tracing Black State, CINDER CITY (formerly Project LLL), Cronos: The New Dawn, Dying Light: The Beast, Honeycomb: The World Beyond, Lost Soul Aside, The Outer Worlds 2, Phantom Blade Zero and PRAGMATA, which are launching with DLSS 4 and ray tracing Borderlands 4 and Fate Trigger, which are launching with DLSS 4 with Multi Frame Generation Indiana Jones and the Great Circle, which in September will add support for RTX Hair, a technology that uses new hardware capabilities in RTX 50 Series GPUs to model hair with greater path-traced detail and realism Many of these RTX titles will also launch on the GeForce NOW cloud gaming platform, including Borderlands 4, CINDER CITY (formerly Project LLL), Hell Is Us and The Outer Worlds 2. NVIDIA App Adds Global DLSS Overrides and Software Updates The NVIDIA app is the essential companion for NVIDIA GeForce RTX GPU users, simplifying the process of keeping PCs updated with the latest GeForce Game Ready and NVIDIA Studio Drivers. New updates to the NVIDIA app include: Global DLSS Overrides: Easily enable DLSS Multi-Frame Generation or DLSS Super Resolution profiles globally across hundreds of DLSS Override titles, instead of needing to configure per title. Project G-Assist Upgrades: The latest update to Project G-Assist — an on-device AI assistant that lets users control and tune their RTX systems with voice and text commands — introduces a significantly more efficient AI model that uses 40% less memory. Despite its smaller footprint, it responds to queries faster and more accurately calls the right tools. Highly Requested Legacy 3D Settings: Use easily configurable control panel settings — including anisotropic filtering, anti-aliasing and ambient occlusion — to enhance classic games. The NVIDIA app beta update launches Tuesday, Aug. 19, at 9 a.m. PT, with full availability coming the following week. NVIDIA ACE Enhances Voice-Driven Gaming Experiences NVIDIA ACE — a suite of generative AI technologies that power lifelike non-playable character interactions in games like Krafton’s inZOI — now features in Iconic Interactive’s The Oversight Bureau, a darkly comic, voice-driven puzzle game. Using speech-to-text technology powered by ACE, players can interact naturally with in-game characters using speech, with Iconic’s Narrative Engine interpreting the input and determining and delivering the pre-recorded character dialogue that best fits the story and situation. This system keeps developers in creative control while offering players real agency in games — all running locally on RTX AI PCs with sub-second latency. The Oversight Bureau launches later this year and will be playable at NVIDIA’s Gamescom B2B press suite. NVIDIA RTX Remix Evolves With Community Expansions and New Particle System NVIDIA RTX Remix, an open-source modding platform for remastering classic games with path tracing and neural rendering, continues to grow thanks to its passionate community. Modders have been using large language models to extend RTX Remix’s capabilities. For example, one modder “vibe coded” a plug-in that connects RTX Remix to Adobe Substance 3D, the industry-standard tool for 3D texturing and materials. Another modder made it possible for RTX Remix to use classic game data to instantly make objects glow with emissive effects. RTX Remix’s open-source community has even expanded compatibility to allow many new titles to be remastered, including iconic games like Call Of Duty 4: Modern Warfare, Knights Of The Old Republic, Doom 3, Half-Life: Black Mesa and Bioshock. Some of these games were featured in the RTX Remix’s $50K Mod Contest, which wrapped up at Gamescom. Painkiller RTX by Merry Pencil Studios won numerous awards, including “Best Overall RTX Remix Mod.” Explore all mod submissions on ModDB.com. At Gamescom, NVIDIA also unveiled a new RTX Remix particle system that brings dynamic, realistically lit and physically accurate particles to 165 classic games — the majority of which have never had a particle editor. Modders can use the system to change the look, size, quantity, light emission, turbulence and even gravity of particles in games.

