Pretty cool puzzle game :up: I ain't spending hundreds on a PS5 just to play it though.
I saw a Death Stranding 2 trailer as well. Looks like Metal Gear Rex is making a comeback... in silhouette form. Typical Kojima callouts that break the fourth wall eh?
This is one of the best videos I've seen at showing the benefits of advanced ray tracing

Don't even try on anything less than a 3090 or ANYTHING Radeon.
Yeah I played it at 5-10 fps on my 2070.
On the lowest settings :p
Got to the final test chamber and decided I had enough.
Tried Portal RTX on my 3080 Ti Suprim X.
It lagged at times, was really buggy and did not really add whatever incredible RTX feel.
Forgettable, even compared to Quake 2 RTX or Minecraft RTX.
Stick to RTX modern games like Ghost Runner or Cyberpunk 2077 (too bad half the RTX effects are wrong in the game) and so on, or to games with proprietary RT like Crysis 3 Remastered.
I just gave Portal RTX a shot with my 3080. I had to set the graphics to High instead of Ultra and make sure DLSS3 was going, and it seemed like it ran pretty well.
American Football season is almost over, but if you still want that NFL experience and know that Madden has sucked for years....you might have heard there's a modder updated NFL 2K5 for PC and Xbox, called NFL 2K23.
This looks great as I loved the NFL 2K series and Madden has been crap comparatively, other than the updated graphics of course.
Here's a video with details and just the sheer amount of things that could be done in that game. The 2K23 updates graphics, rosters, logos and stadiums for a few teams that moved.

This is where I point out, again, that the 2K series was just as busted if not more busted than Madden was at the time.
For example, the offensive line reacted to the defensive line play you called, NOT where you actually ran. So if you called the spread defensive line movement, but then rushed inside instead, you could get a free run at the QB at every play.
Also, the person that won the NFL 2K national championship that year never threw the ball. He ran the ball with Ricky Williams every single play. It could not be stopped. In general, running backs were overpowered. I vividly remember Rudi Johnson trucking a defensive lineman that ran into him at the same moment he got the handoff. No momentum, no stiff arm, but able to completely run over a ~300 lbs rushing defender.
Then you get into the presentation issues, like how it just picked a random voice for the postgame interviews with players, meaning the voices often didn't make sense and were not the same from game to game for the same player. And it was almost never actually in sync with the animation on the field.
Or that, if a player had a nickname, Chris Berman would say their full name including nickname every single time he referenced them. I heard "Ace Deuce and All of You's McAllister" so many times.
Madden has had and still has plenty of problems, but the people that think 2K was this wonderful gem that was superior in every way have some very rose tinted glasses.
I loved 2k football. I've played a few Madden games since then and they've been pretty bad.
This years seems better though.
