Indeed! Even better, make them actually fun! It's sad and awesome that old arcade sports game age better than the realistic ones that come out. MLB The Show is still fun, because it remembers to have arcade style to go along with it as a separate mode.

Maybe this was already posted during Gamescom but anyways -

Ok wtf did I just watch. Like some tripped out Deus Ex/BioShock hybrid, but it piqued my curiosity.

Dunno if its immersive sim, it seems more combat focus than that.

Still I wouldn't say no to a new one, although I know full well they always bomb.

Might be worth checking out -
Saw this and was all like "It's gonna be about RTSS, isn't it?", and sure enough, Rivatuner. Seriously tho, RTSS is great, and a must-have for any discerning pc gamer.

A few best practices that weren't mentioned in the video:

- For the best results when capping your framerate with RTSS, you should also turn off v-sync, as well as any in-game framerate limiting settings. Using them together can sometimes actually make things worse, and/or introduce extra input lag, on top of the input lag you'll already get from using v-sync. Tho without v-sync you might get screen tearing, but RTSS has an option called Scanline Sync that lets you determine on which scanline the tear will be and move it around as desired. Like for instance to the first or last scanline way at the top or bottom (e.g. lines 1 or 1079 on a 1080p monitor), where depending on your screen, it won't annoy you or maybe is not even visible at all. Also, upside of no v-sync is less input lag, so more responsive gaming.

- The video pointed out you should cap the framerate at something your pc can comfortably handle, which is good advice, but you should also cap it to something your screen can comfortably display i.e. either the highest framerate it can display or any evenly divisible fraction thereof like 1/2, 1/3, 1/4 and so on. For example, if you have a 120hz screen, you want to cap at 120, 60, 40 or 30. Tho if you have a display with g-sync, freesync and/or variable refresh rate, then you could get away with deviating from this rule

Speaking of,

If FROM falls into the abyss, then it’s been a fun run but I’ll be out.
Well, if Elden Ring is FROM's Swan Song, it'll be the prefect way to go out. Honestly, I hope they can figure out what comes next after this even if nobody from above fucks with them.