Title: Watch over 30 minutes of 007 First Light gameplay, launching March 27, 2026  Date: Wed, 03 Sep 2025 18:37:07 +0000 Link: https://blog.playstation.com/2025/09/03/watch-over-30-minutes-of-007-first-light-gameplay-launching-march-27-2026/ We’re thrilled to share an extensive look at 007 First Light, our third-person action-adventure game featuring a fully re-imagined original James Bond origin story. Built in-house at IO Interactive with our Glacier engine, we’re incredibly proud to share this wholly original Bond experience created from the ground up, one that blends the sharp tension of espionage with the bold spectacle the franchise is known for. In this special State of Play, we showcased footage from two missions that highlight the game’s immersive design and cinematic flair. From a covert operation at a high-stakes chess tournament in Slovakia, closing with a high-altitude showdown, to an infiltration of a lavish gala in Kensington, London, these missions offer a glimpse into the living and breathing worlds that Bond will navigate as he discovers the world of espionage. Play Video Play Bond, your way From day one, we’ve designed the game so you can approach your objectives how you want, through what we call the Creative Approach. Maybe you’ll slip in unnoticed and reach your goal without anyone knowing you were there. Maybe you’ll go in loud, using every weapon and gadget at your disposal. Or maybe you’ll use a bit of both, and improvise, turning whatever the situation throws at you into an opportunity.  As part of the Creative Approach, there are different aspects of James Bond’s set of skills that are reflected: Spycraft is your toolkit for the quieter side of the job. You can eavesdrop on conversations for intelligence, lift a keycard from a distracted guard’s pocket, or piece together clues from environmental details others might overlook. Every bit of information can open a shortcut or give you a way around a challenge, or a crowded security room. View and download image Download the image close Close Download this image Instinct is Bond’s natural aptitude in gameplay form, reflecting his quick thinking and adaptability. It’s a limited resource that will fill itself as you take down enemies, complete objectives etc… You can use it to lure a guard toward you for a silent takedown, bluff your way past someone who’s getting suspicious, or give you a bit more time to take the perfect shot during a firefight.  Gadgets from Q Branch are an essential part of your toolkit, giving you plenty of possibilities to tackle each situation you face. You might hack a camera system to clear a path, cut through a locked door with a laser, or distract a guard long enough to slip by. We want them to feel like natural extensions of Bond’s skillset, not just one-off tricks. As you progress through the missions, you will unlock more gadgets, empowering you through your journey to become a fully-fledged spy.  View and download image Download the image close Close Download this image Combat in 007 First Light is built to feel true to Bond, with control, efficiency, and visceral. You’ll swap between precision gunplay and up-close brawls without missing a beat. In tight spaces, Bond can throw an opponent over a railing, smash them against a wall, disarm them in one smooth motion, or use the nearest object to incapacitate them. Melee skills include parries, throws, and takedowns, designed to look cinematic but still feel responsive in your hands. When encounters escalate to lethal force being used, Bond earns his License to Kill, allowing him to use his marksmanship with firearms being thrown into the fight without slowing down. And because gadgets are part of his combat toolkit, you will be able to use them expertly to disorient an enemy before taking him out. The mix of melee, ranged weapons, and gadgets means every encounter feels unpredictable, personal, and very much like stepping into the 007 fantasy. The full Bond experience A feature we’re also very proud to introduce is one of the driving sequences, which will be present throughout the game. As you saw in the gameplay deep dive, you will have to use your skills behind the wheel during high-speed chases and other tense situations to make sure Bond gets to his objectives, especially if he has to take a shortcut. We also wanted to deliver on the action set-pieces that have been part of the franchise’s history and include big moments that reflect the stakes of the world of espionage, including being thrown out of a plane in full flight.  View and download image Download the image close Close Download this image Meet the cast Our introduction to 007 First Light would not be complete without revealing our amazing ensemble cast of voice and motion capture actors, who deliver tremendous performances: Patrick Gibson as James Bond Priyanga Burford as M Alastair Mackenzie as Q Kiera Lester as Miss Moneypenny Lennie James as Bond’s mentor, John Greenway Noemie Nakai as Miss Roth View and download image Download the image close Close Download this image Thank you for joining us for this first real taste of 007 First Light, and we hope you enjoyed it just as much as we had creating it.

Title: Leaked footage of Human Head's long-buried Prey 2 reveals a cyberpunk shooter with a spring in its step Date: Wed, 03 Sep 2025 16:27:16 +0000 Link: https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/leaked-footage-of-human-heads-long-buried-prey-2-reveals-a-cyberpunk-shooter-with-a-spring-in-its-step It’s never too late to get mad about the untimely fate of Human Head Studios’ Prey 2. It helps that people keep leaking videos of the thing. The latest batch includes an opening sequence, a full mission playthrough from an open world, a flythrough of an undercity area, a prototype chase sequence, and scenes of combat. Watch the bulk of them below, and grieve. Alas for Killian Samuels, the beanie-wearing US marshal turned alien bounty-hunter. He looked so humdrum back in 2012, especially when compared to the original 2006 game’s Cherokee protagonist Domasi "Tommy" Tawodi. Still, he has a certain tragic charisma, in hindsight. Read more
