ARK 2 Studio Co-Founders Say Vin Diesel’s Character Was Originally a “Nerd” Before Being Retconned

According to Stieglitz, Diesel was a very dedicated ARK player, particularly during the Survival Evolved era. He played for hundreds of hours, just like a professional ARK player.

Crimson Desert PS5 Pro Performance Mode “Surprised” Digital Foundry With “How Good it Was Overall”

Okay, so I’ve been reading up on how Crimson Desert is going to run on the PS5 Pro, and it’s looking pretty cool. Basically, we’ll have three graphics options to choose from. If I want super smooth gameplay, I can pick ‘Performance’ mode – it’ll aim for 60 FPS (or even higher if I have a VRR display), with great ray tracing, but it’ll be rendering at 1080p and then upscaling it to 4K. ‘Balanced’ mode is a middle ground – it’ll upscale from 1440p to 4K, still have good ray tracing, and try to hit around 40 FPS (or over 48 with VRR). And if I really want the best possible visuals, there’s ‘Quality’ mode. That one locks the frame rate at 30 FPS, runs at native 4K, and maxes out the ray tracing. The upscaling tech in ‘Performance’ and ‘Balanced’ is handled by Sony’s PSSR, which should look pretty sharp.

Defunct Netflix Animation Series is Returning (And It’s Sooner Than You Think)

Fans were surprised to see Voltron: Legendary Defender leave Netflix in 2024, especially after its impressive eight-season run. The removal was likely due to licensing agreements, as the show was a collaboration with DreamWorks. Good news for fans, though: a complete DVD box set is now available for pre-order on the official website (link here!).

Crimson Desert PS5 Pro Performance Mode “Surprised” Digital Foundry “By How Good it Was Overall”

The PS5 Pro version of Crimson Desert will let players choose from three graphics modes: Performance, Balanced, and Quality. Performance mode prioritizes smooth gameplay at 60 frames per second (or higher with compatible displays), with high-quality lighting effects and a resolution that starts at 1080p but is scaled up to 4K. Balanced mode targets 40 FPS (or over 48 FPS on certain displays) while scaling 1440p to 4K, also with high-quality lighting. Quality mode delivers the sharpest visuals at native 4K resolution with the best lighting effects, but limits the frame rate to 30 FPS. The image upscaling used in Performance and Balanced modes is done using Sony’s PSSR technology.
