Weekly Dose of Gaming News - Diablo II: Resurrected

Posted by Write Meow · 三月 26, 2021

Reboots of popular classic games are becoming increasingly common, and we're not very surprised that Blizzard is remaking the iconic Diablo II.

Diablo II: Resurrected will give us a chance to play the action RPG that we know and love with updated graphics and controls. Another great function of Diablo II: Resurrected is the new shared stash, so you can share and store items along with your online teammates.

The updated game will also be available to both console and PC gamers with cross-progression so you can jump back and forth to continue your game on either platform. However, there won't be cross-play when the game launches, so we'll be keeping an eye out for the possibility of that function later on.

We can't tell you how excited we are to be able to play through the classic ARPG with modern mechanics and updated graphics. It could easily be argued that Diablo II helped shape the genre as we know it, so it only makes sense that it should get a massive makeover 21 years later.

Are you looking forward to playing Diablo II: Resurrected?

Posted by Write Meow · 三月 23, 2021

The 90s sure was fun. We had weird fashion statements, weird hairstyles, and weird kids cartoons that I'm pretty sure were for adults. But one thing rose above the weird and brought us something rad, hip, and any term the nineties kids used to describe anything remotely cool - the Neo Geo Pocket Color.

Project Horizon is still in development and Indieretronews.com is encouraging players to let them know of any bugs they may stumble across. The full version of the game will be released with a map editor for free, and will include all the source code and tools. It's exciting to see new games being released for the Commodore Amiga, and we can't wait to check it out!

Are you still playing games on the Amiga? Does Project Horizon look like a game you'd be interested in giving a try?

Weekly Dose of Gaming News - Xbox Reveals FPS Boost For Series X

Posted by Write Meow · 三月 12, 2021

Backwards compatibility is one of our favorite features of the Xbox consoles, and now we have even more reason to love it. Microsoft is releasing an FPS boost with the Xbox series X and S, which will allow gamers to play classic Xbox titles at a higher frame rate.

The Xbox series X and S lets you play most games from the Xbox, Xbox 360, and Xbox One. However, the frame rate boost is only available for a few titles at the moment. You can play Far Cry 4, New Super Lucky's Tale, Sniper Elite 4, UFC 4, and Watch Dogs 2 at double to maybe even quadruple the frame rate of the original titles. However, Microsoft plans on extending the function to many more classic Xbox games this year. Framerate boost will also be available to some games on the Xbox Game Pass. This is truly an exciting time for retro game lovers.

If you don't want to boost your frame rates, and you would prefer to immerse yourself in the full on retro experience of playing classic games, you can toggle the function on or off at your leisure. We're excited to see the FPS boost in action with some of our favorite nostalgic Xbox games from the past.

Are you excited about this new function? What are some games you're looking forward to play with boosted frame rates?
