Apparently Indiana Jones is an Nvidia sponsored title and will feature path tracing on PC. I had almost zero interest in the game before but now I will probably check it out on Game Pass lol. Hopefully the tech makes it into the new Doom game as well.

Starfield really shouldve been an Nvidia sponsored title, that game would've benefitted so much visually from RT.

S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl is landing in a few days, two "big-ish" MS games fairly close together with Indiana Jones not far off

Fable Alpha Gameplay Footage Details Revealed by Insider

According to Industry Insider, Fable's alpha gameplay footage consists of "CD Projekt Red DNA." Here are more details.

Corden discusses how the alpha gameplay footage of Fable contains elements reminiscent of “CD Projekt Red DNA.” He explains that Playground Games has hired several developers from CD Projekt Red, including a combat designer.

From the combat footage, he can identify where the inspiration originates. While the gameplay isn’t an exact replica of The Witcher, it features similar mechanics. Furthermore, the footage looks “super polished” for an alpha build.

Moreover, Corden revealed that Fable’s alpha gameplay footage showcased various weapon types, including bows and arrows, spells, and melee weapons—similar to those used by Geralt. He also discusses the design of certain enemy types, featuring comedic and frightening elements for chickens and werewolves. Overall, he felt that the gameplay looked impressive, and the combat was “very tight” for an alpha build.

Would like to see something instead of just reading hype. The combat is probably the weakest part of TW3 so that’s an interesting design choice.

Would love for this game to be a smash hit. Playing the Fable series was a ton of fun when I was younger

142 is a good bit, but what was the new Flight Sim? Was it over 300?

Actually way less. A friend had downloaded it and it's something like 27 gigs. Seems a large part of the game is on servers.
