This new FPS game uses your framerate as your health bar, so I’ll brb after I’ve bought a 240Hz monitor

FPS Quest is a unique meta game that uses framerate as a health bar, allowing players to navigate a low-framerate environment without the discomfort typically associated with performance issues. Players traverse dungeons armed with a shotgun, experiencing framerate dips as they take damage, but can restore it by defeating enemies or adjusting game settings. The game features mechanics such as demolishing walls and removing doors, which affect gameplay and map navigation. It includes roguelike elements, cheats, glitches, and customizable settings, encouraging multiple runs to unlock upgrades and weapons. FPS Quest is set to launch on Steam, with no announced release date yet.

WUCHANG: Fallen Feathers Is One of the Best-Looking PC Games, but Patch 1.4 Breaks Resolution Scaling

The gaming community has had mixed reactions to the release of Fallen Feathers, with some players criticizing the game's performance and graphics, while others praise its visual quality. WUCHANG is noted for its impressive graphics, achieving stunning visuals at 4K/Extreme settings on high-end PCs, particularly with DLSS 4 Balanced Mode. The NVIDIA RTX 4090 yields a minimum of 36 FPS and an average of 41 FPS when running WUCHANG, similar to its performance with Black Myth: Wukong. A recent Patch 1.4 aimed to improve performance but introduced issues, such as low resolution defaults and problems with the Frame Generation feature. Suggestions for improvement include refining graphics settings and potentially transitioning to Unreal Engine 5.6.

Crytek says the most important difference between Far Cry and Crysis had nothing to do with technology: ‘In Crysis, we mimicked nature as closely as possible’

Crysis continues to impress with its visual fidelity years after its release, showcasing a significant leap in graphical prowess compared to its predecessor, Far Cry. The development team traveled to Haiti to gather reference data for the game's environment design, emphasizing the importance of firsthand experience in creating an authentic representation of the tropical setting. This innovative approach allowed them to mimic natural behaviors, such as sunlight interaction and water refraction, contributing to the game's lasting realism. The techniques used in Crysis align with contemporary practices in game development, including physically-based rendering. However, the future of the franchise is uncertain, as Crysis 4 has been placed "on hold" following a 15% workforce reduction at Crytek.
