Having a (relatively) small device that can play basically any big game on it is a cool idea, and that's what I love about Valve's Steam Deck. But the Deck can be a bit bulky, and its battery just doesn't last sometimes. Plus it doesn't work easily with Xbox Game Pass. So the idea of a new, smaller handheld dedicated…

Portal with RTX

Hardware and GPU maker Nvidia has announced a new DLC pack for 2007's Portal. Called Portal with RTX, the content pack will be free to all players and launch in November 2022.

Check out the Portal with RTX world premiere trailer.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AZHBl5yWqJk

The goal of Portal with RTX is to portray a tech demo of sorts, both for Nvidia's ray tracing technology and for Nvidia RTX Remix, a new modding platform that will allow modders and amateur developers to add ray tracing to existing games. Nvidia claims that modders will "have the tools to make ambitious remasters, even for games that were previously unmoddable."

Players will be able to "import" a game to RTX Remix, enhance materials, create custom assets, then export an RTX mod equipped with ray tracing and support for other Nvidia-based features like DLSS (Deep Learning Super Sampling) and Nvidia Reflex (a free feature designed to lower input lag). Players can also check out comparison screenshots from the base game and Portal with RTX at this site, along with more detailed explanations of the technologies applied.

Portal with RTX was just one of the various Nvidia-related announcements, led by the introduction of the company's latest series of graphics cards. Nvidia claims that its GeForce RTX 40 series are up to 4X faster than the current 30 series. Alongside the RTX 40 series are updates to Nvidia's DLSS feature, which will be supported by 35 new games, including Cyberpunk 2077, Marvel's Spider-Man Remastered, and Hitman 3.

Portal with RTX launches in November on PC. The base Portal game is available on PC, and also appeared on the PS3, Xbox 360, Android, Linux, and Nintendo Switch.

     Logitech G Cloud Handheld SplashCloud gaming has become increasingly more popular worldwide. To capitalize on the emerging market, Logitech G has created a new, Android-powered gaming handheld that it is dedicated purely to cloud gaming — the Logitech G Cloud. This new handheld boasts impressive battery life, a traditional controller-style design and layout, and a decent touchscreen. All of this sounds pretty good, but what about the price? With an MSRP of $349.99 USD, this puts it in exact competition with the Steam Deck.   Powered by the sky Endorsed by Microsoft as an "optimized" device for Xbox Cloud Gaming, the Logitech G Cloud is a Wi-Fi-only handheld system designed exclusively for such a task. Powered by Android, the G Cloud doesn't contain much raw horsepower of its own. The specs include a Qualcomm Snapdragon 720G and an octa-core CPU that runs up to 2.3GHz; a modest chipset, but definitely nothing that can handle some heavyweight native gaming. For the most part, the device is targ...

     Brotato Early Access aliens potatoIf you ever dreamed of gunning down hordes of bad guys as a sentient potato, developer Blobfish's Brotato has you covered. This quirky rogue-lite arena shooter bears more than a little resemblance to the flash games you'd commonly find on Newgrounds, both in aesthetic and attitude. If you have a fondness for that 2000s Newgrounds vibe or enjoy the works of creators like Edmund McMillen, then Brotato could appeal to you. Fortunately, Brotato will make its way to Early Access six days from now on September 27. You'll be able to jump in quite soon if you like what you see in the Early Access trailer. As you might expect, Brotato focuses more on action-packed thrills than it does on narrative. But in case you still want to learn about the game's setup, it involves "a spaceship from Potato World" accidentally crash landing on a mysterious planet. The crash wipes out everyone on board except for Brotato, a highly-capable potato warrior who can use up...

     Terraria Final Update Labor Of Love Launch Release Date ChangesThis all feels so familiar, Re-Logic. I recall it was only around two years ago when I wrote about the Journey's End update, which I was told was the last coming to Terraria. Imagine my surprise when the final update received a final update some months later. And, what's this? Terraria is getting another final update, this time for reals. Maybe. Who can honestly say but developer Re-Logic itself. Jokes aside, the Labor of Love update is bringing some much-requested changes to Terraria — and it's releasing next week. Dozens on top of dozens of changes are coming in the update. Labor of Love (update 1.4.4) will likely live up to its name for Terraria fans. Re-Logic gave the YouTuber ChippyGaming the opportunity to announce this update in a six-minute video, which went into details. Some of the changes include cost reductions on items like the Defender Medal. Drop rate for the Rare Pirate Drops have been doubled, with the Flying Dutchman now "dramaticallyR...
