That sucks. R.I.P. Rob Reiner and his wife.
Yeah, the voice acting was awful. They should remove it altogether; text dialogue would be better.
Journey wasn't nearly as good as the original, but I still had a lot of fun with it. That being said, I haven't played it over 15 years, so I don't know if it still holds up or not. I'd still rather have a remaster than not, though.
What's it like?12/15/25 - Nintendo has technically revised the HDR configuration of the Switch 2 in TV mode with a current system update, thus fixing a central problem of the previous image output. According to video expert Vincent Teoh of HDTVTest, the update significantly improves the accuracy and intelligibility of HDR calibration.
At the market launch, analyses had shown that many users received a washed-out image with cropped highlights. The reason for this was a calibration process that was difficult to understand, in which the maximum brightness had to be estimated on the basis of clicks on the first setting screen.
Nintendo has now adapted this approach: When calling up the HDR menu, the actual peak brightness value in nits can be displayed at the touch of a button. Each change corresponds to exactly 10 nits, regardless of whether 1,000, 4,000 or up to 10,000 nits are set. This eliminates a large part of the previous inaccuracy. The so-called Paper White setting, which defines the reference white value for medium areas of the image, has also been corrected. The default value is now around 300 nits instead of 500 nits previously, resulting in better tracing and higher perceived dynamics.
For displays with HGIG support, it is recommended to enable this feature and adjust the peak brightness until the reference symbol disappears. Without HGIG, 1,000 nits peak brightness and 200 nits paper white are considered a practical orientation. Overall, the update makes it much easier to display HDR correctly on TVs, monitors and projectors.
14.12.25 - A new Alien game is apparently in the works. This is reported by Insider Gaming, citing several sources familiar with the project.
According to them, it is a single-player arcade survival horror game set on a decaying space station. Players will have to deal with both Xenomorphs and Special Forces. The sources describe the current concept as a mixture of survival horror and action-oriented exploration.
According to Insider Gaming, development has been underway since at least 2020 under changing project names. In the meantime, the project was considered discontinued after it had changed developers several times. Internal documents from that year now show Eidos Montreal as the responsible studio. The game combines combat, platforming elements and puzzles. These include repairs of technical systems or the decryption of codes. The enemy AI is supposed to adapt to the behavior of the players and react tactically.
Internal documents name at least three characters: The main role is played by the engineer Aubrey, who uses tools such as grappling hooks and magnetic boots. Another character is Ryuzo, who controls the space station and apparently acts as an antagonist. In addition, Ripley 8 appears. Internally, there is hope to win Sigourney Weaver for this role. According to the report, there are no concrete commitments
The current budget is less than USD 75 million, significantly higher than an earlier forecast of around USD 30 million. The release period is currently 2028 for all major platforms. According to sources, the development is still in an early phase. Eidos Montreal and its parent company Embracer did not comment on this and have not confirmed the report.
Turn on HGIG
Set the first screen to what your TV's advertised peak brightness is.
Set the second screen to five clicks from the left.
Play games.
Lol just AI googled the peak hdr brightness of my TV and hdr settings.
For a start the brightness varies, some getting 880 peak brightness and other modes having 2000 nits. So that's helpful (sarcasm)
Then the hdr settings list is ridiculous with tons of different options. That doesn't even include what you have to set your console to.
The story and characters are sad and kind of dark, but there's a lot of black humor that cuts through that and will make you laugh. As far as the adventure itself, it's more of a walking simulator than a real adventure game. You don't really figure out a lot of puzzles, but you are frequently in situations where you have to make a choice. Your choices have consequences, and I believe guide you to what kind of ending you get in the game. It's also pretty short, at only 3 hours. I'm about halfway through right now. But because of the length and the consequences of your choices, they do recommend two playthroughs to see everything.
Theres a FF 7 remake demo on the eshop for anyone interested.
I was going to get it, but watching reviews I'm not convinced I like the setting.
I'd prefer to play the one in London.
16.12.25 - Larian Studios has sold more than 20 million units of Baldur's Gate 3 (PS5, Xbox Series, PC) worldwide. CEO Swen Vincke confirmed this in an interview with Jason Schreier from Bloomberg. The game first launched on 03.08.23 for PC, followed by PS5 (06.09.23) and Xbox Series (07.12.23).
16.12.25 - According to South Korean media reports, AMD plans to have chips manufactured at Samsung Foundry in the future. This is reported Hardwareluxx.de. This is not a complete switch from TSMC, but a complementary production option.
The focus is apparently not on the production of Radeon series graphics cards or new Ryzen processors, but potentially on the semi-custom chip for the PlayStation 6 or, if necessary, for the Xbox Next. The background is that TSMC cannot currently offer additional capacity, while Samsung would offer the opportunity to produce chips that balance price and performance.
AMD's delivery of the PlayStation 6 chip to Sony has been officially confirmed, with the console expected to launch at the end of 2027. It remains unclear whether Samsung will actually receive the production order, as the order requires millions of chips of consistent quality.
Alternatively, AMD could use the announcement to put pressure on TSMC to reach a faster agreement for the production of the PlayStation 6 chips; TSMC has already produced the chips of the PlayStation 5.
