In case you don't know, Gamersyde sometimes receives games we haven't requested, and though we do our best to cover them so you can get enough variety in terms of content, it's not always possible for us to either find the time to do so or we are not comfortable enough with the genre to dare. With Monster Steel Titans 2, we can't say we had been particularly interested in Monster Trucks prior to being sent a PS4 review key, but because releases are pretty scarse these days we figured why not. This sequel adds a brand new online multiplayer mode and 5 new open maps to explore but it obviously features all the events the fans have come to expect from the Bigfoot as they are called. It's a shame no PS5 or Xbox Series X/S versions have been developed though, as framerate remains limited to 30 frames per second and resolution to 1080p, which clearly shows on a 4K screen. The game is still developed by Rainbow Studios (Splashdown on PS2 and the MX vs. ATV series) and it seems pretty effective as an arcade racer, but again, we're not seasoned Monster Truck drivers so don't take our opinion for granted. That being said, we're quite sure the fans of the first episode will be happy.

New Outriders demo is now available on Xbox family consoles, on PS4/PS5 and also PC. After our PC videos captured during a preview last year, here is a Xbox Series X video from the demo, in 4K.
Update: New video added

The Nintendo Switch is getting ready to welcome the port of Hellpoint, which came out on PC, PS4 and Xbox One a few months ago now. The game has an average score on Metacritic but some players really enjoyed it so we've recorded the first 18 minutes of the adventure so you can see how it runs On Nintendo's console. Enjoy!

Ghosts 'n Goblins Resurrection will come out in a few days on Nintendo Switch but we've had enough time with it to go crazy already, especially on the 2 hardest difficulty settings, namely Knight and Legend. Although the new co-op feature makes the game a lot easier than the previous episodes in the series, the single-player experience remains quite demanding as you can imagine. We have no seasoned Ghost 'n Goblins players in the team despite the fact that some of us are getting pretty old now, so don't expect to see any skills in action in the following video. Its sole purpose is to showcase the 4 difficulty settings available in this new opus in the series.

Here's another video from a game released by NIS America, this time featuring Ys IX Monstrum Nox captured on PS5.

Developed by Omega Force, Persona 5 Strikers will be available soon. We've captured the first 40 minutes of the game on PS5.

As usual, we encountered a bunch of issues when trying to capture 120 fps footage but we finally nailed it (at least we think so) on PS5. Now obviously with the known issue the console's video output has in SDR, videos are still darker than they should with crushed blacks but since it's not our fault, we figured we could post the following videos of Nioh Remastered - The Complete Edition and DiRT 5. In the future, we'll increase the in-game bright ess to try and compensate, just like Digital Foundry does, but this time it will have to do. Inside, you won't find all 120 fps games on PS5, one because we don't own them all and two, because of the time it would require to do it. That being said, if you're interested, we'll add some more in the upcoming weeks and will try to make it work on Xbox Series X too. Except for the FPS videos, for which we created streams, the others need to be downloaded and played on a compatible device to be fully enjoyed.

Little Nightmares II will be available in a couple of days on PC, PS4, Xbox One and Nintendo Switch (with PS5 and Xbox Series X/X versions to be released later this year). Since we were kindly sent a review code a few days ago, we have prepared 2 4K videos showing extracts from 2 (out of 5) chapters. If you have any questions regarding the game, don't hesitate to leave a comment. If not, simply enjoy the high quality footage!

Bravely Default II is coming on Nintendo Switch on February 26 and we were able to capture a few minutes of gameplay from the very beginning of the adventure.

God of War is not the only last gen title to have been granted a next gen patch. Tom Clancy's The Division 2 now runs in 4K on Xbox Series X (and almost 4K on PS5) with a (generally) smooth 60 fps framerate (we noticed a few drops when reaching the rooftops in the first single player mission). Pop-up of small objects remains an issue though, at least for us. Check out our video of the game running on Microsoft's powerful machine.
