This is the 4th year that Press Start has taken place, and this year, it featured a wide range of music including "Still Alive" from Portal, music from Okami, Suikoden, Tales of Legendia, and of course Final Fantasy and Super Mario Bros. OSV attended the concert and has the full set list along with impressions of each piece that was performed.
A gameplay demo of the cancelled Portal prequel F-Stop using recreated assets features no portals, and a unique camera that duplicates items.
From GamesReviews:"Portal with RTX is a fresh look for the 2007 classic. But it's not easy to run, and the results may not impress everybody."
Portal RTX may look like a quant remaster, but that couldn't be further from the truth. It's one of the most demanding games available today.
And in a bad way! This is not where gaming should be going. We should focus more on better physics, AI, more meaningful writing, substance in storytelling and overall art over reflections and lighting effects. But hey, you've got billion dollar companies trying to sell you stuff, so I guess you have to make a whole ecosystem around ray tracing because people make a living out of it on youtube. Talk about losing touch with reality and taking eye off the ball. Advancing gaming as a whole my ass!
