     Can't wait for Wolfenstein 3? RTCW is getting ray tracing

The Xbox Bethesda showcase is sure to bring some Starfield news please, but many fans (including us) are hoping to finally get a Wolfenstein 3 reveal. Even if it does, it'll likely still be a long way off, but what might ease the wait is a Return to Castle Wolfenstein ray tracing mod.

The newer Wolfenstein games by Machine Games are fantastic but there's something really special about 2001's Return to Castle Wolfenstein. It's had plenty of mods in its time - including a recent effort to recreate the lost Enemy Territory single-player expansion - but it's still looking a bit long in the tooth at this point, despite the overhaul mod released a few years ago.

Well, if Doom can get ray tracing, so can the best Wolfenstein game - and this isn't coming from a regular fan, either. Dihara Wijetunga is a senior graphics research and development engineer at AMD and they're creating a Wolf PT mod - no, not that PT, this is a "real-time path tracer" mod with "a custom DX12 backend."

     Warhammer 40K Darktide expands Vermintide into a

It's already one of our most anticipated upcoming games based solely on developer Fatshark's previous game Warhammer: Vermintide 2, but don't expect just a futuristic reskin - the team calls Warhammer 40,000: Darktide gameplay a "proper FPS experience" that will "expand" all that was great about Vermintide.

With the Warhammer 40K: Darktide release date set for September, details on the highly-anticipated co-op game are finally beginning to flood in. Along with a brand new trailer, Fatshark has released a new blog post on Steam with details on Darktide's gameplay and how it differs from Vermintide.

The post explains how Fatshark started off by taking "the core of Vermintide" and focused on creating a "hybrid between meaty melee and classic FPS" gameplay. However, after its initial prototype, the team decided that it needed to ensure "a proper FPS experience for our ranged combat," including "blend states and dynamic weapons and advanced recoil mechanics and suppression loops and interfacing." Players will be able to customise their weaponry, and Fatshark is making sure the "rule of cool" always applies even when creating lore-breaking guns. "The balance has always been between lore and fun," it adds.

     Street Fighter 6 cross-play and rollback net code confirmed

Street Fighter 6 cross-play is confirmed - courtesy of a tweet from community figure Maximilian, who says that the much-anticipated feature is "confirmed from the devs directly" to be part of the new fighting game. In addition, GameSpot's Tamoor Hussain, who is also at the event, says that SFVI will use the popular rollback net code functionality.

Lots of gameplay footage of Street Fighter VI has been coming out of the Summer Game Fest event, with plenty of community figures getting their hands on series veterans Ryu and Chun-Li, alongside returning fighter Luke from Street Fighter V and newcomer Jamie. The news of cross-play will be very welcome to fans, who will be able to get into scraps with friends regardless of what system they're on. It should also help to ensure that the fighting game manages to maintain a healthy competitive online community.

Confirmation of the game's rollback net code also comes as good news. For those not in the know on their fighting game technology, rollback net code anticipates what a player is doing during any micro-drops in connection (caused by the likes of packet loss, lag spikes, and so on). Due to the nature of fighting games, these assumptions are usually correct - but if they aren't, the game corrects things in a single frame by 'rolling back' to the correct version of events.

     Io Interactive Hitman 3 amd fsr 2.0 supported games listThere's nothing worse than picking up a new game only to find out that your graphics card doesn't run it quite as smooth as you'd like. Fortunately, this is becoming less of a common problem for those with modern systems and thanks to new, high quality image upscaling techniques. FidelityFX Super Resolution 2.0, abbreviated as FSR 2.0, is the latest upscaler to hit the gaming market, and AMD has announced five more additions coming soon to the supported games list. These titles include Abyss World, Hitman 3, Rescue Party: Live!, Super People, and The Callisto Protocol. This latest announcement brings the total up to 16 games where AMD FSR 2.0 support will be added soon.
