The game whose announcement made BlimBlim cry is now officially available everywhere. Shenmue III is obviously not a triple A game, and those who naively believed that a rather limited budget would be enough to compete what the biggest publishers can do today are bound to whine in the days to come. This sequel to the all cult classic series on Dreamcast is faithful to the two original games, which will undoubtedly feel dated to younger players, who probably won't realize that this third installment is way more detailed in terms of visuals. Now of course, it shouldn't be compared to the most technically impressive games out there, there would be no point in doing that. We don't know yet if the game's story will be engaging enough to keep the fans interested, but we hope to find out soon.
Note: We'll try to add 4K footage as soon as possible.

As it is usually the case with EA, we can only count on our personal EA Access Premier subscription to be able to offer you a bit of gameplay of their games in due time. Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order didn't unlock a few days before the official launch, contrary to all the other games, so we only had time to record the first 11 minutes this morning, just before heading to work. Inside you will find a video of the PC version in 4K and with all settings set to epic. The reviews which have been published are pretty positive, so we might be faced with the first solid Star Wars solo game in years.
Update: 2 more PC videos added.

Today Crytek released a benchmark dedicated to Ray Tracing. It's called Neon Noir Ray Tracing Benchmark and you need to open a Crytek account to download it with their own launcher. It's a very short benchmark (1min30) but it's still gorgeous as you're about to find out. With our configuration (i9 9900K @ 4.9Ghz & RTX 2080Ti), the benchmark remains above 100 fps when set to ultra in 1440p while 4K ultra struggles a bit more with around 40 fps. In 4k and very high settings, framerate stays between 55 and 60 fps, which isn't bad at all considering how great it looks. Check out our videos and let us know what you think.

Playing Red Dead Redemption 2 in native 4K on PC is not a piece of cake, even if you own the best graphics card and best CPU of the market. The game is very generous when it comes to graphics settings, but Rockstar included a bunch of presets to choose from. We gave the balanced preset a try to see if it would allow us to enjoy native 4K and a perfectly smooth framerate (some options are even set to low on that preset, among which lighting quality). In gameplay, it is pretty much the case, except for some close-ups during the muddy and rainy fight against the colossus outside the saloon, but cutscenes see a few frame drops. We only had time to try the preset in Valentine and in the wild so we're bound to encounter areas where framerate will suffer, but what is certain is that playing in native 4K offers much crisper background landscapes compared to playing with an 80% resolution scaling and most settings set on high and medium (and a couple on ultra).

Our coverage of Death Stranding is now over, so it's your turn to give your feedback on the game if you've chosen to give it a go. If you're still hesitating, you might want to watch the replay of yesterday's livestream, which should at least show you how the game plays/ There are no story related spoilers so don't be afraid, you're safe with us.

Need for Speed Heat seems to be like a sort of collection of some of the features found in previous episodes, with races during the day which are reminiscent of Pro Street and night ones which are closer to Underground in terms of visuals and will allow you to compete on more open road segments with cops trying to ruin your car. There is car customization, you can also create your own liveries and modify the sound of your exhaust pipe. It's obviously very arcadey as you can even ram trees and the concrete pillars of some Bridges, but it's meant to a specific audience, one that is not too picky when it comes to plots and characters.

We're back with the PC version of Red Dead Redemption 2 and a mix of ultra, high and medium settings this time. We also set resolution scaling to 80% so it's not native 4K anymore but at least, the framerate seems rock solid for now. We'll keeping searching for the best possible settings with the best possible image quality, so stay tuned.

It's been almost a week since our review of Death Stranding came out, but we wouldn't want you to feel our coverage hasn't been thorough enough so we have a bunch of gameplay videos to share today. Since tomorrow is the official launch date for the game, we'll also be live tonight for a short presentation of the game from 8:45 CET to 9:45. Don't hesitate to join us if you have questions or simply want to hear BlimBlim's sexy French accent.

Red Dead Redemption 2 is now available on PC but those who thought they were going to enjoy high frame rates with ultra settings will have to think twice before they launch the game. You see, this port has clearly been built for the future and as Nvidia stated yesterday, it's demanding as hell if you want to push everything to the maximum. We've tried the ultra settings with a 66% resolution scaling and our RTX 2080 Ti struggles to maintain frame rate above the 40s at times when some effects kick in. We'll need more time to tweak the settings to find the best results for us, but until then, here are 2 videos we recorded tonight.

After our 4K PC video, here is The Outer Worlds on Xbox One X with the first 40 minutes of the game. You can discover character creation, skills attribution, some fights and landscapes.
