Hands-on Doom: The Dark Ages - O idTech 8 é impressionante no PC

3 weeks ago | eurogamer.pt | John Linneman |Will Judd

Doom: The Dark Ages vai ser lançado em maio, mas na semana passada tive a oportunidade de me sentar durante várias horas para jogar o jogo num PC topo de gama. O que posso dizer e mostrar é limitado, mas o último Doom moderno e as suas bases idTech 8 já parecem extremamente impressionantes. Há muito para elogiar aqui - bem como algumas advertências que vale a pena referir. Primeiro, o motor.
Doom: The Dark Ages hands-on tech preview - idTech 8 impresses hugely on PC

3 weeks ago | eurogamer.net | John Linneman |Will Judd

Doom: The Dark Ages is set to release this May, but last week I had a chance to sit down for several hours to play the game on a high-end PC. What I can say and show is limited, but the latest modern Doom and its idTech 8 underpinnings already look hugely impressive. There's plenty to praise here - as well as a few caveats that are worth bringing up. First, the engine.

Xenoblade Chronicles X: Definitive Edition brings one of the most visually impressive Wii U titles to Switch

3 weeks ago | eurogamer.net | John Linneman

Stop me if you've heard this one before: a Wii U classic arrives on Switch with improved character models, smoother visuals and more. This one might be the end of an era though, as Xenoblade Chronicles X looks like one of the final Wii U titles to receive a Switch version. It's a bittersweet moment, but Xenoblade X is a heck of a game to end on, being one of the most visually impressive titles on Wii U and a technical marvel of its day. How does it fare on Switch?
Split Fiction é simplesmente brilhante: Testado na PS5, PS5 Pro, PC e Xbox Series X/S

1 month ago | eurogamer.pt | John Linneman |Oliver Mackenzie |Will Judd

Split Fiction é um dos melhores jogos cooperativos que jogámos recentemente, oferecendo uma jogabilidade nítida em ecrã dividido numa vasta gama de plataformas, incluindo PS5, PS5 Pro, PC e Xbox Series X/S. Talvez isso não seja uma surpresa, dado que este é o mais recente título da equipa da Hazelight Studios, conhecida por It Takes Two, A Way Out e, sob a alçada da Starbreeze, Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons.
Split Fiction is simply brilliant: PS5, PS5 Pro, PC and Xbox Series X/S tested

1 month ago | eurogamer.net | John Linneman |Oliver Mackenzie |Will Judd

Split Fiction is one of the best co-op games we've played recently, offering sharp split-screen gameplay across a wide range of platforms, including PS5, PS5 Pro, PC and Xbox Series X/S. Perhaps that's no surprise, given that this is the latest title from the team at Hazelight Studios known for It Takes Two, A Way Out and, under Starbreeze, Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons. But on what platform does it play best - and is this a rare example of a perfect Unreal Engine 5 release?
Avowed é o triunfo técnico da Obsidian - apesar do peso típico do UE5

2 months ago | eurogamer.pt | John Linneman

Avowed surpreendeu-me. Este belo jogo de role-playing aberto é deslumbrante, corre bem no PC e na Xbox e utiliza as mais recentes funcionalidades do Unreal Engine 5 quase sem falhas.
Avowed is Obsidian's technical triumph - despite the typical heft of UE5

2 months ago | eurogamer.net | John Linneman

Avowed surprised me. This beautiful, open-ended role-playing game is gorgeous, it runs smoothly on PC and Xbox alike and it leverages Unreal Engine 5's latest features almost without fault. Anyone familiar with Obsidian Entertainment's storied history would know that its track record for technical polish isn't exactly sterling, so it's an unexpected triumph - one of the best showcases of a modern Unreal Engine 5 title that uses the engine's best features while avoiding its biggest pitfalls.
Ninja Gaiden 2 Black não é perfeito - mas é a melhor versão de sempre

2 months ago | eurogamer.pt | John Linneman

O Unreal Engine 5 é um dos motores de jogo que mais recursos consome: atingir 60 fotogramas por segundo utilizando a iluminação global Lumen e a micro-geometria Nanite é um grande desafio para as produtoras. Com isto em mente, talvez não seja surpresa ver que a Team Ninja optou por uma “dificuldade de mestre ninja” no remake de Ninja Gaiden 2. Não só as funcionalidades de ponta do UE5 estão implementadas em Ninja Gaiden 2 Black, como a produtora optou por atingir 120 fps numa consola.
Ninja Gaiden 2 Black isn't perfect - but it's the best version yet

2 months ago | eurogamer.net | John Linneman

Unreal Engine 5 is one of the most resource-intensive game engines out there: just reaching 60 frames per second while utilising Lumen global illumination and Nanite micro-geometry is a serious challenge for developers. With that in mind, it perhaps comes as no surprise to see that Team Ninja opted for 'master ninja difficulty' in remaking Ninja Gaiden 2. Not only are UE5's cutting-edge features deployed in Ninja Gaiden 2 Black, the developers are choosing to target 120fps on a console.
