The Witcher 3 launch trailer is the best of them all

Square Enix’s DX12 Demo Crosses Uncanny Valley

DirectX 12 is looking mighty fine. NVIDIA posted a tech demo video from BUILD 2015, showing off what can be achieved with the new API. It’s made by Square Enix and is running on quad GeForce Titan X GPUs.

Budding filmmakers rejoice, for GTA V’s PC version will include Rockstar Editor—it will let you record, edit, and share videos from both story and online modes.

Besides the usual stuff, it will come with special camera modes, filters, depth of field, and even soundtrack options. You’ll also be able to stage your sequences and put them together using the editor.

GOG keeps on being amazing: they’re now letting you claim your old boxed PC games simply by entering your old key code.

Only a handful of games is supported at the moment. They’re starting off with the S.T.A.L.K.E.R. series. Basically, you have to enter your old Gamespy codes and the game will be added to your GOG library. More games will be added soon.

The added benefit of this is that you get the GOG bonuses too; the compatibility headaches also go away.

Dark Souls 2: Scholar of the First Sin is coming out on consoles next week. So, you might be wondering which version to pick up: PS4 or Xbox One? Well, Digital Foundry has the answer for you--it’s PS4.

After extensive testing, DF found that both consoles target 60 fps and use v-sync all the time. However, the Xbox One version has greater drops, going down to as much as 40 fps. Meanwhile, the PS4 runs steadily within 50 to 60 fps.

“[The PS4] is a consistently better performer, and in a game that demands a smoother framerate, it can make a difference,” the analysis concluded.

I guess you know your answer now. The game was released on PC today. Here are a few screenshots.

Quantum Break, Microsoft and Remedy’s upcoming time-bending game, is being delayed to 2016. It was initially set for release this holiday season.

As a matter of fact, this season’s lineup is the reason why it’s being delayed. “We’ve got the strongest games lineup in Xbox history right now,” noted Microsoft head of publishing Shannon Loftis. Those games include Halo 5, Rise of the Tomb Raider, Fable Legends, and Forza Motorsport 6.

There’s a Fast & Furious expansion coming out for Forza Horizon 2, and it’s going to be free until April 10. It’s a standalone expansion that doesn’t require any Forza games to play.

In Forza Horizon 2 Presents Fast & Furious, you’re recruited by the Fast & Furious’ Tej Parker (voiced in the game by Christopher “Ludacris” Bridges) to help him acquire ten special cars for his Fast & Furious crew – the same cars you see in the film Furious 7. Your goal is to acquire each of these cars by taking part in a series of automotive challenges inspired by the Fast & Furious films. From the 900-hp 1970 Dodge Charger to an armored 2013 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited and more, each of the cars in the Forza Horizon 2 Presents Fast & Furious standalone expansion is both stunningly accurate and amazingly fun to drive.
