Aggro Crab has announced that underwater Soulslike platformer Another Crab's Treasure has passed a major sales milestone within its first week on release.
The official Senua's Saga: Hellblade II PC system requirements were revealed today, alongside DLSS 3, AMD FSR 3 and XeSS 1.1 support
This game will look fantastic. I honestly believe that visually, this will be the best-looking game released this gen so far.
Games Asylum: "This side-scrolling, pointy projectile lobbing, action platformer makes its inspirations known early. Before jumping into the fur-lined boots of a stumpy Viking-esque warrior, we’re presented with a short introduction set in an arcade. The camera slowly pans around, seemingly drawn to a single cabinet. As it approaches, a cat can be observed, fixated on the glow from the CRT screen before the camera zooms directly into the machine itself."
I'm currently running this "free upgrade" on my Laptop, and (almost) everything is running fine, and smoothly.
Hope they don't "overfix" and break it before the actual release. It would be nice to finally see an improvement (especially in speed) in a new OS release. Also this faster SSD, and promised size reduction means, it's coming to netbooks too. This may finally convince me to buy one. (As long as it has a viable graphics chip).
(Can't try games on my underpowered laptop, but it's told that Widnows 7 runs games faster than Vista or XP on same configuration,... nice)
As long as it doesn't gobble a GB of RAM this time around, I'm fine with a new OS. Although, I'm starting to become fond of Vista, despite all the haters. It's got, at the least, a fair interface.
So far my windows 7 beta is going smooth, the Ram usage and CPU usage is very low and allows for my programs to open up faster, and even shut down time is much faster.
