It's "Jet Force Gemini 2: Revenge of the Tribal": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BXHJ9ZOVeK0 Considering what a masterpiece JFG was, this doesn't look *that* exciting to me, but at the same time it's nice that we're getting something new in this direction. It's also made by ex-Rare folks, so here's...

Turok 1 & 2 remasters. Pretty nice remasters of these classic N64/PC dinosaur slaying (yeah, I feel sorry for them a bit... ) FPS games. A "thumbs up" from me.

All this reminds me of trying to run Halo with a Geforce 4 MX....

Doom 3 ran on it too:

On the other hand, this is the first time a game is actually pushing the PC past it's limits since Crysis from back in 2007. Not really, at least I don't think it's doing so any more than the other games that support RTX in some fashion. They all need a 20 series card with it turned on, but work on...

I'd be surprised if there weren't home brew/mod remasters of Q2 out there already (on Quake 3 or Doom 3 engines for example). Indeed they are. Quake II XP and Quake II Berserker are two examples, but there's also Yamagi Quake II, Quake II Pro and several other source ports out there. Digital Foundr...

I have to agree - it's a great tech demo for cutting-edge PC hardware, but leaves quite a lot to desire as a remaster.

It's out since the 6th and as expected it's melting the best PCs out there. It seems it's more impressive for programmers, computer scientists and hardware enthusiasts than it is for, usually younger and less knowledgeable, gamers, since the performance hit and hardware requirements are quite massiv...

As before, I've no arguments about its value as a tech demo. Still, like you say, when the price of entry is a £300 graphics card, it being a "free" game seems rather moot. Well, real-time ray tracing is kinda the whole point here so it requiring the type of hardware that can pull it off seems sens...

To qualify that a bit further you could contrast it with the sort of graphical makeover that the likes of Resi 2 and the forthcoming Link's Awakening. They look like thoroughly modern games, albeit without ray tracing, rather than a very old one with some flashy effects tacked on. Those are full pr...

More games have been announced for the Genesis so far, and it looks like they will have MEGA-CD and 32X add ons MCD and 32X games would be nice, as they tended to get the better versions of games and several worthy exclusives (e.g. Space Harrier 32X [almost Arcade-perfect port], After Burner 32X [s...

Out for free today for all owners of Ultimate Doom (you need a modern source port like GZDoom to run it):

The fancy lighting does look at odds with the low poly models.... The weapon models are new/high-poly and the textures are "HDfied", the enemy models and scenery are the same though. Personally, I like a mix of "low-poly" with higher quality lighting and sharper textures. It's about as good as it c...

You can already buy it - boxed version and gameplay can be seen here:

Trailer is out:

Free update for all owners of Steam version of Quake II and a RTX Nvidia card (and GTX 10x0 series which support RT).

^ Great game for sure, the closest to a modern-day "Diddy Kong Racing" imo. Pure Sega fan service too.
