Microsoft Flight Simulator remains a very demanding game even limiting the graphics to high and when using a resolution scaling setting set to 70%. We're taking you for a short flight in Paris, with a quick detour in the southern suburbs where I live in the very beginning. Oddly enough, I find the pop-in more visible now than it used to be at launch, but maybe that's just me getting old and forgetting such minor details...
Update: One video added, this time focusing on the west of France.

Microsoft Flight Simulator just got a new update improving some locations or monuments in France, Belgium, Luxemburg and the Netherlands. We should have some Gamersyde footage to share with you soon but until then here are 2 official 4K videos of the game and a few screenshots.

Square Enix today revealed exciting new details for FINAL FANTASY VII INTERGRADE, the enhanced version of FINAL FANTASY VII REMAKE on PS5. The team revealed the official title for the new episode featuring Yuffie as FF7R EPISODE INTERmission, and introduced new information on the episode’s main character, Yuffie Kisaragi, as well as the talented English voice cast behind the new characters for this new episode.

Outriders has been plagued with connectivity issues ever since it launched and it's a real shame because despite some flaws, it's really a fun game to play, even on one's own. We really enjoy building our character, modding our armor and weapons and choosing our skills so that it all fits our playstyle, there is a real sense of progression in that regard. Gunplay is also very satisfying and if it were not for the issues we sometimes encounter with the cover system and the fact that we're not too fond of the rolling movement, we wouldn't have anything to complain about when it comes to the gameplay mechanics. The story and game world may not be particularly original, but it's enough to keep us going despite the lackluster cutscenes and the dated character faces. That being said, there really is no excuse for the online problems the game has been having, especially for those who wish to play on their own. Something Game Pass owners might be able to accept for now, but that all those who purchased their own copy on day one understandably find it very difficult to accept. Let's hope the first big patch announced for next week will finally allow everyone to play normally.

After our video of the PS4 version a few months ago, here are the first 40 minutes of The Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel IV on Nintendo Switch.

Harold Halibut may not be the first story-driven adventure game based on stop-motion animation but it features such a great level of detail and smooth animations that it is bound to draw attention. German developer Slow Bros. has yet to announce a specific release date on PC, PS4 and Xbox One, but rest assured we'll keep you posted as we definitely want to give it a try.

Lets continue our video coverage of Oddworld: Soulstorm, this time with the PC version, which is exclusively available on the Epic Game Store for now. Inside you will find the cutscene which follows the end of the first section of the adventure followed by long videos showing the entirety of the second level. Enjoy!

Oddworld: Soulstorm is now available to all PS+ members on PS5, so we took this opportunity to record the beginning of the game. We're showing you the 60 fps introduction as well as the first level in which Abe has to escape the cave where he and his followers have been hiding since the end of the previous episode. Our stream system is back by the way, Blim must have missed a couple of emails warning him about the issue as he apparently wasn't aware of the problems we were having. Thankfully, everything is now working as it should, so thanks again for your patience.

Since our stream system is stil out of order and that I'm getting no answer as to whether or not it will eventually be fixed, here is an HDR video, which cannot be streamed with our player and must be downloaded. We recorded the Xbox Series X version as the game is included in the Game Pass, but the level shown here was not featured in the demo.

A couple of days ago we learned that a free update would allow us to play Ratchet & Clank with a butter smooth 60 fps framerate. We were told it would come in April but it became available yesterday, and to those who didn't know, it's still possible to get the game for free until today March 31 if you haven't already. It's be foolish not too considering how gorgeous it looks and how much better it plays now.
